Who is the Single Community? Some tips

Members

Single market is a million Euro (and million dollar) business. A small online dating agency with exclusive membership or specialized on a special group can be interesting for people with special habits, interests, properties. Examples: russian marriage agency, christian dating agency, russian dating agency, gay dating agency, asian dating agency, indian dating agency, latin marriage agency.

An international marriage agency or big dating agency offers a "big offer". Single websites with small communities (under 200,000 members) have a small offer (I apologize, that sounds so merchant-like). A calculation:

Out of 200,000 members You have to discard the test-memberships and inactive members. That is not too less, 20%-50%. Many of those do not live in Your targeted area, remove 50% not not interesting sex (male or female). Remove those who are too old or too young. Remove those who are too heavy weighted, too tall, too small, not fitting due education, not fitting hobbies or interests. Finally remain about 50 candidates out of 200,000. That is not many, although I only seek one man or woman. Better are big - or specialized - websites with many members, the more the better.

It also could be helpful to read testimonials or tests in independent medias like papers.

Women-quote

Usually 40% of partner-seeking members are female. A higher women's quote looks suspicious. You cannot check the quotes, but You will get an impression by looking around the website. A visit of chatrooms can be very helpful.
