UK Singles Connection
Jan 14th
UK Singles Connection is a dating website run by the American company Spark Networks Inc. They have an extensive network of dating websites in the USA and this is their offering for residents of the United Kingdom. The preview function allows you to search for members by gender, age range, and zip code, but when tested with a postal code of SW11 (London) this produced results from all over the world. A few other tests using UK post codes produced similarly diverse results, so presumably the search by zip code only works internationally. However, leave out the post code and you will find plenty of results of your chosen gender and age range in the UK. The features and functions include private messaging, instant messaging, chat rooms, and public forums, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied and amused. The price for a monthly subscription is a very reasonable £6.99. Their tag line is, “We bring singles together.”
Single Solution
Jan 14th
The Singelsolution.com site combines online dating with social events for singles. The website homepage automatically updates itself every few seconds with a random selection of profiles of three men and three women, and you can view the full profile of each without registering yourself. Their speed dating events take place in most of the larger UK towns and cities and when we checked there were plenty of events arranged for the next few months. They started their first events in 2002 so they have plenty of experience to draw upon. The online dating website Premium Plus membership allows members to send ‘reply paid’ messages to members who are not subscribers, so even non-paying members can reply to messages of this type. As well as speed dating parties open to anyone they also arrange Asian Hindu and Sikh dating events and claim to have one of the largest databases of single Asian professionals in the UK.
Plenty More Fish
Jan 14th
Plentymorefish.com began in 2002 as a free dating site and for several years it operated as such until it had attracted a large and loyal following. However, the growing number of fake or dubious profiles meant that eventually the decided to introduce subscriptions in order to cover the increasing cost of checking profiles and maintaining the site’s integrity. Far from losing them business this decision has increased their fan base and they have gone from strength to strength. They have three ‘ponds’ to offer their members; the Single Pond (general dating), the Silver Pond (for the over forties), and the Naughty Pond (for the broad minded adults). There are also international dating sections covering America, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Plentymorefish.com (not be confused with Plentyoffish.com) have combined their energies with World Dating Partners and White Label Dating to create and network of online dating websites that cater for all ages, genders, and sexual orientation in the six most populated countries in the English speaking world.
