Match.com – out of all the dating sites, this seems like the most respected and best designed and to be honest I’m not surprised with the sign up fee. The problem with it though is not many girls reply although they read the message. I paid for the mobile version of this site and it’s not been optimised for mobile devices– it’s basically the web version.
Speeddate – I actually signed up to their premium service but the problem was non-members couldn’t message me because I was premium and they weren’t. I found out also you can only reply to messages sent by premium members.
Plenty of fish – Interface just looks like it’s been chucked together. Lots of menu items make it a bit confusing. Good range of features though to say it’s free. They need next and previous pagination links for browsing too, it’s too fiddly clicking on the page number. Also, I find it hard to read profiles because the line spacing isn’t set to a good amount.
Summary
All three dating sites are lacking a chat room in my opinion.
