One of the best known dating websites worldwide, renowned for its eye-catching banner advertisements, Match.com pioneered the Internet dating industry when they launched back in 1995. With over 15 million members in 37 countries it has truly earned its status as one of the leaders in the industry.

 

Users can choose from a wide variety of categories such as Christian Dating, Jewish Dating, Asian Dating, Senior Dating, Gay Dating etc. Searching is free and the results can then be narrowed down further by your postcode or zip code to find a match in your local area or even narrowed down by the age filter. The Keyword search is one of the key features that sets Match.com aside from other dating websites and is perhaps the most popular features of many that are available.

 

Fun personality tests and surveys are available that are referred to as 'self discovery' quizzes and a weekly e-magazine is available to all users.

 

Free membership entitles you to limited functionality within the site: searching, creating a profile, adding a photo and sending/receiving winks. However, a subscription is required to allow you to fully embrace the site's features: 1 month (24.90GBP), 3 months (49.85GBP) or 6 months (71.26GBP). Do note that you will be charged in USD although the sterling equivalent is displayed for your information and convenience.

 

Creating your profile may be somewhat cumbersome due to its comprehensiveness but it is, no doubt, one of the major factors that drives positive results and directly contributes to Match.com's renowned success rate. Definitely an overall winner!
