Free vs Paying Online Dating Sites July 1, 2007

Online dating websites can be broadly categorized into free sites and pay sites. It goes againts 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.
