Dating and Relationship tips advices & articles

LoopyLove is one of the Top 3 UK Dating sites and one of the world’s most visited web sites by Alexa Ranking. LoopyLove was launched February 14th 2003. It is owned by Allegran Limited, a company that sell advertising on content sites. As we already said LoopyLove is one of the leading UK dating sites and as result they have quite large database of profiles.

LoopyLove Profile Setup review
Profile registration at LoopyLove is fast and easy. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. After completing profile setup you’ll get standart personal ad. We need to note that profile is not so informative. Profile descriptiveness mostly depends on user desire to write about user personality. Personal ad page design could be more accurate and perfect in our point of view.

Site Navigation LoopyLove Review
LoopyLove site navigation is old fashioned and need immediate improvement. Mostly we did not like the way how search results are shown. You see short personal iformation and picture. But a lot of profiles has flowers, dogs or any other photos but user’s photo. We think that dating service should carry about this and do not allow such things. Photos are not pre-moderated and everyone can submit what he want and it is doing site very deterrent to use. LoopyLove design is also could be more modern. Old fashioned design with poor photos inside embarrass users. The only advantage in our navigation review - it is menu section placed on the left site of the page. You can reach any site section in one click.

Free Members Zone at LoopyLove review
Free member can browse and search for personals but you can not email anyone on site. You start off with 300 credits, can get more by uploading photo and receiving advertising emails as well as sms to your mobile but to be able to send at least one email you must have at least 500 credits. LoopyLove offer 3 ways of earning credits: - Uploading your picture to LoopyLove. Earn 100 Credits by going to My Profile to upload your picture.
- Referring friends to the site. Earn 25 Credits for referring your friends plus a bonus of 450 Credits for each one who goes on to register.
- Recording a LoopyLove voice greeting. Phone special phone number to record your voice message and earn 500 Credits when you activate the GreetingCode in My Profile. But after reviewing terms and conditions we found that this feature is paid. Look what they wrote in terms by small prints:”Calls to 0871 numbers are charged at the national rate. Calls to 09063 numbers cost 50p per minute and calls to 09052 numbers cost ?1.20 per minute at all times (BT Premium Rate).

As a free member you can complete Personality Assessment test. LoopyLove staff write that Personal Profile Analysis is not a test. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. Your responses will simply highlight your unique behavioral preferences. It helps to describe your personality but test form is not professionaly done.

Paid Pembers Zone at LoopyLove review
Membership packages allow you to send and receive as many messages as you want during your membership period giving you a chance of contacting matches on LoopyLove. There no paid members area so contacts is only one feature you are paying for. We find this back numbered for 5-6 years. Today dating services allows much more than just contact availability and view video wall with member clips even for a lower price.

LoopyLove Membership Cost and Payment Procedure Review
Payments are accepted by all major credit cards. LoopyLove offers membership packages:

- 3-day trial membership - J4.99
- Monthly membership - J19.99
- 3 Month membership - J29.99 (J10 per month)
- 12 Month membership - J99.99 (J8 per month)

Prices are in UK currency which is more expensive than US dollars. It means that membership cost is like higher than standart $19.95 per month. We consider that even $10 is too much for this kind of services.

LoopyLove Review of Disadvantages
In our point of view LoopyLove has very long list of disadvantages. We’ll try to list main disadvantages we have found:
- Poor old-fashioned design
- Bad photos quality and photos are not pre-moderated
- No features on site
- High membership price for nothing
- Profiles are not informative
- A lot of “dead” profiles

LoopyLove Review Advantages
- Members can leave voice message
- Large UK singles database
- Fast registration

LoopyLove Review Summary
We were totally dissapointed with kind of services LoopyLove provides. They must improve their dating to have success. This site will work only for beginners in online dating who have some free money to spend. We would recommend this site only for UK based members because international profile database is very small.

Metrodate is not large and leading dating service but they do their job quite well. Metrodate customers coming from search engines mostly with certain goal to find dating partner. On their site they say: “Metrodate goal was to provide an easy-to-use, highly effective, low-cost service that will assist single adults in making compatible connections in their city. We truly believe our goal has been achieved”. After reviewing Metrodate dating service we must say this company is really responsible for their words and goal.

Profile Setup review
Full Metrodate profile setup takes about 15 minutes to complete. It includes fast registration when you enter your general information (email address, login ang postal code) and short 25-question test to describe your self better for others. It was great idea to make test for others to read and automaticaly new customer get detailed profile. You even can miss about me field and person who is browsing your profile will know you better with your answers to questions. If you don’t have time to complete Metrodate test you can just skipp it and complete it later. You can add up to 5 photos to your personal profile and choose upload method most preferable for you: using online form, send photos by e-mail and mail photos to mailing address.

Site Navigation Review
Metrodate site design is nice looking but we did not like that profiles opening in new window and you have to scroll it to view all information about person. Photos quality often are not perfect but 70% of personals ads at Metrodate has acceptable photo quality. Metrodate offer full-size photos on profile page - other services usualy cut photos but Metrodate did not. Some users like full-size photos so we can say anything bad about this Metrodate feature. At the top of the site you can see navigation bar with drop-down menus where could be found link to all site sections. Metrodate has chat and message boards but they are not popular among users. When browsing search results Metrodate shows only ads from your location - it’s quite useful to see interesting ads. In search results you see main profile information and we found this very useful too. Metrodate is full of site using tips and they really care about your profile improvement. Site navigation is very well thought-out and you would enjoy it as we did.

Relationship Types and Activities at
Usual dating service for single women and men seeking for their life partners. Metrodate allows to search for gays, lesbians and bisexuals but 98% of Metrodate have straight orientation so if you are looking for alternative relatioship try to use other services like Adult FriendFinder. We have to mentioned that we did not notice fake photos on site like we can see on other sites. It seems that most of MetroDate members are real and customer support doing their best to not allow scam artists occupy their service.

Free Members Zone review
Basic Metrodate membership allows to browse site and use chat rooms with no restrictions. As a free member of Metrodate you have enough things to do different from some other dating sites allowing only limited browsing. Here is full list of features you get as free member:
- Create your own member profile

- Upload a video message to your profile
- Receive and reply to private messages from other members
- Chat room with private messaging

Free members at Metrodate have all abilities to create interesting powerful profile with a lot of information provided. You can even meet someone in chat rooms or message boarde but sure paid members has more chances to find a date at Metrodate.com.

Metrodate.com - The Ultimate Singles Resource!

Paid Pembers Zone review
In addition to all of the basic membership benefits you can: - Send unlimited messages
- Unlimited flirting
- Get more exposure - premium personals are listed earlier in search results
- View video messages
- Your rates will never go up for as long as you renew

As at all dating services to use Metrodate in full you must to become a paid member. But the difference from other dating sites is price of Metrodate membership. It is lower than on other dating sites similar to Metrodate.

Membership Cost and Payment Procedure Review
Metro Date offering on of the lowest membership plans in dating industry. Look what are the payment plans:
Monthly Plan - Only $9.95/month
3 Month - $19.90 ($6.63/month)
1-year membership - $59.95 ($4.99/month)

Payments are accepting by MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover credit cards.
You can pay by check or money order, please print this page and mail along with your check or money order to the following MetroDate address. Please ask your bank to provide you with a check cashable in US funds.

Metrodate.com
2300 Computer Ave, Box J-52
Willow Grove, PA 19090-1742 USA

One month recurring biling is best option in our opinion. Site does not have a lot of features and it could be a bit boring to stay with them more than 2 month. So there is no reason to pay for 3 month. $9.95 per month is the lowest price and it is worth to Try Metrodate for this price because it’s very difficult to find normal-working dating service with such cheap membership. But you have to keep in mind that your membership will be auto-renewed each month and credit card will be billed also until you decide to cancel subcription. Also Metrodate don’t make refunds on orders as they state on payment page - it’s sounds little bit strange but for $9.95 per month it is acceptable.

Review Summary
If you have realistic expectations, some patience and are a bit adventurous, Metrodate.com will work for you. Don’t expect a lot of features and online fun on Metrodate but if you just want to dating and save money Metrodate could be your dating solution!.

DatingDirect.com is the UK’s largest dating service according to Nielsen Netratings research made in February 2005 with over 2 Million active members each having a detailed profile. Established over 6 years ago as a place for singles serious about finding a partner, DatingDirect.com does away with gimmicks such as free trials, nicknames and un-moderated chat rooms. All correspondence between members is carried out using DatingDirect.com’s anonymous messaging system ensuring the member’s personal details such as their real email address is always kept confidential.

Dating Direct Profile Setup Review
Profile setup at Dating Direct takes about 7-10 minutes. This involves completing 2 short forms which will be used to match you with other singles on Dating Direct database. First form is very easy and fast to fill you need to name your country and birth date. Second form is more time taking. Her you will need to complete the form with your characteristics and the type of person you are looking for. On this step you have to fill some text forms and write down down at leat 100 characters. Site is very seriuos and you have to write about your person in details because this is only one way how other singles can know about you on Dating Direct (there is no chat rooms, blogs or something else). You can add up to 5 photos using the upload tool. All photos are reviewed by Dating Direct and if accepted are on your profile within 72 hours of upload. One annoying point on DatingDirect is you cannot leave questions unanswered or the form refuses to submit.

Dating Direct Site Navigation
Site navigation is easy to understand without big disadvantages. Only search navigation could be improved as we think. At Dating Direct you can search by zip code and by region and standart search delivers well organized results. But if you want to customize your search you must set search setting then view new setting then go back to search menu and only then search for personal ads. But that’s not a big problem because you would not change your search 2-3 times per minute. But if you want to meet singles from different country areas it could case a problem because there is no save search option on Dating Direct.

Relationship Types and Activities at Dating Direct
Dating Direct is more standart type of dating service. There is less amount gay or lesbians but a lot of sexual normal oriented persons. If you are looking for man or woman within the UK Dating Direct is one of the best dating services.

Review Dating Direct Free Members Zone
Free member zone at DatingDirect.com is not large. As a free member you can search and view detailed profiles of Dating Direct members. Also you can save liked profiles to your photo gallery be able to find them easily later. Also as a free member you can read safety guidelines & dating Tips. Dating Direct offers free scanning service so if your photos have been developed professionally and are on photographic paper then you can get them scanned FREE of charge. You can add up to 2 photos using DatingDirect scanning service. Allowing for posting and scanning, photos are on your profile within 7 days of posting.

Review DatingDirect Paid Pembers Zone
DatingDirect paid members zone is not very large but only paid members can do any kind of contact with other singles. Look what DatingDirect offers to their paid customers:

- Send an unlimited number of messages to members!
- Read all messages sent from other members!
- View members’ additional photos!
- Find your ideal partner easier with “Premier search”!
- Get priority invites to our “offline” singles functions!
- UK Members can use incoming mail sms messaging service (additional payment needed).

Let’s take a deeper look to unique paid services like Premium Search and SMS messaging service.
Premium Search - Narrow down your search with “Premier Search”, select religions, smoking and drinking preferences, members with or without children etc. This would really help you to find perfect date on DatingDirect because free search is based only geo preferences.

SMS messaging service - SMS service will alert you when you have new messages from other members and when messages you have sent have been read. You will receive 5 FREE SMS alerts just for adding your mobile number and activating your SMS alerts. Once you have used your 5 free SMS alerts you will then be able to purchase more for as little 10p each depending on order sum (10 Messages for ?2.00 20p per message, 25 Messages for ?3.50 14p per message, and 50 Messages for ?5.00 - 10p per message). We don’t consider this service as a needed one because after sending 50 mails to singles you’ll get 45 read mail sms, and 10-15 incoming mail sms. And then you will go to your computer and read them. So is there any reason to pay for this service if you will read all incoming messages in the evening? This service could be useful for busy or inpatient persons.

Dating Direct Membership Cost
Here a price list from DatingDirect.com.
J$99.95 : for 12 Months (J$8.32 monthly)
J$69.95 : for 6 Months (J$11.65 monthly)
J$39.95 : for 3 Months (J$13.31 monthly)
J$19.95 : for 1 Month
J$9.95 : for 7 Days
J$4.95 Trial 3 Days
Payments are accepting by Check, Bankers Draft, and credit cards Visa/MasterCard/Delta/Switch/Solo.

The most effective plan to use is 3 month plan. Site is not for fun and so it should not take more than 3 month to find a date at Dating Direct. But it is better to pay $39.95 for 3 month than $39.90 for 2 month.

Tip how to save money! It’s very interesting that Dating Direct offers the same price by paying in USD or in pounds sterling. If you register you ad as a US member you will pay $19.95 for one month, and if are registered as UK member it will cost you J19.95 (or $33 equivalent). So if you will register your ad as US located and then change to your real location in UK you can save up to $70!

Absolute Agency is one of the largest russian and ukrainian dating provider on the web together with Bride.ru and AnastasiaWeb. AbsoluteAgency has 1.7 millions members (1.2 mln men + 0.5 mln women). Absolute Agency dating service is still living in XX century and it’s their biggest mistake. Looks like they know how to work and provide dating services for their customers but time is going on and nothing changes on the site. Although the same attitude to business is singular to most russian dating providers.

Absolute Agency Profile Setup review
Profile setup is quite fast and useful. To register personal ad at Absolute Agency you have to fill out short registration and to confirm it by clicking the link in the confirmation e-mail. It takes about 1-10 minutes to register personal ad depending on your willing and experience in writing about your self.

Absolute Agency Dating Service

Absolute Agency Navigation Review
Site navigation is ok but design and site structure is old fashioned. Such designs were done at the end of XX century but Absolute Agency still having it and according to user reviews it is not changing about 5 years. But we have to say that when browsing Absolute Agency site your eyes don’t tire so fast as on other dating sites with great colourful designs. White-grayish and accurate photos makes site browsing comfortable for users.

Search results are quite informative but you can’t save member profile for later view, can’t send winks if you’re male (women can) but photos represented in search results looks accurate and high-quality. One more disadvantage that you can’t turn over profiles. You have to back to search results to view next profile. Yes, they offer bookmark option but imagine what will happen to your favorites folder if you have there one hundred women profiles and your wife will find them

Also Absolute Agency dating service offer to visit:
# slide show - where you can view profiles in slide showmode;
# chat - where you can send 15 sentences if you a free male member (women use chat free);
# take funny tests - where you can test yourself and send test to friend
# read horoscopes
# play love game - where you’ll never find your love because there are no players

Try Absolute Agency NOW

The most annoying thing on Absolute Agency is pop-ups. If you don’t have pop up blocker installed you will tire to close them. And one more thing we did not like there. To upload a photo you must send it by e-mail! All normal dating services offers photo upload from your hard disk. One more sign that Absolute Agency still lives in last century.

Absolute Agency Review Summary
AbsoluteAgency.com is one of the russian dating monsters. But it is a dying monster. It still doing its work and you can find russian singles there but the level of service does not meet present-day requirements. Membership price is a bit overrated but you can simply try it for month to decide if it’s for you. But in our opinion this dating site could give positive result if you are russian woman and seeking men from US/Western Europe - you have great chance to find your man here! This guys knows how to sell their product!

Bride.ru is a largest russian personals provider on the Web. Bride.ru owns network of dating sites in Russia and collects russian women personal ad there.

All women profiles are moderated and manually checking by Bride.ru staff they call every woman to know is she real or not. But despite everything according to user testimonial on the web there is a lot fake profiles.

Bride.ru profile registration setup review
It is not neccessary to have personal ad on Bride.ru to contact ladies. Bride.ru sell ladies e-mail by sending them to your e-mail. But if you don’t have a time for browsing Bride.ru you could create own personal ad on Bride.ru. Profile registration takes about 5-10 minutes depending on your writing skills. Profile registration is old-fashioned and you must enter all personal information by typing it. There is no any drop down menus or check boxes. You can upload up to 5 photos.

Bride.Ru

Bride.ru dating site navigation review
Bride.ru dating site is old fashioned without any features like online chat rooms and personal mail box. All you need to do on Bride.ru is just to browse women personal ads. Bride.ru has gold and silver woman galleries which you can browse. It’s easy to browse and view personal ads but it’s not convenient to order woman e-mail. You should browse 3-4 pages before finding is that woman available for free and you should repeat the same actions to get next woman contact address. Bride.ru site navigation is not optimized for user comfort.

Relationship Types and Activities at
Bride.ru mostly oriented for men seeking russian brides. There is a search form but also you can browse woman by age using links in menu.

Bride.ru Free members zone review
Bride.ru offer free russian woman e-mail addresses. For this you should browse free addresses gallery on Bride.ru site. Also recently Bride.ru announced that silver gallery email are also free but to get them you should download Bride.ru informer tool and reffer your friends to Bride.ru using it.

Summary of AnastasiaWeb.com review
AnastasiaWeb is 100% best russian dating service. Reviewing AnastasiaWeb dating site we tried to find at least one seriuos disadvantage and did not find it. The cost of their services is bit expensive that average price in dating field but their service and results really cover your spendings! If you are interested in russian dating, want find russian woman, if you want to be safe when dating online - join AnastasiaWeb dating site - best dating service in Russian! It’s not advertising - it’s friendly advice.

UDate is affiliate site of Kiss.com dating site. According to information provided on site in average more than 5,000 people join udate every day making it one of the fastest growing romance matchmaking and dating site on the net. We really don’t think that is the fastest growing dating company in our day but sometimes you can meet thousands of people online at uDate, mostly because their brand. As all dating sites uDate has own pluses and minuses explained in this uDate review.

uDate Profile Setup Review
Profile setup is one of the fastest in dating industry. To start browsing personal ads you need to fill out short form on the main page and that’s all you need to start dating at uDate. However to improve your chances to find someone you have to complete personal ad but it takes only 15 minutes to complete. It’s is not boring because you just need to reply to questions and select right answer from drop-down menu. uDate recommends to complete your udate profile as completely and honestly as possible because your answers will significantly affect the number of members who will want to contact you. It’s true because matching system works on match basis. If woman likes what you like it will be listed as your match. As more matches you will have as more your partner match rating will be.

What we did not like in uDate profile setup. Text size - it’s small and there are too much questions on one page. You always must find right line to reply to the question not to second one. The same we can say about text in drop-down menus. Also uDate send an email with password generated by system not yourself. Sometimes it isn’t an easy to remember the password. You can add up to 3 photos and it less than on major dating sites but photos approving process is faster than on other dating sites.

Site Navigation Review
Site navigation is normal but with some visible disadvantages. At the top of uDate pages there is a header with all navigation links and easily access any of them in one click. Here are the sections of uDate:

My Udate - it’s your homepage. Here you start dating at uDate. You can check new members personal ads, view members who have appeared in your match list and edit your profile.
My Match - the list of your matches are showing here and it is easy to find them all in one place.
Encounters - Here you can find personal ads you have browsed recently and profiles who viewed your profile. Near the photo you will see what action have you done with selected person.
Who is online - Clear as 1,2,3, Member who are online at this moment.
Photo Gallery - Something new here can be found. It’s not usual members photo gallery - here you will latest added photos by users matching your criterias.
Search - Poorest search we have ever seen. Available to search by username only.
Favourites - Section where bookmarked profiles could be found.
Mailbox - Your mailbox will contain a copy of all recent correspondence exchanged between yourself and other udate members.
What we did not like in uDate site navigation - The biggest problem it’s no normal search at site! Yes you customize search by updating your matching criterias but all you need to do is just to rely on uDate matching system which is not perfect. Sometimes it works great some times is not.

Free Members Zone review
What can uDate free members do? The only things to do are to create full personal profile, to optimize your matching criterias and bookmark liked profiles. You even can’t send winks or whispers without paying. Paid Pembers Zone review
Paid members can use all features at WebDate like write messages, send whispers and probably that’s all you can do being paid. Old-fashioned standart package for dating services users. In our days there are much more features to offer for the same price but uDate doesn’t have them.

Membership Cost and Payment Procedure Review
If you still interested in uDate paid membership here is a price list:
- 6 month - $74.94 in one payment ($12.49 per month)
- 3 month - $49.95 in one payment ($16.65 per month)
- 1 month - $24.95 (recurring billing)

On payment page udate has renewal notice which states that they will be your card until you cancel uDate subscription. But they don’t what subscriptions are recurring. We honestly saying decided to not spend our budget for uDate and can’t say what subscriptions are recurring but most probable it’s one month subscription. We think that one month membership is most effective here because according to our estimations you would not be longer than 2 month here and you will decide to leave this service after one month.

Review of uDate Disadvantages
Our conclusions are based on uDate user testimonials, other quality uDate reviews and our experience. If you have your own testimonial feel free to post it using the form at the bottom of the page. Here are the points what users and we don’t like in uDate:
- Old fashioned paid membership package with no modern features on site
- No search form on site
- Only paid members can reply! It means that if you e-mail lady non-willing to pay you will never get a reply
- Poor support according to user reviews
- Some navigation links are not intuitive
- Women noticed in their reviews that uDate has a lot of married men posted as singles
- Subcription price is higher than offering services
- Password selected by uDate not by you and you can’t change it

Review of uDate Advantages
Our conclusions are based on uDate user testimonials, other quality uDate reviews and our experience. If you have your own testimonial feel free to post it using the form at the bottom of the page. Here are the points what users and we like in uDate: - Fast registration process

uDate Review Summary
uDate is old-fashioned dating service but it’s is popular among singles due its brand name and old relationship with Kiss.com. Site has big active members database but has lot of minuses which are explained in our uDate review. Quality of service could be better for the price they are asking for. If you like expensive strategy “as more dating sites I’m using as more chances I have” add uDate to your collection for $24.95 per month.

Plenty of Fish Site navigation review
Navigation at “Plenty of Fish” is a bit old-fashioned and not well thought-out . It looks like that site owners just adding menus and advertising links and don’t carry about how it looks like. Profile section is not very informative because but information is enough to make fist impression about selected person. Photos are medium-poor quality because site owners want to make their site faster. We need to say that site is fast enough but menu navigation is not easy-to-understand. Menu links are changing constantly and some of them are done in the same color as a background. Site mostly text based and it is a bit difficult to orient there without browsing experience, but after a few hours of browsing it becomes more understandable. One of the biggest upsets it’s hidden advertising like AdSense: some advertising links are masked under “menu links” and you could be forwarded to another web site. But we have to understand that advertising is only one source from what Plentyoffish getting their revenue and provide 100% free dating services.

Profile registration setup review at WebDate
Profile registration takes only 5-10 minutes and it’s very easy to fill it. You have only 2 text areas where you should write a bit about yourself and partner you are seeking for. Last step of profile registration is photos uploading to WebDate. It’s not required but here it’s very important to have photo in your profile. After registration you will receive password to your e-mail but please check your junk mail folder for this registration e-mail because all major mail providers consider e-mail from Webdate as a spam. Webdate has full instruction how to create filters in your mailbox to avoid this problem.

WebDate Site navigation review
Site navigation is average level. WebDate design is very simple and not attractive like other sites. Small photos quality is poor and they are not moderated. WebDate chat rooms don’t have smiles and other features you have used to see in chat room. It’s more messaging place than chat. WebCam quality and speed is very low. WebDate is free to use dating service and they sell advertising everywhere on their site. You’ll see advertising banners all over the site at the top, at the bottom and the left. Banners quality is not high and it corrupts webdate design more. Advertising is not offensive but after viewing banner for 36-th time you will click it. That’s how WebDate stay free service - we recommend to visit their advertisers to support WebDate.

Relationship Types and Activities at WebDate

WebDate Free members zone review
WebDate is completely free to use service. As a free member you can create/join chat rooms, send e-mails to other persons using personal mail box at WebDate, use videochat rooms as long as you want. In 2004 Webdate also had organized dating events but in 2005 it looks like they have stopped this activity. Probably later they will back to this.

Paid members zone review at WebDate
Webdate is free dating service but there are some paid options. One of them is WebDate Mobile service.

Summary of WebDate review
One of the most popular free dating services but its service quality leave much to be desired. If you are looking chatting place where you could dating someone and you’re not interested in different features offering by other dating service, and if you don’t want pay for dating - WebDate.com is yours site for online dating. But always remember that it is free and you should thank them just for ability to use their singles database for free. Don’t demand and wait anything special from this free dating service - just use it as much as you can to stop being single. We have seen a lot of user testimonials that they have found beautiful ladies and gentlemens on such dating sites like WebDate.com

AmericanSingles.com is one of the most popular dating web sites among US singles but it is more because of its brand name. If you live outside US you have very small chances to find singles near you. AmericanSingles has large database of singles, perfect design and easy to use interface but still have a lot of things to work if they want to become really good dating service.
