SinglesNet

singlesnet online dating
Singlesnet.com in widely know in the online dating world. If you have not run into them at least a couple times, you haven’t been looking for online dating sites. They have experienced tremendous growth over the last couple of years. I know they used to promote very heavily on Myspace and some other sites which contributed to their recent success. Let’s go throught their site and see what they have to offer and at what price.

You will need to signup with an email address of course. They also have a verification on the first signup page which lets you know that they might have had problems with fake advertisement ads being posted. You are asked pretty standard questions about yourself, and then asked if you would consider dating someone who had put the opposite of your response. Then you upload your picture and you are on your way to meeting singles!

There seem to be a lot of users on this site. I’ve reviewed many sites and there user numbers are up there. I posted a male ad in a pretty populated area, and there are 500 matches intantly. As a male member you are able to “Send Flirts” without paying, but if you would like to email other members, you’ll need to signup as a paying member. The payment options are as follows.

Online Dating vs The Bar Scene

Posted by admin On January - 27 - 2008

crowded bar

Meeting people can be challenging. Especially in today’s busy world where the average young professional works 45+ hours per week. Traditionally you had a couple options. One was to go out to the bars and try to meet other singles. The other was to be fixed up by a friend and most likely meet at a bar as well. Online dating eleviates some of the pressure to get out and put yourself out there. You can sit in the comfort of your own home, office, or coffeeshop and surf the web for a likely candidate. But which method is more effective? Can you really find what you’re looking for on a website? There seem to be plenty of advertisements containing testimonials of singles meeting that perfect someone on a dating site. And people still do seem to go out on the weekends looking to find someone. Let’s just compare some of the benefits of each and with that information each person can decide what they think about the different dating options in the internet age.

The bar scene has been popular ever since alcohol was invented. And I imagine it will stay that way until it’s illegal. Now I know that not everyone at a bar is single or even looking for someone. But it is pretty common for bar or club patrons to be on the prowl for a hookup, relationship, or new friendship. Depending upon what city you live in, the bar scene could be extremely popular with endless options and new faces, or about as fun as going to Applebee’s and having a couple beers. Cities like Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Austin obviously have a lot more to offer when it comes to nightlife. I’m sure you’ve seen rankings for Top Cities for Singles. If you want to go to the hottest places with the most attractive people, it’s going to cost you. Cover charges can range from $0-$50 depending on the night and event. A sports bar will most likely not have a cover charge. A popular club on a Friday night with a major DJ could run you $50 just to walk in the door. So now that you’re in you can now start to mingle, have a few drinks, and hopefully meet some singles. Read the rest of this entry »

Online Dating Wave

Posted by admin On January - 25 - 2008

internet dating

It’s hard to go a day anymore without hearing the phrase, “Online Dating.” It’s everywhere. TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, and of course the internet all seem to be promoting websites designed to help people find dates, sex, or a long-term companions. Why are these sites so popular? Who uses them? Where is the world of online dating headed? All these questions will be answered or at least discussed.

Before the internet and the booming popular of online dating sites, people had few options in how they could find potential candidates for relationships and dating. The traditional way would be to meet someone face-to-face and ask them out, or simply introduce yourself. Or, there were personals sections of the newspaper which was usually perceived as a very desperate attempt at finding someone. Another option which is still relatively popular today is a dating agency. These companies have a database of individuals with personality profiles that they can match with others that might be of interest. This option is probably the most expensive, and you still have the dreaded personal embarrassment of walking in the door of one of these agencies and admitting that you are unable to find what you are looking for without professional help.

This takes us to the World Wide Web. The internet takes away much of the humiliation and vitually all chances of being recognized by peers. You are able to create your own personal ad that doesn’t ever require a picture most times. You also don’t have to use your real name, or a name remotely similar to yours. You can search for people in any city in the country. But I would have to say, the biggest advantage of online dating is you are not faced with such personal rejection that you may run into when approaching someone at a bar. Nobody but the 2 of you know when you send a message over the internet. You can’t here someone laugh at your cheesy pickup lines through the computer. And you can contact many, many people in a very short period of time. These are just some of the reasons why internet dating has become so popular. Read the rest of this entry »

JustSayHi

Posted by admin On January - 22 - 2008

free online dating justsayhi.com

I know we’ve previously gone through the online dating site JustSayHi.com, but I wanted to check it out again and see if there had been any changes go a little more in depth to searching for singles on the site.

When I first checked out JustSayHi, I posted an ad pretty quickly and noticed it was a 100% free online dating site. This is still true and I doubt that it will ever change. This is a very clean site. No nude pics, or live sex cams or anything like that here. I would describe JustSayHi as a bridge between sites like Facebook and Match.com or something. Its a very low key introduction to the online dating world which I like. This way, timid singles can have a low pressure site to start testing the waters on and see what it’s like to meet people online for dating purposes.

The first day I joined I sent a messge to 1 girl and pretty quickly got a legit response. Not a bs message or anything like that. So today I want to explore a little more on JustSayHi and see if there seem to be more members, features, or anthing else that we should be aware of.

I remember there being a pretty good number of people on the site last time. So I just searched for females with 50 miles of my ad in a medium sized city in the midwest. I am pretty surprised with the number of responses it returned. I used the gallery view which displays 30 ads per page. The search returned 17 pages. Thats 210 within 50 miles which I would have to say isn’t too bad coming from the midwest. Looks like JustSayHi has gotten a few more online daters since the last check up.

Adult Match Doctor

adult dating site adultmatchdoctor.com

AdultMatchDoctor.com has been in the adult dating world for a little while so I thought we should take a look. One their homepage I noticed a slogan. It says, “100% free to contact, flirt, connect, and get laid!” So I want to check it out and see how true that statement is as far being a Free Dating Site . First, lets go through the ad posting process and see what it entails.

After the very first page, you have a 5-step post to complete your adult dating ad. The 5 steps are as follows.

  1. Sign-Up Info
  2. Profile
  3. Essays – 21 essay parts
  4. Ideal Match
  5. My Photos

Notice the 21 parts to the essays page!!!! You do not have to fill out all of them, but if you are going to create a profile here, you probably should go ahead and fill it out completely. That section will definitely take you the longest. Read the rest of this entry »

True

Posted by admin On January - 19 - 2008

true.com online dating website

It’s time to review True.com. True came on to the online dating scene a few years ago. You used to see a lot of advertisements for their site on places like Myspace, but they have slowed down with their banners it seems. Now they rank very high on google for “online dating” and pay to be a featured search result most times. Lets take a closer look at the site, and what they have to offer their members or surfers who are considering making a dating profile.

As usual, when checking out a dating site I like to go throught the process of creating a free profile. If you are more interested in seeing what features are offered and traffic rankings, jump down a few paragraphs. When you click “Join Now” they want you to search first, and see all the results that come up for your specific location. Once you get the results page, a pop-up will ask you to create your profile. The first page is not bad at all. Very standard fields to fill out. To keep you motivated to fill out all 5 pages, in the top right corner, they’ll tell you how many matches they have found so far based on your profile. Mine said they found over 30,000 so far. Must be a large site.

By the second page, I had lost 4,000 matches. The next page goes over your physical appearence and what your ideal matches physical appearence. Again, pretty basic questions that you would expect to answer on every dating site you encounter. After filling out the second page, I had lost 6,000 more matches and I wasn’t being too particular. The next page goes into your nationality and religion and what your matches should be. Again, I wan’t too particular, but did somehow lose 16,000 matches which brings me down to 4,000. Some people must be pretty particular about nationality and religion.

The next page is about your education, career, income, and social habits. At first, 5 pages for an online dating ad seemed to be on the high side, but each page pretty much only has 2 questions on it about you and then corresponding questions for the person you are looking for. After that last page, I was down to 865 matches. Now we are to the last of the 5 pages. The only questions on this page are if you have ever been married, do you have kids, and do you want kids.

Now the profile we just setup is free. After creating it, you are prompted to enter your credit card information to be able to start your full free 7 day trial. This means that without entering your credit care, you are unable to email and chat with other members. You can still read mail that you may get, but you cannot reply. The only things you can do without entering your credit card are view other profiles, and send winks. Now since the first 7 days are free, you really dont have anything to lose if you do try it out. But you have to remeber to cancel if you are unsatisfied and do not want to be charged monthly for using True.com. Read the rest of this entry »

IwantU

Free Dating Profile!!!

iwantu.com adult dating website

Iwantu.com has another great feature that I haven’t heard much about. That feature is their online magazine. IwantU allows any internet sufer access to their articles without having to signup for their dating site. If you want to leave comments or chat about the articles you’ve read, you’ll need to join.

I recently checked out some of the articles and thought they were pretty good. There are a lot of helpful tips for adult dating internet users. Here are some of the article titles.Planning a night long sex session

  • Planning a Night Long Sex Session
  • Is it Love of Lust?
  • The 10 Best Bedroom Tricks Know to Man

As a non-member you only get access to the 3 front page articles. You can look at a section called “Aphrodite Advice” without joining. Here members of IwantU get to ask relationship, sex, or any kind of questions and get great feedback for free.

The only other feature you’ll get access to without joining is the daily horoscopes. I personally do not believe in them but they can be fun to read and talk about. IwantU’s Online Magazine has some pretty cool stuff on there even if you get limited access. Joining for free might be worth it if you like the magazine and would like to read more.

Fling

fling.com, fling, adult dating

Fling Adult and Cam Dating is doing well as usual. Just thought it was time to check back up on this site and see how things are going. One thing is for sure, they are very good at getting your attention with provocative banners. I think they have some of the best banners and promotional material of all adult dating sites. But that’s always been true. What about site changes?

With the speed of internet and computers getting faster every day, webcams are beginning to be more feasible for online daters and internet users everywhere. And what a better way to “interview” someone online than by seeing them live of camera.

In the old days of online dating, you had to trust that the pictures someone was sending you or had on their profile was current. Most likely, they have a really good photo from who knows when that they like to pass on as themself. Not anymore. With Fling’s awesome webcam services, you can get an in-depth, up-close preview of what someone is all about. You can have a lot more fun this way also.

So for all of you doing the adult dating thing online, Fling should be at least one place you check out. And if you have a webcam you should go there directly after reading this. Oh yeah, one more thing. Fling offers free webcam shows all the time to free members. You won’t find features like that at very many sites.

Perfect Match

Posted by admin On January - 15 - 2008

perfectmatch.com online dating

Interested in making personal dating profile on PerfectMatch?

I had heard a little about it so I made one. Here is a little info on the sing up process…….

Not a ton about your physical appearance besides the normal questions. That’s pretty much all there is to the first page. On the second page, you are asked to go over a lot of true/false questions about yourself. Followed by some basic personality charateristics that highlight your pros and cons. Perfect Match goes through your religious practices and beliefs a tab more in-depth than most online dating sites.

After you fill out what you are all about, you select traits and geographical characteristics that are appealing to you when looking for in your ideal match. Even after those pages there are more true/false to come. The next set is geared towards your life and livestyle. This goes into intimate encounters, family and friends, jealousy, punctuality, children, music, hobbies, social habits, financial habits, etc.

After you have filled out the first main 4 sections, the last and most significant is still ahead. This is what they call the “Duet Analysis.” This includes 8 pages of questions geared at finding out as much about you as possible so that Perfect Match can find the perfect person for you. The categories of questions in this section are:

  • Romantic Impulsivity
  • Personal Energy
  • Outlook
  • Predictibility
  • Flexibility
  • Decision Making Style
  • Emotionality
  • Self-nurturing

After all the questions are filled out, you get an online dating personality profile. Here is what mine was(some questions answered without reading). Read the rest of this entry »

Webs Cutest

Posted by admin On January - 14 - 2008

webscutest.com cam dating website

This is a review of WebsCutest.com. This is an adult site for sure. On their initial signup screen, their terms and conditions are tied to “Free Porn-Adult Movies” which should tell you something right off the bat.

You really do have a 1 step post to make your ad. Your ad is created within about 1 minute. If you want to uploada picture, or add more content, you have to do that after your initial setup. This site feels like adultspace.com but is not the same. They have the same thing going on though. It’s very much like an attempt to create an adult myspace. There are tons of things to do on this dating site though. To list a few.

  • Gallery
  • Browse Personals
  • Blogs/Forums
  • Rate Pics
  • Join Groups
  • Post Classifieds
  • Adult Webcams
  • Free Video Chat
  • Buy Toys/Videos

There are lots of areas on this dating site that ask you to buy porn movies. At times, this site definitely feels as if its main goal is to promote several porn sites and a few adult dating site. The adult dating sites they tend to promote are Fling, Amateur Match, and Adult Friend Finder. You can find a lot of links to those sites here.

The best way to put it I guess would be to say that its an adult community with an adult dating option. This site has a lot more going on than just adult dating and it looks to be a little bit low in their product line.

As always I like to look at their traffic rankings on Alexa. Here is a short traffic breakdown of WebsCutest.

  • Global: 61,899
  • US: 12,475

Not the best out there, but not terrible as well.
