Online Dating Services

Wednesday, May 21, 2008



One in every four internet users is signed up on at least one online dating service. That's the bold claim made in the introduction to Dating Services which provides a free guide to such sites. Whatever the percentage of Internet users who are actively participating in online dating sites it certainly is a growing number as internet dating becomes an increasingly commonplace way of meeting a match.

In response to this Dating Services is one of those sites to emerge which offers a guide to the sites and some general advice about internet dating.

The advice given by Dating Services includes some basic tips such as taking precautions to ensure your safety, giving out your personal details and being sceptical about what people tell you about themselves.

From there it goes into more detail about what to look for in a site when you are thinking of joining one, such as the age profile of the members, the size of the membership and costs.

Dating Services is an interesting read and clearly some effort has been made to compile the information and put it all together in the one site. Presumably the pay-off for the owners is when people join the dating sites being reviewed using their affiliate links. It is probably for this reason that it tends to be a little overly dismissive of the free as opposed to the subscription dating sites.

The Guide is well put together and, while it doesn't include any groundbreaking news, it does cover all the basic points that anyone looking to join an internet dating site might want to consider.
