Choosing the right service to use for online dating is as important as choosing the right condom; if it’s not right for you, it can be uncomfortable and expensive down the road.

It all comes down to what you’re seeking and your budget. There are plenty of services that are free, however our best success for hyperlink-hookups have been through sites that charge a small fee. This fee tends to weed out much of the riff-raff (with fewer trips to the clinic for penicillin). We made our choices based on ease of use, selection, and our own personal success. These are subscription sites that cost less than $25 a month. Nearly all of them offer a free trial period (to separate the sirens from the sea-hags, the sultry from the skank, the gorgeous from the guttersnipe – you get the idea).

www.Match.com This one is the most successful (and our favorite). They boast a pool of over two and a half million subscribers -- and some of them are even attractive.

www.LoveAtAol.com Same search engine as Match.com, but more AOL friendly for those of you that are afraid to actually click outside your safe little AOL world (AOL Keyword LOVE).

www.matchmaker.com Number two with a bullet. Didn’t make number one, due to slight cheese-factor. However, one of our closest friends met his last girlfriend -- a very nice ex-stripper on this site. She stayed for two arduous years and eventually left with the dog. Boy does he miss that dog. Also, Daniel’s brother met his lovely wife there.

www.YahooPersonals.com Not quite as user friendly, seems to have a lot of foreign applicants from overseas. One of the nicer features is the ability to chat live via “Yahoo chat.” If you’re lucky you might even get a nice webcam lap dance in exchange for a green card.

www.dating.com Visually, a very nice clone of Match.com…except for the fact that that the pictures are too small and they don’t seem to have much of a selection. But if you’re a fan of web design and have a huge monitor or a magnifying glass, this site will work fine.

www.jdate.com Mostly for Jewish daters…but fear not, they also have a “yenta” section (a.k.a. Boy meets Goy). This is a great site if you have a yarmulke fetish, like your men circumcised, or prefer gefilte fish (instead of tuna).

www.lavalife.com Well designed, easy to use. This site has regular dating combined with options for good, old-fashioned “sport-porking.”

www.FriendFinder.com As it’s name would imply, this is a site for women seeking sensitive caring males looking for friends and companions. So naturally we don’t spend a lot of time at this site. The same people host ChurchFriendFinder.com. where you can meet people from your own faith. Ironically, they also host adultfriendfinder.com, where you can find a significant hump-buddy for your own private “Religious experience.”

Alright you cheap bastards, here are some free dating sites for the frugal, budget-minded, low-rent guy who usually pays for dinner with a coupon.

Some of our favorite free sites are:

www.dreammates.com You get what you pay for.

www.matchdoctor.com You get what you pay for.

www.eharmony.com Did we mention that you get what you pay for?

Because we love him and believe that he provides a great service to the community! Also, he's featured prominantly in a very special chapter of our book (Chapter 11; Binary Curious) for open minded Adults seeking "alternative" types of relationships (Yes, we've done our homework and interviewed all the right people). Whether you're into the unique and eclectic, a devout "missionary" or a Dom Clown, you will no doubt find this chapter entertaining, to say the least.

Note: If you're "clown curious," please visit www.ouchytheclown.com. Tell him the Cyber Casanovas sent you.
