Where online dating is most real, fun and effective

|
offers the chaste singles and the naughty ones a friendly, comfortable environment for finding and initiating romance, love, relationship, and sex (not necessarily in that order). The only drawback to 's status as an otherwise undisputed five-star online dating site is its parent company's woefully low profile (this reviewer is reluctant to wholeheartedly recommend something from a company that cannot be easily verified).

German Friend Finder is for Germans or those interested in Germans or dating or threesomes or swingers or something else entirely.
|
|
If you believe the stereotypes, the Germans are pretty much the most efficient people on the planet. But take one look at and those preconceptions are gonna blow out the window. This German dating site is so dense, so complicated and so strangely run I'm still not quite sure what I've seen. Actually, is based in the good old U.S. of A. by Friend Finder Inc., an enormous match-making website conglomerate that operates 15 online communities worldwide. Perhaps that explains why is not just for people looking to find a German friend or even marriage partner. Sure, there are plenty of Deutchlanders from the Fatherland to the States logging on to search for their Achtung Baby, along with a German-language option, proving is serious about its German-ness. But there are also a surprising number of sexual world travelers (men seeking couples, women seeking couples, even couples seeking couples) who appear more interested in alternative uses of der weinerschnitzel. 's widely varied membership can participate in all the usual dating website activities - chat, an interactive magazine (message boards that also encourage members to post their own poetry), instant messaging, searches of varying depth and speed, different forms of on-site email, two-way matching and more - provided they can make sense of the enormously complicated pricing plan.

What most other sites aspire to become
|
|
may be what most other online dating websites aspire to become. With over 8 million members worldwide and an excellent reputation for high-quality member matching, really performs. The beauty of the site is its purity - there aren't a lot of bells and whistles like newsletters, travel opportunities or get-togethers scheduled for various cities - but has taken all that extra energy and poured it into perfecting the online profiles, functionality and matching capabilities.

We're here, we're queer, we're lonely
|
|
If you're a man's man and ready to risk the wrath of red-staters everywhere, is the place to meet, greet and talk of all things gay. There are tons of abs, organs and oil displayed in the many profile pictures as you browse for Mr. Right - because is overflowing with gay guys who want way more action than you'll ever see on "Will and Grace." Basic sign-up is free, registering is easy and there's a two-tiered pricing system if you want to get in deeper (you can take that anyway you want). Definitely not the place for the shy gay guy, has many ways to get down and dirty with chat, video intros, instant messaging, advice, articles, success stories and more. claims to have almost a million active members here. And I will refrain from commenting on the "active members" part.
