The Short Version: The average online dater doesn’t have the time to test thousands of dating sites and apps in search of the best one. Fortunately, the DatingScout team has spent the last decade scouting the online dating world and making solid recommendations. This blog has reviewed the most popular, successful, and well-reputed dating platforms available. DatingScout’s independent ratings and advice can be invaluable to single men and women hoping to make a genuine connection online.

The Founder of DatingScout understands the struggle of being single and not knowing where to go to meet people — because he faced those challenges himself as a college student over a decade ago.

Chris Pleines was an IT student who spent most of his time in engineering classes full of guys. He wanted to branch out and meet more single women, but he wasn’t sure he could afford certain online dating services, and he didn’t know which would offer him the best chance of going on a real date.

Chris realized that many singles had questions about online dating, and they needed answers from an authoritative resource. So he set out to create one. He published his first online dating advice blog in Germany in 2007, and it grew more popular with every informational post.

DatingScout provides practical information to help singles up their online dating game.

The DatingScout team tested the industry’s major dating sites and matchmaker services to see how they compared with one another. Then it presented noteworthy findings in a write-up that covered the cost, features, success rate, and user reviews.

“We created our own blog where we present and compare the different online dating platforms,” the DatingScout team said. “In return, we receive free demo accounts from the operators.”

Today, the DatingScout blog has reviewed 1,500 dating sites in nine countries. Its team includes men and women who have been in the trenches of the swiping scene and can offer important takeaways to make the experience more positive and fruitful.

“We have spoken with real members and tested thousands of dating sites,” the team said, “so we know what works and what doesn’t.”

Independent Experts Deliver Important Facts & Figures

Newcomers to the online dating scene often have a lot of questions about how it works, what it costs, and if it really works. The DatingScout team can answer all these questions and more in its comprehensive reviews.

Over the last few years, DatingScout has established itself as an authoritative and independent reviewer of major dating services in the U.S. and abroad. Its team has put in the legwork to explore dating sites, dating apps, and matchmaking services to see which ones can live up to their reputations.

“DatingScout is supposed to make life easier for singles looking for love, casual dates, acquaintances, or friendship,” the team told us.  “We are hard at work to provide sound evaluations of the best dating options.”

The DatingScout blog has broken the online dating scene into categories to help singles from all walks of life find success. Its special categories include LGBT dating, Christian dating, Asian dating, Black dating, and other niche topics. The casual dating section is particularly popular among sex-driven adults looking for erotic encounters with no waiting and no credit card needed to sign up.

The DatingScout blog offers independent reviews on popular matchmaking services.

DatingScout’s review team assesses the functionality, popularity, and pricing of the top dating platforms, and its well-researched articles can help singles decide which site or app is right for them.

These reviewers don’t leave any stone unturned when assessing a dating service. A full review includes star ratings for the sign-up process, contact options, profile quality, price, app, and special features. The review offers a detailed breakdown of how the platform works and what it can offer singles. The review also has graphs and screenshots to further describe the user experience.

DatingScout arms online daters with information so they don’t wind up on disreputable dating platforms where they’ll meet more fembots and scammers than authentic singles.

“With our reviews, you’ll be able to avoid disappointments and paying for subscriptions that you don’t need,” the team promises. ”

Whether you’re looking for plus-size dates or religious partners, you can rely on DatingScout to point you in the right direction and give you a headstart in the online dating world.

A Data-Driven Approach to the Online Dating World

The Dating Scout team includes sociologists, IT specialists, marketing experts and authors from around the world. Its team members work remotely on the website and provide a wealth of knowledge to enrich the modern dating landscape.

DatingScout started as a German blog, but it has since expanded to reach 13 countries, including the U.S., the U.K, Australia, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The majority of visitors are between 25 and 34 years old.

In its effort to evaluate every aspect of online dating, the DatingScout team has come up with a smart system to verify and study a platform’s membership base. The site uses artificial intelligence and a deep learning algorithm to analyze profile pictures and scan them for more than 6,000 characteristics, including hair color, facial expression, and background.

DatingScout has scanned over 22 million profile pictures to determine what the online dating market looks like and how photo preferences differ from platform to platform. For instance, shirtless photos are pretty common on gay dating sites, but it’s rare to see any bare skin on a religious dating site.

All in all, DatingScout provides a thorough summary of the most popular online dating platforms, and its recommendations are backed by a combination of real-life experiences and data analysis.

“We have been testing and comparing dating sites for more than 11 years and have a relatively holistic approach,” the DatingScout team said. “We try to integrate sociological, philosophical, and empiristic points of views to share with our users.”

DatingScout Informs Singles About Their Options

Chris used his IT skills to build a hub of online dating knowledge where singles could find the shortest route to the hottest date. The DatingScout team has analyzed millions of dating profiles and vetted thousands of dating platforms and matchmaking services in an effort to discover which ones provide the most value to online daters.

For over a decade, DatingScout has broken down the major pros and cons of the most well-trafficked dating sites and apps of the day. This blog is a reliable informational resource for singles of all ages, backgrounds, and dating intentions.

DatingScout offers its insight into which dating sites and apps have the highest success rate, the lowest prices, and the most active members, so singles always know where to go and what to do to meet local singles.

“Look through our website, and you’ll find information to improve your online dating game,” the team said. “DatingScout.com helps singles connect on the web to find their new partner for fun, dates, or even for life.”
