WHAT WE FOUND: WealthyMen.com is a dating service that helps to take off the board one of those inconvenient questions that everyone tries to find a way to ask, “How much money do you make/have?”, through their verification process. Becoming a member is actually quite easy, there isn’t a whole lot to the signup form beyond the basics and your membership page contains just two text areas, “About Me” and who you’d consider to be your “Ideal Match”. Overall it’ll take you about 5 minutes to become a free member. (Note: remember to reply or click on the link in your member confirmation email.) As a free member you can begin the financial and personal information verification. You need to be verified before you can send or reply to messages from other members. There are three membership accounts available. Free membership allows you to join and post your profile. Browse the other member profiles and once you have completed at least one identity verification step you can reply to messages sent to you from Gold members. The Silver membership allows you to read and reply to messages from other Silver and Gold members. Gold membership allows you to browse and profiles, send and reply messages to all members including contacting free members. In your member account home page you have a message center that keeps track of all your inbox and outbox messages and there is also a “Network Center” that keeps track of people you have added to your network and who is requesting you to be added into their network. This helps keep track of the people you’d like to exchange messages with as well as find the profiles of other members that have viewed your profile. The verification steps are the basis of WealthyMen.com in that you need to be have your identity, photo and income verified to be a participating member. Without at least having your photo verified (by faxing into WealthyMen.com a copy of your driver’s license) and/or your income verified by faxing in any type of completed tax form or bank statement. Because verification is required for members to be able to make contact and a paid membership is needed to make initial contact with other members, WealthyMen.com is a safe, fun service to join for men and women.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Verified identification and financial information of the members makes WealthyMen.com a standout of an online service. We like the basic tools provided that get you meeting the type of people you want to meet fast as well as the very easy to use member photo gallery uploading tool. 7 day full access membership available or become a Silver or Gold member to contact others. Straight and same sex members. Most members in America and Canada but there are members from all over the world as well.

WHAT WE FOUND: We like xlonely, the fast signup, the comprehensive profile questionnaire to successfully match you and the features that add a lot to the online dating scene including video messages and the ability to have messages and alerts sent to your mobile phone for free (check your mobile phone plan for possible charges before you add this feature to your profile). Free members can complete their profile, receive SMS messages to their phone, search and browse other members and send cards to let other members know you’re interested.

WHAT WE FOUND: The Yahoo Personals service is only for people that live in America or Canada (currently) although we do expect international versions to come out soon. To post an ad you’ll need to be a Yahoo member so you’ll be prompted to do that first before you join to post your profile. There are 7 steps to posting your profile but they don’t take very long to complete. Begin with the type of ad you want to post, or not post. What this means is that you can keep your profile private so it is not included in the general search results, but if you answer an ad that person can read it. Next give yourself a name for your ad. We recommend that you do not use your Yahoo username, but use something else for your ad. This will keep your privacy intact in that people won’t be able to easily guess your Yahoo email address. The next steps will allow you to post information about yourself, about the type of person you are looking for and the type of relationship you are interested in beginning as well as upload pictures and become a subscribing member. Posting your profile is free but to be able to send and reply to messages you must be a subscribed member. Once your profile is approved, this takes about 24 hours, you can also add a voice message and a video message to your profile. The search system is fast and easily customizable using zip codes, city names and “Importance Levels”, so you can narrow down your search and find the singles that you really want to meet. You can also “Be a matchmaker” and search for a match for a friend. The friend will then have to become a member, but it’s a start to not being single anymore. The “Mutual Match” system allows you to easily be matched with people that have the same likes and dislikes as you and will automatically alert you so you can send them a message (once you’re subscribed to send messages). And don’t forget about the Yahoo Instant Messenger chat program: once you have subscribed you can instantly chat with other subscribed members when they are showing as being online. With Yahoo being one of the largest web destinations, you should become a member to see all of the profiles of people that are in your area. You’ll be surprised there are so many singles so close to where you live.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: You’ll need to be a member of Yahoo to join and it’s free to post your profile. Add voice and video messages to your profile. Chat using Yahoo IM. Add up to 5 pictures with your profile. Become a subscribing member to send and reply to messages. Straight and same sex personals available.

WHAT WE FOUND: A great International Jewish introduction service that breaks down memberships by area of the world, so it’s easy for you to find someone near you that you’ll want to meet. Different Jewish denominations are represented here, so you’ll find someone that practices the same as you do and have safe fun meeting them. It’s free to place your personal ad but only members can make contact. The search system is very effective in allowing you to find Your Ideal Date. When you start searching you will find many defining factors to eliminate those that may be incompatible with you and once you have signed up you can send the person/people you’ve found a message that you are interested in them. It is then up to the person whether or not to contact you. This is a very safe system that allows only for mutual consent meetings to happen. A picture can be added to your profile if you want, as well as much information you feel comfortable posting about yourself. The better your profile is, the easier you’ll be found by someone searching by keyword. Your Ideal Date also includes The YID Online Shop for collectible Judaica gifts.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to place your personal, become a member to make contact. Contact is only made when both people agree to exchange messages.
