Looking to meet your match? Welcome to Match, your number one site for love.
Match definitely caters to those looking for something real. Why else would they offer a promotion giving you your second six months for free if you don't find someone special after your first six? The website even claims, "members tend to be college-educated, professional and residents of a large city or its suburbs."
If you aren't a fan of Dr. Phil, you should head elsewhere. He's everywhere you look on Match, offering his words of wisedom. You might need one of his motivational speeches just to finish the process of creating your profile. There are many steps involved - you will need to get as specific as what kind of pets you own and how many siblings you have!
The software at Match is just amazing. Subscribing members can add over twenty pictures (up to 5mb each), while free members get five. And since the profiles are so comprehensive you can narrow your search quite a bit. You can also see which members have viewed your profile, which I found to be a cool feature.
The overall idea at Match is to make dating easy - to use your vitals and interests to match you up with someone you should click with. To some that might seem to take away the fun, but others will appreciate being saved from countless hours of frustration and heartache.
If you want an even more scientific approach, try Match's partner site Perfect Match.

If you subscribe, you can send and receive and unlimited number of emails. You can also see a list of people who have viewed your profile at any time. 10 day free trials are available.
For a slighly larger subscription fee you will also get exclusive Dr. Phil dating strategies.
