This post is for all of our single readers. While it might be a little late to start your Valentine’s Day date search (we know that dating site visits typically surge the first week of the New Year), I thought I’d give you a novel new criteria to evaluate online dating sites. Why not add good credit to your dating criteria checklist.
We have over 1,100 sites in our Lifestyle Dating category. Choosing whether you go for a major like Match.com or eHarmony versus Niche dating sites can be daunting. Using our new segmenting capability at Hitwise, I filtered all sites withing our dating category for sites visited with the highest possible credit score, those in the VantageScore “A” category.
Without any preconceived notions (ok, perhaps a few) I pulled the following table of sites based on segmentation percentage (or those sites within the Lifestyle – Dating category that had the highest percentage of the highest credit).

A couple of surprises here. Dating nudists have good credit, who knew? The dominance of ethnic-centric dating sites seems surprising. But perhaps the most interesting is #10 on the list. Sugar Daddy for Me seems like an odd top-credit dating site (that is until you look at the income breakdown and VantageScore distribution and realize that the site has a healthy component of “sugar daddies” and those looking to land a “sugar daddy”.)

And if you’re wondering which site had the worst VantageScore (or highest visits from the “F” category), that honor belongs to the website for the mobile application Crush or Flush. You’ve been warned.
