I've boycotted dating websites. They all take the piss, and you will almost certainly get nowhere wasting valuable time and cash. That's maybe not totally true for everyone, as there are people who find love somehow, and then put up a success story thereafter. However, I find most of them are full of idiots, inactive accounts, and weirdos. For all anybody knows, the so-called success stories may be fake like the majority of the profiles are.

I'm also tired of registering on a website that has a front page claiming it's free to join. You fill in all the mandatory info, looking to proceed to what you joined for in the first place, only then for the website to pop up a message asking you to upgrade from 'Silver' to 'Gold' in order to send messages, and gifts to people who probably won't touch you with a ten-foot pole because they're so picky. It's really soul destroying.

One dating site I know is rather gimmicky too. You can send a cute image of a teddy bear, a champagne bottle, a bunch of flowers, and all this nonsense. Some folk probably obsessively buy all the gifts there are, to show their devotion to an anonymous e-person by offering them a complete set. Please!

These websites are there not to help you find a partner, but to empty your wallet. I've never been stupid enough to spend more than a few hours on each of them before looking for a way to get my profile removed. Sadly, whatever 100% free to use dating sites there are online today, they are full of said creepy weirdos. You cannot win.
