How can MySpamSponge help make Internet dating free?
If you include your handle in your personal ad, people reading it could contact you without having to pay that site or even to create an account with them. This could significantly increase the response rate from your ad. Why? About 90 to 95% of the profiles you see are from people who don’t pay for a membership. Online dating sites play all sorts of games trying to make more money. For example, they may allow you to send messages if you pay for a membership, but they may not let the recipient read them or respond to them unless that person is also a paid member. Of course, they don’t tell you that. In fact, they want you to believe that paying for a membership erases all of the communication barriers. If online daters routinely included their handles in their ads, no one would ever have to pay for online dating again.
