Date Online - the free Vs. Paid is there a differentiation? (spoiled rotten)

By Rob Howtwoforwebsites

  Online dating

The world of online dating is expanding at a extreme percentage. It as captivated individuals that are both very busy as well as lazy. Although there are hundreds of sites that you can use to experience this online community. When looking for an online dating website the following are foremost factors in determining if the website is going to be of use to you. Make sure you know what you want to get out of the online dating experience, is it to meet additional people to date or become friends with, or just to “connect”.

Critera that was looked upon

Each website reviewed was based out of ten stars, which was determined by using and viewing their website the catagories included visual appearance, navigation of site, Ease of search and filters, Real persons and not businesses trying to get you to buy credits for ‘private shows’, and lastly pricing.

Layout and Navigation of Website

Paysites

Match.com

This website has very vibrant colors that are cool to the gaze at but catchy enough to be eye candy. The visual appearance was very simple where everything was evenly spaced and easily accessable allowing an laid-back going online atmosphere that made me personally like the site very much. It was very engaging. The Navigation of Match.com was just as great as its visual appearance, the visual appearance coincides with the hustle of the site response time was fantastic.

4 out of 4 stars

AmericanSingles.com

This site’s visual layout is decent it certainly isn’t unpleasant but not very appealing either. Its just blah… The navigation is fairly austere I personally did not find any navigation errors or have any problems navigating through my account or other persons profiles.

2 1/2 out of 4 stars

Adultfriendfinder.com

This site’s visual appearance is very vibrant and has a good sexual appearance. Links were easy to navigate, there are plenty of pictures of women half naked, and provides that erotic appeal. This site is very much made for males in its visual appearance. I personally found this site had more ofa business feel and was more of a commercial business rather than a online dating site. The navigation was simple but required a bit of getting use to at first, such as the top bar of your account where it provides areas of the account which you can access (if you paid for it, or you can upgrade it to access it).

3 out of 4 stars

Free Sites

Okcupid.com

The sites visual appearance did not clutch my eye at first. However, after navigating the site and signing up for it I became very fond of it. The Okcupid color scheme reminds me of comic colors very blue and soft but loud to catch a potential customers eye. I would imagine that it would be more attractive to a female, rather than a male. This site has to be my favorite in color appearance as well as navigation ease.

4 out of 4 stars

Mingle2.com

This site has a plain white backround with a orange colored backround in a persons profile, it looks okay. Not my favorite site color appearance wise, the navigation is very simple. It is not hard to navigate through the site at all but has limited features. It does not allow users to have a different layout to convey themselves or have a range of questions so that a user can answer multiple questions to answer and explain more about themselves.

2 1/2 out of 4 stars

Datehookup.com

This is a very simple minded site that is rarely changed and appears to be in the making still. The site has a basic visual appearance and does not have anything special about it. Navigation is very straight forward nothing is difficult about it and even your 90 year old grandma can navigate through it with ease.

3 out of 4 stars

Real Persons

Paysites

Match.com

This site has a decent amount of people actively participating in the online community, I was impressed on how Match.com had its match finder based on personality traits. The site gave me at least twenty profiles that had some similiarities that could have been compatible with me. I was very impressed by the amount of people available however, most of them had been inactive for 3 months… Therefore I enjoyed their personality match and the available people who use to be active but was useless due to not being able to contact them because they no longer are subscribed.

2 out of 3 stars

AmericanSingles.com

AmericanSingles.com is a fairly active site that continuely has a few new members come in daily and is a site that you can use to look for people for free but to send them e-mails you must pay for the sites monthly subscription. This site also has a lot of inactive members that show up in your search results which becomes very combersome when they have been inactive longer than 3 months. To me that means they should not be shown, but it is a very common thing shown on every site that I am currently reviewing.

2 out of 3 stars

Adultfriendfinder.com

All I have to say about this site is winner. There are so many false members it is rediculous. I honestly wanted to vomit because being contacted by the individuals or bots was so rediculous it is hard to say anything good about this site. To me, if I am going to pay a monthly amount I better have 100% legitimate e-mails and not have to create a billion filters in my e-mail because of all the fake profiles.

0 out of 3 stars

Freesites

Okcupid.com

What a perfect site to set an example. Okcupid should be nominated an award of how great their site is and how amazing their matching of individuals. I am so happy that I was able to find a site that was complimentary of charge and better than any of the other sites that you had to pay a monthly due. I am so impressed by this site that I would issue them the award of best results and best subscribers on the net. I have had so much ‘luck’ on this site that I can’t say enough about it. Not only does the site have a wonderful color appearance and great navigation system it has a wonderful amount of nice and fun people that I have met and had much good fortune with. I am very impressed.

3 out of 3 stars

Mingle2.com

Once again Mingle2.com is an average site not great but not bad, it provides a decent amount of people that are active, I have not had any fake persons on this site, although I have not had much luck on this site maybe it requires a different finess.

2 out of 3 stars

Datehookup.com

Once again Datehookup.com is an average site not great but not bad, it provides a decent amount of people that are active, I have not had any sham persons on this site, although I have not had much luck on this site maybe it requires a different finess.

2 out of 3 stars

Pricing

I am a cheap person, I personally believe that something that is free of charge is always better especially if you are getting the same quality as if u were to be paying for something. Therefore I ranked all the pay sites 2 out of 3 stars and the free sites 3 out of 3.

Results

Match.com 8/10

To me a site that charges should have more specialty features that a free site does not have and that is not what I see in Match.com. What I see is a site that is dominately overcharging customers for what they have, unfortunately this is the case for most online dating sites. The only reason Match.com is a common dating website is because of its advertisements. But once again thats because they have a lot of cash flow which you are paying for.

Americansingles.com 6/10

Its to bad that Americansingles.com is a paysite because I feel sorry for its customers. From what I have experienced and have seen first hand, it does not provide a whole lot and of coarse on top of it charges a monthly fee. If you are going to go into online dating, I would recommend another site.

Adultfriendfinder.com 5/10

I think my score says it all but I am going to restate some simple experiences I have had on the site. First off they

charge for everything, it just seems like this site bleeds you of your funds yet you don’t get much back in return I would personally call this a rip-off but thats me. Not only does this site create an fantasy that you will meet people but it is sort of a swinger type of website even if there were real persons on it I think that it would be filled with some pretty dirty people.

Okcupid.com 9/10

This is the best site by far in my review. I believe that it gives its customers exactly what they want as well as provides a service to people that is obvious by anysite that I have come across. This site not only has a great visual appeal, great search filters and navigation around the site is very quick and simple. I am very awed of the condition of this site and can not say enough about it.

Mingle2.com 6 1/2 /10

First off this site is free. Free. Any site that is free of charge and provides a service is worth taking a look into in my option. I see this site as a place your profile here and check every couple of days just to “market” yourself to a variety of sites to increase your chances of getting dates or meeting people for whatever reasons.

Datehookup.com 8/10

This site is a simple well rounded simple to use site that is Free. Thats right Free and scores the same as Match.com. This site is very open minded easy to understand and is quick to setup. I can’t dream up why you wouldn’t give this site a go and promote yourself here as well.

Cleaning Up After Your Pet With A Pet Lover
s Shoe

By Don VanPelt

  I work in an animal shelter that houses dogs and cats. Being an extreme animal lover, my heart goes out to each and every animal. Part of my job involves caring for sick animals and cleaning up after them. Not too long ago I wore a brand new pair of sneakers to work, and I walked into one of the dog cages, slipped on dog extract and fell. Not only did I ruin my new pair of sixty dollar sneakers, but I hurt my elbow and shoulder as well.

Cleaning up after hundreds of cats and dogs is very difficult work, the pay is very low, but the reward of watching an animal find a new home makes every hour spent here worth it. Animals rely on us humans for so much; food, care, and love to name a few things. After my fall episode, I had to get something on my feet that wouldnt slip so easily and wouldnt cost a fortune, remember, I make just above minimum wage. Two of the ladies that work here wear a shoe specifically for working around animals. Its resistant to all pet related contaminants and they come with a slip resistant sole.

I guess I didnt think about appropriate footwear for working at a shelter too much, but this made sense. My only question was; how long will they last? Both ladies have been wearing theirs for over three years now, five days a week. That was enough to sell me. I have to tell you, if you own animals and have to clean up the yard after your dog, or you work on a farm and are around any kind of poultry, or work in any type of environment where you come in contact with pet contaminants, you need to have something special on your feet.

Boots might be a good choice, but if the weather is warm they will be hot, and they need to be 100% waterproof, and this can make them even hotter. These Muck Boots Muckster Pet Lovers Shoes keep your feet comfortable and dry, and wont degrade from any animal contaminants, and anyone who has spend any significant time around animals knows that fluids or other extract from animals is highly caustic, and I just dont want my feet or socks exposed to any of it, even though I cherish every animal.
