The Pros And The Cons Of Using A Free Online Dating Service

By: IPRWire Staff Writer Home | News-and-Society | Dating


Finding a truly free online dating service is a rare occasion. Indeed, most websites that cater to the needs of singles who are looking for love require that each member pay a monthly fee for access to the website. A lot of websites do offer the opportunity to post a profile free of charge, but access to the chat features, the IM features, or even the possibility to contact the members you find interesting, is limited only to paying members.

Though this might seem annoying to those who feel that they do not have the extra money to be able to subscribe to a singles website, the logic of charging the members is quite clear. Websites that charge a membership fee do so because they offer something to their members in return this is the same on the Internet as it is the rest of the world. There are only a handful of websites that operate entirely on funds gotten through the advertising on their websites, and most agree that these sites are annoying because there are so many advertisements.

If you do find a free online dating service, it is probably powered by advertisements, which means that there may be pop-ups on the site, and it certainly means that there are a lot of banners. Hopefully, it does not mean that they are selling the email addresses of their members in order to pay their operation costs. If you are joining a site that charges absolutely nothing, you should be on the look-out for things that are not quite right, like getting huge amounts of spam after you sign up. Websites that are in the business of selling email addresses should be avoided at all costs.

On the other hand, are the websites that charge their members a monthly fee really worth the hefty amount they charge? If you take a look at the number of members registered on the site, and multiply that number by their monthly fee, that is quite a lot of money that they are pulling in each month, so are these sites actually any better than the free online dating service that sold your email address? Unfortunately, neither type of website is perfect, there are good and bad things about each type of site.

If you are looking for a compromise between the two extremes of really expensive and totally without charge, one option to look at is http://www.meetamour.com. This website offers the same features as the expensive sites, but offers them at a much more reasonable price. They also guarantee that they are not in the business of selling email addresses, and your information is private to them. When it comes to finding the middle ground, Meet Amour's website just might be the answer you are looking for.
