2021 Dating Sites Reviews Single's Choice Award

Recipient of Gold
Tinder

Recipient of Silver
POF

Recipient of Bronze
eHarmony

This past year has been an interesting one from a dating perspective thanks to the pandemic that took hold of the world and the lock downs and social distancing that resulted from it. Most of the popular dating services found an increase in visitors especially during lockdown when people were forced to stay home. Seeing this trend, dating services that did not have a video feature rushed to get one added to their service to ensure daters had a way to interact virtually through live video streaming since meeting in real life was out. The funny thing with this is most services that have been around for the past 5 years probably had implemented video dating at one point, but had removed it by 2020 due to members not using it. While a lot of dating services did see increase numbers of visitors that did not necessarily mean increased revenue since online daters are looking to spend less during these uncertain times.

Right on schedule this year the 2021 Dating Sites Reviews Single's Choice Award poll went online October 1^st, 2020 and closed for voting on December 31^st, 2020. In 3 months, 334 visitors took time and cast their vote in the poll. This is down about 35% when compared to last year. I think part the reason for this was singles had decided to stay with the popular dating options instead of looking for new services thanks to the pandemic. For 2021, the poll asked the following question:

Which dating service would you recommend for the 2021 Dating Sites Reviews Single's Choice Award?

Voters get to choose 1 dating service from a selection of 10 of the top dating services in 2020. These services are selected by the Editors of DatingSitesReviews.com. For this award the dating service which received the most votes gets the Gold, second place gets Silver, and third place, Bronze.

There was a bit of shuffling this year in the winners. The top 3 had about a 4% spread in voters, while the bottom 7 also experienced a similar 4% difference.

The recipient of the 2021 Single's Choice Gold Award is Tinder. Tinder received over 16% of the votes, followed by POF at 15% (Silver), and eHarmony at almost 12% (Bronze). The rest of the dating services vote percentage fell between 10.5% and 6.9%.

1. Tinder
2. POF (Plenty of Fish)
3. eHarmony
