I’ve been seeing a lot of ads lately for True. True is an online dating service that is endorsed by Psychology Today. Here are a few of True’s features:
*They already have “Millions of members”
*They offer scientific compatibility testing
*They screen members for martial status
*They screen members for prior criminal activity (Felons need not apply. They are serious. They run members through a US Criminal Database before allowing them to contact other members).
We require that members provide their legal first and last name, as well as their date of birth (they must also certify that the information they provide is correct). We also resubmit a member for screening if he or she attempts to communicate with another member and it has been more than 90 days since the last screening.
We turn away tens of thousands of felons, sex offenders and marrieds who, despite our warnings, try to communicate with our TRUE members. At TRUE, we take our members’ safety seriously. We don’t want felons , sex offenders or marrieds on our website, period.
True has an online magazine called True U that offers advice on dating and romantic relationships. It’s staffed with “…internationally recognized psychologists, award-winning writers and experienced relationship experts.”
It’s free to register at True. I think you have to pay at some point, because the bottom of the “home” page has a list of credit card icons, but it’s hard to find out for sure without setting up a membership account.
