what are the best value dating sites?

WeMeet

We are creating a new dating app. At the begining it will be only available for Android users and it has some features that nobody else has. And the best of it: it'll be a free application. We will launch on May 2013. You can check it at getwemeet.com Maybe you are interested.

We did a study and we got some results::

We have realised that more than the half of the population of London are single. And we have realised that the main problems for that are the lack of available time, fear of rejection, shyness or not knowing what to say among others.
For that we are creating this phone application called WeMeet to help those people in a different way that nobody thought about it: take action in live.
For that reason (and our lack of funds) we created a campaign at GoFundMe. If you are an entrepreneur you can maybe be interested. Check out the different perks. And if you like the idea you can colaborate as well with small donations.
If you know someone that can help us we would appreciate if you let them know.
Thank you for your support! :-)

Just wanted to say that I have been a lurker on this threat for quite a while now...it's been interesting hearing everyone's stories, but I have remained permanently single. Although, due to a random conversation that I accepted initially due to boredom, things might be changing...I got talking to a 19 year old guy online. I am 26 and swore I would never date a younger guy, but when I initially got talking to him it was purely intended as a one-off conversation. Anyhow, turns out we seem to have a lot in common and when we met last weekend (after being given a nudge by my best friend) I found I really liked him - and being as picky as I am about guys, that's almost unheard of.

Anyhow, still early days but we've made plans to meet again this weekend and see how things go. Still in shock a bit, as he's not the kind of guy I ever saw myself falling for, but he is quite a catch and we share a lot of values, so keeping fingers crossed things work out.

Wheather you are a man or woman ALL these sites is somewhere around 99% spammers of whatever type you want to call them. I include every single site, not only free or in the UK but EVERYWHERE.
Its a near impossibility to find a decent person on any of them.
So forget them. Stop signing up and supporting both the sites and the spammers.
Go out, get a life and you just might meet a nice someone somewhere if you keep your eyes open. It could be in the park walking your dog or in the supermarket you bump into someone.
Good Luck
(Oh! and for those of you who think I dont know what I am talking about, Well 11 years on and being a victim of both sites and spammers and having some cop on I know from the old school of experiance :-)

And my experience is the opposite, yes I met a few spammers and scammers but in general I met and talked to a lot of lovely genuine people and I have met just as many scammers in real life as I ever have on any dating site.

Dating sites get around the fears of talking to others, with the ridiculous way the world has gone it can be difficult to strike up conversations with people for fear of being accused of something.

Least this way you both know why you are there but as with everything caution and care is required.

I met and married the most intelligent and beautiful woman and without this I would not have.

I've just been surfing on PoF and one woman had on her profile .......
....... ' To be honest i want to meet a man that has a few quid in his pocket'
Well she may be a mercenry but at least she's not a liar, anyone writing to her knows what she's after.

I gave up the dating sites too. From my experience i was looking for a relationship which i stated right from the start, all the men that contacted me said they were to, then after messaging said they wanted nothing heavy Friends With Benefits etc etc. Lots of timewasters who would say yes theyd like to meet me, then i wouldnt hear anything from them, then the ones i did meet werent for me at all and then there were younger men just splitting from their partners wanting fun, young men wanting older women, older men wanted younger women, liars, pictures of the men that were years out of date and married men (at least they were honest). I become very disolusioned, i think i was the only normal, stable, without baggage and in a good place in my life to date. The ones that i contacted and that contacted me were far from that stage in their lives. Ive met someone off line now.

My story is the same..wasted so much money and time and still havent met anyone :-(
Maybe, I will meet someone off-line too :-)

Joined PoF in Jan 2012, had one meet up and thought 'oooo' maybe this whole thing isn't for me so have avoided it for the last 18 months. Out of curiosity had a look again on Monday, so chatting with a few blokes now.

So here's a question - what is 'a few pounds overweight'? And why, when I've messaged my 'ideal match' is he not interested :rotfl:

I've said to my friend, don't know if I can actually do this internet dating thingy (confidence issues). And she said that compared to some of the people her brothers met on PoF, I'm quite a catch - but she would say that. She's my friend and wouldn't tell me I looked like a badgers arris :rotfl:

I am on pof, have been let down, stood up, messed about and more..

It has ruined my confidence and left me feeling very disappointed!

Just read your post PP please don't think it has anything to do with you, my friend has given up with these sights as they are full of complete t*****s I explained when I first posted on this thread that due to her not having a pc and being dyslexic into the bargain I did her posting, messages etc, this was in some ways a good idea for her as I was the buffer and things never got a chance to get smutty etc haha!! But I have to say my poor long suffering DH has sat on the sofa behind me tutting as I occasionally let out a shriek of laughter or an expletive or two!!

She had a few dates, and a couple of blokes she went out with for a couple of weeks, but they were all absolute rubbish, scheming, lying, tight (don't get me started on that one) and just downright wrong in the flippin head!!! She has tried lookin at the doing something sites with a mutual friend who is also single, but they have different tastes, so really haven't found anything to suit them both yet. Maybe you could try going down that route?

That sounds about right....thats the kinda blokes I have met too.
Even paid £100 to join a dating site and still got messed about :-(
I have decided to call it a day and just meet someone in normal circumstances.....in the meantime I am living my life, instead of spending all my precious time trying to meet someone on a screen...:)
