Are Free matchmaking sites still worth the trouble?

free dating sites - are they worth it
If anyone says that money is not an issue when it comes to purchasing, buying etc they are probably not being truthful. The truth is, money is important to all of us and it is no different when it comes to spending it on online dating sites. Okay, maybe the figure for joining some of the top paid sites are like $30-$50 a month, which doesn’t seem a lot, but it is still money at the end of the day. What you should be asking yourself is.. if you spend the money will you be get what you are looking for? It’s a tough question because you don’t know the outcome only after you have parted with your $30. Her are my thoughts on this:
Ask your friends:
Your friends have probably joined some of the dating sites and they can offer you some very good feedback.
Forums on free dating sites:
Post questions on forums and other online sites that allow you to post your questions. Ask how others how they have found the site and how it has worked for them.
Join free dating sites:
I am not saying that just to promote free dating sites, but I think this bit is important for several reasons. If you are new to online dating, I suggest you try out the free dating sites. This can really get you up to speed with some of the unfamiliar features that you are not used to. For example, searching, saving searches, messaging and all the other nuances of online dating. The time you spend on a paid dating site will be wasted as you become familiar with all of the tools and this is where a free dating site can help you become acclimated with all the features.
Okay, so I am hinting that you would eventually need to join the paid dating sites, which is partly true. The important thing to remember is that not all sites are equal and this is even more so when it comes to free dating sites. Unfortunately, the fact that they are free means that you will get an extremely diverse range of websites that go from one end to another ie. from very bad to very good. One of the good things of Jumpdates.com apart from being the oldest free dating site still in existence today is that it has unique features that sets it apart from other free dating sites. This is the ‘activity’ meter that applies to all members of this dating site. Just like a rewards card in Safeway or rewards in credit cards, the site clocks up your points based on activity. For example, once you join and you start using the site, checking out profiles, messaging and reading forum boards, replying etc, you start accumulating points. This gives you a favorable position in the searches and anywhere else that other members are looking for their potential mates. Plus, this gives other members insights into your interests ie. forum subjects, your detailed profiles and more which is good news for all the members of the site. If you have not joined Jumpdates, I encourage you to do so. Have a wonderful day!
I have a lot to offer as a companion, as I am a very loving person that enjoy giving and receiving attention & affection. I am a honest and fair person. I love to laugh and I believe laughter is good for our souls! I’m looking for someone who is sweet & kind, I’m looking for a best friend & a lifetime partner. I like to travel & see new places or neat things. On a nice day you can usually find me working in the yard, planting flowers, landscaping, or doing something around my home. I enjoy music and will never pass up a slow dance with that special someone! Cooking is a favorite pastime of mine but I also enjoy dining out. Family is very important to me and I hope it is to you also..I am looking for someone who wants to be a team…2 is always better than 1! There are many other things I enjoy… fishing, camping, bike rides, quiet evenings, movies, cookouts, swimming, yard sales, and much more. I don’t have any children…however, not by choice. As I said …looking for love, not for looks. However, there must be an attraction for there to be a fire, being a kind person, I find, is attractive also. Any questions…just ask!
I am woman who has my faith as my foundation,my patience and giving self as the building blocks, and, as I have been told… a heart as big as Texas. I wish to love someone for the rest of my life. To wake up with him by my side, knowing that no matter what happens…I’ll be able to have his loving arms to come home to. To share everything with him.To talk to him about our own ideas, our dreams,the little things that make us laugh.. and the not so little things that we can’t help worrying about. I want to give him my love…a pure love -as a place that he can come to for acceptance or the simple comfort that silence brings when words left unspoken can still be understood. I want to grow old with him, to watch our life unfold, our dreams, one by one, to become our reality.I’m looking for someone who has a good sense of humor, is easy going, has a positive outlook, is open-minded and mature. I would describe myself as kind, thoughtful and compassionate. I was extremely shy when I was a little girl which I think has often resulted in some people mistakenly thinking I’m snobbish or aloof; now I’m just a little reserved until I get to know someone. I’m not a drama queen or a whiner. I like to laugh and I like to think my kids keep me young. I enjoy good books, movies and like to cook and bake. I enjoy nature and the outdoors but am not really athletic. I love music (pop and country, some stuff from other genres) and the arts in general. I tend to lead a fairly quiet life. I would prefer to snuggle on the couch with someone I care about than go to an amusement park (don’t really like crowds)
