While all dating sites are supposed to help people find a mate, only a few of them really do the job. In order not to waste time and, moreover, not to face unpleasant situations and people, you need to carefully choose such resources.
Basic principles of choosing a dating site
It is not always appropriate to give preference to sites that are too large or too small. The former, as a rule, prefer to create a huge number of paid services and fill the pages with advertisements, which greatly complicates the process of using the resource. The second ones contain too few questionnaires, which means that the choice will be minimal.
It is important to keep in mind that some sites, unfortunately, even use such "black" methods as creating hundreds of fake profiles designed to attract users. You can find out about such things from the reviews.
Be sure to pay attention to the design features of the site, navigation, titles and content of sections. If the site is too bright, has an annoying design, if you cannot understand its navigation and do not understand the meaning of most of the sections, it is better to close the page and find a better option. The same applies to resources with poor content, where some of the links simply do not work. And, of course, this applies to sites so crowded with ads that they become difficult and frustrating to use.
Check if it is easy to get feedback from the administration. Unfortunately, there are many sites on which it is impossible to protect yourself from rudeness, vulgarity of users, indecent offers and even threats, since the owners of the portal do not listen to their customers and do not block violators. You shouldn't expect pleasant communication in such cases.
Additional benefits
A good dating site should allow people to protect their profiles from unwanted views. In such cases, you can only allow authorized users with a photo to view photos and data. It is also important that the site does not provide open access to your phone number, email address.
Even during registration, you will be able to estimate how many questions you have to answer and how many of them you dislike. If you have to give too much information about yourself, it can be frustrating.
You should also pay attention to additional bonuses. This can be an opportunity to give gifts for free (or receive "site currency" for their purchase without giving real money), the presence of special compatibility tests that can be passed at will, a variety of contests and games for users, blog systems and forums on which people can share their problems or find not only lovers, but also friends.
