I’ve continued to unsubscribe from about 20 different dating sites, focusing on the leaders in the date-warehouse and niche sites, free and paid. That’s 4, which is about all I can handle at the moment.
Yahoo wasn’t doing anything for me, cya later, for the time being.
FastCupid continues to deliver the goods, primary site I check daily. I’m loving the blogs, groups and don’t care about the terrible user interface anymore. Small price to pay to reach my demographic.
Match is an old standby, the bellwether of the industry, even if Yahoo is marginally larger.
I’ve never received an email worth responding to on a free dating site. Free may be the new paid, but not for me.
Of course I’m on Myspace. I use it primarily to keep in touch with my cousins, they are rabid Myspacers and keep me in the know. I’m not going to bother with Hi5 and the others, not enough value for me to take the time to get established. Tagworld is worth checking out though, cleaner UI, and what I thought was going to be a more mature (over 25) audience which does not seem to be the case based on the college-age sirens on the home page. Certainly doesn’t share the freaky circus-like graphics of myspace which are a total turn off.
Speaking of turn offs, today I went to update my Match profile, and most of my profiles settings were reset! No wonder I was not getting many emails! Talk about bad news. I wonder what caused this?
After clarifying that I’m not looking for large women over 50, I visited Webdate for kicks. Webdate is good for voyerism, although the fake nails and bleach-blonde hair of 90% of the members has me hearing the sounds of chewing gum bubbles popping incessantly.
Look the the similarities between the turn ons and turn offs for each. Webdate totally ripped off Match. Besides the fact that these are pretty lame questions to begin with, for Webdate to blatantly copy Match, is even lamer. Shame on you.
