DALLAS NEWS — Aug 4 — Rhodes showed up his date revealed she had a picture online that was at least 35 years younger. Terri ended up meeting a man who was married with two children. As dating moves from clicking in bars to clicking a mouse, questions are arising about what online dating services are doing to protect subscribers from deception. The Texas Legislature joined several states that were considering legislation to require disclosure of background checks but the proposed Texas legislation died at the end of the session. The databases that background check companies use are generally out of date by up toa year. There's also difficulty in defining an Internet dating site; i.e. online chat rooms and craigslist classifieds. Proponents like Herb Vest, CEO of True.com, contend that checks will help weed out unsuitable mates. True.com’s screenings result in the rejection of ~ 5% because offelony criminal records, and another 4% who already are married. “It’s not foolproof, but I think it’s very effective,” Vest said. “We’re very serious about enforcing these rules.” Match.com and Yahoo! Personals rely on subscribers to alert them to dishonest members.
The is really no fail safe way to insure what you say in a profile is 100% accurate. Screening members will run several smaller FREE sites out of business and make more money for the larger pay sites.
free dating sites will disappear soon!!!!
Actually, there are more than 910 “Online Dating & Social Networking Sites” at the United States and Canada. Most of them are “free dating sites”, their business model is a combination of free users and paying clients. Free users who search on the database, (what they want to find / what they believe they want) and clients who pay to deliver ads to that users. These “free dating sites” are mainly “infomercial-advertainment companies on the web” as their revenue/income is due by ads only.
As TIME is more valuable than MONEY, because we pay spent-time with our lives; sooner or later, the free users will realize/understand that spending time and effort searching low-reliable profiles in “free dating sites” (a lot of hours contacting persons with low success rate, with low satisfaction index) is MORE EXPENSIVE that paying a fee (USD300-USD800?) to a quality contacts provider!!!!
