Free vs Paying Online Dating Sites

In the early days of online dating, all dating web sites were free. Reason? The Internet was seen more as a taboo, just the same way that very few people then would give their credit card number for online purchases.

As the Internet itself blossomed, so did online dating. Suddenly machine matchmaking was the talk of the town. Out of curiosity, people flocked to dating sites in droves to be matched with somebody. As Internet payment systems matured, the acceptance of dating online, and ultimately the willingness to pay for the service followed suit.

The dating industry enjoyed unprecedented growth over several years, before the growth peaked and leveled off.

After people's initial curiosity had waned, the tide began to turn against the effectiveness of the service. Many came out of it with hopes dashed. On any dating site, men outnumber women by a large margin. As a result, most women on dating sites do not care to respond to the large number of messages they are bombarded with on a daily basis. The consequence of this is that the trust people have in online dating as a whole is declining.

Online dating websites can be broadly categorized into free sites, and pay sites. It goes against all rational judgement that anybody would pay for anything that they could get for free elsewhere? But the answer lies in user loyalty, as opposed to free dating sites being somehow inferior. Most people do not bother to look for the latest trend in a service they have been paying for in a while, even if similar, or better quality services are now offered free of charge.

In a bid to edge out free dating sites, some people have argued that free dating sites attract spammers, since the spammers do not have to pay for the service. Unfortunately, this information is very misleading.

On the surface the statement may appear reasonable, but it is untrue. The fact is that it's free to post profiles on any dating website, be it a free, or a pay site. Therefore, all that a spammer needs to do on a pay site is post an attractive profile, or use the "Wink" feature to get paying members to contact him or her. There is absolutely no substance in the claim that free dating sites today are more susceptible to spamming than pay sites are.

If anything, paying sites are more likely to retain known spammers, as long as monthly dues are paid.

At the end of the day, the quality of a dating site is determined by the amount of care put into it by its operators, not by membership fees.

A particular free dating site, http://www.oasisoflove.com is aggressively clamping down on scamming/spamming to the point that hardly any scam letter can now get through the system.

This is revolutionary, since not even pay-based dating sites have put this much effort into combating this problem. The fact is that pay sites have reason not to make an effort, since such action would decrease the proportion of paying members.

If other dating sites would follow the footsteps of oasisoflove.com, the overall quality of dating online would be elevated.
