Friendfinder

One might wonder the logic and need of having a dating site when all you need to do is to go out and meet as many people in real as possible and select the one who you think is ideal for your life. But if was so easy, then why do so many dating websites flourish in this time? It’s simple, nowadays all people lack is time; everybody has to reach somewhere, be someone and find something. All this hooplas drop them in a nightmare situation when they are not able to meet, talk, or have a relationship with anyone. Friendfinder.com is one of the most popular websites that ensures you all help in finding that perfect date, or a friend. The ambience and infrastructure created by the site is over the top and is easy to navigate for a normal user. They currently have over 3 Million active members.

FriendFinder.com covers all aspects of Dating and Relationships and has the largest amount of Relationship types to choose from. FriendFinder.com offers more than a static directory of people and people join for a sense of community and the ability to be amongst other people with similar mindsets and desires. They also enhance the member experience with daily horoscopes, photo ratings, free egreeting cards, and the interactive FriendFinder Magazine (articles, poems, polls, answers to questions) written by and for their members.

FriendFinder.com also makes it a point to constantly evolve to meet the wants and needs of its members and is introducing many new features developed based on the responses for the member polls and email feedback. It also has started its “Friend Network” which is an online social networking community connected to FriendFinder personals. You can view photos and profiles of your friends, and see how you’re connected to friends of friends.

Setting up a profile is very easy and simple. You can include your basic information, personal information, physical information, location etc. The best thing is that you can include 5 multiple photos, 5 multiple video introduction and also voice introduction. You can even HOTLIST your favourite members on the site. The Standard membership of the site is free of cost but offers limited facilities. A Standard member (unpaid) can search and view other member profiles but if you want to contact other FriendFinder members, you’ll have to purchase a membership. They are 2 types of paid memberships, Silver and Gold. Most common benefits for both these memberships are: they can view and contact all the members, their profile & photo will be approved much faster, they get priority of listing before standard members. You can get extra option of allowing Standard Members (non paying members) the ability to contact you if you choose to pay an additional small monthly fee.

Searching the profile is also simple and free user can easily search the profile according the interest, age, and by geographical region. There is something more for the Gold & Silver members only. Gold & Silver members can include some more information in search criteria like: Language Known, Person’s race, listing with photo’s, listing with personality, height, children’s, body type and religion etc.

Gold members also get some special features like Instant messaging services, can save searches customized by age, location, preferences, interests, receive “Cupid” notification emails about new members who match your criteria and their profiles will appear near the top of search results.

The best feature on Friendfinder.com is they allow user to give their personality test to reveal their personality to others and can also include some of the additional question in their profile like: Dating Preference, Dreams & Goals, Personality Traits, and Outlook on life, Sports & Outdoors, Physical Stuff, Hobbies & Interests, and Entertainment this helps other members to know about the user’s interest.

The site is online since 1998. Though the site claims it has teamed up with ConfirmID to verify profiles information provided by the users, reports indicate that this sites approval process is not foolproof and there may be a few more fake profiles than on other dating sites.

Then again, FriendFinder.com’s well-designed user interface, solid membership base, and unique features make it great online dating service.
