Dating for Active People
Dateactive is a site for active people a very niche market and it does work, Unlike a lot of other sites there are not 1000 of spam profiles. Looking at the profiles on the site people do look genuine and certainly share a common interest with a good age range.
The site is run by outdoor people for outdoor people so that could be a good thing as they will understand the market better.
And amazing there are real people working at dateactive who answer questions on email, they do help you if you make a mistake on your profile and even better there is no standing order for payment, you pay once and you wont get charged again unless you set up another payment.
Easy to use site and you can view as many profiles as you want before deciding to join, and once joined you can message anyone on the site so you can select who looks of interest to you and contact them as dating is a two way process.
Pros
No spam profiles
One off payment - no standing order
Real outdoor people
Cons
Niche market
If you change your profile you will need to wait for it to be checked before it goes live again, just be aware of this if you change your profile very late at night. But a plus is that spam profiles cannot find their way onto the site.
Dating for Travel Singles
I was a little sceptical of the site at first but sent off a couple of questions before I actually signed up and incredibly, received helpful and prompt replies from the people who run it who seem keen outdoors enthusiasts themselves and most definitely in the UK. So I signed up and posted my profile. Within a few days of joining dateactive.co.uk, my profile had been viewed several times. They say that you only need to pay to use the messaging system. That was true, I could use every part of the site other than to send messages. So I took the plunge and paid for a subscription and although I haven't yet found the love of my life, I have been exchanging messages with a couple of ladies on the site.
Pros
easy to sign up
don't seem to get any scammers
can access profiles without needing to sign up
