POF — -- — I found most women to be shooting for the long shot, someone out of their league. Most of the profiles were riddled with BS and pretention. There was no chance they could live up to their self description. I DON"T BELIEVE IT. — — I would suspect many male profiles were the same as well. — — POF - Oversell, under deliver — -- — Quite a few women were specifically looking for men younger than themselves. — There's more. — — Summary: — I have never seen such a large collection of women mired neck deep in a… read full review »

Was on here once. Signed up for a "Free" trial. After 3 days I forgot to cancel it, they charged me $50. I complained. To their credit, they gave me the money back. So that's good. — — What's bad is that they charge to view emails. Any site that does that is immediately shady, because what many, if not most of them then do is have their employees send you fake emails to entice you to join. — — Mate1 did this about a dozen times a day. I know my value on the dating market, and I know how often real women actually contact me,… read full review »

I've paid for 2 months of Match, years ago. The women there are probably the highest class of all the sites, but that's not necessarily a good thing. — — It's really the only dating site that is "mainstream approved." That is, your non-internet dating friends have all heard of Match.com and it's ok that you're on it. Unlike, say, Friendfinder or Alt.com. — — Unfortunately if you're not a middle-class WASP looking for your soul mate, this means you're SOL. All the women there fit the above description, or aspire to. — —… read full review »

Back in the day (2003-2004), Lavalife was the place to be. Decent number of women and an "intimate encounters" section to spice up the site. — — You paid for chits that you spent on sending emails. You could get in for $9.99 and those chits would last forever if you didn't use 'em. — — I got laid like a rockstar there and had a couple of LTRs as well. — — But these days they changed to a subscription-based deal, and you have to subscribe to even READ emails others have sent you. Needless to say, the user population has dropped… read full review »

I've gotten laid by a few slightly below-average women here. The nice thing is that most women aren't looking for love, they want to have sex. Right now. So that's good. Cons are that most women are EITHER 40-something divorcees with a kid and a rapidly sagging body, OR younger hotties but with 9000 men pursuing them. — — Unless you're very attractive you won't find much luck. Even if you are attractive you'll only have a little luck, since there are about 20 men for each woman. — — So it's OK. It's gotten me laid a few times,… read full review »

I've hooked up with several average-looking women from Plenty of Fish. Keep in mind that it's not like the "intimate encounters" type sites where you can let women know you just want a hookup. Here, you have to make 'em believe you're looking for more. — — It seems all the guys are looking for sex and the VAST majority of women are looking for long-term, even when they say they aren't. — — In that way it's not as fulfilling as the sex-only sites, because there's a certain level of dishonesty. Everybody's BSing each other.. but how is that different… read full review »

True.com wants you to think they are a great dating service. They tease you by showing you nice pictures of hot guys who may not even exist. And to top it all off just remember nothing is free. You must pay for a membership to even be able to correspond with anyone. My words of advice- Singlesnet.com is the best. Stay away from… read full review »

This website needs to be updated to allow gay people to join. It is very easy to navigate and I like the layout best. However, when I was a member I did not meet any single gay men looking for a relationship. They were usually married or attached. So if you are seriously looking for a healthy gay relationship this website is not the one, at least yet. Maybe they will make changes in the future; especially because California and Massachusetts now have legalized same sex marriage! Stay… read full review »

It has been a few years since I 'did the internet dating thing'. In general, I htink it is a very bad idea. Most of the people on these sites misrepresent themselves and are ALWAYS looking for something better. Even if you do happen to meet someone you like, and they like you, it doesn't seem to last. There's always the thought in the back of your mind saying 'hey, i found this one, but maybe there's someone even better' It can be an ego boost for the short term, but it is not a healthy… read full review »

All this system is Revenue stream to the Site Owner, There is NO "Contact Me" when you want to ask questions. If you GET a Reply... YOU are NOT able to Reply ... Back to the Response at All... It rejects any "Reply" responses from the "supposed" Customer Service... Revenue, Revenue, Revenue... Pay for a Year... No refunds are possible ALSO, so what good is it. Yes it is an Internet dating Service but for WHOM? there is NO guarantee if there is NO refund or Guarantee... They people are more phony than REAL, there is NO truth to this… read full review »

After getting divorced and looking for a place to find "quality" matches, I signed up for eharmony. I paid the 1st month only to receive matches that were several hours away from my location. After my first month and plan to cancel, they called me and gave me the deal of 3 months for 1 month price. Like a sucker.. I took them up on it. I did not find anyone that was compatible with me, lived near me or had the same goals and such as I did. I would suggest that you use another site if you are really looking for someone. — — As a side note... my husband (who I met through another… read full review »

After getting a divorce and moving back to my home town, where all my friends had moved on.. I was looking for some single people to just hang out with. I had gotten on other sites, but the people on there seemed to be after one thing, and not the same thing I was looking for. I met a few people here and talked online. I started talking to one guy and we met, we hit it off, and now we are married.. very happily :) I would recommed it for anyone that is looking for friends and possibly a relationship.… read full review »

Match.com is a mixed bag of goodies! It's like a grab bag, and you really don't know what your going to get. I've dating about 8 women off of there, and I can honestly say that only two were relatively normal. The other's were wacked out chicks with zero common sense. These individuals made it very obvious why they were still single. Note the following: A) They used an outdated pic which hid how fat they were. B) They don't know how to act or what to ask. C) They are totally selfish. D) They have sooo much baggage… read full review »

Eharmony was great for me. I had moved back from college into a new job and the social life just wasn't the same. I was tired of meeting a girl out at the bars or nightclubs so i said why not sign up for 3 months. So i did and instantly i had matches and started communicating. I have gone on many dates with a variety of girls from the sight. And right now i am dating this girl that i met on there 4 months ago and we are still going on strong. All i have to say is be truthful if you say something about yourself that isn't you, you will be match up with… read full review »
