I learned my fair share of lessons on Shag. Don't purchase their overpriced membership. It's designed to rip off gullible male users. I must give credit to AFFDate.com that's where I switched to after all the hullabaloo with Shag. I met a lot of genuine girls there. They have very high caliber of women. You know what is the amount of genuine women on Shag? I would estimate - zero! Shag is absolutely phony. All photos are stolen, so all profiles must be fake. By the law of averages, being affect user of a site for 4 months I should have met at least one or two genuine girls. But Alas, I just wasted my money! I would have had the same results if I had just flushed my credit card down the toilet.
