by admin on October 4, 2010

1.

Match.com
In 1995, Match.com was created to help users easily navigate online dating profiles and have throughout the years provided all the tools necessary for members to find quality date matches. Membership prices run fairly similar to other sites and your chance of receiving matches and replies is statistically higher than with smaller sites. Because Match.com is the biggest dating site in the world and carries a high Google page ranking, your profile is sure to be viewed by a high number of people. This fact alone makes it easy catch a view fish in the pond.

Zoosk.com
Users can browse other profiles free of charge. Options include sending messages, winking, sending gifts and adding friendship. Profiles are detailed and contain photos. The graphics of the website are distinctively social media style, and resemble Face Book’s friendly, colorful and plump lettering.

3.
This website differs from other dating sites in that they find the matches for you based on a detailed questionnaire and the patented Compatibility Matching System.  eHarmony takes the science of dating very seriously and this translates into a no frills site.  They get down to business making quality matchups and also manage control of contact until both customers are ready to contact each other. There is a strong concentration on establishing long term relationships instead of casual flings.
4. AdultFriendFinder
Started shortly after 1996, along with FriendFinder.com.  The site was created to bring together swingers, cheaters and one-night stands into one online community.  The website targets activities to a specified niche of clients who want to try something a little different from the norm.  Friend Finder decided to set aside this risqué group by creating a site for users who aren’t offended by nude, risqué or pornographic images.FREE to register!! 6 months FREE with a 12 Month Gold Membership & One Month FREE when you order a 3 Month Membership!!
5.
PerfectMatch.com
Unique to other dating sites in that they provide a free personality analysis created by the Duet Total Compatibility System.  The analysis offers “perfect matches” based on the outcome of answer results. The main focus of the site is on finding a long-term partner, rather than meeting new friends or going on casual dates.  This site is an ideal choice for users seeking a serious relationship.  More and more daters are looking for ways to save time and Perfect Match just does that by providing targeted tools to narrow down prospective candidates. It’s always a risk to find Mr. or Mrs. Right and taking out the mystery work with focused profile reports get you even closer to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
6.

Chemistry.com
The sister site for Match.com and is set up to work a little differently. It utilizes a patented Personality Profile quiz (as reported on shows like 20/20 and Good Morning America) to assist in acquiring matches for their customers based on the result answers of their questionnaire. The registration takes slightly longer than on most websites, but the Personality Profile presents some unique feedback in garnering matches for client’s interests. Membership fees are more expensive than other sites and this site has had its share of negative press as well.  Numerous reviews have claimed Chemistry has not lived up to its hype, has a poor site design and matches are at best weak.

SeniorPeopleMeet.com
Has been a popular dating site choice for seniors on the web and offers a lot of search option features. 60 might just be the new 40. Now more than ever it’s become hip and fun to be a part of an online dating hub, giving seniors an alternative way to communicate with other singles their age. No longer do seniors need to stay inside and spend weekend dates with their cats. Tell your kitty not to wait up and get going on finding a real date, hopefully; one that won’t paw at your food or run off with your valuables. You can be savvy and smart at the same time. Use common sense when communicating with anyone online and don’t fall victim to any scams.
