Our Adult Dating Section has been SPLIT!

As you’d know by now, Dating Down Under is a dating information site, specifically created to service the needs of Aussies in the dating scene.  One thing we are starting to notices is the emergence of more and more specialised Australian dating sites.  This is specially so the case in the Adult Dating segment of the industry.  As such, we have split our Adult Dating Site reviews into 2 seperate pages on the site.

• Australian Adult Dating Sites
• Other Adult Dating Sites

The page for aussie adult dating sites, reviews the sites that are designed and built in Australia, and tailored specifically for Australians

The page for other adult dating sites covers the best of the rest.  That is, it covers what we believe are the best of the international Adult Dating sites, so long as they cater for and allow Aussie membership.

We hope you enjoy this development

Men – Learn The Internet Dating Skills That Will Attract The Women YOU Like

We recently posted a new article on DatingDownUnder about techniques for men, when it comes to internet dating.

Its a pretty important article, as men really have the rough end of the stick when it comes to internet dating.  A woman signs up and will get 30 messages every day for her first week.  A man on the other hand will sign up and be lucky to receive 1 answer to every 20 messages he sends.  Here is the start of the article:

In the internet dating and “pickup” circles, Dave M is a bit of a legend. He is commonly referred to as the number 1 authority in internet dating techniques for men. Basically what he did over a period of some years, is experiment and experiment with different approaches of attracting women on internet dating sites.  Through his experiments, he turned his internet dating skills into a formula, or routine, that consistently turned results. Ie. He can now consistently find beautiful women on dating sites, write emails which generate interest and responses from these women, and turn those responses into dates outside in the real world.

We hope you enjoy it.

Dating – Why are YOU doing it?

One thing I find interesting is how dating sites sell their services on a subscription basis. That is, they charge their cleints a monthly fee for being a member of their site. The reason I find this interesting is becasue it suggests people are members of dating sites for months on end. We don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing, but rather we beiliev it begs the question, why are you dating?

Are you dating to find that someone special? If you are, you would not need to be a member of a dating service for months at a time. Rather, you would want to join a dating service that sells (or gives) contacts with people. That way you would have the opportunity to get in touch with a potential match, meet and get to know them, (during which you are not paying a monthly subscription) and if it works out, great, but if it doesn’t you can go back and use your “meeting credits” until you do meet the right person.

On the other hand, you may be in this to meet lots of new people who you can have lots of fun with. If you are a traveller in a new city, this may be just the thing for you. Or you may just enjoy this type of thing. The reason does not really matter, if this is what you are looking for, a subscription service is probably the right thing for you as with these memberships, you can typically contact an unlimited number of people.

Regardless of what you are looking for, the point is to think about it. Make sure you do. If you are a “someone special” type of person, do not join the suscription service, it will end up costing you more than you need to pay. The same goes if you are looking for a “party of friends”. In this case, subscribe. It will save you stack.

Either way, click through to our dating sites directory at so you have a point of reference to investigate many sites, to find the right one for you needs.

As one final tip on this point, for some reason, most “subscription” type dating sites tend to be adult dating sites. You can actually join these and meet people without being pushed into “adult” type activities if you are up front with the people you contact. So don’t be put off by this.
