Another popular meet up is New York Nightlife. Again there are nearly 3'000 members of this group which has this stated objective: "We are a community of young professionals who enjoy upscale events at the finest NYC clubs and at private venues".

Not For me!

says:

Online dating reminds me a little of the children's story, Little Red Riding Hood. I am sure a parent told her not to go through the woods but she decided to take a short cut and the very thing that has no business talking much less talking to her, is a wolf. She tells the wolf all he needs to know in order to not only have an appetizer at the cabin but the rest of the meal when she arrives. A woman I spoke to only online went through the very same thing as I just described. She regrets wasting so much of her time on someone who was trying to get all he could from her. In a nutshell, there just aren't enough safe guards in place for this to be a good idea.

Kent Larson says:

Online dating site can be dangerous especially when your spouse catches you cheating. Men we're just dogs! A lesson learned never to put my profile on a dating site. In addition, they sell your profile photo even when you delete your account. Klarson@inreach.com

Kvl505 says:

I hate online dating. Guys are serial daters. I haven't noticed any attractive men on any of the dating sites. Dating sites are the easy for cheaters.

Compare YOUR Dating Site With Compete.com

One thing you want from a dating site is that it is large. Why? The more singles, the more chances of meeting someone near you.

Lets say you want to find a dating site in a different niche than listed here, for example, lets say you want to find the largest site for Asian Dating. How do you know which is the biggest? Compete.com will tell you.

Example: In January 2010, I entered 3 of my dating sites (Friend Finder, OK Cupid and Match.com) into Compete.com. As you can see from the photo, Match.com is MUCH bigger and growing. If size matters to you, and often times for dating sites, this is very important, check your website against competitors with Compete.com. Compete is FREE, and you don't even need to register to compare 3 sites.

Compete will help you find the best dating sites for you.

Dating4Disabled.Com

The Best Disability Dating Site

The first sentence on their home page says it all "Dating 4 disabled is a free disabled dating service and online community for people with disabilities". If you are disabled or have no issues dating a disabled partner, why not check it out? Again, it is free.

Funny Online Dating Experience

If you are easily shocked DONT CLICK!

This is a rare Youtube video about an online dating experience that you don't want to have.

It is well made and well acted. The guy in particular is very good and very weird. But it gets a bit graphic towards the end, so if you are easily shocked, it is better to move on.

    They must not be attractive or Eventually they will split up. I've had many friends on dating sites that had gotten engaged only to find out they want to strangle them with an Extension Cords and Kick their dog. I find only psychopath's are on dating sites. All they want to do is have coffee and meet as many women as possible and never follow through just a time waster. Most sociopath/prince charming lie, con and are soul suckers their all ... great at first but then...they gobble you up into their web of evil and deception. I prefer meeting the old fashion way. On line dating has taken over and have obsoleted people meeting people engaging and having normal interaction with one another..

    Anything is great until it gets attacked. When you're living everything is great too until you get attacked. Bad things and bad people are everywhere unfortunately and they are online too. I've been hurt and wasted time with scammers who infiltrated online dating sites. They'll ask you for help and money while trying to take your heart too! Be careful and you'll win. My cousin's friend found a lovely gal online dating and they're on their way to getting married. This is what online dating is essentially for isn't it. Too bad we get attacked wherever we go.
