Web Date Info

AmericanSingles.com has been a little quiet lately so I wanted to check it out and see what they have to offer the online dating community. As their title would suggest, they are pretty much just an American dating website. They have personal ads from other countries, but not of any real signifigance. AmericanSingles has done some TV advertisements but I haven’t seen any too recently. They are not advertised as a 100% free dating site. They do however allow you to make a free profile. So I made one.

From their homepage, you just select “make a free profile” and follow the easy steps. You choose your own username and password which I like much better than being given one from the dating site. The first page in the signup process goes a little bit deeper in their questioning than other sites such as JustSayHi , or HookUp . They ask you your first and last name, which I’m sure doesn’t have to be correct. You enter your personal description at this point. Usually you don’t fill that in until you get a little further, but it really doesn’t matter.

After the first page of your personal ad, you are asked to complete your profile further, all though you do not have to. American Singles displayed over 10,000 other members online at this point, which is at about 5 pm on a Saturday. That’s a pretty large number. There are about 4 pages of information to fully complete your profile. The pages are,

• Personal Info
• Basic
• More About You
• Interests
• Photos

One cool feature of this site is that they find matches for you and make it very easy to accept or reject their suggestions. When browsing other members personal ads, you can select, Yes, No, or Maybe. Once you have decided that you would like to contact a member you have several choices as well. One option that is unigque to AmericanSingles is sending an “e-card.” You can send cheesy pickup lines, birthday cards, friendship or flirting cards. I personally like that feature. You can also add them to your “hotlist.” That’s as far as it goes for a free member. You CANNOT send messages to other users without becoming a premium member. Here is a little bit of info on their 3 premium membership options. Read more »

HornyMatches.com comes up right away when you search sex personals or adult dating. This is a very large adult dating website. Let me emphasize that it’s strictly for adults. After seeing how well they ranked on search engines I decided to make a profile to see how the site is. As a male, you are able to to make a free profile with limited access to all features. The majority of the users here are from the United States. After you complete your profile you need to verify your email address and get your login information. After that your ad should be activated and ready for your final touches.

Once my ad was complete and I was in the dating area, I noticed that there were over 150,000 members online! That’s a ton of people. If that is true, this site is much larger than I anticipated. You can take personality surveys, post pictures, write about your ideal person, get an astrological sign review, and more. There is a compatability score you can compare to others to see how you match up. It seems like HornyMatches is doing a bit more than adult dating. They offer match making features similar to some of the larger, cleaner, dating sites. Here are some of the specific features as a free member.

• send a wink
• post pictures
• refer a friend
• add members to hot list
• invite people to your network
• block emails
• cupid match system

The main feature that is completely necessary on a dating website is sending emails. As a free member you are not allowed. You’ll have signup for one of their paying membership plans to get the most out of the site. Their paying dating membership options are as follows. Read more »

PlayNaughty.com has seen some great results in the UK and expanded their adult dating site to the US. I created a US dating profile on PlayNaughty to check it out. There aren’t as many members in the US but the site definitley has potential. Here is part of their welcome email……

“After a highly successful UK launch I thought it would be fun to open the site up to the USA and let you see what makes the site so hot in the UK.

For now, you will find that it’s 100% free to chat and mail other US members. If you want to chat to people around the world, you may need to pay but membership starts at just $6 for a day pass and you can join for life for just $75. These are introductory rates for the US only. ”

Play Naughty’s traffic statistics (number of visitors) are not too great overall. When you break it down by country the site looks much more attractive depending upon where you live. Here is the breakdown:

• Global: 94,244
• United Kingdom: 4,029
• United States: 125,726

Hopefully their new US push will grow their presence here and they can start to compete.
