Login Process
Profile creation is incredibly quick and easy. To start creating your account, scroll down the homepage to find the Register button or click the Intimate Neighbors login button in the top right corner and then click on the New User Sign Up link. This will take you to a profile creation page where you can either sign in with your Google account or manually enter your details.
The details include creating a username and password and entering your gender. Then, you'll be taken to a page asking what gender you seek, your city, and your date of birth. Lastly, you'll need to agree to and confirm several things. First, you need to agree to the terms and conditions. Then, you'll need to confirm that you're over 18, accept the use of cookies, and agree to share your personal information with the site.
Finally, you need to confirm that you understand there are fictional profiles and opt into or out of marketing emails. If you logged in with your Google account, you're done – if you didn't, you'll need to click the link emailed to you to verify your email. After that, you can enter the site.
Profile Completion
Completing your profile is relatively painless and will only take about 5 minutes. To have a fully completed profile, you'll need to add some photos and write a few lines about yourself and what you're looking for. You'll also complete some personal information, which are shorter questions, and select your answer from a drop-down menu.
The shorter questions include your gender and date of birth, which you completed when creating your profile. It also asks for your height, body type, marital status, and hair and eye color. And just like that, your profile is complete. This is a much shorter profile than is commonly seen on dating sites, although it's normal to have a less detailed profile on chat sites.
User Account Quality
There are many female profiles on IntimateNeighbors, and most seem to have photos. However, 100% of the female profiles we came across were "fictional entertainer profiles", indicated by a heart symbol. That means it's a fake profile run by the site. There may be real female users, but they're likely so buried underneath the sea of fake ones that even if you came across one, you wouldn't know.
There's no matchmaking algorithm in place, either. You merely search for profiles and set criteria for your preferences. Our test profiles couldn't find any male profiles, even after changing the distance to include all the states.
Dating Features
Search via Grid or Heart Cards
There are two ways to browse through other profiles on IntimateNeighbor: via grid or heart cards. The grid search will show you a grid of 4x5 profile photos of other users who fit your search criteria, along with their usernames and ages. This lets you get a feel for the site's other users and spot someone you're particularly interested in.
The second way to browse is using Heart Cards, which show other users' profile photos one at a time. You'll also see their username and age, and you can either click the heart to Like their profile or the X to move on to the following user. It's a way to slow things down and consider each person before moving on, rather than scanning a list of pictures and only closely viewing one at a time.
Private Photos
A scintillating feature of Intimate Neighbors is the ability to add private photos. When adding pictures to your profile, you can choose to set them as 'private' or leave them visible to the public. If you set them as private, they'll be visible with a blurred filter on your profile, and users can request to see them.
This is a fun way to be sexy and flirty while keeping your dignity intact. Private photo requests will be sent as a message, so you must purchase a message package to use this feature. Private pictures can then be sent in the chat.
Send Photos and Emojis in Chat
In addition to sending messages to chat and flirt with each other, you can also include emojis and send photos. A limited number of emojis are available – including most faces, various hearts, some different drinks, and, naturally, the peach, eggplant, and banana emojis.
You can also click the camera button to select a picture from your device to send in the chat. It lets you keep things engaging while getting to know another user because you can share a beautiful view, a cute animal, or more spicy images if you're getting naughty.
Prices & Costs
IntimateNeighbor has no subscription or token system; you can simply pay per message by purchasing various message packages. With a free account, you can view profiles, swipe through the heart cards, and view messages, but you can only send messages once you purchase them.
Messages
Several message packages are available, some of which are a "limited offer" – although it's unclear when the offer will end. Seemingly, the normal price is $2.50 per message, but the more messages you buy, the cheaper the per-message price is. The most popular packages are:
$9.95 for 4 messages ($2.5/message)
$19.90 for 8 messages ($2.50/message)
$49.90 for 25 messages ($2/message)
There are also the limited offers which cost:
$6 for 3 messages ($2/message)
$9.90 for 16 messages ($0.60/message)
$99 for 52 messages ($1.90/message)
$149 for 100 messages ($1.49/message)
$299 for 300 messages ($1/message)
The messages are expensive, especially considering you're paying per message. You'll be shocked at how quickly you'll run out of messages. Unlike most sites that run on a subscription, your purchase of messages is a one-time payment that will not automatically recur.
How Safe Is IntimateNeighbors.com?
Fictional Profiles
While it's easy to think that the Intimate Neighbors dating site involves chatting with real people with the aim of meeting, it's mainly a fantasy chatting site. You'll notice that the use of fictional profiles is mentioned in the terms at the bottom of almost every page. It's also mentioned in the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, on the homepage, and in the fictional profiles themselves.
Fictional profiles are marked with a heart symbol, but this is only visible if you visit the actual profile and look next to their profile picture. You'll notice that most female profiles have the heart symbol. Our testers searched and found zero female profiles without the heart symbol.
Third Parties
The fictional/entertainment profiles are run by third-party entertainers, meaning any personal information you share in chat will be shared with third parties who may be located anywhere in the world. Your information may also be shared with other third-party service providers such as IT teams, moderators, and others if required to do so because of a lawsuit.
Any third-party service providers are contractually required to keep your information safe, but it's good to keep this in mind. Be mindful of what information you share online.
Final Thoughts
IntimateNeighbors.com is an interesting site, and the rating depends on what you're using it for. If you're trying to meet real people and go on dates, you'll likely be disappointed since most profiles are fictional. You'll also be disappointed if you're interested in men because the site only has female profiles. If you're interested in women, only looking to chat online, and don't mind paying a minimum of $0.60 per message, this site is for you.
While registration is fast and profiles are short, only a few features are available, and messaging gets expensive fast. As a dating site, we'd rate it 4/10, and as a chat site, 7/10. For these reasons, we give it an overall rating of 5.5/10. It's not bad, but there are better sites out there.
