Finding Personals Sites

With literally thousands of personals sites on the Internet, finding


one shouldn’t be too hard. Finding one that is right for you on the

other hand is a bit more difficult.

I’ll make things a bit easier for you by listing a few of the major

sites in various countries. This is not a recommendation for any

particular site, but they are some of the biggest and more reputable

ones. You should start by investigating each one and find out if it’s

worthwhile for you.

If you are really serious and have the time, then a profile on

multiple sites will only improve your chances of meeting someone.But following the principles in this book, and regularly being active


on each site can be very time consuming.

If you are looking at meeting people locally then it’s best to

start with the sites that cater for your particular country. Note,

however, that many sites work equally well for any country.

Regulatory Bodies

There are currently very few, if any laws that prevent anyone from


operating a personals singles site any way they see fit. However,

the ones that charge for their services fall under the business

category and are subject to common business laws in the country

in which they are based. Laws vary greatly from country to country,

and there is often little recourse should you have queries or

complaints about sites in other countries.

There is no regulatory body that controls how personals sites do

things, and provide or promote their services. Reputable sites will

have their own ‘Code of Practice’ which you can read before joining.

If you don’t like the way they do things then the best option is to go

elsewhere.

Stick to the large well-known sites, preferably in your own

country and you will be fine.
