What will you find on
the world's largest online dating service?
First, you'll certainly find lots of profiles to
browse! With approximately
20 million members in the entire FriendFinder network, you'll
never have a shortage of new faces. FriendFinder
is a very active, international dating community.
You'll also find a bunch of extra features
not found on most competing services, including a personal
blog, ability to post video and audio introductions, interest
group communities, Meyer-Briggs type personality tests, and an
interactive magazine. The best part is most of these
features are included in the free basic membership.
FriendFinder is a huge network of community sites owned by Medley.

| The Good: |

search placement and highlighted listings for members (optional).

|
| The Flaws: |
Friendfinder has a huge
number of members (20 million across the entire Friendfinder network),
a more powerful search would be really helpful! If you are searching
in large or well-represented area the limited search
capabilities they give with the free membership are almost useless,
and even their "advanced" features for paid members aren't
the greatest. You need to be a paid subscriber to see full-sized
photos, free members are restricted to squinting at tiny thumbnails.

| The bottom line: |
Pretty standard dating site,, but a lot of member profiles to shop through! |
