Is online dating safe?
It is impossible to imagine the modern dating landscape without it: online dating sites and dating platforms. However, it can become increasingly difficult to see the forest for the trees. There are many good and reliable dating sites but unfortunately also some less good ones. Therefore, you may wonder whether online dating is still safe and how you can check this.
Often we see that people in the 18-30 category know very well where they would like to create a profile and why. There are dating sites and apps that are more focused on casual dating and alternating dates, and there are also those that focus very much on serious relationships. Young people in particular can make this distinction very well and often know the purpose of several sites. For the middle and especially older group, this distinction is more difficult.
Many sites have a more focused goal, for example for people over 50 or for the higher educated. This can be a great advantage because it is easier to find like-minded people than on more general sites. On those kinds of sites you can have a nice match with someone who afterwards has a completely different intention than you. It can also be useful to spread your chances and thus create a profile on several dating sites.
Many dating sites claim that they manually check everything and that there is no chance of fake profiles. People with experience on dating sites know that unfortunately this usually works differently in practice. For many people these fake messages are very easy to recognize, but of course they come in for a reason. For more vulnerable people, this can be more difficult to filter out and therefore, unfortunately, there is abuse of these types of people through dating sites.
So apart from the reliability of the dating site, the reliability of everything users is also a tricky issue. Therefore, we recommend in any case to read the independent reviews of the platform where you plan to create a profile. Especially if you have little experience with online dating, it is advisable to read up on it.
We are also very curious about the experiences of active users of a dating site. In this way we help each other to create and maintain a large, useful and reliable review platform where people can safely assess which dating site or company suits their needs.
