"I've tried many different dating sites. iDates are a lot more costly for a simple dating app or site, but it helps in finding friends. You need to invest a lot to meet friends, but it is still works. It is also interesting and you can meet tons of new people everyday whether it's around your area or other places. I'm just not keen with the amount I have to pay in order to send another member a message but I like how instantly female members send me chats. Overall, it is not extraordinary but it is good." - Male Chef (28)
