Free online dating is a great idea – but not all online dating sites are created equal.

Let’s take a look at both sides for a moment…

Pros

Free!

Cons

Most free online dating sites are suited to predators and undesirables, giving the opportunity to disguise their identities and their less than honest intentions behind the anonymous wall of the Internet. In fact, many people on free online dating sites tend to have multiple accounts for this reason.

There is a higher level of dishonesty found on the free online dating sites. This is not just in reference to what they might tell you, but also for the photos used in their profile, which are usually just found online.

There is a greater need to consider your personal safety with the free online dating sites.

A closing thought - while many dating sites say that they’re free, that’s not always the case. Be sure to investigate any site for its online reputation and credibility, especially when asking for your credit card info.
