When you are looking for a free internet dating service,Free Internet Dating Service - Is Larger Necessarily Better and Can You Join Free? Articles you may think that size doesn't matter, or you may be of the opinion that size of the site is the only thing that makes a difference in the quality of the site. If you will consider the two options, you will find that both are correct at some level, but neither one is correct on another level. You should not let the size of the database for the dating service is the only factor you use in making your decision. Other things to consider include the variety of the posts, the theme of the site and the ease of use for the dating service.

When numbers make a difference

A large site will have many profiles to choose from, but when it comes to a free internet dating service, a large site doesn't necessarily mean that the profiles are accurate and current. Perhaps there was a massive campaign to get people to sign up at some point in the past and the site saw a sudden influx of new members who didn't see the kind of infrastructure they expected and so they quit using the site. Maybe the site shut down temporarily through no fault of the web master and members eventually forgot they were registered.

When numbers don't matter

One of the things that makes it slightly more difficult to tell whether the free internet dating service has a large group of profiles posted on the site or many small groups is to check the sub categories. If you have a group of Asian singles, or Western singles or gay singles as well as Christian singles and Jewish singles, you have a data base that looks large, but in reality is several small groups under the same umbrella.

How to tell the difference

When you are using a database on a free internet dating service, you will probably become fairly familiar with a few screen names and pictures. If you run out of new people to date very quickly, you have probably landed at a site that is actually made up a several sub categories. This structure is not a bad one if you are only interested in dating people in that sub group. If you are desirous of expanding your field of potential dates, you will either need to find another site, or look at some other sub category groups.

Don't get lost in the shuffle

Using a very large free internet dating service can mean you get lost in the shuffle unless you are proactive about meeting and contacting people that may interest you. In many cases, people are basically shy and that's why making dates is so hard for many singles. They just are not comfortable being forceful about the dating scene. On the other hand, those who are too aggressive in pursuing a date can be perceived as a stalker.  This type of reputation will mean that you are soon missing out on dates because of your negative reputation.
