What's your favorite dating site

[Deleted]

    and why?

[doriswe]

I have yet to find a favorite! They're all the same, IMHO. Same dudes, same profiles, different sites.

i agree with doriswe, but have lately only been on tinder. there have been no new dudes in my area on match.com in the last year. i'm not being facetious.

Gawd Match is terrible around here. OKC wasn't too bad and POF isn't horrible either, but you have to really sift through some shit to get to decent ones.

Eharmony is a total shitshow unless you want to date someone from further away.

cuddlyevil thank god - i thought it was just me. a friend tried eharmony and got 2 matches over the course of a long period of time, she was so disappointed. it's tough in these parts! have you been on tinder? still a lot of sifting through shit but at least it's quick

seriously!

Which means - I like free ones since you're getting the same dudes on paid ones.

I tend to prefer OKC over POF - the format seems classier and I do like the questions feature. Though i also think it's a curse because I do think there's a thing as too many questions answered.

I agree with that, even though there's a lot of overlap between both sites.

I will say, that I get bored at night and will look at lots of sites out of curousity.  The same guys are on the usual sites (Match/POF/OkC) as well as on Christianmingle and Adultfriendfinder.

Eharmony is wretched, sorry not going to travel to Cleveland or Baltimore for a date.

I haven't been on tinder, I guess I should try it but I've sort of been taking a hiatus from online dating (well, it started out as a hiatus and now I'm all "meh"). I've lost patience with guys just looking to get laid.

Though if I have another guy who is sub 30 tell me that they "like mature women" while I'm sitting next to them in a bar, I will throw my beer at their head.

OMG i will join you in the beer throwing. dude i was talking with told me last week "don't take this the wrong way, but you look amazing...for 32."

UM YOU'RE 28 YOU LOSER I'M NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN YOU.

The idea of being on both AdultFriendFinder & ChristianMingle is cracking me up.

Right? Seems to be polar opposites, no?

I know. I mean, I know I look older than most of the other people in the bar but FFS "mature"?

Yep.  I paid for singleparentmeet and it was the same guys on pof.

I have had good luck with POF, both guys I dated for a period of time I had met from there.

Clearly it didn't work though, because I'm still single ;-)

Lately I like Tinder, but it definitely skews younger. ( I like young though). I did meet the head of a pediatric hospital on there though (late 40s). Too bad he was 5'7". I met both of the guys I'm dating on there (they are both in their 20s)

Match I like the most for quality but I only get like 1 maybe 2 decent guys contact me a week.

POF is good if you want a million emails

OKC is good maybe the first day or two after that it's a ghost town

eHarmony the only guy that I went out with was 56 (I'm 39 and was younger at the time)

I've never done Zoosk, but my last boss met her husband on there.

No.

[doriswe]

Kevin's still looking pretty fine, these days!

Um... I would be alllllllllllll over this.

[redredwine]

I liked OKC the best. Like doriswe, I found most of the same guys on all of them. It's free, low risk, easy to filter, enjoyed the question aspect.

However; I happened to meet my H on EHarmony. I would have never met him on any other dating site due to what I filtered out, though he was on several of hte same ones I was at the same time, so there's that bonus. I found that with EHarmony, you have to really rate yourself highly or you get stuck with duds.

I found Match to be more of a "bar" type scene, and they were usually on OKC at the same time anyway.

[gault]

I've had the best luck with OKC.

In my experiences, EHarmony has very few matches, match is shallow, POF is where the creeps go, and tinder, well.
Again, just my experiences. Also I was in CA for much of those sites so the pool is different.

[formerlyak]

I only did POF, match and eharmony. I hated POF - guys were lame and couldn't send a message that included a complete thought. Match felt more like a bar online - I met one guy on there who was nice enough, just not long-term. I had a lot of great matches on eharmony, talked with probably 15-20 guys on there, met about half a dozen in person and met dh on eharmony.

I think which one is the "best" has a lot to do with demographics.

ETA: the guys I met on eharmony seemed to be 35-40 year old professionals who weren't looking for a hook up. I think that is why I liked it best.

[Wanderista]

I've had luck on OkC. I've had to weed through a lot on there but I have met interesting guys on there including the one I am dating now. I've never tried Tinder but my younger sister met her boyfriend on there and is really happy. I know someone who married a guy from Match. I agree that it all can vary by location.

Online dating is pretty popular here because it can be hard to meet people romantically in other ways. There's a lot of professional networking that goes on here too. You sometimes have to be careful who you are hitting on. People like to know that they are meeting in a dating context.

I also tried doing speed-dating through Meetup which was different. I got one date that way.

[achase123]

I have only ever done match. It was ok. I think it's the same with all sites. You've gotta just weed through creepers to get to the genuine people.
