This entry is part [part not set] of 3 in the series Online Dating

Internet has moved into our offices, homes, hearts… So naturally, the dating websites are sprouting online, like mushrooms after the rain. There are so many of them out there, from expensive ones claiming to have a proven formula based on scientific research of complementing personality traits, to those utterly bizarre in every way. The dating websites today  attend to every ethnicity, special interest, fetish, even financial aspirations of their members.

But whatever happened to good old FUN? Isn’t it still the main ingredient of successful dating? If you agree with me on that, then this dating list is for you!

Best Dating Sites

  1. Plenty of Fish

    With over 3 million active daily users, POF is one of the leading free dating sites. After taking their Chemistry Test you will be matched with online daters that should meet your emotional needs. This is one of the most active dating sites, and probably the best place to meet many new people.

  3. TypeTango

    Here is a completely free dating site with an intelligent approach. It is a platform for people to meet according to their MBTI type. Myers Briggs Type Indicator, the advanced testing system based on personality theory was originally developed by Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s, and expanded in 1940s by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers. To date, it has been the world’s most widely used personality assessment tool because it focuses on two essential factors: personality traits and personal values.

    Due to its popularity, one can easily find numerous resources on MBTI online. Although you need to pay to have the official test done, available online are many free versions to find out what your personality type is. TypeTango has a resources page with links to such sites, but does not feature the test itself. Rather, it serves as an online community where people can meet each other according to their personality type.

  5. OkCupid

    With over 3.5M active members worldwide, OkCupid is definitely a main-stream dating site. It deserves to be on this list though for its ultimately fun approach to dating, if not for the mere fact that it’s 100% free.

    What makes OkCupid different from other dating sites is that it does not employ third party professional personality assessment tools. Instead, it relies on its own dating community to submit their questions and matches users based on their response to these questions. With so many users, the questions never end. OkCupid uses its patent-pending algorithm to calculate match percentages based on answered questions.

  6. eHarmony

    eHarmony is another main-stream dating website, generally tending to a more mature audience (35+). eHarmony counts impressive 33 million members, with an average of 271 eHarmony members in the U.S. marry every day.

    Compatibility is the essential focus at eHarmony. They believe that it’s not about matching people who like certain hobbies; rather, it’s about compatibility. eHarmony aims to differentiate its matching service by what it calls a scientific approach to a deeply personal and emotional process. So how does it work in practice? Prospective eHarmony members complete a  questionnaire that purports to determine characteristics, beliefs, values, emotional health and skills. Using matching algorithms the company matches the members with compatible users, focusing on people’s core traits and values to replicate the traits of happy couples.

  7. The Four Answers

    The Four Answers also has very impressive results when it comes to matching couples compatibility. However, they do this without lengthy questionnaires. Using numerology (birth date only) they found a way to define four cornerstone emotional traits of a personality. Those are: communication style, activity level, financial logic, and sexual response.

    The many combinations of the traits produce what is known as the Matrix.  The Matrix is accessed by each person’s birth date.  There are many ways to profile individual personalities, however, the unique value of The Four Answers is its ability to map the dynamics of a relationship by comparing the alignment of two people for each of the four traits.

The cool thing about these NYC based dating services is they offer all of their singles events based on themes. Interests, backgrounds and physical preferences with events like “Size Matters” for women that want to date tall men, 6’1+, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, “Asian Persuasion”, Non-practicing Jews, etc. etc. Definitely recommend you try it out!
