The "411" on Match.com (the Review) |
Find love. Guaranteed |
"It's one of the kings of the dating / relationship sites if not the king. They have a huge database of members and it's growing. Really. Just listen to their ads. They certainly do advertise a lot which help them gain members but that doesn't mean they are the best. They have a good search tool and are a much more "clean" site. In other words they are selling relationships not sex. You won't find porn links or pictures on this site. But you may just find someone who has a lot in common with you. If a relationship is what you are looking for then it's certainly worth a look. But you should not expect to meet anyone within the first month or even first two months. As with anything worthwhile in life it may take some time. However if it happens in a day then don't run away either." |
