It should go without saying but the very first thing you must consider when signing up with a dating site is safety. This is true whether you're male or female. You must realize some of these sites are completely free because they cut corners, and costs. If one of these sites, or any site for that matter, requests more personal information than seems reasonable you should be weary. You could be making yourself a candidate for identity theft. A good rule is if the site your on doesn't have a clearly stated privacy policy, or worse yet none at all I'd move on.
When visiting dating sites and considering whether or not you should sign up you should remember and apply the same rules you do in the offline world. If it sounds or looks too good to be true it's probably because it's not true. These are free dating sites that lure you in by showing you pictures of babes, goddesses, and very attractive females who just happen to live right in your area! What are the odds? Too good, actually. These could be and may very well be fake profiles with the sole purpose of get you to sign up. This is probably one of the greatest pitfalls of free dating sites.
Another thing to be careful of when signing up are the dreaded spammers. The reason is simple, since they're free after all it's not likely they can afford to hire staff to police their site so spammers blanket these sites with advertisements. You might log into your profile and see 5 or 6 responses and think you might actually get a date. Only when you open them, you find messages to buy pills, vitamins and other junk that spammers try to push on you.
With that said, there are still a few good completely free dating sites out there if you take the time to look. Do your homework and wade through the darker side of free dating sites and you'll find they can be well worth your time.
