Testimonials

“We were both divorced with two kids each.  Neither of us was looking to get married again, we just wanted to find someone to hang out with, be friends, etc.  I was getting on the site to remove my profile and he had just signed up through an email ad he received.  I hadn’t had any real luck; I met some guys. A few turned out to be good friends, but no romance.  I had pretty much given up, and then I received an email telling me that he liked my picture and wanted to talk.  So I called him and we talked for hours.  We talked everyday for hours for about 4 days.  Then I decided to get up the nerve to go meet him.  I hadn’t had real success so I wasn’t about to get my hopes up this time.  So I decided that one day after work I would meet him and off I went,  I took my kids with me this time.  I wanted their opinions, they didn’t much care for the other guys I had met, but they just loved him and his kids.  The rest is history; we haven’t been apart from that moment on, except to go to work.  We moved in with each other unofficially right away, and then six months later it was official.  I moved out of my own house and into his.  We were married May 13, 2005 and are living happily ever after.”

Mate1.com Review

Ranked by Comscore Mediamatrix® and Neilsen Netratings® among the top 5 mainstream dating sites on the planet, Mate1.com has over 15 million members, with tens of thousands joining daily.

It is supposedly the most frequented explicit dating site on the web. A unique feature that gives Mate1 an almost 50/50 girl to guy ratio is the fact that women don’t have to pay for membership while guys have to pay a monthly fee. Although this may not seem fair, it is an effective solution for balancing the playing field.

Dear Mate1,

I met my soul mate on your website! It must have been fate because we met on the last night he was going to be on the site. He had already cancelled his subscription when I happened to send him an IM invitation. We started to talk and soon met up, and well, here we are, planning our wedding! I have never met someone who completed me the way that he does and I have this website to thank for that.

Thank you so much Mate1.com!

SinglesNet.com Review

SinglesNet is a dating site created with the motto “Dating Made Easy.” They offer free trial memberships and form most users’ experience, it seems that the only benefit in paying for a subscription is to be able to initiate contact with more than a few members at a time. The best feature of SinglesNet.com is that it is extremely easy and fast to sign up (they claim as low as 30 seconds).

Testimonials:
Steve & Julie
Married December 13, 2008
“Neither of us expected to get married again, but we also did not expect to find someone so well matched.”
We met via Perfectmatch in January 2006. Julie, who was new to internet dating, was matched with 60 men. She liked Steve’s profile the best. He was the first and only man she had approached via Perfect Match. Steve, by this time, had used several other internet dating services off and on over the previous several years, with mostly disappointing results.

Julie lived 65 miles away, outside his preferred geographic range. When Julie approached him, he expected to have one or two pleasant dates and that would be the end of it. Nevertheless, one date led to another, and another, and another. Neither of us expected to get married again, but we also did not expect to find someone so well matched in temperament, interests and understanding. Steve proposed to Julie during a sunset cruise on Lake Michigan last August, on bended knee in front of several astounded onlookers. We were married Dec. 13, 2008. ~ Steve & Julie
