I often hear people knock the free dating sites like Plenty Of Fish, OKCupid, Zoosk, and others. People often say they are a mecca for people looking for quick hookups, people aren't serious about dating, or that people don't respond to messages.
I have been on pay sites as well as free sites. I myself have actually had pretty good luck on the free sites, and maybe it requires a little more looking but there's definately quality men and women on those sites who are attractive, interesting and have their lives together. You'll find the good and bad in everything in life though and that includes free dating sites as well as pay dating sites.
The one area I would agree with people is in the fact that pay sites probably have a high percentage of people seeking a more serious relationship or a long term relationship versus just dating for fun or casually. That said it's not that you can't find a serious relationship on a free site either.
Overall however I would say if your looking to test the waters of online dating try a free site. You can setup a profile in a few minutes and start browsing potential partners right away and it doesn't cost you a thing if you decide online dating isn't for you.
If your dead set on looking for a serious relationship and are not interested in playing the field while your waiting to find that maybe sign up for a pay dating site.
You can find what your looking for on pay sites or free sites though, it just requires knowing what you want and looking for it.
What are your thoughts? Have you been on pay sites, free sites or both? If so what's your take on them and how they compare? Leave a comment and let us know.
