Free Dating Sites

I guess this message is clear. Don’t drink and message. Now this doesn’t mean stay away from the liquor and messaging if once you’ve really gotten to know someone. By all means, it could even be a little fun and amusing but if you really like a guy or girl but have only exchanged messages once or twice, are drunk as a stump then don’t log onto any of the free dating sites you’ve joined, ahh heck just stay away from free dating all together cause if you say some thing rather stupid or a little confusing you could ruin the whole deal.

The whole idea of the messaging system in free dating sites, if you’re a serious looker is

1. to find someone special
2. to strut your stuff and prove that you are indeed a worthy catch
3. to ultimately (or intimately) meet someone and share some good times together
4. to hopefully make it work and last

Do you want to get behind the wheel when you’re sloshlingly drunk? Do you want to write an exam when you’ve fallen off the wagon? Do you want to be totally hammered when you’re asking your girl or boyfriend to marry you? Probably not and for the same reason, you won’t want to be totally intoxicated when you’re trying to impress the opposite sex on free dating sites.

Yes free dating sites are free but that doesn’t mean love comes cheap. If you’re truly interested in meeting that special someone on a free dating site then your best bet is to keep your head out of the bottle until you’ve at least built up a good and trusting relationship with the person you’re interested in – and your free dating experiences will become more successful.

Little do many people who join free dating sites understand that a least 60% of these sites are financially supported by ads – ads which are usually related to none other than ‘paid dating sites‘. Isn’t that interesting? It is but it totally makes sense.

Why? Well where else would a paid dating site want to advertise? Of course there are tons of other websites that a paid dating site could advertise on but a free dating site is the cream of the crop. Successful free dating sites usually have thousands of members viewing hundreds if pages a day so it only makes sense to send a little advertising spend their way. We can safely assume that although the member has signed up for a free dating site, a good portion of thoses members will click the ads and sign up at a paid one. For paid dating sites, that one email and that one signup is worth it.

So what’s my point? Well, I’ve noticed that a lot of marketers for free dating sites have taken the liberty to “diss” paid dating sites. It seems some advertisers are asking questions like where is the respect to the people who make the owners of free dating sites rich?

It dawned on me. Being the owner of a free dating site too, I should be careful. There really is no need to take a stab at paid dating sites when 90% of the ads on my site come from them. If they wanted to they could just pull their ads. Now what good would that do? And where would my non-paying members go?
