Is Match.com the best dating site for you?

Match.com was the first dating site in the world (founded in 1993) and arguably gives it members the best chance to “make love happen,” backing up this claim with a “6 months free” guarantee.  The most popular dating site in the USA and the most successful in terms of creating more dates, relationships and marriages, Match.com has annual revenues approaching $1Bn. This is thanks to Match.com having more paying members than any other dating site.

In my experience of using dating sites and any other services in this world you get what you pay for and you won’t find many casual daters there but what you will find (largely) are genuine, intelligent, sensitive human beings all looking for a soul mate. Thankfully the quest for love is still shared by the vast majority of people – well at least on Match.com.

It’s no surprise it has more paying members than any other dating site. This is good news for most of us out there who are looking for a serious relationship and the more ambitious looking for love because by and large singles who pay are looking for the self same thing!

What does Match.com offer that other dating sites don’t?

If you can’t get make dates or establish relationships on Match.com then clearly you’re doing something wrong! Match.com is crammed full of the latest communication tools and perhaps more importantly lots of genuine attractive singles all looking for love.

Match.com’s user interface is slick and superb-there’s just no other site out there that’s as good but then of course as the first dating site in the world they’ve had longer than anyone else to perfect it. It’s so easy to find exactly what and who you’re looking for you could almost do it blindfolded!

So please please if you’re not getting the connections you want don’t start moaning or asking for your money back from those nice people at Match.com. Face it you need to look at what you’re doing first starting with your online profile.

If you’re unclear as to what makes an attention grabbing profile or any other aspect of successful online dating you can find lots of helpful information here. If you don’t really know what to say about yourself try completing this new free “who am I” personality test. It will tell you exactly who you are and this will give you a steer for the type of person you’re looking for whether you believe “birds of a feather flock together” or opposites attract!

If you’re having little or no success with online dating then continuing to shell out your hard earned cash for a subscription doesn’t make sense so you might like to consider paying for a professional copywriter to create an attention grabbing profile. We offer such a service at a very reasonable price and your new attention grabbing profile is bound to get you noticed and boost your self esteem!

Match.com is so confident you’ll find someone special within the first six months of subscribing that if you don’t they will give you  another six-month subscription free.

Features

Matching System
  • It does take a fair amount of time to complete Match.com's in depth questionnaire - probably about 30 minutes on average but it is broken into three main categories and nine subcategories including "About Me," "About My Match" and "In My Own Words."
  • It's as well to remember that you're shopping for a potential soul mate here not a trolley of groceries so it's important to take your time and think carefully before you provide answers - your future happiness may well depend on it!
  • If you find yourself stuck for an answer you are allowed to choose "no answer" and to continue completing the questionnaire.
  • The Daily 6 shows six potential matches on your own homepage each day based on the accepted "birds of a feather flock together" rule as distinct from opposites attract which of course anyone who has been divorced will agree is a fallacy.

Search & Other Features
Match.com leads the dating site field with a plethora of great not to mention very useful features. Here are just some of them:
  • MatchWords™: You can choose  words that other users can find you with and Match.com will also provide you with the most searched for and recent  MatchWords™ to help you  get started. e.g. if you're a dog lover you could add this to your list of words so that other dog lovers can find you.
  • Match.com Platinum™: If you don't have the time or inclination to weed through lots of members' profiles you can have this done for you by a professional matchmaker who will come up with a short list for you.
  • MindFindBind™ With Dr. Phil: Maybe you haven't tried online dating before and you'd like some help to get you in the right frame of mind before you start. Dr. Phil's Match.com will help you to get the right mind set, how to find your prefect match and establish a long term bond with them.


Ease of  Use

Joining Match.com is as easy as pie thanks to their questionnaire wizard where if you can’t answer a question, want to come back to it later or simply don’t want to answer it you can simply move on to the next question or next page.

It also displays a progress bar so you can always see how far you’ve got and how far you have to go to complete the questionnaire andyou can answer the majority of questions by simply ticking the appropriate boxes.

Perhaps you’ve hear of the expression usually used in computer parlance “rubbish in rubbish out” so please take your time and consider the questions and the consequences carefully before answering.

Of course it’s especially important that you take time to describe yourself accurately and the type of person you’re looking for since the more accurate you are here will determine how well your daily six matches meet your requirements!

Using Match.com on a day to day basis is easy too and it’s exciting waiting to see which daily six matches appear on your homepage each day, finding out who has viewed your profile, winked at you, Favorited you and emailed you!

I could go on about many more useful features on Match.com to help you in your quest to find your perfect  match but really the best way to find out is to take a look for yourself and see.

Derek Collinson is a Business Consultant and Internet Entrepreneur and the founder of four of the most popular dating sites on the internet. The first site Derek founded was www.doglover.biz, the first dating site in the world for people who love dogs and want to share their lives with like minded people. The second was www.attracion.com for people who are only interested in one thing – finding their soul mate and the third was www.thirdagedating.com for people 40 and over who want to share their lives with people from the same era. Recently Derek created a new dating site called www.ourlifeourtime.com for people 50 and over. Derek is a lifelong animal lover and vegetarian as well as being a qualified Reiki practitioner and uses Reiki to heal both people and all creatures great and small. He spent three years using dating sites as a way of finding his soul mate and during that time gained invaluable knowledge of online dating through his experiences of meeting people online and offline as well as from running his three dating sites. Derek’s confidence in online dating was rewarded when seven years ago he met his partner on his own dating site for dog lovers – www.doglover.biz. He created howdoidate.com in March, 2013  to provide dating and relationship advice from qualified people to enable others to find love and build fulfilling relationships built on mutual respect, understanding and nurture.
