Advertiser Disclosure:
TheDatingRating is a free website designed to review and compare select dating services operating online. We do not and cannot have the obligation to review every dating website created to date. From time to time, this resource may receive compensations from the owners of dating sites and services reviewed on the site. This, in turn, may influence the rating of the dating sites, and the order in which they are displayed on our website, but not the content of our reviews. At the same time, monetary compensation is not the only thing that influences our reviews. We use a wide range of criteria and our own expertise to determine the opinion about the service and its placement among similar services. We use an artistic approach to writing the reviews and other types of content on TheDatingRating and we reserve the right to use exaggerations if it’s necessary for the narrative. Occasionally, you may see advertisements for our or third-party services on our website. We urge our readers to carefully check our Terms Of Use before deciding to research the materials on our website any further.
