Consumer Reports “CR’s Guide to Online Dating Sites.” is unbiased, do not accept advertising and operates in a way that is unbiased.  The companies they recommend can’t buy in and manipulate Consumer Reports magazine to give a favorable score on their behalf. Consumer Reports highlights eHarmony , Match.com and Yahoo Personals as being the best of breed

.
If you’re there for the basics, Yahoo Personals and Match.com are the next best bet eHarmony and Yahoo Personals have a compatibility test which pair you up with likes and dislikes issues. Set up a private email account with Hotmail, Google or some independent email company so you can monitor your email.

 eHarmony  is a great site since it has more women then men. My guess is that most guys don’t have the patience to fill out the long “personality test.” Eharmony also allows you to post multiple pictures of yourself. Post action shots as well as pictures of you relaxed.

Match.com allows for an extended profile of yourself so write as much as you can about yourself. As with any sales letter, long copy sells better. Match.com bypasses the Q and A of Eharmony so you need to make your email stand out.

Yahoo Personals  allows you to post multiple photos and chat and has good advice on how to get the hottest photo of yourself and post those photos.
