Joining

To signup, just go along to the home page and fill the simple questionnaire. You'll need an email address, and optionally can provide a phone number for verification purposes.

The standard account lets you try out the service, with minimal fuss. Once inside, you have the opportunity to fill in the additional detail on your profile at your leisure.

Adding photos isn't compulsory, but without them your chances of anyone taking you seriously are slim. There's an import button that lets you copy in photos from your Facebook page if you so choose.

Features

As one of the SuccessfulMatch group of dating sites, they offer a standardized, yet highly effective set of features.

At the top of your checklist of things to try should be the searching tool. It allows you to find matches by zip code, username or even keywords. However, certain options, including filtering results without a photo are only available after upgrading.

Paying members get a far more extensive list of things they can search on. There is a search by distance, to locate nearby members. In addition there's the compatibility matches, and reverse matches. These are there to bring up individuals who you might click with.

After upgrade you also get higher listing priority which means you're more likely to be noticed by other members.

Prices for 1 month membership start at $29.95. See full list.

Everyone can access the "My Lists" pages, which will tell you instantly how popular or not you are. It shows who's looked at your profile, who's liked your photos, and who has added you as a favorite.

It also keeps a history of who you've exchanged messages with.

Community

The site is fairly active, with a community of around 34,000 people regularly visiting there. Guest (standard) users can create lists of favorites and sends winks and flirts but other communication is firmly limited.

Using the site as a guest for any period of time becomes frustrating. You'll regularly be diverted to the "upgrade now" page each time you access one of the premium features - like messaging. Standard users can only reply to messages sent by Gold users.
