The free dating war
Sunday, April 29th, 2012
What is the ‘free dating war’ you maybe asking yourself? Well, its a continued war that is going on behind the scenes of the internet from online dating sites all clamoring to get your attention. However, it is important for the many online singles to understand some of the tactics employed by these sites to lure you into signing up with them.
free dating war on the rise
The first important fact is that some of the dating websites will not be up-front with regards to the costs associated with signing up to their membership plan. Their initial aim is to get you signed up and show you the members they have available for you to contact them and when you want to message a profile that you like, they will throw up a membership plan page. These online companies will rarely offer you the opportunity to browse the profiles that is available on their site prior to signing up with them. Once you are signed up to them, they may send potential matches based on the information you provided to them when you registered on the site.
With regards to the dating sites that are free, one of the early adopters Jumpdates.com made available to the public a searchable database and even had a newsletter where people could receive matches without joining the site. However, ‘scraping’ tools used by inconspicuous websites designed to ‘lift’ profiles from the dating sites have forced many of them to close off the ‘public view’ of the membership database. You may have heard of a case last year when a dating company was accused of scraping hundreds of thousands of Facebook profiles.
There are primarily two types of online dating categories, paid subscriptions based sites and of course the free dating sites. Jumpdates has completed an extensive analysis and review of all these major sites including many that you probably have not heard of. Included in the unbiased reviews are some major international sites that have gone from strength to strength. You don’t have to be too concerned with this dating war that is going on behind the scenes. Your best bet is to review a handful of sites before carefully hand-picking the sites that you want to join and use.

Are the compatibility figures in online dating sites a myth or a fact?
Friday, April 27th, 2012
We have reported in earlier posts about the big deal that many dating sites make regarding the algorithms that they employ to find your best matches. Although, we at Jumpdates feel that these can be useful aids to some online daters to find compatible matches, we do not think that they are the ‘holy grail’ to your compatible match.
Are the compatibility figures in online dating sites a myth or a fact
We have covered many posts on the innate nature of human beings when it comes to relationships, marriage, gender differences and the many unique qualities that make all of us different. In addition to the complexity of each individual, add the unique relationship of the two individuals on top of this and we end up with an exceptionally intricate ‘union’ that cannot be determined through quantitative analysis alone.

We also know that human beings also have an innate ability to change within, so how does that ‘impact’ the relationship. Most likely, it will throw a curveball in the entire relationship in the eyes of your partner and the relationship will need adapting to. There are just too many factors for online dating sites to claim they have a perfect system with regards to compatibility, it’s just not possible.
What dating sites can work towards instead, is to promote and ‘open’ the eyes of members to greater possibilities. Provide them with the necessary tools for them to locate the partner they are looking for and let them decide what will work for them. Dating sites by all means will always provide an excellent platform to engage many singletons together to find their meaningful relationship and this will continue to grow for years to come. However, we should all be realistic to how far we can really pair up couples since this communion can only be really understood by the couples themselves.

Just like Cars there Should be Concept Online Dating Sites
Thursday, April 26th, 2012
The Wikipedia definition of the concept of a car is “Car made to showcase new styling and new technology often shown at motor shows. On the same grounds Jumpdates definition of the concept of online dating sites would be “website that showcases the future way of selecting, meeting and doing virtual date before a real date”.
Conceptualizing online dating sites would have features that let you enable avatar on using profile picture and let you select clothing and prepare for the date just like you usually do on any a date night. Concept cars always come up with new designs, features and more importantly something out of the box that no other car manufacturer offers.
Similarly how about having a feature where you and your match can go on a date to some famous places that symbolizes love like the “Taj Mahal” in India. Obviously every place you visit on conceptual online dating sites would be virtual but it be the perfect setting for your date rather than sitting in the same coffee shop or restaurant with different dating partners.
The responsibility of creating a conceptual online dating sites is definitely on big player of an online dating industry and for online singles to give enough input and ideas as to what they want to see in the future of online dating sites.
