PlentyofFish Personals
From LoveToKnow Dating
PlentyofFish personals is an online dating site that offers singles a place to post and browse free personal ads. The site prides itself in being five times larger than any paid dating site on the Internet and that it helps their members go on more than 18,000,000 dates with other site members in a year.
Browsing and Posting PlentyofFish Personals
PlentyofFish personals is a great dating site for individuals who are looking for a fun and easy way to meet singles. It is 100 percent free and the site will not ask you for your credit card.
After registering, you can immediately start browsing personal ads and post your own. The site's member search engine allows you to browse people according to gender, age range, ethnicity, astrological sign and location. Personal ads include a short message about you, a picture of yourself, your screen name, who you are seeking (woman seeking man, man seeking woman, etc.), your age, and location.
Special Features of PlentyofFish
Once you find someone that seems interesting, you can send a message through the site. This way, you won't have to give out your personal e-mail. The site features special items you can send to interested people.
- Roses
When you first register, you receive two roses you can send in a message to someone. You can send two roses in 30 days, so you need to keep them until you find someone worthy of them. You will receive another two after 30 days to send again.
- Points
Another fun feature of PlentyofFish personals is the ability to collect points for things you do on the site. You earn 60 additional points for signing in each day, which motivates people to continue to use the site. You can use these points to "purchase" other virtual gifts like the roses.
- Rating/Voting
The Rating/Voting feature of the site allows members to choose who they think is attractive. Each member of the site can select whether he or she wants to be rated. If you allow this, members can see your picture in the Rating/Voting section of the site as well as on your profile and rate you from Fish Again to Great Catch. The benefit is that people searching for someone like you will notice you more if you have a higher rating. However, if you have a low rating (Fish Again), potential dates may pass you by. You can switch this feature off if you choose to afterwards.
Relationship and Dating Support through Forums
PlentyofFish personals also offers forums to help its members with their dating and relationship issues. You can join discussions about sex and sexuality, dating over 30 or 45, single parenting, healing a broken heart and so much more. The forums are also a great place to meet singles that enjoy the same things as you do such as travel, cooking, art/music, sports and humor.
PlentyofFish Relationship Quizzes
You can take three relationship quizzes on the site to find out more about yourself and your current partner. Take the "Is Your Love Interest a Keeper?" to find out if you should continue your current relationship or search for someone new. If you are trying to figure out what type of person you are most likely to have chemistry with, take the "Relationship Chemistry Predictor." You can also find out what you need in a relationship with the "Relationship Needs Assessment."
Upgrading Your Membership
One of the disadvantages of using sites with free personals with no membership fees is that you may encounter many individuals who are not serious about meeting someone on the site. This can become frustrating when you really want to find a date. PlentyofFish personals helps members who are serious about finding love by setting up a "Serious Member" designation for their profiles. If you choose to upgrade your membership, you will take a questionnaire about your attitudes and behaviors that have to do with sincerity and integrity. If your answers reflect that you are a serious dater, you receive the "Serious Member" seal. When you browse singles, be on the lookout for this seal as well.
Fishing for Love
Finding love takes time. Don't be discouraged if you don't find true love as soon as you join. Just as the PlentyofFish personals site's name implies, there are plenty of fish for you to catch, so if you aren't compatible with one fish, throw it back and catch another.
