Free Online Dating Services – Free Date Sites

Are absolutely free dating sites worth the effort? Some think not. But why shell out money before testing free services?

I get it. I do love the idea of using an online profile to get through the basic matching – if the profile is sincere.

At one time, free sites provided little more than text. If you wanted video chat or secure messaging on the site, you had to pay for the technology, support, and bandwidth. No longer. A number of completely free online dating sites provide all the bells and whistles of their uptown cousins.

I’ll let you in on a secret…

The growth of free online dating services will some day replace many of the international dating agencies. Better than paid subscription sites. Better than free trials at heavily advertised agencies.

With free, as in freedom, comes accountability. Free dating sites are supported by advertising. They usually don’t have the manpower to weed out scammers and fake profiles as the paid sites do. Caveat emptor.

Consider the free online dating sites to be a training ground. Polish up your profile. Upload a few new photos. Learn to wade through the garbage to get to the gems. Even the pay sites have their share of scammers.

The evolution of free online dating sites in a weak economy is fine for me and you – especially as you would like to discern how to work the free online dating agencies for your benefit before setting up a profile and uploading your photo.

More and more singles are searching for perfection online. The woman of your dreams might live in Rio, Odessa, or Santa Domingo.

Why go online for love?

1. Affordable. Free is the ultimate ROI. If we chat and their is no chemistry, we have no awkward exit strategies. Click.

2. Numbers. Quantity over quality. Maybe. But even the pound has a few dogs that are not mutts. You will have to search a bit harder at the absolutely free online dating sites.
3. Profiles. Honest online profiles let one eliminate the incompatible matches before wasting time and money.

Honest profiles give you a basic bio before you squander a minute meeting for dinner.

Word of warning:

Keep your profile on the up-and-up. No 10 year old photos. No income boasts or puffing up your resume. You are looking for love, not a job.
Are absolutely free online dating sites for you, or just for trash?

If you are re-entering the dating arena after a bad marriage, free is the way to start. Make your mistakes here.

Free sites will do you no harm. Test the waters, then move to the pay sites once you know what you want – and don’t want.

Sites such as PlentyOfFish and Metrodate currently provide services that will cost you hundreds of dollars a year with others.
