decline of internet dating

All the points are pretty valid- but I think the decline came when they jacked up the price. Sorry Match.com. I'm not willing to pay $30 a month to be dissapointed. Fast Cupid's (formerly Spring Street) pay per message is a better model. Airtroductions has the same deal, as do many others. There have been some complaints about fawhich I think are mostly valid, but their system is still better than Match.

However they all should be realizing that most people are just using free services like Friendster and Myspace. Though their not exactly dating site, they do let you state whether you're single and indicate whether you're looking for love.
