Overview

SinglesNet.com is a website that caters to single people and shows plenty of models on its cover page to get the party started. This service claims to have 1.8 million members in the United States, and is a U.S. only dating site. The dating site has been in business since 1998, making it one of the oldest Internet sites.

Features

SinglesNet.com has standard features like internal email services, chat, message boards, picture voting, photo uploads and viewing, and the ability to “feature” yourself as a member. Two of the company's best features include the “no credit card” needed promise as well as the proprietary matching system. The matching system is state-of-the-art and matches users up according to their preferences, tastes, lifestyle and interests. Some users may find the matching system more enjoyable than searching for users blindly based only on tag lines and photos.

Chances of Finding a Date

SinglesNet.com has been criticized by users for its low poor quality profiles and high man to woman ratio. Nevertheless, it does have the distinction of being an easy to use site (once you get passed the questionnaire) and does a good job of matching up people locally. It has a high number of members when compared to some other adult dating sites.

Safety

The service has protection processes, nor any special software to protect members. It does publish a list of Internet dating tips.

Value for Money

The site offers a free trial and gives users some freedom to contact members, send virtual winks, and also sends you profiles of matched singles. However, communicating with other members requires a paid subscription. No credit card is needed, but full membership costs $24.95 a month. The company also offers a 30-day money back guarantee, meaning you can cancel the service and get back your full investment. This is a major advantage compared to other dating services, which only give you an additional three months of service if you haven't “been laid.”

Ease of Use

The site is downright invasive when it comes to new users filling out a long and detailed questionnaire. In fact, you can't even browse the site or read the member benefits until you fill out the questionnaire. The forced questionnaire, which occasionally goes through (though sometimes it doesn't and you have to redo from the beginning) is the site's most grating feature.

The Search

Search options include customs searches by age, location, mutual interests, hobbies, work, schooling and lifestyle. The compatibility feature is the better option, since search fields are limited. SinglesNet.com is one of the most populated and oldest sites on the Internet, which bodes well for finding a local date.
