Online Dating Service Reviews: Complete Analysis of the 15 Most Popular Dating Sites
Before reading our dating service reviews, forget what you’ve ever heard about any of these sites (good or bad). Even if you’ve tried some of these sites and had mediocre results, throw that experience out the window. Many of our readers have tried some of the sites we recommend but were unable to meet women. After reading through our dating guide, they signed back up for those sites and had success.
Out of all the sites we tested, here are the best online dating services we tried out.

Conversely, some of our readers had previously read good things about the sites we don’t speak so highly of, tried those sites out only to come back to us and say, “maybe I should have listened to you!” We’re not in the business of bragging and trying to make ourselves feel good about being right. We’re in the business of helping you find a woman on an online dating service. There are three reasons you should completely forget what you previously knew about these dating sites…
- Most online dating service reviews are biased (ours are NOT).
- If you’ve previously failed to meet someone on a certain site, it may be due to your lack of understanding what it takes to meet someone on that specific site – not the site itself. We are going to teach you how to meet someone on each of the sites we recommend.
- Many dating sites have gotten worse over time (some have improved).
What you knew before may not be accurate today. All of our reviews were compiled in mid-late 2012. The 5 best online dating services are here to stay. They are owned and operated by those that clearly understand what single men and women are looking for in a dating service. Unfortunately, there are exactly ZERO other reliable dating sites. The rest are complete scams, which is pathetic considering there are more than 500 online dating sites.
We only reviewed the top online dating service websites in terms of number of members. There aren’t enough members on any other site for them to be given serious consideration. So we checked out the 15 most popular dating sites and came to our own conclusion about each site based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to…
- Male to female ratio
- Our ability to get a response to our emails from women and setup offline dates
- Overall quality of female and male members (how attractive, intelligent, and interesting they were)
- If the site was kept up-to-date (i.e. didn’t appear to be stuck in 1999)
The Dating Service Reviews Process and Our Results
We need to clear a few things up because you’re probably wondering how reliable our results are. First off, we began reviewing sites with absolutely NO biases towards or against any dating service site. Sure, we knew what the so-called “best online dating sites” were. All you have to do is perform a Google search and you’ll find a million alleged advice sites with lists of the “best online dating services”. What you may not know is most of those sites have something to gain financially from providing a positive review about those sites. So how can you trust their information?
Take a look around our website. There’s nothing for you to purchase on here. The reviews and dating guide are completely free to you. We simply wanted to create a website where men (and women) could go to get ACCURATE information about the most popular online dating services. What’s our motivation? We were just like you a couple of years ago – confused on how and where to meet women. We took our lumps, went through failure after failure before figuring things out. We’ve tested our strategies out MANY times and they do work…for ANYONE. But they won’t work on the 10 “Worst-Of” dating websites. In fact, NO strategy will work on those sites.
We are 2 guys – age 29 and 30 that live in 2 separate major cities in the US (Atlanta and San Francisco). We’re probably very similar to most of our readers – average looking, boring jobs, and minimal previous experience with women. It was kind of an accident that we discovered the secrets to meeting women online. It just sort of “happened”. Now we’re able to sign-up for dating service websites and setup dates with very little effort. It comes naturally for us now. And it will for you in a matter of DAYS.
The sites below ended up being a complete waste of time for online dating services.
WE RECOMMEND YOU STAY AWAY FROM THESE ONLINE DATING SERVICES
The sites below id not make our “best dating services” list. They are to be avoided, in our opinion.

The strategies and tactics implemented were the same on EACH website. It would have been completely unfair to change up the strategy for certain sites. On each site, we each sent out 1 introduction email per day to a lucky lady for 60 days (120 in total). We tracked how many responses we received to those emails. Upon response to an email, we then attempted to convince the woman to speak with us via Instant Messenger (or, if she preferred, by text message).
From there, we worked our magic by trying to charm the woman enough to want to setup an offline date with us. The “Dates Setup” column in the grid above includes ONLY dates with firm commitments. So, for example, if she did not agree to meet us at a specific date and time, it didn’t count. Date, time, and location had to be confirmed or we didn’t count it. The reason for that is we know how many women are total flakes and will agree to go on a date with a guy they’re not into without setting a specific date/time just to get him to shut up.
