OUR REVIEW:

With 8 million users, Match.com may very well have the largest number of profiles on the Internet. You will find no shortage of listings regardless of where you live, and most of the profiles are pretty in-depth because of the comprehensive questionaire that members must fill out.

Browsing listings and creating your own profile is absolutely free. Your profile can include multiple pictures, as well as voice files. Each profile is pretty detailed, covering physical attributes including tattoos and piercings, as well as favorite local hot spots, hobbies/interests, and even what pets you own. We have found Match.com's profiles to be one of the most extensive and best available.

The search feature is pretty standard, but includes a "keyword search" which can come in handy if you are looking for something particular. Also available are "custom searches" that let you get more specific about interests, lifestyle, appearance, etc.

As with most dating services, you can send a "wink" for free, which is just an expression of interest to another member. When you decide to make contact with someone beyond a "wink," you need to sign up for full membership, which is $24.95/month. Once you are a member, you can contact other members using a variety of options, which include chat, phone, and email.

The matching features are probably the best aspect of Match.com. They offer a non-intimidating and relatively short "personality test" as well as a "physical attraction test" where you pick facial features and body types you like from a series of images. Although these tests can be fun to take, they only help in selecting a match if a potential match has also taken these tests. But even on a more basic level, Match.com offers you plenty of help in finding matches through their "total attraction matching" search feature, which finds your potential matches based on answers you gave for the extensive profile. In terms of matchmaking features, Match.com offers way more than most other sites.

Overall, we highly recommend Match.com. It is a fun, well-thought-out site with plenty of features and tons of listings. At the very least, we suggest you create a profile and search the listings a while to see what this site has to offer.

FEATURES:

  • Post multiple photos
  • Chat with other members
  • Add voice files to your profile
  • "Total Attraction Matching" feature finds matches in your area
  • Send free "winks" to members you are interested in, and see if they "wink" back
