With over
15 million members, Match.com is one of the largest and most
popular online dating services!
With that many members, you'd think finding "the one" would
be tough. And it is ... unless you take advantage of their amazing
search feature! We were blown away by the number of search
options to be found on Match.com! In addition to the usual location,
age and keyword searches, Match makes it easy for you search for
more specific things such as pets, astrological sign, hairstyle,
body art, turn-on's and turn-offs, sense of humor (goofy? clever?),
diet (vegan or meat-and-potatos?), exercise habits, and politics.
Finding that liberal, Pisces cat lover with a shaved head, a
naval piercing, a PHD and a dry sense of humor is as
easy as checking a few boxes!
New for 2007: Find
someone special in 6 months or get 6 months FREE!
Match.com's network includes Match Mobile (for mobile phones)
and Match International (multi-national, multi-lingual sites).

| The Good: |
Match mobile is a nice feature. Match.com
has a
huge database of members, coupled with the most powerful
search feature of any site we've tested. The new audiovisual
Dr. Phil material is a valuable tool for the relationship-minded - something that was previously missing from this service. |

you have unlimited time on your hands, be sure to use the
search tools provided - searches like "female between ages
25 and 30 living in NY " will return a mind-boggling number of
profiles!

| The bottom line: |
A
photo personals / dating site with a huge selection of profiles
and the tools to find exactly what you are looking for. If freedom
of choice is what you like, you'll find plenty to choose from
here! The new audio-visual relationship building tools (developed
with Dr. Phil McGraw) look very promising. |
