The Bottom Line
A solid dating site
with a variety of community options and some interesting articles and
content.
Membership
Undisclosed, but around eighty thousand new profiles being
added every week.
Profile Detail
Profiles are fairly basic, with the emphasis being placed
more on the text you use to describe yourself and who you are looking for,
rather than selecting lots of predefined options.
Searching
Searches can be Basic (i.e. how far you are willing to travel,
and an age range), Location specific, or Advanced which allows you to
specify star sign, smoking preferences, type of job etc.
Coverage
Members from around the world, although the site is entirely in
English. Date.com is quite US-centric and so is a good choice for those
living in the States.
Safety
There is the ability to block communication on a per member
basis. Profiles are immediately viewable, there is no manual verification.
How much can be done for free
All searching can be performed for free,
and you can be contacted by other members. You must register (free) before
you can access any of the site. If you want to initiate contact either by
emailing another member, using a chat room, or a "Show Interest" button to
prompt them to check out your profile, you must upgrade to Paid-For
membership. You can pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or a year, with
longer subscriptions attracting substantial discounts.
Site speed and ease of navigation
Can be very slow when lots of members
are on line. Simple logical layout. Free registration takes only two
screens and one of those is the front page.
