Reply:I think I tried about all of them in the past when I was single. I found them all to be filled with pretentious people with unrealistic expectations. I'm sure that not all of those subscribers are like that but I just didn't have the time or patience to filter thru every single one of them. It's really hard to pick from a list those qualities you like in a person and even more difficult to accurately describe yourself. I think it's a good money-maker for someone trying to provide a helpful service but It just didn't work for me.
Reply:I met my wife on Match.com. I liked that we were able to pick the criteria in a mate we were looking for. We both had a child from previous marriages and were both looking for someone with a child so we could gauge what type of parent they were. We were both looking for someone who didn't drink or smoke too, so it was very easy to weed people out. We just had our first baby together 5 months ago. My wife is the love of my live and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have found her. She is an excellent mother to my son who we have full-time and you would never know that my step-daughter and son weren't real siblings. My sister-in-law also found her true love over the internet too. I don't understand why people think you've less likely to be lied to in person than over the net. Just make sure you get a good picture of them and like them for who they are.

Reply:Match.com and Yahoo Personals are the top two. In order to send messages you will have to pay. Don't try eharmony, they charge way to much. There are a lot of free sites to. It is safe but use your best judgement when contacting people.
Reply:CountryMatch.com, MyCountryMatch.com, HorseLoversConnection.com, WesternMatch.com, CountrySinglesOnLine.com are some other great dating/singles sites if your into country folk or (cowboys and cowgirls).





I personally have a profile on CountryMatch.com.
