As the name suggests, 100bestdatingsites.com is a list of dating services rated for usability and features. The dating sites are rated based on ease-of-use, honest business practices, etc. Personally, I stuck with the best known companies when dating online because I believed this would give me the best odds (I assumed the best known would have the most members). Regardless, this site does offer a lot of value as he has ensured the validatity of each service (i.e., it’s not [...]

When my wife and I first started dating, we had joked about making up a story on how we met since we were unsure how acceptable online dating would be. We actually tried it out a few times: my favorite was telling friends we met while she was operating a lemonade stand (she had been out of work when we first met).

My hope is that others who experience the issues I had might find this post and (hopefully) will be able to avoid the hassle I went through!

Earlier this week when reviewing dating profiles in preparation for our “photo shoot”, I had used my wife’s old online dating account to log in so I could see what other people’s pictures were like. She checked her email a few hours later that afternoon and found she had communication from someone at the dating site! This was surprising for two reasons:

Today we got together with a friend who needed some help with his dating profile. In particular, he didn’t have any photographs that he felt were appropriate for his purpose. The best photos he had always seemed to involve his arm around a woman and he wanted to avoid posting those (a wise decision I suspect). My wife is currently taking photography classes so it seemed to work out perfectly: he gets new pictures that won’t put-off potential dates and [...]
