How
To Find The Best, Free Online Dating Services
There are so many free online dating services
these days that it is hard to know how to find the best ones.
You can waste a lot of time on a site that turns out to be
full of tire kickers or people who are not honest.
The
main risk with a free dating site is that the members tend
not to be so serious as on paid sites. This is not surprising
when you think about it.
Imagine a guy who is just looking to pass some dead time at
work by emailing a few pretty girls. He may be married, he
may be in another country, or he may just not want the commitment
of having a real relationship. Guys like that will waste a
lot of your time and you are likely to find many of them on
the free sites. They are not likely to pay out good money just
to amuse themselves sending emails to women they do not want
to meet. Of course you get the same thing the other way around
and there will be women who just want to amuse themselves this
way too.
At the same time, there
are plenty of genuine people who simply
do not have the money to be a member of a paid dating site,
or who want to meet a lot of people so they are members of
many sites. So when you find a new online dating free site,
how do you know if the members are serious?
The simple answer is to look through the profiles before you
join, or certainly before you construct your own profile. You
would probably do this anyway in that you would look at the
profiles of the opposite gender to see if they have the type
of person that would interest you.
But
you should do more - you should also look at the profiles
of other women (if you are a woman). These are the women who
attracted the current men members to join the site. Are they
like you? Are they looking for the same kind of relationship
as you? The better you fit into this existing community, the
more likely it is that you will find Mr. Right on the site.
What About The Site Owner
Another thing that you should consider when joining a free
site is: what is the site owner getting out of it? You may
not think this is your concern, but in fact it can be a real
threat to your security.
Owners of free websites usually have one or more of these
motivations:
- Advertisers
pay them to run advertisements on the site. The site covers
its costs and more this way.
- Occasionally,
you may find a site that is run simply with the purpose of
putting people in touch with each other, with
no attempt to make money. These sites are often for people
of a particular religious or social group and may be run by
a non profit organization.
- The
site owner may make money from spin-off products or services.
For example, they may sell an ebook about how to
write the perfect online dating profile.
- The
site owner may make money from selling your personal details
(email, telephone etc) to marketing companies or paid
dating sites who will send you advertising materials.
- Worst
case scenario - the site may be fishing for your personal
details for identity theft. This is very uncommon
but you should be aware it is a possibility. Be suspicious
if they ask for information that they cannot possibly need,
such as your credit card or bank details.
As a rule, all you should have to give the site is your email,
and you can use a free email address so that you do not get
a lot of spam. Genuine free online dating services do not need
to know your financial information.
