International dating

Many sites may seem impressive when they claim to have
hundreds of thousands, or even millions of members, but take
this with the proverbial grain of salt. The truth is that while they
may have that many registered profiles, the number of active
members is much less. Many profiles are abandoned, duplicates,
not serious, and could in fact be many years old. There is no way
to know how many active profiles a site has. Remember also that
half or even more will be of the opposite sex.
If you really want to know how many profiles are applicable to
you, then do a broad search for your criteria. The search will tell
you how many profiles it found. Now search again, but this time
only for profiles that have been active in the last month (if this
search option exists). This will give you the best indication of how
many possible candidates are on that site.
On many sites, you have to register just to do a simple search.
Many people will register and create a profile in order to just take
a peek, thus creating yet another inactive profile.
