ASSOCIATED PRESS -- Feb 5 -- With 1,400 dating sites, according to Hitwise, many singles are posting profiles on multiple sites in the hopes of reeling in the one. Neither eHarmony nor Match.com capture information about how many of their members are on other sites. Markus Frind, CEO of the free dating site Plentyoffish.com, estimates 15% of the people in the US who are active on his site are members of other, paid dating sites. It makes sense to post profiles on more than one site, according to Mark Brooks, editor of Online Personals Watch . He compares serial online dating to bar-hopping. He said people generally settle on one main site and a smaller niche site. Some relationship experts aren't so sure that signing up for multiple sites brings better luck in love. It's better to be on one site proactively than three passively, said Nancy Slotnick, founder of the love-life management site Cablight.com. FULL ARTICLE @ ABC NEWS

Mark,
I dont know if it's about being "serial" or not. It's all about chances. That's all. If you would have 10 lakes instead of only one, how many would you try to fish? I dont think just only one... :-)
And as for my experience of dating coach those who say that signing up for multiple sites doesnt bring better luck in love DONT REALLY try to find their partners.
Ciao
