Features

Cupid.com is dedicated to helping its members find a date… and it shows. With its own internal messaging system and chat, members can participate in public chat rooms or send private messages to one another in a fun and intuitive way. The site also has its own instant messaging software, CupidChat, available for download. CupidChat allows members to communicate with each other at any time without having to log on to the main dating site.

Another unique feature of this site which we really loved is the My Dates tool- a calendar feature which allows a member to indicate which days they are available for potential dates. It helps members schedule dates and meet people of with similar plans and availability. Other fun tools include Winks and Ice Breakers, which can be sent to initiate conversations or show interest in others without writing a lengthy message.

Besides offering online personals, Cupid.com is also a lively online community with chat rooms, discussion boards, blogs, horoscopes, games, and dating news.

Safety

Cupid.com is concerned for its members’ privacy. The site takes all necessary precautions to keep members' personal information safe. Billing information is collected only when a member decides to purchase a subscription. Members should know that the site automatically shares information with third-party advertisers; members may opt out of this program if they do not wish to be contacted.

Sign Up

The signup process is quick and straightforward like that of other free dating websites. New members are prompted for a username, age, location, sex, and Looking For. After registration, members have the option to add more information to their profiles including hobby, personality, and lifestyle details, or they can skip that and go straight to the search. Cupid.com members can upload up to 20 photo to their profiles, as well as video and audio messages – features you don’t typically find on other dating websites.

Cupid.com offers both free and paid membership. Free members have limited communication features available, while paid members have full site access including chat and more. There are two paid membership plans: Gold and Platinum and both of these paid plans can be purchased on one-, three-, or six-month subscriptions. For both the Gold and Platinum member plans, the six-month subscription offers the best value, but if you’re not certain which plan is for you, consider signing up for their three-day trial for Gold or Platinum!

The Search

The Cupid.com basic search allows members to search singles according to sex, age, and location, while their advanced search includes more specific criteria listed on members' profiles, such as physical appearance and past relationships. Both the basic and advanced searches allow members to show only results with photos or videos, or only those currently online. Remember, profiles with photos attract more attention than those without.

Along with the search tool, Cupid.com provides several other features to help members connect with each other. Members can browse singles Online Now or New Members for dating possibilities.
