Cons:

- Free sites do not have many people joining it, hence making your search limited. Eventually, you will have to pay a little to get the right kind of dream date.
- Waste of money and time because many online daters sit before their computer of hours, ignoring their house chores.
- Since profiles created unauthenticated, they could be false.
- Some sites seem attractive and demand a joining fee, but after joining, you realize that very few daters have joined the site.
- You do not get to see the person you are dating and even if the person does send his/hers photo, you cannot be sure of the photo.
- You get e-mails from many unwanted and mismatched profiles.
- You cannot know the seriousness of the opposite person or even the real gender identity because some online teases’ chat with false genders and some of them even lie about their marital status.
- Almost half of the dating sites have more men than women.
- Some people use it as pass-time and date for fun. This might hurt people who really fall for these pass-timers.
- A few mischievous characters or perverts approach you online for wrong objectives like swindling you for money, for sex, for playing around, etc.
