Web Date Info

Big news in the internet dating world. Adultfriendfinder has been bought for $500 million. And not just by anybody. By Penthouse. What does this mean? Nobody really knows, but it will definitley change the site around a bit I’m sure. As the largest dating site on the internet for quite some time, AFF has built up quite a reputation for themselves. And it looks like a major porn magazine noticed and thinks they can make some money from it. AFF stated that they have some 1.2 million members!!! That’s a ton. I’m sure Penthouse will be heavily pushing its magazine on the dating giant’s current members. Another question is what will happen to the current affiliates that promote the adult dating site? As of right now, their payout options are not the highest, but the do have some great banners and promotional material for their webmasters to use. As far as an income standpoint, if Penthouse can keep this dating site going for a few years, it will definitely pay for its investment and then some. I guess the owners have made enough money and can never have to think about work again after making this sale.

I have to say that I am impressed by Fling . They have quite few options for free members than most dating sites. You actually dont even have to be a member to be able to use all of their services. You can browse a lot of profiles and even get in on a Video Chat without even signing up. You are just accessing it as a guest. Now it is not a free one-on-one chat, but the girl is actually there. Not just a fake chick with pre-written responses. There a lot more options once you are inside after signing up as a free member. If you really do want to be able to use all the features of this very ADULT site, you will eventually need to become a paying member. If you look on the message boards of existing users, you will see some complaints from all sorts of things so I would read those just to see what they are talking about.

I’ll say it again that this is an adult dating site. So if you want something clean and geared towards marriage, I wouldn’t waste your time here. At Fling you are pretty much going to find naked pics of people looking to hookup or exchange some x-rated pictures with a little video chat.

I have noticed that there all lot of different types of dating sites out there. I pretty much put them into two categories. Adult dating or Online dating. I classify sites as adult dating because of the content, url, and what the members are looking for. So, on an adult dating site you would see naked pictures of the members, maybe a suggestive url such as hornymatches.com, and the members will most likely all have the options checked that suggest they are looking for sex, flings, threesomes and things like that.

Now for the online dating sites, I am classifying them as “clean” sites. Sites that do not have naked pictures and sometimes not even sexually suggestive pictures. A good example is match.com. They are about as clean as it gets. People on there do not even have the option to check boxes that say they are looking for sexual encounters or to be tied up. They are looking for friendship, long-term relationships, and so forth.

Now everyone knows that on both types of dating sites, all the members want to hookup at some point. It’s just that on one site thats all they want mostly, and the others want the relationship stuff as well. So you just have to look at the two and decide what you are really trying to get out of the site. Hookups with no phone calls the next day, or dinner and a movie and hopefully a relationship builds out of it???

I know one bonus is when sites let users use webcams for free. Some site allow it for women and not men, and some dont allow it at all without paying. I would think that would be a huge selling point. I am pretty sure that fling.com allows all users to tune in. As far as singlesnet.com, i’m pretty sure they dont even have that feature. AFF obviously had it and I’m also pretty sure that they charge quite a bit for the service. Hope that was helpful.
