Do Free Dating Sites Pay? - Singles Dating and Chat Tips

Thursday, October 30th, 2008
Mr Online Dating asked:


Free online dating and chat rooms…..

One of the first and easily the most successful free online dating sites ever established is plentyoffish.com The owner Markus Frind is an entrepreneur from Canada. His free online dating site boasts one of the biggest in the world with around 8 million members and 45 million visitors per month. Marcus has mainly run his free online dating service from his house on his own up until now. This will soon change with around 25 employees set to begin. Marcus is currently the largest ever single Adsense earner making an incredible 10k per day. But like any great idea, this concept has been duplicated many times and the free online chat dating industry now has just as many competitors as the paid industry.

If you have ever wondered how they can give their services away and still make a dollar, its pretty simple. These webmasters make their money from advertising. So when more members join up the greater the potential there is for them to make money.

Singles who are looking around to choose which free dating site catches their attention will notice that many of the free online dating services have all the up to date features that the paid sites have - Have you ever stopped to think why singles keep paying for dating sites? Some free dating sites provide Instant messenger, web cam chat, video feature, private chat rooms and general chat rooms. In fact you would be pushed to find a paid dating and chat service that can offer better features than many free sites offer.

These days when you hear something is free normally there is a catch involved. No, they are just that,free no catch, just register, join, browse/meet and chat to singles all for free. Whilst alot of the free online dating sites have state of the art features, and the webmasters who create them think its a good idea at the time, however there is a big over supply of free online dating services so most have a small data base. Sure its fantastic something is free but without many singles to choose from its really no help. The search engines have pages and pages of paid and free dating services but only a small number of them are successful. The race to reach the top of the search engines sees many free dating site owners fighting a losing battle.

There are certainly some great free dating and chat sites out there that do in fact have decent numbers in terms of their data base so spend an hour or two searching them out to locate one that stacks up.

Paid online dating services.

The big question is why do paid dating sites continue to see growth when there are free dating services hungry for your membership?

The free online dating method has not been around for as long as the paid method. As with many competitive industries the most successful players - like Marcus from plentyoffish have the talent to come up with new ideas to divert away from the main stream market. It boils down to first in best dressed.

The more established dating sites who were one of the first in the race seems to be where most singles eventually end up heading for, paid or free is basically irrelevant. The established dating services have massive member numbers. Many singles are searching the free dating sites and are usually disappointed with the lack of members and end up paying a subscription on one of the more well known dating sites. Subscription methods vary. Some dating sites sell monthly subscriptions and the average is around $25.00 a month. Others sell their memberships on a stamp or credit method where by you are charged each time you initiate contact with another member. The monthly payment concept works out alot cheaper so if you have no joy finding a decent free online dating site search for an established paid dating site that offers a competitive monthly rate.

Look around and you will soon find what your looking for.

Stephen Campbell asked:


These successful dating tips can really help achieve what you desire most especially when you are preparing for a the big date.

As part of your dating tips, when, what and how will you do things that can contribute for the success of your huge date. So, you can consider some useful and good dating tips which serve as your guides when you are to prepare for a huge date.

First point that you can include in the list of excellent dating tips is the scheduling; you can set your date earlier so that you’ll be well prepared for such a special occasion.

Another to be added for good dating tips is to select the option of less formal venue when you are to go for a first time dating. Too much formality for first timer will just make both of you in uncomfortable situation because it may hinder you to get to know each other better.

Another to be added in your dating tips list is the idea of day time date for first time dating. Evening date can just be put in place when you know each other better, already.

You also have to think more on your partner because that is the most important in setting date. Of course, you will think of the food to be eaten, the clothes to wear and and other secondary things.

Be yourself, as what has been said, you can be on an informal date but still be presentable. Through this way, you can feel at ease and more comfortable to do things even it is just in casual and with that, you can be able to establish a catalyst to know each other deeper.

There is no need to be on expensive date, especially for the first timer. Your wealth is not the topic but to know your partner personal regardless of social differences. You can enjoy your first time date without talking much on your wealth. In other words, your discussion must focus mainly on personality instead of other things.

These are just some of the many tips you need to have in your heart so that you would also have those good memories to be brought about by the great date you have. Of course, you have your own way of making this day special too.

These are just some successful dating tips that you can apply during your first time date.

Gay Dating Gone Wrong

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
Janet Francis asked:


Gay Dating- It’s not over till the fat lady sings.

So the honeymoon period is over, things aren’t so good, he looks bored and you feel deflated, are you both just tired or are these warning signs that the relationship is on the brink of failure and it’s time to move on? We look at these signs and offer you an insight into them so you can recognise them earlier.

Arguing- all couples argue, this doesn’t necessarily mean the relationship is on the rocks. Next time you argue over something trivial ask yourself why you’re both doing this? Is it keeping the sparks flying in your relationship or simply giving you both something to talk about.

Is he still your soul mate? Imagine something really bad has just happened, who would you call first? Is it him? Now imagine something really great has just happened and ask yourself the same question. If neither of those answers is him you’re in trouble dear.

Things seem to be lacking. A lot of people focus their relationship breakdown to the physical side of things, like sex, but it’s the mental things too, like the lack of conversation that should ring alarm bells in your head.

Revisiting the menu, even after you’ve picked and received your dish, with your dish right in front of you. In other words checking out other men even when you’re with your boyfriend.

Although these can all be warning signs that the party is over, it may just be that you need something to spice up your relationship, try speaking to a sexpert at http://www.thetextperts.co.uk/sex_advice.html, or maybe you both need a break. Whatever your situation and whatever the outcome remember the key to a successful relationship or a painless break up is, in the words of Aretha R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

The Benefits of Single Online Dating Sites

Friday, October 24th, 2008
Peter Nisbet asked:


There are several benefits of single online dating sites that attract people to using them. Contrary to a popular belief held by some people that those that use online dating sites cannot get a partner elsewhere, such sites tend to be used by those too busy to lead a full social life. They are unable to get out and about, so use dating sites as others would use a club or pub.

Many are full time professionals, working work long hours, and yet others work every evening and also night shifts. They are working when most others are out enjoying themselves and meeting people, and need some other avenue where they can make social contact. Many visitors to singles sites and online dating agencies are highly intelligent and very good looking people who have been unable to find a suitable partner from the small circle in which they have the time to be involved, and want to see what us available in the wider world.

Single online dating sites are ideal for such people, but also for others who have had similar problems finding a suitable partner, but for different reasons. Some live in remote locations, where a visit to the cinema is a mini expedition. If your nearest night club is 100 miles away, what do you do? Yet others are shy, and find it hard to talk face to face with the opposite *** or even the same *** since single dating agencies offer their services to people of all sexual persuasions.

These probably cover the main benefits: they offer a service to people who are unable to meet others for one reason or another and the opportunity to come into contact with other like-minded people with the same problems. Here are a few more benefits of single online dating sites:

1. They are anonymous, and so good for those that feel self conscious or are afraid of being rejected. You can use a false name and the contact services provided by the online dating agency. In fact you are encouraged to do so, because you should never provide your real details, especially an address, email or geographical, until you have met and are absolutely certain of the person with whom you are communicating.

2. They generally have a large database of people in the same situation as you are. They too want to find a partner, and are likely just as nervous as you are at the whole process of doing so. They are fine when they have finally found one, but the finding can be a bit daunting and worrying for them. So don’t think you are alone: you are definitely not!

3. The ‘Profile’ service allows you to screen people before finally being given a selection that meets your requirements, but try not to be too picky in these requirements. It’s OK to say you prefer a blue eyed blond, but if you also require her to be 5 foot 6 inches tall with hair down to her shoulder blades and to love Dvorjak and dogs, then you are pretty well restricting yourself to a very narrow choice. You need to have some screening, because it’s no use you, as a virtual alcoholic, dating a dedicated prohibitionist, but try not to be too restrictive with it.

4. Single online dating services enable you to chat to people online and get to know them before you have to meet them. You should chat to as many as possible that meet your main criteria, and it is fine to be chatting to several at the same time. There’s no two-timing online, and it is recognized as the best way to find a suitable partner. Once you meet somebody online that you feel you get along with, then you can perhaps arrange to meet.

Be careful when you agree to meet, because not all people are truthful: in fact 30% of men and 18% of women believe that lying on online dating sites is OK. Some people, and this is a good idea, insist on talking via webcam before meeting, so that at least you won’t find your 18 year old bombshell to be a 55 year old *******. These things happen, and you should be aware of it. Sweeping them under the carpet doesn’t help, and more online dating sites should warn you of the fact and many do, in fact bring the security of online dating sites to your attention.

If you take care and follow all the rules given to you by your chosen single online dating site, then you should be able to find the person of your dreams safely and have a lot of fun while doing so.

Free Online Dating Site Offers Free Online Dating - for Ever!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
Mr Online Dating asked:


Online dating site hookmeup.com.au plans to announce this Friday its plans to invite advertisers onto its dating site. The decision comes as hookmeup.com.au endeavours to continue offering members 100% free access across Australia.

 

dating site owner Matt Fuller estimates his spend at tens of thousands of dollars investing in expert advice and state of the art online dating software. Matt has employed industry experts and advisors over the past eleven months fine tuning every detail to give singles the very best user experience. Just as important, keeping it a free online dating site. With an over saturation of online dating sites on the market, http://www.hookmeup.com.au is making a point of difference by creating a new strategy so it remains free and plans to pay for the site costs via advertising.

 

Most businesses in their first year of operation will lose money. According to business leaders and entrepreneurs interviewed by Mr Fuller during the research phase, 70%-80% of a business start up allowance should represent research and due diligence.

Other research carried out by the Australian dating site owner, discovered over two thirds of new businesses fail within five years. Time after time lack of research is to blame.

 

Even extensive research doesn’t always shield successful businesses being swallowed up by larger companies with huge cash resources. The online dating industry has in recent times seen the larger online dating companies take over smaller internet dating companies in order to launch operations into new countries armed with an instant data base of current and local singles.

 

In recent times, online dating giant match.com has joined forces with Terra Latin America, the largest internet singles dating provider in the region. As a result of the partnership Match will now have an incredible fifty six million unique visits per month. Its these kind of figures that make it impossible for the smaller online dating sites to compete. Many smaller businesses world wide across many industries are falling victim to larger national companies.

 

RSVP, Australia’s largest internet dating site is another example of big companies snapping up opportunities in the endless search for larger profits. John Fairfax Holdings Limited recently bought RSVP for $38.50 million dollars. Fairfax has claimed that the market growth for online dating has been pushed by increasing social acceptability of time starved singles. Online publishers association claim online dating is the largest paid online content category in America.

 

With such huge companies in the market, a point of difference is the only possibility for success with new dating companies. The one thing http://www.hookmeup.com can provide above the larger online dating sites is they don’t charge any fees for their services. There are several other free online dating websites emerging to combat big business, and it seems to be adding a new spin on things. Some free dating sites even promote the paid ones and receive commissions in return. Google is also taking a slice of the action by advertising their Adwords ads on the free dating sites. The free online dating websites get paid by Google for sending traffic to the paid ones. It is certainly a sign of competitive times when businesses are resorting to giving their goods and services away. Good news for singles looking to join an online dating site though.

Australian Online Dating Launches New Singles Chat Club!

Monday, October 20th, 2008
Mr Online Dating asked:


There is an over supply of online dating services on the market and there are many competing dating sites trying to capitalize on niche online dating ventures. Even though there remains an over supply of online dating services, the popular dating sites are experiencing huge growth in memberships.

Australian online dating is the latest dating concept to capitalize on a new idea regarding membership subscriptions and mirroring the practice of some night clubs in allowing females entry for free while guys pay a cover charge of $3.30.

As with the night club concept there are several rooms on offer. Within a night club there is often rooms offering different themes (e.g. Techno, R & B and funky house tunes rooms. Likewise, Australian online dating  also offers an array of rooms for its members centred on different themes and topics. Members can also create their own room and control its access.

 

This fresh concept being introduced is a world first by an online dating site. The current average ratio of males vs females on dating sites is clearly unbalance with males at around 65% and females at 35%. A survey conducted by an Australian online dating service claims that their members have indicated a positive response as this new subscription concept is a positive for both males and females.

 

A spokesman from the online dating industry that assisted with this article was asked, “Why is this concept a winner”? “Free for females is obviously a great thing, and there’s no catch - free means free. The advantage for the guys is that they can capitalize on the increase of new and interesting female members who will no doubt take advantage of the free memberships. All the guys pay is from $3.30 for full access and the potential to meet 1000s of real single ladies on this online dating site. Guys can finally navigate around a dating site with a balance of female to male members rather than one that is dominated by too many males and not enough females.”

It’s a link with tradition, like men paying for the lady on a date, or offering her a drink to get to know her. Similarly, this idea of free online dating for females and paid online dating for men has taken the concept of traditions shared between men and women in our society and applied it to the online dating world. There has been a plethora of free online dating services and free online chat rooms of late but none have taken the bold leap of the Australian online dating site offering free online dating to ladies.

A leading Australian consumer magazine recently compared the cost of popular ways to find singles. $50.00-$200.00 per night will give the city guys and girls a night out on the town, taking into consideration taxi fares, drinks, food and maybe some new clothes or a new do. If you’re doing this once or twice a week the annual cost is around $8000.00 per year for your average sociable guy or gal. By comparison, it can cost as little as $50.00 per year to use an online dating service. The math says it all.

It has also been reported by recent studies into the lifestyle of singles that online dating services offer members a wider choice of singles than conventional dating options. The internet provides a cost effective and safe environment to find singles in a no hassle environment, with over 20000000 visitors per month searching online for singles and chat rooms on a global scale.

Why do women like dating men with a sense of humor?

Humor Dating Rules to ***** Up Your Bones

Monday, October 13th, 2008
Francis Githinji asked:


Some of the dating rules are very hilarious and it does not sound right to call them just rules. The best thing to call them is humor dating rules. When i visited some of my friends recently i laughed till i could not laugh any more after a man said that among his dating rules is that he does not date girls who have fat or ugly friends. Number two of his rules is that he does not date girls who think pot-bellies are not ****. They are just not fit to date together with one who does not praise the size of his manhood no matter how small it is. Another one came up with a really funny one. That a woman should never date a man who still lives in her mothers house after he is 30 years old. They argued that chances are that he has some hidden bodies under the board.

The lady also came up with other humor dating rules which had every woman thinking quiet hard. Do not date a guy who has the guts to go round in a car for a whole hour looking for a cheap parking space or to make it worse a cheap petrol station. You might laugh it off but it is serious. This sends a message that the guy is very mean with his money. For a relationship to prosper you need to share financial problems and a mean person makes you jump to the next one who might be a little more generous. The no romance without finance is a truly applicable slogan.

Ladies be warned. Do not take them as just humor dating rules they are real. Do not date a man who does not like showering. You might be subjecting yourself to torture of having to put up with a smelling partner. Do you want to leave under the shadow of your mother-law? Mama boys are dreaded by many women. That is why you should not date a man with a boob’s fascination. Why? Because the guys still want to be around their mums as long as possible. It is a sign that they adore their mother. Do not even think of going anywhere near a guy who has blow up dolls. It is not safe.

There are funny men who will tell you about their mental disorders on their first dates. To make it more humorous they propose to you on that very first date. Girl, run for your life because this is not funny. Humor dating rules state that; do not hang around with a guy who cannot scratch his balls in public. He is not disciplined enough to follow rules and regulations since this was taught to every guy by his primary teacher. Do not date a guy whose only idea of romance is a pat you on the back. These rules are funny and it is your choice to follow all of them. Do not blame me if you will be single after the age of 30.

First Dating Advice For Parents

Monday, October 13th, 2008
Ann Marier asked:


The unthinkable has happened. Your baby girl - wasn’t she in diapers just a few weeks ago - has announced that she wants to go on a date. If you’re like most parents, your first reaction is probably to lock her in a tower like Rapunzel until she comes to her senses. But that will only prolong the inevitable. Instead, why not follow this first dating advice to make sure her first date is safe and fun.

First Dating Advice #1: Insist Upon Meeting the Boy

Teenage fashion being what it is, try to keep an open mind about the color of his hair and clothing and about the number of tattoos and body piercings. Instead, focus on his behavior. Does he treat your daughter with respect? When you speak to him, does he respond appropriately? Trust your gut instinct. If your intuition warns you there is something amiss, cancel the date.

First Dating Advice #2: Ask When, Where, With Whom, and How Long

Ask your daughter to describe the evening’s plan in detail. (When you meet her date, you can ask him the same question to make sure the details match.) Feel free to nix any part of the plan you don’t like. (E.g., “A movie sounds great, but I don’t want you going to that party afterwards.”)

First Dating Advice #3: Make Sure Your Daughter Has a Way to Get in Touch with You

Give your daughter a cell phone and a couple of quarters in case she needs to use a payphone. Make sure she knows all your numbers (home, cell, work, etc.). Tell her that if she ever feels uncomfortable or thinks she is in danger to call you immediately. Tell her that you will come immediately and that any discussion of what happened can be postponed until the next day if necessary. Make sure your daughter knows you are strong enough to hear anything she has to say.

First Dating Advice #4: Debrief

Wait up for your daughter after the date. Observe her mood and behavior. Does she seem happy or sad? Does she walk steadily? Is there alcohol on her breath? The next day, ask your daughter to tell you about the date. Share any observations you may have made. (E.g., “You say you had a great time, but when you came in last night you slammed the front door and you looked really angry. What was that about?”).

Your daughter’s first date can be a frightening experience for you as a parent. Using this first dating advice can help keep your daughter safe and you sane.

Minimizing The Risks Of Online Dating

Saturday, October 11th, 2008
Rodrigo Rehn asked:


Though the internet has opened avenues for everyone to meet on a common platform there are many downsides to this medium. This is a place where everybody has the freedom to say anything about themselves.

There is no quality check or any kind or legislation meant for safety which is an easy and vulnerable means of attacking unsuspecting individuals. The online dating sites do emphasize on use of stringent measures to filter the profiles of the registered members but, do you think it is possible to keep a track of so many people?

Thus you have to ensure your own safety and be responsible or else bear the consequences. So watch your step. We give you a few tips on how to minimize the risks of online dating.

Do not reveal personal information

It is very normal for someone to get carried away while dating online but one of the important rules of this dating game is to have your head on your shoulders and not act foolishly like giving out personal information such as telephone numbers and addresses.

This information is enough for the most likely criminals or any person with wrong intentions to track you down or misuse the details for personal benefit. The decision to not divulge any personal information can help immensely to minimize the risks of online dating.

Read the warning signs

This is a very good tip to minimize the risks of online dating. When you converse with your online date through emails or chat sessions, pay attention to what they are saying.

Some dominant characteristics like foul temper or unstable behavioral changes or mood swings are signs that should be taken into consideration. There are several such signs which may seem unusual to you as a normal person is attribute.

We do not say that no one has these characteristics in some amounts but you could be dealing with extreme cases, and moreover you do not want an online date who would either abuse you or ridicule you right? Such a relationship is doomed from the beginning.

Meet your date in a crowded area

When you meet someone online what guarantee is there that they are not putting on pretence? People with deceitful nature have no qualms about masking themselves.

They may be the sweetest people on earth, charming as ever not capable of harming anybody. But in reality the picture might be totally reversed. Make sure when you fix the meeting, it is done with the knowledge of your parents and friends and it is during daytime in a busy area.

This is an effective way to minimize the risks of online dating. Make sure your date does not accompany you back home for you do not know the person yet and do not fall prey to their insistence for your own safety sake.
