A Million to The One

The online dating market is a funny one – so many sites boast they’ve got “millions of registered members”. I’ve even some dating businesses in the UK claim “over 13 million member profiles”.

Which might be great in a society where you want to go on millions of dates and marry hundreds of people – but generally most people are, I find, happy meeting “The One” and spending their life with a perfect companion, rather than searching endless haystacks for the mythical needle.

This problem is compounded by some rather unreputable companies who encourage members to join what is essentially the same database many times – encouraging members to copy their profile so that the same person my appear four or five times in the same database. Which helps them claim large numbers but hardly helps the customer who only cares about “The One”.

At Global Personals we believe that quality of a database is more important than quantity. Yes, we have million of members and we’re very proud of that, but every one of those:

- has to verify their email address manually
- has their profile, photo, video, icebreaker, messages and diary entries individually checked by our in-house moderation team
- has their email address checked at least weekly
- is removed if they become inactive or suspicious

We’ve invested in the very best advanced search technology for sites using our premium template set such as DatingAgency.com where our members can search through our millions of members using very fine search criteria to help them find the kind of guy or girl they’re looking for.

Our customers can contact as many or as few members as they like on their dating journey and we hope they have a lot of fun on the way – but we’ll always focus on quality over quantity, helping them to find that one in a million.
