Are you tired of paying for Match or eHarmony? Do you think free means it doesn't have quality people? You'd be wrong - there are free dating sites that have quality people with easy to use interfaces. The only challenge you might face is verifying the truthfulness of the person behind the profile. But really the other sites don't do much verifying either - the only thing is the name on the profile matches the name of the credit card. Not much verification but it is something.
The first free site I would recommend is OkCupid.com - it has a mix of social networking, compatibility testing and dating. Users can contact anyone on the system regardless of whether you are well matched or not - something eHarmony.com and Chemistry.com doesn't let you do.
CasualKiss has a large international base and offers free membership. It has unique, rich features and social networking applications. Although if you're over 40 then CasualKiss may not be for you since it is largely for the 25 and under crowd.
PlentyofFish.com or POF, is the first site to the free dating model. Marcus Friend started the site and still runs the site by himself. Although his user base out numbers most of the pay-per-use websites in North America. The site includes forums, compatibility questionnaires, and the very popular "who's seen me button". Definitely a site for all ages -- check it out.
ConnectingSingles.com a FREE site geared towards US-based users. Some of the features include forums, email, local event listings and chat.
Last but not least, is the BookofMatches.com or BoM as the site prefers to be called. It offers a low-tech site full of dating options, such as forums, friends lists, and live chat. Some of Book of Matches' free dating features keep the larger user base growing constantly, such as scrap booking and blog tagging.
You might be wondering how these sites make money - advertising, advertising, advertising! :)
