Subscription Style

There are hundreds of dating apps on the market today. It can be difficult to sift through all your options, especially when the cost varies so much. Many are free or have free-trial options, but some of the highest-rated dating apps require a subscription. In general, it’s a good idea to pay for online dating apps because your experience is more likely to end in a successful relationship.

Some of the most popular apps, such as OkCupid, allow users access to a wide variety of features for free. You can create a detailed profile with a questionnaire that matches you with others for free, and it’s usually pretty accurate. If you’re not willing to pay for a dating app there are many options for you, but you should consider subscribing to a paid online dating service.

One of the highest-rated apps, eHarmony, requires a subscription to be able to use its services. eHarmony uses a sophisticated algorithm to match people with each other with good success rates. According to the website, someone finds love on eHarmony every 14 minutes. eHarmony offers some free features, but the paid subscription gives you the best perks. Because you’re paying for it, there are fewer creeps browsing to scam or hurt you.

Some other benefits of paying for your dating app is that the profiles you see are more thoroughly organized and monitored. You’re less likely to encounter creepy people or scam artists, so you can feel a little safer in the online dating world. However, free dating apps are also a good option, especially if you’re not looking for something serious or long-term.

  • Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating. It comes decked out with designer furniture, a chandelier, a pink paint job, second-floor balcony, and enclosed "yard." It's not enough for you to live in luxury. Your dog must, as well.
  • After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies.

  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
  • While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
