The cost of Cupid. There's a wealth of dating websites for those in search of romance. By David Wilson. Online dating sites offer a seductively slick alternative to real-world pick-up joints. But, because many dating sites are cagey about any fees they impose, clarifying costs can be as difficult as comparing mobile phone plans. So for your convenience we have thrashed out what you get for your money, literally and figuratively. Love at a price: Dating websites structure their costs differently. 1. RSVP. Australia',s most popular dating site, RSVP has 2 million members. Joining RSVP - owned by Fairfax Media, this website',s publisher - is free. Ditto sending ',',kisses',',, which are expressions of interest. Replying to emails or chat sessions started by another member also costs nothing. You pay when you see someone you fancy and, taking the initiative, contact them by email or chat. The cost of contacting a member is one ',',stamp',', - RSVP',s currency, which gives you unlimited contact with your budding heart-throb for 30 days. Stamps cost between $5 and $15, depending on quantity bought and expiry date. The alternative to paying as you go with stamps is to commit to either of two premium subscription services. The first, RSViP Priority (from $6.65 to $14.90 a month, depending on length of membership), gives your profile more standing. The second, RSViP Private (from $9.99 to $29.90 a month), gives you more control and aids in screening out drop-kicks. Pitched as one of Australia',s largest and fastest growing ',',free',', online dating sites, Aussie Match Maker claims to be a great place to meet and chat to thousands of singles using its chat rooms. The site touts more than 940,000 members. Basic free membership lets you post your profile, reply to messages you get, send four ',',winks',', a day to users you like, plus answer winks you receive. A membership upgrade that, for instance, lets you send other members messages, starts at $69.95 for three months', access. This alternative dating site says it celebrates diversity by matching adventurous singles who want to mingle with people from different backgrounds and cultures. The site offers three membership options billed in US dollars. The figures pan out as about $120 for six months, $75 for three months and $40 for one month. This dating site targeting ',',genuine singles from all walks of life',', promises to link you with hundreds of compatible singles from your chosen area, be it Australia or worldwide. While a six-month membership bringing unlimited contact costs $55, a year is $80 (spiceoflife.com.au/public/faq.php#). 5. Slinky.
