Whenever you see a Top anything list you have to wonder as rated by whom. So I will let you know right up front this is the top 5 as rated by me in my research of online dating websites.

The criteria is what do people look for and how does the website deliver. For me that means a few things.

1. Number of members

2. Cost

3. Ease of use

4. Features

5. Do they deliver

There are surely more things, but we base what we research on how a dating website stacks up on these five things. Here are our Top 5 dating site picks!
