I can't honestly say what "the worst dating site EVER" might be, because I've only ever signed up on a couple. I enjoy this one mainly because you can chat free and even make some pretty nice friends on here. Friends is all I'm looking for anyway these days, so dating just isn't an issue for me.
I used to be a member of American Singles, back before they started charging just to chat or IM, and I actually met someone very special there. We hooked up nearly four years ago, and we were actually pretty happy for a while. Unfortunately, my best friend died last year, and my lady just couldn't handle my grieving process...unlike most people, I don't go through the classic "four stages of grieving," I just cycle back and forth between anger and depression until I finally get over it and get on with living Life again. She didn't have the patience or the heart to hang in there...another month or so was all I needed, but she bailed out on four years and an engagement...to which I say, "her loss."
Anyway...I am fairly happy with this site, since I can chat for free with nice people, and I don't get inundated with SPAM just for being a free member. If I ever decide to get back into dating, I'd be quite happy to hook up with someone I encountered on here, mainly because there are some truly fine ladies on this site, people with kind hearts and good natures. Mind, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for me to get back into dating...after all I've been through, I could easily spend the rest of my life alone at this point. I've got a great dog to keep me company, and plenty of great books, movies and music to keep my mind occupied.
Anybody who knows me can tell you I don't give a hoot about superficial nonsense like looks or financial status, I only care about heart and soul. I wasn't with my lady because of what she looked like or how much money she made, I was with her because (I thought) she was a beautiful soul with plenty of heart...just another mistake in a very long list of mistakes, I guess. Oh well...live and learn, right?

Any site that makes you pay to use it, is the worst to me.

I was just on webdate and i keep on getting these fake women contacting me saying oh ya your so cute and b.s like that and then giving me their email address's and msn info.
Basically i reported them cause more then likely they want to try to hack your msn or spam you. Trust me its happened to me before well not the hacking part but the spamming part as whenever i go on yahoo i get spammed and lucky for me i gave a fake women by junk mail email account and she sends me stupid messages about fake rolex's and all that.
So alot of sites contain too many fake people.

The worst dating site is the one that yields no positive results but really, isn't that just luck of the draw..
I have been a member of Plenty Of Fish twice and still am a member. My two serious encounters did not work out but that had nothing to do with the site. POF has positive links to the real world. For example, there are numerous get togethers - Meet'N'Greets - and social functions of all kinds that are set up by the members with the blessing of POF.
One of the things that, were it not for the lady I'm visiting here, would compel me to ignore or leave is the two-tier system. Almost bait-and-switch. Our site is free BUT if you pay a little you can get such-and-so. Dishonest? Slick marketing? "Oh, now that we have your information, did we forget to mention...?" On POF you immediately have access to all functions.
With Book Of Matches, BoM, you have a point system that I really don't worry about except to say that below a certain point level you can not participate in certain functions.
These are experiences I have had and the resulting thoughts about them. What you consider the worst, or the best, will have to be your call.

"Best" or "worst" are very subjective appraisals; one person might rave about one particular friendship/dating site, while others might have nothing good to say about it. It all depends on your own personal experience, and on what you hope to get out of any given site. So far, my experience with Match Doctor has been "fair to middling," but since I'm only here for friendship, I'm fairly easy to please.
My one beef with Match Doctor is that some people in the chat rooms can be downright nasty, but that's usually the case wherever you go to chat. Unfortunately, some people still haven't learned that; "If you don't have anything nice to say, you should just STFU already!" 
I also found their chat rooms MUCH nicer...no mean or rude people, far fewer bad attitudes in general; furthermore, NO verbally-abusive types will be tolerated and, once reported, such types are immediately banned from the site! However, unfortunately, they've recently taken the chat rooms off-line; I've spoken with customer care, and they informed me that the chat rooms will be back eventually, so it's only a matter of time before I get back to chatting with other "pet parents" on this 100% free friendship/dating site.
That's right, this other site is 100% free! There's absolutely no charge for anything! Emails, instant messages, the whole nine yards, all absolutely free. Even if you can't get into the chat rooms (for the time being, anyway!) you can still email/IM other members any time you please. I've also found their customer care department to be very friendly, helpful and caring, and very quick to take action when I've reported SPAM/scam emails!
PLUS when you first sign up, and for each day you log in thereafter, they'll donate money to the animal charity of your choice; they donate $1.00 for each new membership, plus another $0.01 for every day that you log in. As if that's not enough, they also donate another $1.00 for every friend you invite who also signs up for a new membership!
It's a pretty fair deal all around for us "pet people"; we get to make all kinds of wonderful new friends and acquaintances, and we get to help out various pet rescue/animal health & welfare charities into the bargain! All of the donations come from their site sponsors, so members don't pay one red cent for anything. All they ask is that their members support the site sponsors, mostly companies offering various pet-related products, like pet health-care insurance plans, various pet toys, pet-related jewelry for people AND their pets, specialty pet foods, et cetera. I haven't heard of anyone having a problem with ANY of the site sponsors, especially since they're doing so much good for so many needy animals.
So, then...to any other "pet parents" out there in "Match Doctor Land," you might want to head on over to Animal Attraction.Com, just to see what it's all about. I've enjoyed my Animal Attraction experience very much, and I've made all kinds of wonderful new "pet parent" friends during my time there. Whether you're a proud "doting pet parent"  like me, or just someone who loves animals, Animal Attraction.Com just might be the very best 100% free friendship/relationship/dating site around, IMHO!
Just my .02's worth, sincerely,  "Mac"

I've got to say New Age Connections. Although for three months it was quite cheap, I was incredibly disappointed by the fact that I got no messages, no replies to messages, and nobody is ever online, and their email doesn't work. Quite obviously a scam to say the least. I've tried eharmony, and many others. Yahoo is quite bad personally. I've found both singlesnet and plenty of fish to be great sites. A few bad experiences, but for the most part plenty of replies and met some great people, just not my match yet.
