SantaMatch is 99% free but not 100% free
August 19, 2008
SantaMatch is 99% free but not 100% free – and that’s a good thing. 100% free dating sites – well, there are tons of them out there. Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong! How do we know? We tried it. Currently, SantaMatch has a one time admission fee (“profile approval fee”), which if you compare it to traditional dating sites, represent a saving of 90%-98%. We think that’s cheap enough, especially considering the efficient and scientific introduction module that saves you time and hassle. After all, your time is worth something, isn’t it?
So what’s wrong with 100% free? In a perfect world, it would be a great idea. However, in the real world it is equivalent to leaving the door to your house open and expecting only nice people to show up. Unfortunately, that is not realistic. 100% free dating sites by nature will attract the lowest common denominator in society and people who shouldn’t be on dating sites in the first place: married people, teenage pranksters, scammers, spammers, stalkers, etc. Harrassment, bullying, scamming and spamming can be pervasive. In addition, many sites make your profile public, i.e. your ex, your stalkers, your office-coworkers, etc. can all view your profile. Being familiar with the online dating world, that’s not something you’d want. So you do all that and for what? to save a few dollars? Worth it only if you are on welfare checks.
So what we say: if you are serious about dating and meeting someone special, spend those few bucks and go to a place which is both safer and has people who are seriously looking like you. And no, you don’t need to spend $30-$60/month like most paid dating sites. SantaMatch offers you the best features of any relationship site at a ridiculously low one time admission fee.
