Top 10 Online Dating Sites Review 2016

1) Match.com offers the largest set of features, has the most active members, and is constantly innovating in the world of online dating. Since its inception in 1995, match.com has pioneered this hi-tech way of meeting people, attracting singles across the world of all ages and income levels. For do-it-yourself dating, you won’t find a better site.

--> Pros
The dating pool of Match.com is higher than any other site.

Cons
The profile takes a long time to create.

Verdict
Match.com is the best online dating service available.    


2) eHarmony offers a managed, personality inventory-based approach to online dating. You may learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible and have the opportunity to share the information with matches selected for you by eHarmony. With an ongoing national ad campaign, a well-developed site, and consistent focus on lasting relationship results, eHarmony ranks high for excellence in this category.

Pros
eHarmony has a detailed profile-making process to help you better match with singles.

Cons
If by the end of the profile process eHarmony can’t find matches for you, you can’t do anything else on the website.

Verdict
For a detailed and on-the-dot match, eHarmony is a great service.   

3) PerfectMatch emphasizes personality and values matching above all: what’s inside is what counts. Matching is based on a proprietary system called the Duet Analysis, developed by Dr. Pepper Schwartz. This online dating site provides a novel approach with its multiple choice ice breakers and relationship analysis system, but there just aren’t enough members to make a good match likely.

Pros
Perfectmatch has a quality matching system which provides a variety of possibilities.

Cons
The dating pool is more limited than others.

Verdict
PerfectMatch is a site geared more toward an older age group with a more selective outlook.   

4) Chemistry.com offers more than any other guided dating site. The online dating giant Match.com developed Chemistry as its entry into the guided online dating market, posing growing competition for e-Harmony. Chemistry provides not only guided communication online, but tools for meeting offline and receiving valuable feedback. Today, the Chemistry dating pool is limited, but as the word spreads, it is sure to expand.

Pros
Chemistry provides high quality support.

Cons
Chemistry doesn’t let you do many things on your own.

Verdict
For beginning or nervous online daters, this is the ideal site.    

5) JDate is the largest online dating site tailored to Jewish singles. It’s nicely designed, uses clever icons for tracking communication, and adds instant messaging to the mix. JDate offers complementary services like speed dating parties to make finding a match even more likely.

Pros
JDate has the highest number of Jewish singles available.

Cons
Not all members of JDate are Jewish.

Verdict
For someone looking for a Jewish life partner, this is the perfect site.   

6) Spark is an up to date online dating site which packs it all onto the front page. See matches, summary of activity both by you and by interested members, and your profile. How do they get so much on the home page? It’s all in the icons. Once you learn their meaning, you can navigate easily. Spark is a solid site for online dating, but does not have the membership of some of the higher ranked sites.
   

7) Plentyoffish may not be pretty, but it’s fun. Plentyoffish offers more ways to gauge members than any other dating site. You’ll find the one-man show behind this site takes full advantage of online dating site technology. Plentyoffish is modified frequently, new features appear regularly, and members are matched not only on what they say they’re looking for, but how they browse on Plentyoffish.

Pros
Creating a profile on plenty of fish is easier and can be done quicker than most sites.

Cons
Matches are less specific and not based on capability as much as location.

Verdict
For a fun time Plenty of Fish is good, but if you are looking to find a relationship you might want to try somewhere else.   


8) True differentiates itself as the only online dating site to routinely conduct background searches to uncover felons and members who claim to be single but are married. True offers a battery of personality tests followed with a matching function based on the results.  Site clutter, misleading communication from True, and a smaller membership than comparable sites, places True near the bottom of TopTenREVIEWS’ online dating site rankings.

Pros
True is easy to navigate through, which makes it easier to search for matches.

Cons
The dating pool is a bit limited compared to other sites.

Verdict
True is not a widely used as some of the other sites and therefore, if you are looking for a variety of matches you might want to look somewhere else.   

9) Singlesnet is easy to navigate with clear page layouts. Once registered, you’ll get an inflated sense of success because your inbox will be flooded with messages. Don’t get too excited: They are mostly automatic match alerts from Singlesnet and alerts on “who’s viewed your profile.” But the winks and messages will come. You can’t blame them for starting you off with a bang.

Pros
The communication is quick and effective.

Cons
There is no set matching criteria.

Verdict
For quick communication singlesnet is good, but a sure match is not guaranteed.   

10) Matchmaker is an adequate online dating site with a simple interface, multiple ways to search, and two ways to communicate. This is one of the smaller sites with the oldest average age of visitor profiles.

Pros
Matchmaker’s profile creation is much quicker than others, enabling you to view matches quickly.

Cons
Matchmaker does not provide personality matches.

Verdict
Matchmaker is a site only to be used if you want to figure out if you are compatible with others on your own.
