Online Dating Site Review – Match.com

The Good of Match.com
The idea that bigger is better counts for something in online dating. The more members on a site, the more possible connections you have a chance of making. Match.com boasts over 15 million users making it one of the most popular online dating sites besides Adultfrienedfinder. The pool of users within Match.com is also quite diverse, so with all those members and diversity, you have a better chance at meeting a prospective date, as opposed to a dating site that has fewer members.
You can also run searches and get full access to photos/information of people you are interested in without having to pay. You can narrow searches down to finding someone that’s within walking distance of where you live and even see their latest activity time on the site.
Match.com is user friendly with fantastic search options; the site is easy to navigate unlike some other online dating sites and Match has an iPhone application as well as an Android application.
The site also offers some unique features, such as MindFindBind™ which is an exclusive column from Dr. Phil, doling out dating advice on how to get into the proper mindset for a first date, how to find the perfect match, etc. Another unique features is Match.com Platinum™, which is more of a matchmaking service as opposed to a dating service. With Match.com Platinum™, you will get your own matchmaker who will help weed down the users for you. The final unique feature of Match.com is MatchWords™, which allows the user to come up with a list of words that other people on the site can search them out with.
The bad of Match.com
- No social networking features like instant messaging or chat boards
- You can’t meet/contact anyone until you pay for a full membership
- Unlike some other online dating sites (most notably e-Harmony.com), automated matches at Match.com aren’t based on any scientific criteria
- Additional costs, on top of the basic membership, if you hope to use their unique features like MindFindBind™ (close t0 $10 more), etc.
Flexting
Forget about love notes. This is the 21st century and it’s all about flirting via texting, otherwise known as flexting. More and more people are declaring their love via mobile phone which is perfect for the shy and extrovert alike.
There are plenty of advantages to sending sweet or naughty messages via your cell phone. For those who are already in a relationship, a flirty text can be a wonderful way of keeping the spice in your relationship and serve as a thoughtful reminder when received unexpectedly. If you want to let your loved one in on what you’re thinking but have difficulty in spitting it out then the text message will do it for you!
On the flip side, if you’ve just started dating or have a crush on someone, a text with a flirtatious intonation will certainly leave your crush intrigued and waiting for more.
Either way, sending a sexy text is not only fun but a great way of being able to flirt! It’s a great way to keep things heated up between you two until the next time you are able to see each other in person.
