Dating Services

Back in June 2007, a lawsuit was filed against True.com (TrueBeginnings) by Thomas Wong at the District Court of Dallas County, Texas. Mr. Wong at that time (and I believe he still is) was represented by the law firms Tycko & Zavareei LLP and Crews, Shepherd & McCarty LLP. The lawsuit is primarily about the billing and renewal practices of True.com and the difficulties members have in canceling their accounts.

The Online Dating Insider has posted new information regarding this lawsuit. True.com’s motion for summary judgment was denied on December 3rd, 2008 and Mr. Wong's class action lawsuit will now be able to move forward.

MillionaireMatch.com now displays a member count on their homepage. As of writing, there are 1,071,634 member profiles available on this dating service. Since it is free to place a lifetime ad at MillionaireMatch.com, this number shouldn't be confused with the number of active members. The number being displayed is the number of members who have joined MillionaireMatch.com since it started, which was around 2001. Active members refers to members who routinely log in and use the site. Unfortunately there is no standard measurement for this so some dating sites count an active member as someone who has logged in within 2 years while others count a member as active when someone logs in at least once a month.

While this number is not the number of active members it still represents a large number of profiles. This probably means that Millionaire Match has tens of thousands active members. You should also remember that all free members can reply to a paid members email so this can greatly increase your chances of finding a match when you compare Millionaire Match to other Sugar Daddy dating sites.

For the second year in a row MillionaireMatch.com is the recipient of the Editor's Top Pick - Wealthy Award. This dating site is the most popular wealthy matchmaking site that we know of. This is in large part due to all of the exposure this online dating site has received on TV and news print over the last couple of years. They have been featured and talked about on CNN and daytime talk shows from all 3 major networks, ABC, CBS and NBC.

There are two main features that makes Millionaire Match stand out from the rest in their dating niche. First is they allow Guest members (Free) to reply to emails. This means as a paying member anyone can reply to your emails and not just other paying members. This greatly increases your chance of success since all members can reply to messages . The other feature which makes this dating site more popular than other Sugar Daddy dating services is, they will verify up to 5 different attributes of a members profile. All the member has to do is send in the proper documentation. This means income level, occupation, education, photo and age can be verified. For a dating site that promotes wealthy singles, this takes out the guess work of wondering if someone has just lied about their successes. If you are unsure about someone's credentials and they are not verified, then you can just move on.

The most important aspect of MillionaireMatch.com is that it offers wealthy singles and singles looking for someone who has done well financially in life, a large number of high quality members. This dating service has over 1 million members since it's debut.
