Awards

Recipient
eHarmony

eHarmony is the winner of the Editor's Top Pick - Match System award for 2021. In recent years this category has a seen a reduction of dating services who meet the criteria to be considered. The reason is the pendulum seems to have shifted with the increased popularity of dating apps. Casual dating with swiping through endless photos is on the rise (emphasizing quantity) while long-term relationships and in depth profiles is falling (quality). The result of this is matching algorithms do not have to be nearly as complex since so little profile information exists about members. Thanks to dating services like eHarmony, matching based on compatibility is still important and a major focus of their dating service.

Christian Mingle

The Top Pick - Christian Award recipient for 2021 is Christian Mingle. Christian Mingle is one of the original Christian dating services and has been in business for over 15 years and have served over 16 million members.

It is October so time to get started on planning the 14^th annual Dating Sites Reviews Choice Awards.

The first item on our agenda is to setup the 2021 Single's Choice Award poll. This poll asks the voter which of the top 10 most popular dating services in North America would they recommend. In the early years of the awards we saw this dating service list that the voter can choose from fluctuate from year to year, but since then the industry has matured as the major players in the market have been defined. This means for the last few years our list of dating services to vote on for this award has not changed much. While every year there are a lot of new dating apps and sites which go live, very few ever make it long due to the stiff competition and large marketing budgets of the major dating services. It’s very hard to get that initial viral push going of getting new users to join a dating service.

The Single's Choice Award, which is awarded on Valentine’s Day, takes the results of the poll to determine the top 3 dating services as voted on by our visitors. Awarded services are marked as such on Dating Sites Reviews and is used by our visitors in the coming year to help them determine which dating service(s) they want to try out.

So what dating service worked for you best in 2020 that you would like to recommend? Let us know by casting your vote in the Single Choice Award:
