The truths and the myths of totally free dating & match sitesThe truths and the myths of totally free dating & match sites

I have been searching for good online dating sites with some real good features some years back I can not find a dating site which was absolutely free and it had all the features a dating site should have and to be true I couldn’t find one at that time. The only option available those days was to pay and use that dating site at your indiscretion. It was something like going for a blind date and due to this more often than not the user suffered and didn’t achieved the results he wanted.

But there has been a certain change in the trend in recent years as more and more dating sites are coming on the internet. They now woo you by giving you a free trial period of some days or they will give you a free package where you can just list yourself and have some features available to you .If you liked the site you can upgrade yourself further and access all the features that the site is providing. This has already worked wonders for sites like friend finder and some other sites. On these sites it just happens that women just enlists herself and men can send them messages when they upgrade but this also doesn’t fulfill my desire to rate this a very good way

There is a new trend emerging and that’s what I call a totally free dating site. And I was astonished to see these websites as they did had all the features I wanted in a dating site and they were absolutely free. To become a member you didn’t had to buy a membership, refer someone or have a free trial and then upgrade. Its Free in all sense just become a member by registering there and start making pals

And with that are my favorite totally free dating sites, with a quick explanation as to why they've prospered, and why you should join.

Datingsmatches
I have been a member of this site since it opened some days back and I would never leave this site. It has some great features that i think everybody wants in a dating site. They some great features like forums (where u can discuss about just anything), you also have a blog section. Then there is a chat and IM section where you can send instant message to anyone who is online or send him a message. You are also sent weekly matching results for you. You can upload your pictures and decide who can see them and even protect them with a password and give it to only those whom you want to. There are many more features and this is what I call a totally free dating site

CasualKiss
This is another good site. Not only does CK (also known as CampusKiss) give members free access, you also get a blog, access to some wild message boards, daily horoscopes (created by members), "confessions" (where people answer Truth-or-Dare questions), and live video chat. Plus, you can change your prefered color scheme (both site-wide and with your own profile), link to friends in a MySpace-like net, take the purity test and join groups. Their Spam feature is pretty robust to boot. I've still found nothing that compares to this tongue-in-cheek, totally free dating site.

OkCupid
This I came to know through a search in google. The reason I kept using the site though were the tests - thousands and thousands of them. The OkCupid works similarly to eHarmony, where you answer questions that determine how compatible you are with other users. It differs from eHarmony greatly however, in that OkCupid users create the questions (and therefore the matching mechanisms) and it's a totally free dating site. Add some social networking aspects and fun matching criteria (my profile tells me I am "less ambitious, more artsy, more literary and less trusting" than other women my age) and the site is a huge hit.
