According to the statistics one in five singles are currently in committed relationship with someone they met on a dating site. Online dating industry came a long way from Yahoo Personals’ days. If you haven’t recently looked at online dating websites you will be astonished of what you’ve missed.
Some sites will take you through hours of questionnaires and personality tests and at the end it will provide you an ideal match. eHarmony is one of the leading dating websites offering sophisticated computer generated profile matching services. The only down side is that filling a questionnaire will take you as much time as preparing for your SATs. And eventually your online ideal match might end up being another unemployed looser similar to the one you’ve met few weeks ago at the bar. And sadly this ultimate discovering experience will cost you anywhere from $20 to $60 per month.
Other websites point blank will ask you to cheat on your spouse. Half of the world’s population is single and Ashley Madisson is notoriously trying to increase that number. This website might seem like a fun adventure for 20 plus something year old guys trying to have a dream date with “cougars”. But again, this fun will cost you some big dollars.
And then there is the leader of all the dating sites – Match and dozens of their affiliated sites covering everything all spheres of dating: Christian, black, truck driver, pet owner, housewife, etc. Nice looking site with a nice monthly fee when it comes to finding your perfect match.
Somewhere in between there are sites like Zoosk, LavaLife, Singlesnet, Chemistry, OkCupid, True, Speeddate, Friend Finder Network and many other websites devoted to help you to find your only true love. All those sites to the certain degree are paid with lengthy questionnaires that make you think you are applying for a college or a car loan.
On the positive side there are few truly free sites such as Date My Ride, PlentyofFish or Datepad offering free, fun and exciting online dating experience.
Date My Ride is free to join and offers fun and simple experience when picking your next date. There are no lengthy questionnaires to fill out and all you have to do is choose your date based on the car she or he drives. S,o if you’re looking for a hot blonde driving a Corvette or 30 plus something year old guy with BMW, Date My Ride is the site for you.
PlentyofFish is a true success story of a single entrepreneur Markus Frind. As site’s name and slogan suggest the site is free and there is plenty of fish in there so that’s why 3.5 million users flock to POF every month.
Datepad is another fast growing free online dating website where you can login via your Facebook account and then invite all your Facebook friends to join in.
So when you are looking to score big on your next online date just remember it all depends on your personality, patience, wallet and in some cases ride.
