If you're willing to spend the $$$, they might work. Unfortunately I believe there are about 10x as many guys on there as there are women. I was a member of AFF for a while in an area with a lot more people, and it proved to be a waste of time. You're more likely to find a fuck buddy at your local bar than on AFF, I think. I've stopped looking for a fuck buddy and just stick with ECCIE ladies now.

It doesn't help that AFF and similar sites used to (maybe still do) post ads with hyped come-ons along the lines of "GET LAID TONIGHT!!!" Ain't gonna happen when the odds are that much against you.
I had success with AFF while living in Lubbock, TX awhile back. It took about a month for things to begin clicking, but I hooked up with 5 women in three months. 4 were very worthwhile. Had multiple repeats with 3 women. Don't post dick pics, be very polite when speaking on the phone. Make a date to meet for drinks or lunch and be a gentleman. A lot of the men on those sites are clods. Courtesy can go a long way for you. Good luck!

Though I have no doubt we wouldn't have been "together" even that long but for the fact that she was a nurse working part-time, and her supervisors and co-workers found our story so fulfilled their own romantic fantasies ("Linda found True Love on the Internet!!! Maybe someday we will, too!") that they bent over backwards to accommodate her schedule requests that enabled us to spend a lot of time together (the fringe benefit of being a woman working in a department staffed entirely by other women, I guess).
The one thing to remember when working AFF is that despite the way the site is (was?) advertised, The Vast Majority Of Women There are looking for love, not sex. That's where the courtesy part works wonders; if you come across as a sincere guy looking for a relationship rather than a horny bastard looking for a tight pussy to stick his cock in, you're already
way ahead of the pack of men there.
And occasionally you can find an escort there. I'm not going to name any names (don't even backchannel me on this; won't happen), but A Very Well Regarded Lady Here and I first met via a profile she posted on AFF. For all I know she may still have one.
