Also, as the film enters its final third, it begins to meander, before resolving itself with the kind of Hollywood sentimentality that it seems so eager to distance itself from in the early stages.
Despite its flaws, though, No Strings Attached is a solid romantic comedy with some decent laughs that is raised up a notch by Portman’s likable performance. If you’re not a fan of the genre, then it’s not going to win you over, but it’s charming in places and worth a look if you’re after some slightly less demanding fare.
If you are in a relationship, whether you are married, engaged or just with a long-term partner, there are plenty of reasons why you might want to continue playing the field. No Strings Attached is a niche online matching service that allows single and attached people to hook-up. It’s a freemium platform without any judgement run by one of the largest online dating companies in the world and can offer more than 3 million potential short-term encounters.
In this review, we take a closer look at the married affairs and dating website, No Strings Attached including the costs of membership, key features and whether it’s worth joining.
What is No Strings Attached?
Powered by Various Inc. who also operate Adult Friend Finder, No Strings Attached is a niche dating site targeted at single and married people who are looking to have an affair.
Various Inc. works by compiling its huge membership database and creating a series of spin-off sites that cater to more specific groups of people. Their entire portfolio is a varied one and includes a Christian dating service, Big Church as well as more fetish and kink orientated platforms like the hugely popular BDSM dating site Alt.
The result is that Various Inc can tailor their various platforms to include the profiles of millions of members who all share a common fetish, fantasy, lifestyle or traits. Bottom line? Customers only have to register on one site but their details will automatically be used on any of the networks dating platforms that relate to their needs, wants and desires.
No Strings Attached is therefore a melting pot of all those Adult Friend Finder users who have indicated that they are in a relationship and looking for something on the side or who are interested in dating married men/women. That’s in addition to those customers who have registered via the No Strings Attached portal.
Despite the fact that the site itself has only around 85,000 monthly direct hits in total, the Adult Friend Finder Network is estimated to have over 80 million users worldwide and No Strings Attached reports to have 3.4 million people on its database.
What’s Special About No Strings Attached?
You simply register some basic details and the site, via geo-data, shows you a selection of thumbnails from profiles that are close to your home town.
You can use the free (but basic) search filters to sort through the results to narrow down the distance and age of potential matches but that’s about 
all you can do on your free account, including contacting other members; however, you can send them a little �flirt’.
VIP members can use a more advanced search facility and really drill down on the local results by ethnicity, body type, height, religion, physical appearance and social habits (drinking, smoking, drugs etc). Paid members can then contact other members directly using the in-site messaging service as well as view photos and videos uploaded by other users.
