Why You Should JoinMatch.com is the largest online dating site in the world, and was originally established back in 1995. With so many frequent users on the site at any time, and thousands of new members joining daily, you have a bigger chance of finding your ideal match on such a huge online dating site.

You’re able to search within some very specific parameters to find people who most closely match what you’re searching for.

Match.com also offers a “Make Love Happen Guarantee”. If you don’t find the right relationship for you in the first six months of your paid membership, Match.com will extend your membership for the next six months free.
What is Free?Throughout the free trial period, you’re able to create a profile, customize it and add your own photos. You can immediately begin searching for potential matches using search options that closely match what you’re looking for. Free members are able to view profiles, so this can be a great way to get you started.

If you see a profile you like, you can send a wink to any single you want to know more about. Free members aren’t able to communicate with other singles or receive MSN alerts. You will need to join as a paid member to access these features.
What is Member’s Only?Standard Plan:
If you choose to join on the Standard Plan, you can create a profile, including adding photos of yourself. You can also search for potential matches by entering your preferred search parameters. This will show you only those people who are more suited to your own tastes.

Members can chat with other singles using the Instant Messenger system. There is also an on-site email system, which allows you to keep your email address private, but still communicate with others.

You can see at a glance who has been looking at your profile and the site will suggest “SingledOut” matches from people who have similar interests listed as yours. You can also receive emails over your cell phone and send replies while you’re away from your computer.

Best Value Plan:
Paid members who choose the Best Value Plan will receive all the same features as those on the Standard Plan, but will also receive a highlighted profile, First Impressions upgrade, and will be sent “Email Read” notifications to let you know when singles have read any emails you sent to them.

Optional Extra Features:

MatchTalk: MatchTalk lets you speak with other singles using your own phone, but your number will be kept confidential.

First Impressions: The First Impressions upgrade allows your profile to be shown to all new members before anyone else’s. This gives you a greater chance of being found than just a regular profile listing.
CommitmentIf you sign up at Match.com on a 7 day free trial, the minimum commitment period is 3 days. You will not be obliged to upgrade or keep your membership if the site doesn’t suit your needs.
GuaranteeMatch.com is the only online dating site to offer a guarantee of finding a match. They call this their “Make Love Happen Guarantee”. If you haven’t found that one special person to begin a meaningful relationship with in 6 months, Match.com will extend your membership for a further 6 months free.

Be sure to read the fine print, as there are some terms and conditions that apply to this guarantee.
Tips and ToolsThe search feature on Match.com is great for really narrowing down your preferences and parameters. You can search for singles based on age, location, height, hair color, beliefs, ethnicity, or any combination of plenty more options.

One very handy tool is the “Mutual Matches” search, which allows you to only view profiles of members who have listed the same preferences and attractions as you have.
FeaturesMatch.com doesn’t limit you to being online and sitting at your computer in order to search for matches. Their site design enables you to log in and search using apps available for most SmartPhones, including iPhone, Android, Blackberr, Palm Pilot or Palm Pixi. If you’re a paid member, the apps are free for you to use on your cell phone too.
