At one time or another we are all searching for that special someone to share our lives with. Sometimes we find them early on in life and sometimes we have to do some growing up before we find that certain someone. We all have different approaches to meeting people and dating. Some people are social and enjoy going out all the time in hopes of meeting someone new. Others are more comfortable with online dating where they can screen potential dates. I don’t know anyone who is comfortable with blind dates or set ups!! :D
I’ve used a couple different sites and have not been terribly impressed with either of them. One is a free dating site that others have had success with, but I really didn’t. There’s another that is for people seeking affairs that is ridiculously expensive and not at all worth it from my experience or from what others have told me. You can use certain features for free but it’s impossible to actually contact someone unless one of you pays for it. There is another site I’ve used that is another niche site which is so-so, lots of posers though. So I feel like I am no newbie tonight as I sit down to take a look at True.com.
Before signing up you are allowed to search for free. Sign up is free also. This search is displaying 12 of a possible 2,908 based on my zip code and female seeking male filters.
So now I’ve signed up, just took a second, and am on the first of 5 pages to help build my profile. This page is just a couple items, nothing tedious. This page, before my answers says number of matches: 51,538. After my answers it’s cut in half. Page two drops my matches down to 17K. Oof after page 3, religion, I’m down to 2K matches. hehe Smoking and drinking on page 4 and now I’m at 742 matches.
And now I have to sign up with a credit card to get a free 3 day trial. Since I’m not actually seeking a date I’m not going to proceed. I am going to see what else is available with the free account.
There are 10 levels of your profile you can fill out. Some of them are designed to help you narrow down what it is you are looking for. There are lots of free dating tools and you can search based on different aspects. I’m going to try the sexual chemistry match which requires me to fill out a survey. Here are my results and it’s about 50/50. ‘Standard Ways’?? Not hardly!! ‘Not always the aggressor’? Pffft wanna bet?
YOU’RE A TRADITIONALIST!
Don’t let the title fool you. As a Traditionalist, you’re full of heat that so far you’ve released in pretty standard ways. When it comes to sex, Traditionalists are comfortable doing it, comfortable talking about it and good at listening to what your partner wants. Traditionalists tend to be faithful. For them, intimacy comes with trust. You’re not always the aggressor, but boy are you ready to rumble when it’s time for a little one-on-one.
So I did the sexual chemistry search and it brings up 5000 results of which you can filter by your choosing. I like that the search results come up with a little summary on the person’s activity and over all compatibility rating. So thumbs up on the searching, matching and profile questions.
The coaching center gives help on soulmates, photos and videos. Very nice. Tips and Advice looks like a lot of articles but they sort of come across like ads because of how they are displayed on the page. That’s just my personal impression though. *shrug*
The site boasts: Safer Dating
* TRUE screens for marital status and criminal backgrounds.
* We can’t guarantee criminals won’t get on our site. We can guarantee they’ll be sorry. We can and will prosecute.
We provide safer dating guidelines. We encourage you to use good judgment when dating online.
Underage? Criminal? Married?
YOU’RE NOT WELCOME!
This I am intrigued by and now curious how they achieve this extra level of security. After checking out the Safer Dating section I have to say this could be the deciding factor for me using this site. They go to lengths to explain how devoted they are to keeping their members safe and they provide information on keeping YOURSELF safe.
At first glance the site doesn’t seem to be that different from the others. Once you start to explore the site you see that is does have a lot to offer. If you are concerned about safety or just tired of the married men on other dating sites, I’d have to say you should give True a chance.
