First step in choosing a dating
company is to read as many
reviews online as possible. Also
entering the search phases, like
the name of the company
followed by words scam,
complaints, problems etc. in
search engines is advised.
Most of the dating companies
offer free signup where search
is enabled, but messaging is
disabled, so try it out before
giving credit card info.
Pay attention to search results.
Are there a lot of dates on a first
search? Do dates look like a
models, and most of the info is
not filled in profile (if there are
more these kind of profiles than
profiles of regular people in
search results, stay away from
that dating company. It's
probably somebody trying to
steal personal info)?
Most of the dating companies
show the activity for profiles (if
it doesn't company should be
avoided). If there are a lot of
profiles that haven't been active
in more than a week in top search
results, something is wrong, so be
careful. It's either that they don't
have enough profiles to stay
competitive, or dating company is
of no interest to people (low
popularity).
As with any other service on the
internet, quality customer service
is very important. Go for the dating
company that provides phone
number. If company offers just
form on their web site to fill out, it
probably means that it's operated
by one person or a very small
company that probably leased out
a database of profiles from bigger
company, and can't support the
customer base.
Good thing to do before choosing
dating site is to check out ratio
between man and women. Free
signup opens up the door to free
search. If you are man, make note
of total number of women and
total number of man, and divide
those two numbers. It would be
optimal if there is the same number
of man and women (ratio 1:1), but
that's never a case. Usually there is
more man than women, and good
ratio would be 3:1 to 4:1 (total number
of man for one dating site in local
area (50mile range) is 9000 and
there are 3000 women. That would be
a ratio of 3:1, which is good). Women
should check the ratio also. The higher the ratio is, more choices for
the women, but at the same time
more messages in inbox, which could
make it hard to decide. This
calculation is not perfect (because of
fake profiles), but it's a good way to
test
dating company.
