S/O Free Dating sites:

in Starting Over

So, I was talking with my Doctor yesterday about dating, etc. (She's seriously awesome and we spent a half hour past my appointment chatting about dogs and relationships and dating) and she said that she's heard OK Cupid and Plenty of Fish were supposed to be pretty good, even though they're free...

 ...honestly they kind of skeeve me out. Am I weird to think this? I don't know why, but I guess I (probably incorrectly) assume tha if you pay for it, it might have a bit more legitimacy to it? Has anyone had a bad experience doing these?

    Skip PlentyofFish, try OkCupid.

    In my area, OkCupid was a great site with lots of nice guys. I'm still dating one I met off of it.

    I've heard most people say that in any area, PlentyofFish has lots of creeps.

    I found the same crowd on POF was also on the paid sites so I was wasting time and money. So I stuck with POF and weeded through the creeps. I was very picky and almost over looked Z's profile because it had military and just looking for a hang out partner. His photo didn't read creepy so I emailed him on a "oh what the heck". Turns out the hang out was because he just got here was only here until dec. After we started dating he got orders for here so he's here another 3 yrs.

    Depends on your geo area.  They are good in different parts.  I didn't have luck on POF but did on OKC.  I know friends a few years older than me who had the opposite luck in my town.  I'd try both, what's the harm if they're free?

    I met my XBF on OKC.  We weren't long-term compatible, but he was a great guy.
    This is my siggy.
