PRWEB — May 16 — FilipinaEyes (Asian online dating) has decided to offer lifetime memberships for $45. There is a one time lifetime membership fee for gentlemen. RELEASE @ PRWEB
Mark Brooks: Many early singles clubs/groups went under, leaving their lifetime members high and dry. Consequently, I'm informed, lifetime memberships in the U.S. are not entirely legal these days.
I agree with Mark Brooks that lifetime memberships are illegal (and have been for decades) in the U.S. One way to get around this is to offer a membership plan which is “like a lifetime membership–as long as we are in business, our services are free to you.” As long as you don’t call it a Lifetime Membership, I believe it would be legal…but I’m not an attorney.

Many online dating / social networking sites are offering a free-service / free-membership but
if a person DOES NOT pay or DOES NOT want to pay for the service it clearly MEANS He or She are NOT INTERESTED in serious dating / networking.
What about USA and Europe Off-Line chains, that instead of disappearing, are growing with good health! One of the reasons is that they are reliable; they interview all candidates, they analyze all of their profiles, they do backgrounds-checks to all clients, and most important of all, they receive a payment. They have all clients, never free users. This payment not only covers their costs, but also is like a barrier to avoid free users, who could hurt the clients’ feelings; a client is paying and SOONER OR LATER, want to contact COMPATIBLE REAL PERSONS. Different from some on line dating sites, that problems begin to appear in many of them because conversion rate from users to clients is decreasing due to not reliable profiles database, the database is full of rubbish, ads, adware and spyware, persons that tell lies or not exist, persons that use retouched or fake photos, etc. (LOW RELIABILITY). The strategy to give free memberships or free lifetime memberships to have a good amount of users and then try to convert them in clients (silver and gold memberships) will not work any more, because they will remain as users for ever and ever in a vicious circle.
