As the specter of online dating emerged and conquered all none
would have thought that there is even a possibility of this phenomenon fizzling
out, which is naturally the case with industry insiders showing lethargy or indifference
even for a short span of time. The industry and merchants seemed invincible but
even the best of crop can fail if not watered properly. This is an attempt to
make the industry aware of its shortcomings that have recently been recognized
by a chunk of online daters and potential online daters.
When online dating became popular, the users were paying
merely $19.99 a month, but today almost all online dating sites are charging
anywhere between $49 - $59 to facilitate peoples online search for potential
lovers and partners. The price hike, corresponding with the services
popularity, has been immense and is soon going to get out of reach of the
ordinary daters.
The most number of complaints lodged at the Better Business
Bureau about online dating service is regarding the concept of automatic
rebilling employed by the merchants. This has been a major cause of frustration
for online daters and they are increasingly becoming disoriented towards the
whole system.
Another factor that might prove to be the Achilles heel for
the online dating industry is the misinformation that these merchants spread. The
fee that you pay doesnt give you instant access to all the millions of
registered members of the site but a select few. As for the others, one needs to
pay again to be able to respond to a paid members messages. In cases like
these, there are chances of the members feeling cheated.
The industry is witnessing an upsurge and hence a small drop
wouldnt really bother many but a dip doesnt take much time to turn into a
plunge! http://www.ukonlinemarket.co.uk/Entertainment/Online_Dating.php">Online
