Do You Really Think A Completely Free Online Dating Service Is Better Than A Paid Online Dating Service? Let Us Evaluate
We have all got accustomed to having things free in life. However, life is not so merciful. Online dating is also available either freely or for a price. There may be times when an online dating site needs to boost its image and popularity and to rope in more subscribers may allow free access for a certain duration but once the demand is fulfilled they stop all the free services. At such times you feel helpless. But do you really think a completely free online dating service is better than a paid online dating service? Let us evaluate.
We are not here to promote or degrade the online dating sites based on their status. We shall bring forth a few debatable points to give you a better perspective and then the choice is entirely yours.
Safety measures of paid online dating sites versus that of free sites
Everybody knows by now that it is better to register in a paid site rather than a free site to avoid any kind of risks. Paid sites are recommended by family and friends to you but just a thought; do you think that the paid sites would not have the mischief mongers or people with wrong intentions just as the free sites? Agreed the number may be more in the free sites due to its easy accessibility but what if by chance you do come across one of those with evil designs in the paid site and you do not even know about them?
Do paid sites have more members with different preferences than the free sites?
When you register in these paid online dating sites you are informed that there is a greater variety of choices as you will get more members catering to your requirements than you would in the free sites. But try and think. In a small place which has a very small percentage of people who have the same views as you, do you think the paid sites would be able to give you more choices than the free sites? What guarantee is there that the people found in the free sites will not be the only ones you find in the paid sites as well?
Trial periods could be misleading
Some online dating sites offer free trial periods where you can use the services for a certain time. After the expiry of the trial period you need to pay a fee to browse more profiles. Supposing you do try this trial period and thereafter enroll as one of their subscribers. Once you pay these sites it is also possible that the choices may not be that many or not as good as you thought it to be. There could be chances of you not being able to find your dream date even after registering. And you can be assured that you will not be given a refund. After much scouring you realize that the number of profiles is same as that of the free sites.
