Our Review:
Simple, safe and affordable, Yahoo Personals
is one of the largest and
most widely-used dating sites on the Web. While it lacks the "flash"
of other popular online dating services, Yahoo Personals does all
the basics extremely well, drawing about four million visitors monthly.
Yahoo Personals has greatly improved since
it was established back in 1997. Members are now able to include
voice and video messages, and the new and improved matchmaking system
is a great addition to the site. Plus, the new Yahoo Personals
Premier service offers a FREE relationship test (similar to eHarmony's) to help members find long-term,
lasting love.
You can sign up for a membership, create
a profile and browse through personal ads for free. Free users can
also reply to messages from members, but aren't able to initiate
contact or use Yahoo Messenger unless they subscribe. If you're
already a Yahoo member, you can sign in and start creating your
profile right away. Non members can register to access Yahoo Personals
and other services offered by Yahoo such as chat, email, etc.
Profiles at Yahoo can be very comprehensive
if users take the time to fill them
out completely. But unfortunately,
some descriptions lack detail and profile questions are often left
unanswered (similar to many large, general online dating sites).
Of course, initiating contact will help you gain a better perspective
on a members relationship potential. But if you need more information
first, Yahoo Personal's Premier service provides increased
clarity about personal interests and individual qualities of subscribers.
Searching is simple and easy with Yahoo Personals.
You can search for matches by location, by interest... or both.
Do a quick search to find singles that live in your area. Or, do
an advanced search and find members that have the specific qualities
you're looking for in a partner. Yahoo's "Mutual Matching"
option is a great feature which allows you to see members who are
looking for people like you. And "Matches By Mail" will
deliver relevant profiles directly to your personal in-box, keeping
you informed about new members that meet your personal criteria
and love interests.
If you're looking for a simple and easy way to meet singles online,
Yahoo Personals is the way to go! With all the same great features
you'd expect from
a TOP online dating service, membership in the millions, and a name
like "Yahoo"... how could you go wrong?
