Upload up to 25 photos of yourself
Here Match.com is rather generous compared to competitive Asian online dating services where you can only upload one or two pictures of yourself.
Tip: To further increase your chances of dating your desired partners, you can try to upload recent photos that reflect your current interests. You can also add photos of your pets, travels, hobbies and your friends to help others know more about you thus increasing their affinity with you.

What really sucks
|
No video introduction profile of members
Match.com really missed the boat this time. There are many competitive online Asian dating services offering Free members to view video profiles of other members, yet Match.com has not done so.
Match.com charges you to view another match.com member's video profile even if you are subscribed to match.com service.
Video profiles are interesting to watch as you can hear and see members that you are interested in a more intimate manner.

What type of Relationships?
|
Match.com is suitable for you if you are searching for pen pals,
friendship, romance dating but not marriage!

Signing Up
|
Although signing up is a bit lengthy, you just have bear it to explore the site as soon as possible. So the solution is to answer quickly as you can save and amend your profile later on.
Match.com has three optional profiles: the basic, physical attraction and personality profile, all of which are free. The physical attraction and personality profile took almost an hour to complete. Although some may find the profile setup a bit lengthy, the questions were thought provoking and worth your effort and time (ie it will help you to score highly in the chemistry test. So take your time and speak the truth about your profile.
There is one segment called "Love it or Leave it" where you are asked questions about your date. Some of the interesting ones include Skinny dipping, Body piercings.

Search Functions
|
Match.com various search functions:
-
Matchwords?
MatchWords? help you quickly find someone who shares your common interests. Think of them as "keywords" that describe who you are and what you're like.
Search through millions of profiles by typing in a MatchWords?. You can search for one or more MatchWords? by simply adding spaces between each word.
Here's one useful secret:
Find out the Top Ten MatchWords? for both men and women in Match.com
Here's a tip, though. When typing in more than one word, use quotes. For example, when I searched "yogar" (and didn't use quotes), it returned results about yoga and yoga mediation. But when you use quotes around your search term then it searches for that specific match. Match.com takes this feature further by allowing you to designate and age range, location range, and whether to only return results with photos. This is a perfect way to find people near you who share a major passion. For example, let's say you love salsa dancing. Type in "salsa dancing" as your keyword, set your other parameters and soon you'll be presented with profiles of people near you who have specifically mentioned salsa dancing.
-
Custom
It is pretty easy to search for your desired partner in a particular country. There are the standard search criteria where you can select age, location and right down to how many kilometers radius within your desired country.
Also there is only neat thing about Customised search, you can keep customizing or specify the radius of your search in your intended city and country.

Lisa and Darren |
I work in the medical profession with female colleagues and my job means that I move around from town to town, these two factors combined created a difficult environment to meet people. Darren is a shift worker and has a great group of friends but discover that that finding suitable women are limited living in a small town. For Darren it was his first time internet dating; I was his first choice and first date and now we are getting married! Darren emailed me first and we continued to email for a while before finally arranging to meet. After one date it was like we had known each other for years. I truly believe internet dating is the single best method to bring people of any age together either for companionship or a life long commitment. As long as you are honest with what you write about yourself and who you want to meet you will find a match. Darren and I would NEVER have met even if fate was trying its best to bring us together....sometimes fate needs a little helping hand called match.com! |
