Free Online Dating Sites Versus Pay: Which Is Best?

It seems everything has its positive side and its negative

, its yin and yang, its optimistic and pessimistic. In the case of something that is free, two opposing dictums apply: "The best things in life are free!" and "If it"s too good to be true, it probably is." So when referring to free online dating sites and sites that charge a fee, which adage holds up?

After researching free and pay-based online dating sites, a few things become clear:

Both free and pay sites have an equal number of quality (and not so quality) people looking for companionship.

If someone wants to post a dishonest profile on a dating site, they will do it regardless of if they are paying for it or not.

With few exceptions, both free and fee-based online dating sites welcome people of all races, sexual orientations, hobbies, professions, religious backgrounds, and other preferences.

The basic outline of both types of dating sites is a personal profile which can be shared or not with the option of filtering through other people"s profiles on the website in order to find a potentially suitable match.

Security is generally the same on free and pay websites but users must always use common sense and be responsible for their own safety when talking with someone or meeting them in person.

The one big difference between free online dating sites and those that charge a fee is obvious: free sites are free, cost nothing, zero, zilch.

Many of us are struggling to make a living these days but even if money is not an issue, why pay for something that you can get for equal quality at no cost? Free online dating sites have been a boon to singles and since they no longer hold a stigma of desperation, chances are more and more of them will be popping onto the online market. The dating scene can be tough on a person"s time, finances, and convenience; if you"re looking for love and friendship, give free online dating sites a try.
