What is the best Dating Web Site?

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Friday, June 11 2004 @ 11:13 pm

I used match.com for about 3 months (I had used matchmaker in the past) before I was lucky enough to meet a man with whom I connected successfully. Based on my experience, any woman with a detailed profile that displays at least some intelligence, humor, and sincerity will result in gobs of emails in her inbox. I'm neither the best looking woman in the world, nor the most carefree, but I averaged 30-50 emails per week.

Chances are, many women using online dating services are professionals who work to support themselves and don't have a lot of time. I had to make some hard choices when I had time to open my Match Mail; however, I tried to send at least a thank you for writing message if I was not interested. I'm not complaining, for I believe that is what you get if you decide to join a HUGE online dating system such as Match.com. Most people will agree that maintaining even the most basic hello--what's your name? dialogues with every person who contacts you can be too much.

So as to not leave you high-and-dry with a bunch of complaints and testimonials, let me give you some advice.

(1) Let a trusted female friend or co-worker (not at work) read your profile - gather her thoughts and recommendations.

(2) This one can be a little scary for some people to do, but I encourage you to try it. Ask for detailed feedback on your profile - not just a rating (if the service offers one). Your willingness to accept advice and to make change, if necessary, may impress the right lady.

(3) Keep in mind the following: "Going out" in cyberspace is typically similar to the in-person dating scene. Men still seem to get stuck making the initial contacts. The online thing does make it a little easier for the woman to initiate contact, but she's usually trying to answser all her mail. In addition to this, I, personally, have found that that men aren't all that responsive to the female's initiation. Maybe the guys I tried to contact were relying more on tradition.

(4) If, after ONE message, you don't hear back from the ladies whose profiles truly interest you, try sending a just-making-sure-you-got-my-first-message email. Keep it short and sweet and free of why-haven't-you-emailed-me? questions. Admittedly, it is easy to forget who is who on these sits. Give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she just missed your email. Remember: 2 is persistent and sweet; 3 or more messages start to become creepy. You don't want to be on her blocked senders list, do you?

(5) Try to keep up your confidence level and let it shine through your profile and email messages. Don't assume (and certainly don't write it) that she didn't email you back because you are unattractive or uninteresting, etc. Women appreciate appropriate levels of confidence. Those who are attracted to men who pitty themselves might be more interested in the rescue than the relationship. Chances are, you already have a mom. You don't need another one.

I hope these help. Please know that I wish you luck. We all need it on the journey to finding a great companion.

This review has many good points.
I am VERY frustrated. I was using Match.com
and I connected with 3 guys. Two of them were really positive contacts. Then my phone freaked out and it took me a month to get it working again. But now, Match.com has changed and I can’t find them.
