Our Review:

Established in 1995, Match.com has become one of the largest and most popular dating sites available online. With over 8 million members, it's user-friendly features and advanced communication options give it broad appeal to experienced online daters and newcomers alike.

Similar to most of it's competitors, Match offers free limited access to users. While "free" members won't benefit from every feature available, this "limited access" is for an unlimited period of time. You can complete and post a profile (with pictures), search the member database, and receive "winks" and email messages. But only paying members can send messages. So if you see someone you like, you'll have to pay a monthly membership fee to write a response or make the initial contact.

With various forms of communication available such as IM/Chat (instant messenger), email, telephone, video, audio, etc., you have a variety of options to "connect" at Match. To ensure your privacy, they've included built-in “anonymizer” features to ensure a safe and secure enviroment no matter what options you choose.

Match.com's sign up process is both quick and painless. But it's relaxed profile requirements can be a blessing and a curse. While users can have a profile up-and-running in minutes, searching for the "ideal match" can be difficult at times. Even though many members take the time to create comprehensive and accurate profiles, others leave much to the imagination by not answering profile questions and only writing one or two sentence descriptions. But the introduction of “Two-Way Matching” and the “Venus” program have made it easier by narrowing down the most compatible matches based upon completed profile questions.

If you have any problems along the way, you'll find the FAQ (frequently asked questions) section at Match quite informative. Match also offers helpful advice, information, and articles in their online magazine, “MatchScene”. And don't forget to take a few minutes to fill out the “Personal Attraction Test”. You may just learn something new about yourself you didn't know!

Match.com is highly recommended for experienced online daters and newcomers alike. The mass appeal and excellent features of this service may even prevent you from trying other services all together!
