The following websites are the best options for online dating with other Munich residents. All of the sites are populated by lots of Munich-based singles. The sites are mostly populated with German speakers but members are, of course, free to publish English-language profiles. Indeed, English may even work to your benefit as it makes you stand out as being different from the rest of the pack.
- Muenchner Singles - a matchmaking that is built around a very active chat forum.
- friendscout24.de - €20 per month, Germany-wide, Germany based company
- neu.de - €20 per month, Germany-wide, Germany-based company
- parship.de - €30 per month, Germany-wide, Germany based company
- match.com - €20 per month, probably the largest and most respected worldwide singles site. Has a few more English-speakers than the others above, but less active in total for Munich. Match.com is the network that powers Yahoo! Singles. The two sites are effectively the same one.
- Munich Flirt - just €5 per month and dedicated to Munich only. Used to be very active until around 2005/6, but less so now.
- Craigslist Munich personals - mostly populated with ads of an "adult" nature. Very few serious postings.
