Free Dating Websites Can Be a Thorn in the Side for Match and eHarmony
Saturday, April 14th, 2012
We have all more or less taken for granted the top subscriptions dating sites such as Match.com and Eharmony.com as it towers over all other paid dating sites. Their formidable positions only increases with time as they re-inject capital back into aggressive marketing strategies. You will probably have seen many of the TV advertisements coming from these two top dating sites. However, there are some websites that will always be a thorn in the side for the top dating sites and they come in the shape of free dating websites.
Free dating websites can be considered a mixed bag for the top dating sites since they are effectively competing for the same user. Their presence was felt when OkCupid, another free dating site that came up rapidly in the ranks to command a top 200 position of the most visited sites in the US. Match.com spent no time in acquiring OkCupid in early 2011 for a princely sum of $50 million dollars. Here is the news snippet from techcrunch.com.
Match.com Acquires Online Dating Site OkCupid For $50M In Cash
We can argue whether the acquisition by Match was in part to dampen the market for free dating websites or whether there were genuine reasons to translate the profiles to their paid system. Whatever the reason, the free dating websites continue to grow in strength and this is confirmed by the many online singles joining these sites on a daily basis. Only time will tell how these two behemoths will share this vast marketing space for online singles. What we do know is that this market is continuing to grow at an unprecedented rate fueled by the numerous internet devices such as smartphones, tablets finding their way into the hands of many.

Online Singles Search Quality of Their Parents on Free Dating Websites
Friday, April 13th, 2012
Have you wondered why singles breakup without any convincing reasons and keep browsing dating profiles on free dating websites to find their perfect match. Benjamin Le – Associate Professor of Psychology Research has explained in “The Science of Relationships: Answers to Your Questions about Dating, Marriage and Family” - The book about science of relationship.
Dr. Benjamin Le has said that the qualities they see and behaviors they observe in their parents is one of the big factors. For example, if the parents were not consistent and nurturing towards the child, the child will have expectations that his/he parents can not be relied upon.
Benjamin Le also added that what makes people attractive to others frequently come down to exposure, which is good for those who often log on to free dating websites. At first you might see profiles that aren’t attractive, but the more you see them the more you feel that they are not so bad which is human psychology. There are sites like Badoo.com and Yangutu.com who ask online single to feature their pictures on top part of their sites and as a result make lots of money.
On a serious note the book emphasis the complexity behind the idea of dating someone who is similar to a parent and cites the frequent study of the type of attachment a parent makes to their child as a determining factor in their outcome of their romantic preferences.

After Making a Match Free Dating Websites Wants to Celebrate New Relationship Status
Thursday, April 12th, 2012
You have read plenty of articles to decorate your online dating profile as every article claims to make your online dating profile more and more appealing. However, it depends on what fields free dating websites give to their users. What I mean is, it depends on the user’s only availability in getting spaces to fill basic info or something out of the box.
A new trend that seems to be creeping upwards for free dating websites is to have couples profile page and the first one to use this innovative idea is Zoosk. They have recently lunched the couple profile pages asking couples to showcase their romantic journey of dating and relationship.
There is nothing wrong is these sort of profile pages but, apart from looking sweet I wonder what would the future of these couple profiles be like on free dating websites. Wonder why online singles want to visit these pages in the first place and even then they usually visit online singles with these pages. Certainly you don’t want to break any relationships to create a new one for yourself. Only time will tell what would be the future of these couple profile pages on free dating websites but for now, it look like a flower pot with artificial flowers growing in your living room.

Looking for the Best Free Dating Sites – It Starts with the Personality
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012
There is no denying that online singles looking for the best free dating sites will start with a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. However, they may also have heard from their other single counterparts of dating websites that they have joined and recommended. Keep in mind that all of us singles have very different requirements to the rest of us and we need to keep that in mind when choosing the dating website that will work for u. In addition, the way we use the site and what frequency is also a bearing of our own personality and this is also key to successful online dating.
Let me breakdown some interesting singles profiles that are usually on the hunt to find their match through other online dating websites and free dating sites.
Single No. 1 – The Predator
This online single user operates on the internet in usually the same manner that they do if they were in a bar or a singles club. The character is more prevalent in males but women can have this too. When they are on Facebook and see a photo or a profile that takes their fancy, they are quick to act. It may lead them to another dating site, in which case, they will join instantly, hunt for the woman or man in question or look for others that take their fancy.
Single No. 2 – The Observer
This dating single is on the lookout and many people are not always aware of their motives as they don’t make it obvious. They will cover their tracks so as not to offend anyone but will still try to get the work done in their own strategic way. They measure the options very carefully and select dating websites including free dating sites which they feel are most suitable to them. Unlike the predator above, they take their time. Of course, like everyone else they may not find what they are looking for and he/she will more likely be disappointed with failures than others.
Single No. 3 – The Heartbreaker
One can mistake this online profile with the Predator but there are subtle nuances. This dating single moves with their emotions and usually judges everything by the way they feel. They are carefully observant of the other websites and rely completely on the ethereal and ‘feel-good-factor’ of the dating site to make decisions. They are the most likely be disappointed in affairs of the heart, but cannot always understand why.

Spend time on your profile and let prospective dates know what you really enjoy in life. Another among the many online dating tips you need to heed is to be proactive when dating.
