pride ourselves for running the friendliest and easiest to use dating
site on the web. Learning more about MatchAve.com is easy, just give us
a try. It is free to sign-up, send and reply to messages and explore all
the features we have to offer.
WHAT WE FOUND: Free
and fast to join, only a minimum of information is required (but it�s
best to complete as much of your profile as you are comfortable with)
and up to 5 photos can be added to your profile, but they must be ok for
everyone to see them, so if you want to show enough skin that borders on
or passes risqu�, don�t, the photos won�t be posted. Interestingly
enough, this is the only service we�ve come across (in 5 years of
reviews) that asks if you�re looking for an �online friend� or a �real
world friend� as well as a romantic relationship. Your Instant Messenger
contact information can be included with your profile but we suggest you
have a separate account set up to use, rather than the main IM you may
have, as a security precaution. The verification letters you need to
enter to register as a regular member are CaSE senSIitivE, so enter them
with care. Regular (free) and premium members can read and post comments
in the forums. Free members can send messages to premium members, not to
other free members, and reply to messages from premium members and
browse the profiles but not use the search feature, browsing is with
premium member profiles appearing first. Premium members can send
unlimited messages to regular (free) and other premium members as well
as use the search form to find someone by specific details and premium
members profiles appear first in the browsing and search results. Fast
to join, easy to use, MatchAve qualifies as a free service but you�ll be
browsing for a long time if you don�t join as a premium member (monthly
membership is very cheap).
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free
to join, send and reply to messages from premium members. Membership is
cheap and gets you in the top of the results for many more replies to

THEY SAY:Join
LetsMeetUp to meet singles for flirting and dating online! Use the
latest video streaming technology to watch video profiles of other
members and record your own profile instantly using a web cam. LetsMeetUp is the first matchmaking service of its kind, with fantastic
competitions and features in The Lounge.
WHAT WE FOUND:
LetsMeetUp is an online video community that is great for people that
own a webcam and want to meet other singles through video profiles and
for people that want to see more than just a picture. Currently
LetsMeetUp is free to join, post your profile and contact other members,
so join now because soon it will be changed to a paid membership. (No
date is available for this change.) The profile form is basic and will
only take a minute to complete, the real fun here is the video profiles
that are available. Be sure you have a webcam ready to place your own
video ad or join the competitions to win one. Creating your video
profile is easy but does require a software download (automatically
installed, don�t worry about being a technical person). �The Lounge� is
an online magazine that has plenty of fun articles, advice, contests and
things to do. Searches are fast and browsing the profiles is easy to do
and quick to find the type of profiles you�re interested in. They really
made a site worth hanging out at when they decided on the features to be
made available at LetsMeetUp. (Note: Internet Explorer is required to
access the features of this service, other browsers are not currently
supported.)
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Currently
free to join (may change soon to paid memberships), post your profile
and contact other members. Chat room and online magazine. Be sure to
have a webcam ready to create your video profile.

WHAT
THEY SAY:Personals
dating service for singles looking for love and romance. Totally free to
post personal ad, search, send and receive messages.
WHAT WE FOUND:
Love.org is one of the easiest to use services we�ve reviewed. Currently
free to join, place your personal ad and send and receive messages, we
recommend that you complete a quick search of your local area before you
join. That will usually convince you that there are people in your area,
or with the attributes that you find attractive, that you want to meet.
The search is geared for members from America and Canada since these
members can search by zip code to localize their results. Other
countries match by the country. You can also narrow the results by a
person�s appearance, including tattoos, body piercings, hair and eye
color, etc. When joining you will be emailed your account information so
be sure to double check your email address. The profile form is quite
easy to answer, includes room for up to 5 pictures, and uses your
answers to questions that will be incorporated into sentences to avoid
the checklist look that many other services use but with 8 essay
questions you may want to keep your profile invisible until you�ve fully
completed it. We really like the �Interest Meter� feature that allows
you to automatically place someone in your hot list or interest list as
you view their profile. Messages are sent anonymously through the
Love.org system to your member message center. You have to login to
check for messages. Use the agent feature to have profiles searched
automatically and match notifications emailed to you as new members
join. The free membership allows for up to 10 messages a day per member
and you can become a gold member and have unlimited message capability
for a fee.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free
to place your personal ad and picture, currently free to send and
receive 10 messages per day or become a gold member for unlimited
messaging. Straight and same sex personals

WHAT
THEY SAY: We
pride ourselves for running the friendliest and easiest to use dating
site on the web. Learning more about MatchAve.com is easy, just give us
a try. It is free to sign-up, send and reply to messages and explore all
the features we have to offer.
WHAT WE FOUND: Free
and fast to join, only a minimum of information is required (but it�s
best to complete as much of your profile as you are comfortable with)
and up to 5 photos can be added to your profile, but they must be ok for
everyone to see them, so if you want to show enough skin that borders on
or passes risqu�, don�t, the photos won�t be posted. Interestingly
enough, this is the only service we�ve come across (in 5 years of
reviews) that asks if you�re looking for an �online friend� or a �real
world friend� as well as a romantic relationship. Your Instant Messenger
contact information can be included with your profile but we suggest you
have a separate account set up to use, rather than the main IM you may
have, as a security precaution. The verification letters you need to
enter to register as a regular member are CaSE senSIitivE, so enter them
with care. Regular (free) and premium members can read and post comments
in the forums. Free members can send messages to premium members, not to
other free members, and reply to messages from premium members and
browse the profiles but not use the search feature, browsing is with
premium member profiles appearing first. Premium members can send
unlimited messages to regular (free) and other premium members as well
as use the search form to find someone by specific details and premium
members profiles appear first in the browsing and search results. Fast
to join, easy to use, MatchAve qualifies as a free service but you�ll be
browsing for a long time if you don�t join as a premium member (monthly
membership is very cheap).
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free
to join, send and reply to messages from premium members. Membership is
cheap and gets you in the top of the results for many more replies to
your profile. Straight and same sex personals available.

Meet Your Greens is a new service for the people that care about other
living things, besides people, and aim for a higher degree of
understanding of our environment through lifestyle choices (meditation,
spiritualism, dietary choices). Join for the free trial and (at the time

pictures of yourself with your profile, then go forth and begin
browsing/searching the service. Since this is a very new service, your

Whether you're looking to meet a friend, a lover, a pen pal or just someone to play tennis with, either in your hometown or around the world, Megafriends is for you! By using our state-of-the-art FriendSearch system we can help you find that special someone quickly and easily. Plus, we also offer an anonymous messaging system, live chat, message forums and more!
WHAT WE FOUND:When Joe and Marg (the creators and owners of Megafriends) moved to a new city, they found it hard to meet new friends because they don't go to bars and they work at home. So they created a place where people can come together and meet, for friendship, someone to travel with, as penpals and even for getting together and dating. You will find it easy to browse the personals, by state in America (the most ads are placed by Americans), by province in Canada and by country for the rest of the world. Searching includes the options of education level, body type, language spoken and even type of relationship you want (including "secret affair!). When browsing or searching the personals you will be able to only read the basic comments and view a photo if available. You must become a member, for free, to see the complete ad and to place your own at Megafriends, to use one of the 5 chat rooms, and be able to send a limited number of messages to other members. You will also be able to receive email messages from Megafriends when a compatible new member signs up, so you can be the first to send them a message! You'll want to become a Gold member to reply to messages, have your personal ad located at the top of the listings, and be able to include your instant messenger information included with your ad. Over all, this is a friendly service, easy to get around, and a lot of ads available for Americans.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to post your personal ad, free to send messages, become a member to reply. Plenty of activities including forums, games and chat rooms. Straight, same sex, and secret affair personal ads available here.

SAY: SpinHeart is fast growing dating service with innovative
solutions and great contents. Chat with high quality singles on heart touching
topics and find your true love with our popular 1-to-1 topical chat.
Entertaining profile explorer, advanced search, private mails and more. All are
free.
WHAT WE FOUND: SpinHeart
is a free membership dating service that has a lot of the services you�d
normally find in a pay dating service. Joining is fast and you can quickly start
to send messages to other members but you do have to join before you can search
or browse current member profiles. After you join make your first stop the
�Who�s Online� section so you can find someone to join a 1 on 1 instant
messaging. There is also private general chat rooms that accommodate up to 4
members. What is different about these chat rooms is you have the ability to set
up a set of questions (the Qzone) to be used in the chat to help eliminate those
awkward pauses often found in chat rooms. The Qzone can also be used to start
interest in your profile with other members by inviting them to answer your
questions or by answering the Qzone questions of other members. We recommend
taking the 5 minutes that is needed to complete the profile section and be sure
to have a picture ready to upload.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free
to join and contact other members. Include a picture with your profile. Chat
rooms, Qzone questionnaires and 1 on 1 instant messaging. Straight and same-sex

WHAT
THEY SAY: Yahoo! Personals gives Yahoo! users a way to find and interact
with other people who may share their interests and goals. Just like a
real community, different people may have different opinions and
personalities in Yahoo! Personals.
WHAT WE FOUND: The
Yahoo Personals service is only for people that live in America or
Canada (currently) although we do expect international versions to come
out soon. To post an ad you�ll need to be a Yahoo member so you�ll be
prompted to do that first before you join to post your profile. There
are 7 steps to posting your profile but they don�t take very long to
complete. Begin with the type of ad you want to post, or not post. What
this means is that you can keep your profile private so it is not
included in the general search results, but if you answer an ad that
person can read it. Next give yourself a name for your ad. We recommend
that you do not use your Yahoo username, but use something else for your
ad. This will keep your privacy intact in that people won�t be able to
easily guess your Yahoo email address. The next steps will allow you to
post information about yourself, about the type of person you are
looking for and the type of relationship you are interested in beginning
as well as upload pictures and become a subscribing member. Posting your
profile is free but to be able to send and reply to messages you must be
a subscribed member. Once your profile is approved, this takes about 24
hours, you can also add a voice message and a video message to your
profile. The search system is fast and easily customizable using zip
codes, city names and �Importance Levels�, so you can narrow down your
search and find the singles that you really want to meet. You can also
�Be a matchmaker� and search for a match for a friend. The friend will
then have to become a member, but it�s a start to not being single
anymore. The �Mutual Match� system allows you to easily be matched with
people that have the same likes and dislikes as you and will
automatically alert you so you can send them a message (once you�re
subscribed to send messages). And don�t forget about the Yahoo Instant
Messenger chat program: once you have subscribed you can instantly chat
with other subscribed members when they are showing as being online.
With Yahoo being one of the largest web destinations, you should become
a member to see all of the profiles of people that are in your area.
You�ll be surprised there are so many singles so close to where you
live.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: You�ll
need to be a member of Yahoo to join and it�s free to post your profile.
Add voice and video messages to your profile. Chat using Yahoo IM. Add
up to 5 pictures with your profile. Become a subscribing member to send
and reply to messages. Straight and same sex personals available.
