I love dating sites that are free and I have had great luck with them. So why pay sites like Match.com?

MY THOUGHT EXACTLY *yelling at the top of my lungs* WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I WANT TO PAY A MONTHLY FEE TO MEET A BUNCH OF AZZHOLES BEFORE I END UP MEETING SOMEONE WORTH MY TIME..... *no pun intended towards anyone* |

You do realize you're asking people who are on a free site, right?

As one possible reason: It's real easy to create a fake profile, or have multiple profiles that are up to no good, on the unpaid sites.
I doubt there'll be as many scammers, fakers, etc. on a site for which they have to pay a monthly fee. |

More people are probably serious about meeting and dating since they're paying for the site as well. |

Actually there are more scammers, especially Nigerian scammers, on the pay sites. I have had a lot of them contact me. They don't mind paying. They get a lot of money ripping off lonely men and women.

I don't know. I don't go to dating sites, paid or not.

On another pay site, I barely had my profile filled in about half way and scammers galore... I blanked out the account and moved on. The latter site should have been called nigerian singles. |

I will say this -- the only site where I received a lot of interest from people who were actually looking for a relationship, was a pay site I tried for a few months in early 2006. I was contacted by 174 of their members in a 3-month period, most of them locals (within 25 miles, many within a mile or two).
Unfortunately, none were suitable (it was clear from their e-mails that most hadn't read my profile -- or couldn't read it) -- but I have never received anything even remotely approaching that level of interest on a free site; let alone I've never even been able to GET a local to talk to me on a free site! |
