Online Dating Reviews

DreamMates.com Best quality site I've found, 7/31/02
Reviewer: Cross
I used alexa to find some dating sites recently and had to come back here to review this one in particular. After having used most of the larger dating sites for a couple weeks this one stands out as being the best. The navigation is the easiest to understand and the searching can be a simple or complex as you like. THeir Instant Messenger is great too, though I only used it a couple times. This site made me very happy, its rare to find sites where enough thought is put into how the user feels.

This site can work for you. You can meet friendly, attractive women, I did. But beware, the immediacy of online dating can rush things too much. You can go from acquaintances in a coffee shop to much much more far too fast, and then be left with nothing but memories. So take it slow, and you could find love.

Romantic PlanetA+ Dating Site,
This is not one of your "cookie cutter" dating services. Romantic Planet is sublime in the way that it finds relevant matches and keeps track of things for you. Also, The customer support is friendly and responsive.  It seems to have one of the most intelligent matching systems out there. It also has more privacy options than I've seen before. The introduction process was appealing because it prevented the people that I wasn't interested in corresponding with from being able to have further contact with me.  You are not likely to find a better site out there. I have made several friends already and hope to soon meet the "one" for me :-)

eHarmonyMuch better than other online dating sites,
After reading the exclusively angry reviews posted here so far, I thought I would share something that is perhaps a little more balanced.

I heard about eharmony through a friend who really loved the site... she raved about how much she had in common with the people she met there. At this point I was rather jaded against any online prospects because my experience was that the vast majority of people online didn't fit the profile of what I'm looking for (good personality, intelligent, high values, not grossly overweight)

Advertisers are very good at attracting a certain market segment. I had tried sites like match.com and a basket of others, but I found that they all tended to target a segment of society that I'm simply not interested in. The fascinating thing about eharmony is about six months after I joined, I started hearing their ads on the radio stations I absolutely love... like talk radio and sports radio. So I know they definitely are trying to target people like me.

When I tried eharmony, I was initially put off by the very long questionaire they use to match you with others... it literally took 45 minutes. Furthermore, I found that I the first time I took the test, I was answering the way I thought I "should" answer... my personality profile and the matches I received reflected this dynamic. After chatting with customer service, they agreed to give me another shot at the profile. Now, I think they have a 90% accurate picture of who I am... and I think that is excellent given that this is an automated personality test. Since then, I have been quite pleased with the quality of people that I have met through eharmony. I still get matched with people that aren't for me, but I meet far more people who are the kind of people I am truly interested in.

All the users on this site that are active seem to work for IMatchUP. I have even had users tell me they actually are paid by IMatchup. Save your time and definitely don't waste your money!

This site has lots of cool matchmaking features, tons of pics, and a great chat system (photochat) where you can see the face of the chatters... overall a very fun community for singles. Highly recommended!!
