Why pay?
Let me understand something. There are 100% completely free dating and networking sites on the web, yet people are still paying Eharmony.com, Match.com, True.com and the countless others to help them find friends, love or possibly even marriage. What some people have realized is that there are free dating sites on the web right now that are just as good as the paid ones and in some cases even better. Take Plentyoffish.com for example, plentyoffish started off in Canada but has recent become a player in the United States market. With millions of registered users, the likelihood of finding that special someone is just as good on plentyoffish as there are on Match.com. Plus it’s free! If you don’t like the feel of plentyoffish, users can try Bookofmatches.com. Bookofmatches offer real-time email, forums, questionnaires and all the other features would find on Eharmony or Match. Plus it’s free!
There are even free niche dating sites that cater to the specific interest. For example Sweetsecond.com is a new networking site that is geared towards to divorced singles. Sweetsecond allows for its registered users to post pictures, create a personal blog and has all the other features of a paid site. Oh yeah did I mention it is free.
These are just a few of the many free dating/networking sites that are on the web. Here is a list of some others:
Friendfinder.com
Connectingsingles.com
What are some of the drawbacks of using a free site as opposed to a paid site? Well there is the fact that you don’t pay anything, but if you consider that a drawback then you have some issues that need to be worked out.
So now the question that you have to ask yourself is. Why Pay?
