Question Dating Sites?

As a daughter in law to a widowed Father in law and a friend of my best friends widowed mother (no, these 2 aren't compatible lol they live too far away and age/type differences )
Who can suggest some really top notch dating websites that I can direct my FIL and Bff's mom to? My FIL mentioned he's looking online but I worry that he might be nieve to it
I only want the best for them both I just wondered if anyone can suggest some good dating websites that they've had good luck on or they've been really impressed with. The ads on tv are helpful but that might be all fooy too just to encourage members to sign up and spend money lol
Thx for your input!

Stay with the best names like eharmony etc. That would be your (their) best bet.

Maybe they can get on groups with their interest or hobbies in mind and then they might find people to date. One of my friends likes Match.com, but I think groups might be better.

I alway thought that if I was ever to be single again I would use a online dating service, however since my dilema with my husband who has posted several ads on these so called dating services under fake names and fake descriptions of himself I dont think i would ever trust them! Sorry!
I think it would be better to meet that special person in special interest group or hobbie or even from a friend!!
Good Luck

I think it's more easy for a women to find love with dating website. All dating website have more men than women, then we have more chance to find someone to share good time. I have found many people with the same interest of mine at Lovia - Home - Looking for great meeting experiences? (canadian dating website, im from canada).

Are they looking VERY seriously for a relationship, that they would want something like Eharmony? Or do they just want to dabble for now and get their feet wet? It makes a difference!
I've been to ALLLLLLL the sites. Eharmony had me completely pegged wrong. Match.com is for the ultra picky people, who have a big long list of "requirements" they want met. I absolutely loved casualkiss.com. The people there are very friendly.

I'd probably recommend Plentyoffish.com Free Online Dating Service & Dating Site . Lot's of nice people on that completely free site.

I'm a filipino chinese, and guess what? I get discrimination from both the filipinos and the chinese. Filipino dating sites are my best bet at meeting filipino singles like me who face a difficult situation in real life. Dun look down on dating sites!

They are all alike and most people on one are on several. Just be sure to run a criminal background check on anyone you bring into your life. Be sure to take your time before letting anyone from a dating site into your life. You can do this by any of the online sites who do that for under 40 dollars or go tot he police and have them run it. Also be sure to do a credit check before letting anyone move in.
There are no safe sites and you should also read the warnings on the sites as you could end up in a super big mess.

Yes I agree. If you are a normal woman with no mental problems and aren't looking to tramp around, you bet you can find a nice guy online. Vice versa is not possible and if it happens then that guy is extremely lucky!

It has everything to do with our sexual dynamics in society etc...really, women are the ones with all the power to choose, men...not really. Thats why men have to be more assertive and agressive when it comes to finding a mate...otherwise we get little to nothing.

All you have to do is sign up, post a pic, sit back and beat them off with a stick!

What a CROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, we women have to beat off men with sticks, but not because they all are Mr.Rogers, wanting to "know their neighbor"!!!
My personal experience... They all wanted to be the first to get in your pants!
Only about 5% of ALL the men I EVER talked to on those sites were ones who were decent in speaking to women. All the rest would see how quickly they could "see our Ti--ies".
(I'm not joking!)
I went onto those sites years ago, looking to find someone special. I wanted marriage, family, the whole nine yards. After a reasonable amount of time on those sites, dating and meeting many men, I had become SO LONELY, I really didn't care if I lived or died.
I never did end up permanently with any of those men. Turned out, I ended up with a man who I used to know from many years ago as friends, and I had lost touch with him, and we newly found each other.

My wife and I met on match.com, we married 3 months later. We have 2 kids and have been married for over 4 years. That being said, online dating can work, whether looking for marriage or longterm relationships ... or something a little less permanent.

Here's another one to add to the list.....
Sugar Daddy for Me

This is where my estranged husband has been finding his dates for the past three years. Not to worry if you aren't a sugar daddy. They have classifications for us other folks too--Sugar Mama, Sugar Baby, Sugar Boy. What a hoot!
