What’s better a paid or unpaid dating site?

Posted by:

I’ve recently moved from unpaid to a pay dating site. I can’t sit here and tell you that there are massive differences in how the services work. What I can say is that the people on the paid sites seem to be more invested. That’s not to say everyone that I encountered on an unpaid dating site was not invested but it felt harder.

Another Interesting Dating Service: MyChanceRomance

Posted by:

With the site Chatroulette becoming so popular, it’s no surprise to see people jumping on the idea wagon. In this case, someone has come up with the idea of combining the random video chatting of Chatroulette with dating online and they’ve ended up with MyChanceRomance (or what I would like to call “the most painful way to date online if you hate rejection”).

Posted by:

Last month a California court ruled that eHarmony will have to do more to promote its gay and lesbian dating services. I’ve been reading this story around the internet and it seems that many people are suggesting that eHarmony will now accept gay and lesbian singles into their main site. However, after reading some articles I’m pretty sure that this is not the case.

From the article:

The proposed settlement would require eHarmony to display its gay and ...

The View from the Other Side

Posted by:

Near the end of my online dating, I discovered that sharing my dating experiences with my dates really opened the discussion up. Not only that, these candid conversations also opened my eyes to the absolute hassle women have to go through and gave me a glimpse of how they felt about online dating in general. Eventually, I found I was even enjoying dates where there was no “spark” because we became fast friends sharing our online dating experiences. Since my ...

The Internet Dating Guide

Posted by:

Earlier this year, I was trying to determine if there was any use for a blog like this. If the web was saturated with every other person’s opinion on how online dating is best approached, I’d skip it. Specifically, I was searching for dating sites that provided a significant amount of advice. Most of the dating sites I found were fine but I disagreed with how some of them recommended a person find dating success. It’s not that I think ...

The dating sites are listed because ease-of-use, popularity, honest business practices, etc. Personally, I stuck with the best known companies when dating online because I believed this would give me the best odds (I assumed the best known would have the most members). Regardless, this list should offer some value as I ...
