IranianPersonals

The community

Iranian Personals is an active online community comprised mostly of Iranian people seeking romantic connections as well as marriage. It belongs to the World Singles Network and offers a standard, yet respectable range of tools and features to help people locate and connect with one another through online chat, messaging and ice breakers.

Registering on the site

On joining, after choosing a user name and password, you will need to answer a few personal questions and supply a mini-biography. Adding a photo and intro-video is an optional step. Adding at least one photo is recommended.

Profiles are actively checked and moderated by the support team. If you don't want to be instantly rejected it's worth spending a little time making your profile worthwhile and readable. Those who don't fully complete their profile will also find that certain tasks such as sending emails or flirting will be blocked.

Personality Match

World Singles have their own branded matchmaking system known as "Personality Match". It's a short test of 3 pages and should take no more than 3 minutes. It can be taken for free and gives you a personality score based on the 5 factors:

• Assertiveness
• Self-Discipline
• Sociability
• Self-Confidence
• Imagination

Upgrading

To access other functions such as detailed searches, unlimited emails and instant messaging, it will be necessary to upgrade to a Platinum membership. Free account holders can send messages and flirts but only if they display a photo. All registered users can also make use of the photo gallery, message boards and online shop.

Conclusion....

Iranianpersonals.com offers extensive personality and video profiles, allowing single Iranians to take the wheel of their dating life and progress in a relationship as fast or slow as they are comfortable. The advice column offers practical help for issues that pertain to Iranian culture. They also offers planned social events for Iranian singles.

One potential drawback is that it follows a standard "white label" format and doesn't provide many specific cultural or religious additions that some may be looking for.
