I am thoroughly enjoying dating on Parship so far. They don’t seem to advertise so much so even though I’ve been dating online for several years, I’ve only found out about it recently when a friend mentioned it. I find the site very easy to navigate and use and I like that I get sent profiles without having to go looking for them. I found it annoying at first that you can’t see people’s pictures without paying, but since it sent me plenty of profiles to look at, I figured I’d... (read more)

Parship has been good to me so far. After wasting my time on too many other website to mention going through people’s profiles only to find that most men my age are only looking to have a bit of fun, it’s been great dating on a website where all the men are met are after something more. I’ve actually only just started dating there but I’ve been so impressed with the workings of the site and the people I have been talking to that it’s really cheered me up. I was beginning to think...

Parship has been great for me. I’ve see some people here writing about how there weren’t enough profiles sent to them, but that’s not my experience at all. I live in a medium sized town. Not a tiny village but it’s not exactly London or Manchester and I’ve had no problem whatsoever. If anything, I had to pace myself as I like to give people a chance before moving onto the next one. But the most important thing is that I actually met a man I went on more than just a few dates with... (read more)

Stay away from this dating site. It is very unreliable (I could not access it for 3 days for due a technical fault with the Parship server). Staff were unapologetic and often took 1 day to respond. Spend your hard earned dollars on a better dating site. (read more)

I’ve just moved in with the man I met on Parship, so for me it’s definitely the best website. In case you’re wondering, it took about 5 or so months for us to meet and for a while there I almost gave up on the site thinking it was a waste of time. But then I got sent that “special” profile and the rest is history! One thing that niggles me though is that you need to actively cancel your membership to the site, otherwise it will keep charging you money. I forgot to cancel mine when... (read more)

I guess I'm what you'd call a "mature" dater, which is to say I am in my 30s and looking for that person to share my life with. I've done the rounds on a few dating sites but not gotten anywhere. Then on a hunch I followed an ad to Parship, took that grueling personality test everybody's talking about and set up my profile. And it's been great!

Parship isn’t the best looking site I’ve seen and it’s certainly not the cheapest, but for me it’s been absolutely worth it. After coming out of a long marriage, being alone and thinking it will never happen for me again, I’m now happily attached again and I owe it all to this site. I didn’t know what to expect at first and as people have already said here, the sign up process is extremely lengthy and nearly put me off. But now I can see why it’s so important. When I met my...

I wanted to try a dating site that could filter out some of the profiles for me and cut through the babble to find me someone who was an actual good match.

Parship is far from perfect and it suffers from the same issues any dating site has (recurring billing, for one) but for me it’s the site that makes the most sense. I wanted to try a site that offered psychological matching. I tried a free one but found most of the people there to not be looking for long term relationships at all.

Parship is a great site because it does allow you to sit back a bit and wait for profiles to come to you. I’ve used Match before and have found the whole process of looking at pictures and searching for interesting profiles quite tedious.

Parship markets itself as a serious relationship website. On signing up you go through a lengthy questionnaire which is the best one I've done so far (slightly better than eharmony, far better than be2). Took around 15 minutes. Once you get past that then the matching process can begin, at which point you can alter your profile, answer questions about yourself and add photos.

Parship is the first dating site I tried so I can’t really compare it to others, but it was recommended to me by a friend and so far I am loving it. I've been on there for just over a month and even though nothing has come out of the dates I've gone on so far, just the fact that I've gone on them in the first place has really made a difference to how I see myself. I keep being sent profiles of men who look interesting, so I am hopeful!

You can not cancel and the only way out is to cancel your credit card which is a major hassle. They then con you in to believing that somebody is emailing you when in fact they have not signed up.
