is there anything bigger than lavalife?
 

for pay-only online dating, in terms of the amount of people signed up? i don't mean the sex type stuff like aff or whatever...

I highly doubt it they are huge

They're huge

not sure who the big main stream players are -

match.com?

No other players come to mind in the area of mainstream dating.
WG

Yup, match.com is big. Been around a long time too.

Tickle.com has gotten pretty huge too. Probably not as big as lavalife, but huge nonetheless.

AmericanSingles is huge. So is Eharmony.

Annoying

I met my hot and smart girlfriend on Lavalife!

Jupiter is a very good source for market research, this is a fairly accurate portrait of heavy hitters in the mainstream dating world.

hehe and looks like he is looking for a date and not a dating sponsor

match.com is huge

From a surfers point of view....when I was looking through personals to meet people, match.com and yahoo personals were the only ones that had a substantial amount of people in my area.

And I did look at them all.

:2 cents:

When I want to meet people I alway go to: dastreetcornerhoe.com, it never fails me.

i read that match.com has something like a million paid subs, think it is in their annual report

There was something today on one of the dating blogs which said that eHarmony.com alone accounts for 40% of all spending in the online dating market!!

eharmony is run by some religious zealot.

eharmony is such a lame name.

If you live in Toronto there is nothing bigger than Lava.

maybe their ad campaigns are finally starting to pay off.

I checked them out a long time ago when I saw their commercial.
Spent an hour on the friggin personality profile and then found out they had zero registered users within 150 miles of me.

I know people in other parts of the country who said it was the same for them.

They're huge right now.

match and american singles i think are the 2 biggest.

Jdate is also very large and not listed
