Ever since they sprung up, there has been a huge debate on which is the best dating site on the internet. It’s certainly not an easy question to answer because of the many factors to take into consideration. Let’s try to dissect these factors and see what we can come up with.

 

Ratios

By far the most important factor when we’re trying to locate the best dating site is the “Male:Female” ratio. We all know that women don’t have a problem meeting men online. All they have to do is pick a site, make a profile, upload some photos and voila! They have an inbox full of private messages from hundreds of men that are interested in meeting them. The reason for this is simple. Men are outnumbering the women at a ratio of 10-1 on most dating sites. And the numbers get worse on others. Some dating sites have ratios as terrible as 50-1. One way you can avoid these types of sites is staying away from the major players. When Match.com or Plenty of Fish run an advertising campaign, they target mostly men and end up getting thousands of new male members signing up and very few women. So stay away from all major players if you’re serious about meeting women online. Competition there is fierce and one in every hundred men will actually find an online hookup. Some dating sites on the other hand are mostly seen advertised on sites that target a female audience. They’ve been using this tactic for quite a while now and it’s working great for them. They know that by building up their female database, men are soon to follow. And it’s been working great for them. So try to to find a site that advertises to women and your odds of finding someone will increase ten fold. AdultHookup is well known for this.

 

Interface

Another factor is the site’s interface. Most sites have started using a Facebook like interface because it’s something many people are familiar with.  In the past, this used to be a big factor when trying to find the best dating site. But now it seems like most sites are just going with a familiar style that most people are used to. So if you sign up to a site and find it hard to navigate, I would steer clear. The reason being that most people will abandon it and you’ll find yourself feeling stranded alone on a desert island. So pick a site that’s easy to use and you can navigate without having to be an experienced internet user.

 

Price Range

It’s hard to discuss the best dating site without looking at the premium membership cost. Almost all dating sites will charge a monthly fee for premium membership. Some people don’t understand that charging a monthly fee is the only way to keep a community free of spammers, liars, pretenders and advertisements. But some sites can definitely get carried away. I’ve seen some communities charge up to 150$ or even 200$ a month for premium membership and some people are actually paying that fee in hopes of finding true love or casual sex. That’s just taking advantage of people. How do you expect to find a decent database of members on a site where the vast majority of people can’t afford the cost of membership??  Prices usually vary from 10$ to 50$ a month on a decent dating site so anything above that should be a sign that you should probably stay away and start looking elsewhere to meet that special someone. Free sites are another option but again, you’ll find a lot of unwanted practices there and fierce competition. It’s not uncommon to find ratios of one woman for every two hundred men on free dating sites.

 

Video Chat

When you’re looking for the best dating site you want to make sure they have their own video chatting software. Gone are the days when you’d sit and chat with someone without knowing what they actually looked like. In the past, you’d get a brief description of the person you were chatting with “Blonde, blue eyes, tall, thin” and the image you had in your head was totally different from the one you saw when you actually met each other. That was a common problem before video chatting. So when you’re looking for the best dating site, make sure they have the option to video chat with other members.

 

Localized

The reason we can never actually get a definite answer to “Which is the best dating site?” is simply because what works in some countries, won’t work in others. Make sure the dating site you choose has actual members in your country, city or town. You don’t want to be the only person registered within a 50 mile radius. That’s not going to help you meet anyone any time soon. Unless you’re willing to travel every time you lock in a date.

 

In conclusion, unfortunately, we’re once again unable to find an answer to this question.

Find something that works for you and stick with it.

What I suggest is find a dating site that caters to women, charges a reasonable price for a monthly subscription, allows its members to communicate via Video Chat and has an active community in your city.

As always, we recommend sites that offer a “Hookup Guarantee” to its male members. ACTIVE GUARANTEES
