AdultFriendFinder: The Review

The Brain — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:51:05 +0000

The Site: AdultFriendFinder.com (Go There Now)

The Deal: There’s a reason it’s called AdultFriendFinder- this site delivers an adult experience. The web’s most popular sex and swinger community, AdultFriendFinder helps singles and couples find the perfect hook-up. While you may not find love on AdultFriendFinder, love’s probably not what you’re looking for when you go here- other sensations should be satisfying enough.

AdultFriendFinder’s Mission: They say their mission is “to help you get naughty.” We’ll be a little more delicate and say that AdultFriendFinder helps people make physical connections quickly. It’s the biggest player (yes, player) in the market, and that brings a few advantages, including comprehensive geographic reach as well as an ability to add great new features including private calls and webcam chats.

It’s easy to focus on AdultFriendFinder’s sexy profile, but it’s important to look at its business profile too: the parent company has been valued at over a billion dollars. For you, that means that despite the risque nature of the site, you can expect a safe, reliable experience with people who know about customer service, value, and respect.

Who It’s For: Adults. And that’s the only restriction. You’ll find hot girls, sexy guys, and everything in between. Swinger couples, swinger men, swinger women, Black swingers, Asian swingers, Hispanic swingers, Gay swingers, Lesbian swingers, and, well, the list goes on. Anyone looking for a great- and sexual- time can find it on AdultFriendFinder.

The Price: AdultFriendFinder realizes that people like to watch- so it lets them. Anybody can join free and post a profile. It’s free to browse possible hookups too. Upgrading lets users check out profiles, blog, use a webcam, email, and chat with potential lovers.

The Bottom Line: AdultFriendFinder is not for everybody- but if you’re looking for an adult experience of any flavor, this site is the place to find it. There’s lots of hot girls and guys looking for a fun time- AdultFriendFinder gets you one step closer to living the fantasy.

The Brain — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 03:48:17 +0000

The Service: Singlesnet.com (Go There Now)

The Deal: Speedy and sexy, Singlesnet wants to help you find a date as quickly as possible. The site is proud of its 30 second registration process and equally speedy compatibility test. With that in mind, you’ll spend less time answering questions and more time finding great dates.

Singlesnet’s Mission: Singlesnet is simple- simple to register and simple to use. The site even has a simple goal- to get you a date. Millions of diverse members help make Singlesnet a quick place to find a special someone and get ready to meet them. Flexible trials make it easy to explore.

Even though Singlesnet is easy to start using, that doesn’t mean it’s the wild west- the short compatibility test you’ll take helps to weed out the people you don’t want (and throw in the good ones). You can search by zip code, compatibility, or combine the two to find a date that’s perfectly close and perfectly suited for you. The wide reach and passionate user base helps make Singlesnet a vibrant community, wherever you’re located.

Who It’s For: Singlesnet is open to everyone. Anyone looking for Gay dating, Lesbian dating, Asian dating, Black dating, Hispanic dating, a fun night out, a hot hookup, or a new love will find it on Singlesnet.com. With millions of members, everyone leaves happy.

The Price: Singlesnet loves to build its community, so you’ll be free to contact members, receive and read e-mails from members, reply to the e-mails, create your own hot profile, and even use their compatibility technology. If that’s not enough for you, you’ll be able to browse through Singlesnet listings for free and see your future dates.

The Bottom Line: Singlesnet is a great way to dive into online dating-it’s easy to get started, but it’s fun, useful, and addictive enough that you won’t want to stop anytime soon.

eHarmony: The Review

The Brain — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 20:09:37 +0000

The Service: eHarmony.com (Go There Now)

The Deal: Find the love of your life online- eHarmony will help fit you with a person who fits your personality and lifestyle. Using a mix of science and passion, the site promises more reliable pairings than any competitor.

eHarmony’s Mission: eHarmony takes its job seriously- with a full compatibility test, the site is developed to help build lasting marriages. Even better, eHarmony’s team wants those marriages to be happy ones. Dr. Neil Clark Warren heads up the site’s rigorous approach to love, and so far the results are good, with millions of users logging in.

The company leads the web in marriages per pair. In part, that’s due to its unique approach- unlike other sites, eHarmony isn’t a meat market. Users are only allowed to browse the profiles of people they are paired with. Fortunately, most people are too happy with their partners to need to keep looking around.

Who It’s For: eHarmony caters to a group that’s serious about finding long term love (especially through marriage). The site works for Christian dating, Asian dating, Hispanic dating, African American dating, and Senior dating. Users should note that the site does not offer services for those seeking same-sex parters. Though Dr. Warren says the shortcoming is due to the site’s emphasis on marriage and complex compatibility tests, eHarmony has received some criticism for not expanding its offerings more quickly.

The Price: As one of the most advanced online dating sites, eHarmony provides a surprisingly high number of services for free. Users can take a $40 personality profile for free and also browse the site’s highly compatible pairings. When users continue to enjoy the site, special offers are frequently available.

The Bottom Line: eHarmony.com offers users a shot at long term love- after taking a compatibility test, users get a chance to meet the person that they’ll spend their life with. Even better, eHarmony’s compatibility formulas help make that partnership a happy one.
