One thing I find interesting is how dating sites sell their services on a subscription basis. That is, they charge their clients a monthly fee for being a member of their site. The reason I find this interesting is because it suggests people are members of dating sites for months on end. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, but rather I believe it begs the question, why are you dating?
Are you trying to find your soul mate, that someone special? If so, surely you wouldn't want a monthly subscription, you'd never get the chance to get to know your dating partners properly. Rather, you'd probably have more success at a dating site which sells contact or email credits.
That way you would only spend your money when you needed to meet new people. You'd then have the luxury of getting to know them at your own pace without paying an extra cent. If you meet someone wonderful and it all works out, great. If down the track you realise the person you were dating was not for you, you can revisit the dating site months or even years later and use or buy your credits to meet new people. The point is though that you don't need to spend monthly fees in the meantime.
On the other hand, you may be in this to meet lots of new people who you can have lots of fun with. If you are a traveller in a new city, this may be just the thing for you. Or you may just enjoy this type of thing. The reason does not really matter. If this is what you are looking for, a subscription service is probably the right thing for you as with these memberships, you can typically contact an unlimited number of people.
Regardless of the type of dating you are into at the moment, the point of this article is to point out that the different membership structures give you different opportunities. So you need to think about the reason you are dating before you join a dating site. This will give you the opportunity to join the dating site whose payment structure suits your purpose.
I have found that most subscription based membership sites are of the adult nature. I don't believe this should hold you back though if you are looking to meet lots and lots of people. There are plenty of people on adult sites who are not fully into the promiscuous side of it. You just need to be clear about where your boundaries are and how fast you like to progress things.
One thing many people don't do when embarking on a dating journey, is think. This is what I always recommend people do, before they join any sites. Think about what you are looking for and then you can join an appropriate dating site, bringing you greater dating success and fulfilment. - 15437
