Still Using Robots to Find Dates…Is it the Only Way?
Sunday, March 11th, 2012
Do you wait for free online dating sites to send you the best matches and then you go about contacting them for a date? There is nothing wrong in doing this, but this shows that you are not so keen in finding your dating partner and would rather have a robotic match that only matches you by age, location and a few other interests.
Still Using Robots to Find Dates...Is it the Only Way
Top dating sites like eHarmony, Match.com and a few others charge online singles for their dating profile as they work on a complex matching system, however leading free online dating sites like PlentyOfFish (pof), Datehookup, Jumpdates and others give online singles the power to choose their dating partner according to their own individual needs.
This is not to discourage you from joining any paid dating sites, but robotic matches has its limitation and you should be aware of this. It will only perform for you what it was programmed to do based on a few rules of matching criteria found in the profiles. Just to give you an example, there may be a profile that you come across that doesn’t fit the normal criteria that you have stated in your profile, in which case the matching robot would have missed that profile altogether. This is why it is very important for you to do some of the searching yourself and decide what criteria work best for you.
Free online dating sites provides you with these kind of choices and their searching features help you to set the kind of match you are looking and give you the flexibility and scope to widen your search for pinpointing that ideal partner you are looking for.

Internet Penetration - Inversely proportional to Growth of Free Internet Dating Sites in USA
Saturday, March 10th, 2012
Today 11 March 2012 we celebrate the 136th anniversary when the first bi-directional phone call was made in what would be classed as the biggest invention of the 19th century. ARPANET (Project in U.S. Defense) in 1960 used this invention to create the communication medium for computers that ultimately evolved as the internet that we know today.
This makes online dating singles think that being the first nation of the internet, it is also the fastest in the U.S. Not true!!
USA is ranked as the 15th nation worldwide in terms of the speed of internet available to the public. Hard to believe, yet it’s true, but popularity of free internet dating sites that depends on this very public network has USA claiming the no. 1 spot as compared to other developed countries.
In terms of penetration of the internet, if we look at the three years data, in 2007 almost 8.5 million people opted for broadband connection which saw a downfall in 2008 where 5.4 million new users were added. In 2009, this figure dropped again by 1%. This was the time when USA was going through a major financial recession and the same time when free dating sites saw a rise in the user base by 1%. Exactly the opposite!
This inverse proportion of internet and free internet dating sites will be a good topic for pundits of research companies. But, for free dating sites it is a good sign which shows that this business is clearly recession proof.

Caution!! Don’t Write an Autobiography on free dating sites 2012
Saturday, March 10th, 2012
Writing a well descriptive online dating profile attracts singles towards you, but at the same time you should not write an autobiography on free dating sites that others will be to bored and uninterested. Here are top reasons to write compelling short and sweet online dating profiles –
Caution!! Don't Write an Autobiography on free dating sites 2012
• Writing long and boring profile can quickly kill interest of online singles as no one wants to read a life’s history unless of course you are superstar or a famous celebrity.

• The “about me” section is also not the place to write your autobiography either. Describe in a short sentence that tells others right away of what kind of a person you are and something that is unique to you as an individual. For example “I love social gathering, since I like to know about people’s cultures and their way of thinking”.
• Free dating sites give you the opportunity to express yourself in the kind of matches you are looking for. No one is perfect, so asking for all the best traits in the other person can be a big turn off for your profile.
Certainly we don’t want to discourage you from opening yourself up and writing your online dating profile on free dating sites. On the other hand you do not want to write too little as this will convey to someone that he/she is too busy in life and would also have no time for you. Try to strike a good balance of answering all the questions but keeping it short and to the point. Make use of line breaks between each point so it reads better and do not use all CAPS when writing sentences.

Facebook and Free Dating Sites in USA Poles Apart
Friday, March 9th, 2012
Social networking site Facebook has become the number one place for all age groups to join a social network, but a proportionally large number of online singles in the USA make a common mistake of looking for their dating partner on these networks rather than the free dating sites.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong in trying your luck at different various places, but you may be wasting your valuable time in choosing the wrong medium. “How can one of the biggest social network be the wrong medium for finding other online singles”, you say. Here, I will attempt to answer your question with some examples.
Real life scenario – Online singles signup to free dating sites in the USA to find dating partners to go out on a date, spend quality time with each other and if they find they are a good match, they ultimately marry. The point here is that both of them are unknown to each other before and have first initiated the contact on one of the major free dating sites. However, on Facebook you cannot send messages to unknown persons and if you start sending friend request to anyone that takes your fancy, then your profile is at risk of getting banned for a few hours which can also lead to the profile termination. This is the biggest setback for online singles on Facebook. Although Facebook is a social network, their ultimate aim is to bring friends, relatives etc. together within a social group. You can ultimately make contacts through friends of friends and find singles that way, but there is no guarantee that they are single and looking. By the way, Facebook is an incredibly easy way for singles to share their Facebook ids without having to remember their complicated email or tel. nos.
On the other hand, free dating sites have been designed from the bottom up to promote online singles activity and there is no confusion at all for singles to contact each other. There is a high probability of finding suitable dates by sending unlimited messages and getting to know each other before you decide to go out.

Five Essential Things you need to know about Free Dating Sites
Thursday, March 8th, 2012
Online love has blossomed because of the internet and more and more singles are finding love online through many of the dating websites including free dating sites. Here we provide five essential things to note when you sign up for a dating website and get you into this game as fast as possible.
Top Five Essential reaon to join free dating site
1. Look for a mobile dating app. that the free dating sites offer. If it does, you can be rest assured that the guys behind the site have not only spent good money in developing the app. but they will also most likely have a good number of people signed up to their website. After all who would want to join a free dating site just to talk to the webmaster.
2. Make sure there are no catches ie. read between the dotted line, and make sure there are no fees or charges for using the website. After all free dating sites should be exactly that, FREE.
3. Do a search for free dating sites on various search engines and see what turns up. Most likely Google will have done the hard work for you in locating genuine free dating sites. Type search terms such as ‘100% free dating sites’, ‘top free dating sites’ etc.
4. Once you are signed up to a free dating site, your task has only just begun. Make sure you have good photos of yourself and not just one. Become familiar with the search engine of the free dating site so that you can narrow down your searches to people you are looking for. Then happily start messaging away!
5. I mention this point to many people in all walks of life. Don’t give up too easily, persistence will pay off. Pictures can be deceptive, so just don’t rely on this all the time, use your killer instinct to narrow down your choices and just message away, but make it original. What do you have to lose on free dating sites anyway, right!
