By Joshua Pompey
Since I began helping women with online dating, I’ve been asked a whole lot of questions over the years.
What’s the best way to write a first email?
How many profile pictures should I have?
Joshua, why are you so handsome?
Okay, maybe not that last one. A man can dream though right?
But one of the most common questions I am often asked is, “What online site do you recommend I join?”
Well first and foremost, I’d like to preface this article with the advice that you never truly know what site love will find you on. I’ve worked with many clients who wound up finding love on a site that was not all that promising from the onset.
But with that said, after a decade of working in this industry, the following 3 sites would be my top recommendations.
Match.Com
The pro’s:
Match.Com has the biggest advantage in terms of sheer numbers, ways to initiate contact, and overall features. If you are looking to play the numbers game by going on as many quality dates as possible until you find that face to face chemistry, this site will bring you the highest possibility of success.
The cons:
Match.Com can sometimes be a victim of its own size. The never-ending amount of options to choose from can sometimes promote a culture of serial dating that creates the paradox of choice amongst its daters.
My overall recommendation:
Match.Com reigns supreme as the best overall choice for a dating site.
OkCupid
The Pro’s:
OkCupid is free, has a question and answer section that provides a much better indication of someones personality than other sites, has a lot less “noise” than Match.Com in regards to how you can contact someone, and has an extremely user friendly interface.
The Con’s:
At the time of this publication, if you are over 40 you will not find nearly as many quality matches as Match.Com or Eharmony. In addition, free sites are often filled with players or members who don’t take the process as seriously as paying sites.
Overall Recommendation: Match.Com is my first choice for women 35 and under. For women over 35 it reigns second to match.
Eharmony
The Pros:
A more extensive matchmaking algorithm, a pre-packaged messaging format, and a feature that only allows you to contact members that EHarmony considers you to be a match with.
The Cons:
A limited ability to message who you’d like to message, a very time consuming sign up process, and the platform does not feel nearly as user friendly as Match and OkCupid. In addition, common feedback from clients of mine has always been that there aren’t all that many attractive people in comparison to other sites.
Overall Recommendation:
I tell all my clients the same thing. 4 out of 5 people I speak to seem to hate this site with a passion. Yet, for every 4 people I meet that hate Eharmony, I seem to meet 1 person who found the love of their life. And for that reason, I still keep it in the top 3 recommendations, but buyer beware.
Should I join more than one site?
My recommendation would be to always sign up for 1 free site and 1 paying site.
Do niche sites work?
In most cases, no. They tend to be filled with a lot of fake profiles and do not have very active user bases. If you are Jewish, J-Date is great. And Christian Mingle, I’d give a strong, “meh” too. Other than that, I cannot confidently say I’d recommend any niche sites that I’ve encountered over the past 10 years.
But before you embark upon finding someone on any site…
