There
are literally 1000's and 1000's of dating and matchmaking sites
out there on the Internet! Question is - how do you find one
suitable for you?
Well - we've done a bit of homework and hunted about for the
best Internet dating sites and deals around.
Most incidentally are charge services - that is - they are rarely
'FREE' as advertised but pay as you go. The reason for this
is that the largest dating sites have the biggest overheads
and whilst they do on the whole offer a good service, some are
more costly than others. Some even too pricey, simply exist
to make money without concern of the user. A good example of
this would be the recent massive increase in the number of 'adult
dating sites'. Beware - these are not scams but are designed
to get you hooked in one way or another.
To help you understand what is happening in terms of dating
sites on the web many companies get together and form joint
services but actualy still appear to be different sites. What
this means is you may sign up to say - JonosSingles.com via
a certain web page - and someone else may sign up to SusysSingles.com.
However both these sites use the same database and your details
will be stored along with people from the 'other site'. This
is how some of the sites manage to have such huge numbers of
members. However you are likely to be sharing one database with
a miraid of other sites.
This is not a problem - but it does underline the deceptiveness
of the Internet. Many companies and sites will get together
and produce 'indepandant' reviews' of dating sites and services
but in fact the links they have on these sites take you directly
to their services and so are not independant at all. Again -
just an example of the way site traffic is drawn to specific
sites.
Anyhow - this doesn't stop some of these sites being first class
in terms of functionality - even if the fees leave something
to be desired. See below for a list of the most talked about
dating sites on the web. Prices are all shown after the short
description or review of the dating site and more information
on each service can be found by clicking the 'about us' links
next to the reviews of each date service.
