The free dating war
What is the ‘free dating war’ you maybe asking yourself? Well, its a continued war that is going on behind the scenes of the internet from online dating sites all clamoring to get your attention. However, it is important for the many online singles to understand some of the tactics employed by these sites to lure you into signing up with them.
The first important fact is that some of the dating websites will not be up-front with regards to the costs associated with signing up to their membership plan. Their initial aim is to get you signed up and show you the members they have available for you to contact them and when you want to message a profile that you like, they will throw up a membership plan page. These online companies will rarely offer you the opportunity to browse the profiles that is available on their site prior to signing up with them. Once you are signed up to them, they may send potential matches based on the information you provided to them when you registered on the site.
With regards to the dating sites that are free, one of the early adopters Jumpdates.com made available to the public a searchable database and even had a newsletter where people could receive matches without joining the site. However, ‘scraping’ tools used by inconspicuous websites designed to ‘lift’ profiles from the dating sites have forced many of them to close off the ‘public view’ of the membership database. You may have heard of a case last year when a dating company was accused of scraping hundreds of thousands of Facebook profiles.
There are primarily two types of online dating categories, paid subscriptions based sites and of course the free dating sites. Jumpdates has completed an extensive analysis and review of all these major sites including many that you probably have not heard of. Included in the unbiased reviews are some major international sites that have gone from strength to strength. You don’t have to be too concerned with this dating war that is going on behind the scenes. Your best bet is to review a handful of sites before carefully hand-picking the sites that you want to join and use.

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)
