What is an Not Recommended Category?
We strive to provide positive, helpful reviews for each online dating service. However, when our members experience repeated challenges with certain services or products, we can’t recommend those sites. So if you find a "Stop" icon next to the summary of a dating service or product listed, and you really still want to try out the service we recommend you think twice about it.
Please check out our full list of dating service reviews for other recommendations.
How does our list work for the Not Recommended Category?
These are reviews of services or products that previously met our minimum criteria for a review, but at this point currently do not. Instead of removing the reviews we moved them to this category. Each review listed above has been updated to include the date it was moved and the reason why. All content shown with these reviews reflects are thoughts at the time it was last updated, and not what we would currently write about the service.
Each of our reviewed product and services also allows for submitted reviews and ratings by our readers. Each user review contains a rating based on a possible total of five stars and a description. With the name of the services and products listed above you will find the Editor rating (if one was given at the time the review was written) along with the average user rating.
