Recommended adult dating and online dating service
Meeting women without leaving the house
Many people have asked us which online dating service we recommend. There are a bunch to choose from -- and each of them attract a different demographic. Online dating is a great way to meet people from different circles who you wouldn't normally run into. Online dating is the 21st century's singles bar.
Here are our recommendations on online dating services. Keep in mind this information is based on our personal experiences and opinions. Your mileage may vary.
Adult Friend Finder
Highly recommended! sign up here
This service focuses on adults and primarily consists of people looking for a discreet encounter, a fling or a little fun on the weekend. You might meet the woman of your dreams here, but you're more likely to just get laid. For this reason, this adult dating service is not for the faint of heart. Free advice: be honest about exactly what you want. If you're looking for someone to fool around with on Wednesday nights after bowling, just say that. Honesty keeps everything much simpler.
Now, log in and hold onto your pants.
Spring Street Networks
As personal ad provider to such great websites as Esquire, Salon.com, Nerve and Bust, Spring Street Networks is the hippest of the bunch. There are a lot of interesting and beautiful people online here. This cool factor has attracted a growing legion of posers who threaten to swing the balance from really cool to foppish vampire-wannabes. Our #2 choice, while still hanging onto its aura of awesome.
eHarmony
This website mostly consists of the kind of people who are looking hard for someone to settle down with. If you've seen their TV commercials, you know what we're talking about -- they tend to feature vaguely attractive women who've hooked up with doughy, ridiculous-looking guys who look embarassed and shuffle their feet a lot.
If you're not looking for a long-term relationship, steer clear. Be forewarned -- the women on this site are there for one reason: to get married and have babies.
True
The latest and greatest of the online dating services, True promises to prosecute married people who sign up looking for a little fun. For this reason, most of the women on this service have usernames that are variations on "sweet," "smile," "cute" and even "heart." So if you're in search of the vulnerable, women whose soul you could crush like a kitten, here you go. On the other hand, they also claim to do background checks on everyone who signs up. So felons and sex offenders aren't allowed, either.
By the way, as far as we know, they've never prosecuted anyone. At least not yet.
Date.com
This is your middle-of-the-road online dating service. Nothing particularly special here, nothing particularly awful.
American Singles
Perfectly average in every way. Go ahead and try it out if you like.
Yahoo! personals
No. No. No. Yahoo! personals are responsible for more online dates than any other place on the entire web. We're not even going to give you a link -- we're that serious.
