Free Dating Sites – Should I pay for online dating?

The Editor — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 12:29:57 +0000

There are some persuasive points made for both business models but we at Best UK Dating Sites still favour the subscription approach.

You’re probably thinking, “Why? Why pay for something that I can get for free?”

There are several reasons why we think fee based dating sites win over free dating sites. It’s not that there are some advantages to using the free sites but on balance we believe online daters are better off using sites that make a small charge for their matchmaking services.

1. It filters out some of the dross and the people who are not serious about starting a new relationship. Of course, there are those who aren’t looking for romance nor anything serious but they too can benefit by using sites that require a fee for full membership.

2. Users of free dating sites often report that their mailboxes quickly fill with spam and the advances from totally unsuitable partners. Do you really want more spam and to have to filter out 95% of the messages you receive? With a fee based site you will receive far less spam and attenttion from fraudsters.

3. Once a member has paid a fee there’s a feeling of committment (“I’ve paid for it so I might as well make good use of it”) and a tendency to explore the site in detail and make use of all its functions i.e. to get their money’s worth. Full members tend to be a bit more proactive and thorough in their approach.

4. Fee based sites enable the owners to reinvest the income in improvements, marketing and promotion. This is especially true of niche dating sites which are becoming more popular as people seek to join sites in which they are going to find others with similar interests, hobbies and professions. These sites contain less members than the more general sites but why join a site in which only a small percentage of the members are a likely match for you?

5. People instinctively associate value with sites that charge for their services. When you’re offered something for free don’t you sometimes feel like there’s a catch? Maybe with free online dating sites it’s the amount of advertising you’re exposed to as you navigate around the site.

6. Do you really want to meet people who aren’t prepared to fork out the cost of a cup of coffee a day as they set about the task of finding a new partner? Isn’t it just possible that they are likely to waste your time? Studies have shown that people who pay a subscription to a dating site spend more time using it than those using free dating sites.

Stick with your favourite fee based online dating site and you’ll be on the mailing list ready to received news of special offers, free weekends, and other advantages for regular subscribers.

BmyLUV – International Friends

The Editor — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 07:43:57 +0000

Dating sites come and go but you can usually tell a lot about the site (e.g. whether or not any effort has gone into it) by its design. So it’s refreshing to see sites with a unique stamp and a format that shows it to be something that someone has put some effort into building. Bmyluv.co.uk is one such site. The graphics may not be to everyone’s taste but the ‘no frills’ approach is so much more appealing than the many sites that bamboozle the visitor with fancy graphics and slow loading pages laden down with odd gimmicks and scripts. The site has a UK and a USA version and is powered by White Label Dating’s vast and ever growing database so there’s plenty of scope here for the online dater and with free and unlimited (no time limit) free membership you’ve nothing to lose by giving this one a try.

My UK Date

The Editor — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 12:43:43 +0000

My UK Date is another Easy Date website. The unique selling point of this site is that it is a totally free dating site. You simply register with some basic details and within minutes you can start messaging other members. You’ll need to complete your own profile of course, and it’s always best to upload at least one good photo, if not two or three. For those who have opted to add their mobile phone numbers to their profiles there’s text messaging (the phone numbers are kept hidden), and even webcam dating if you’re feeling bold and want to launch straight in to some one to one flirtation. As it’s a free dating website there’s quite a bit of advertising in the margins but most of these adverts are for other sites within the EasyDate network. If you’ve never tried online dating before then this would be a good place to start as you can get the hang of it without parting with any money. Some say you get what you pay for so don’t be deterred from subscribing to other sites because they may have more features and better support, but give this one a go first as you’ve got nothing to lose.

Midsummer’s Eve

The Midsummer’s Eve site has been online since 1999 and promotes friendship, dating, and romance. What’s more, this is another totally free dating website. The homepage leaves you in no doubt that the site offers free messaging and free access to the events that they organise. There’s a long list of success stories, some of which have photos showing the happy couples. Although it is a free dating site there is a Platinum membership option for those looking for a personalised service to help them find a partner or in finding new friends. There are personal assistants dotted around the UK and if you opt for this service they will set up a meeting with one of them. You’ll then be given all the support you need to compose a professional looking profile. You will have access to an unlimited number of introductions with the assurance that all members on the scheme are interviewed and vetted. In this way Midsummer’s Eve is both a free dating site and a professional introduction agency.
