As someone who has done the online dating thing for awhile, there's really one rule of thumb for these things:
Rule #1 - you get what you pay for
Overall site impressions:
OKCupid - want to date a chick with a piercings all over her face, tattoos on her neck and no education past grade 11? Check! These woman are crazy to the 9th degree. These women will tie you up and try and burn your house down if you don't call them back.
POF - This is where 99% of people start because it's free. Any woman with a good job, education and who is decent looking has an inbox overflowing and is just using POF for her ego. This is also where 90% of men post pictures of their truck and pictures of them with their hat on backwards without a shirt on. Good place to pick up some strange.
Match.com - Good place to meet cool 25-30 year olds who have a job and can afford $15 a month to date. Great starter place for dating
eHarmony - Great for mature 28+ year olds who have a job and are wanting to settle down and get serious. Also a great place to browse desperate profiles of woman with uterus' about to dry up throwing out their last hope and prayer for a husband.
Go with what works for you!
