I started with Singlenets, since this is on the top of all reviews here. It only took me a few minutes to sign up, fast and easy, which is nice… There is a 30 days free trial, even nicer… what’s nicest is that I don’t even need a credit card to join…

I can just join (without paying) and search and communicate with the featured members (those who paid). So I am going to check it out before I start my 30 days trial. As a feature member, you can communicate with everyone…

I have gotten some matches and flirts right away, some are good matches (meaning good looking men), some are just ok.

I think whether you find someone is like hit and miss, the idea is to be out there looking… so I am going to post my profile and check out other sites as well…

The question is…how much of is true…and how much of it is fake?

Listen, as a free member, you can only email the people whose profiles are featured. So, if you feel a connection with someone who is not featured, you will have to upgrade to a paid subscription.

In my experience, there’s not much difference between the paid membership and the free one. Seriously, you can email and flirt with the other paid members for free. But here’s the kicker…they cannot email you.

That’s right. Only paid members can email you. There in lies the fine line.

Look, Singlesnet.com has no easy task of matching people. I don’t pretend to understand how they do it. However, since joining 1 ½ years ago – I’ve had over 2000 matches.

I suppose you could say that in the beginning I was bursting with excitement.

But, as time went by I felt as if I was scraping the bottom of the barrel. It’s true; the contacts I was making seemed to be leading me down the road to nowhere fast.

I’m not kidding. I felt so discouraged and had considered just giving up all together.

Now don’t get me wrong, I had few dates with some nice women, but each date missed the boat.

Here’s something else. A large portion of the matches I received were a poor match to what I was looking for. And then you know what happened? I got angry. I felt as if I was wasting my money. In short, I wanted a refund.

In addition to that, my matches were starting to arrive few and far in between.

It didn’t seem fair. I thought they were scamming me. Just think about it. Nearly 2000 matches and no love connection?

Moreover, I felt like a fool for trusting them.

Now at this point, just when I was ready to give up, I came across the profile of a woman on Singlesnet.com who seemed to fit the bill. I couldn’t resist, and I started communicating with her.

But get this…she was the real deal. Even though she was divorced, and originally I wasn’t looking for someone who had “baggage” she is the most genuine person I’ve ever met.

A few weeks ago, I asked her to marry me, and she said YES!

Now, don’t get me wrong – there were some bumps in the road. But remember – what relationship doesn’t have its ups and downs?

Here’s a way to think about it: Singlesnet.com is good way to get your feet wet in the online dating world. Don’t expect miracles…be patient.

In addition to that, knowing that it is one of the most visited websites on the net doesn’t hurt its reputation.

You see, after several failed relationships, I decided to give Singlesnet.com a try. Really, with the free trial, I had nothing to lose. They don’t ask for a credit card up front, so I felt pretty secure putting up a profile and flirting a little.

But still, in the back of my mind, I kept wondering, “What’s the catch.” Is anything ever actually FREE?

In any event, I’ve been a member for less than a month, and here is what you can expect.

When you sign up, you’ll answer some general questions about yourself. First off, you’ll create a screen name and password for yourself. They do not ask for you physical address, just your email address and your age.

Here’s some examples of the other questions you’ll be asked during registration:
· Do you like to exercise? What type?
· Do you like the outdoors? What do you like to do?
· How long was your last relationship?
· How often do you work out? Daily? Weekly? Rarely?
· Have you ever been married?
· Did you graduate from high school? What state?
· Did you graduate from college? What state?
· Do you like sports? What kinds?

All in all, this will take you no more than 5 minutes to complete. In fact, it’s simply point and click.

And guess what? You are not required to confirm your email address before you can begin searching.

After you’ve answered all the questions, you are taken to a page that gives you the option to view your online matches, let the system match you with people who are currently online, view the matches that Singlesnet.com has found for you, create a customized search, or search by screen name.

I clicked on all choices to see if there was a difference. Each time they matched me with nearly 500 people. Since the information they request is general, I didn’t expect to find the love of my life right off the bat.
When you look at someone’s profile, you have the option of sending emails, flirting, or just reading their profile.

By now you are probably wondering what a flirt is…it’s like an instant message. Here are your choices:
· Hey there!
· I like your essay.
· How are you?
· I would like to talk to you.
· I like your photo.

Just for the record…I found the catch. You can only email the “featured” members. If you try to email someone who is not featured, you’ll be immediately taken to a page showing you the subscriptions – 1 month, 3 month, and 12 months with prices ranging from $24.95 to $89.95.
