WHAT WE FOUND: OkCupid is a free service (really, no membership fees) that takes online dating, matching tests and technology, and social networking to the next dimension. We like the incredibly simple one page registration form that leads to your own customizable home page where you can add the features of OkCupid that are important to you. Build your profile by completing the public profile section and uploading your pictures. Make OkCupid match you by completing any or all of the available tests that match your answers with other member answers and compatible selections. Also available are match systems of different types such as the ‘Quick Match’, ‘Fuzzy Match’ and ‘Stranger Arranger’ that use different methods of matching you, which keeps you active meeting new people and are fun to keep you involved with the process. No more just answering a few questions and hoping for the best, OkCupid has many ways of adjusting the matching systems which brings attention to more people of compatibility, and you can constantly improve the matches offered through additional tests and searches. New questions, some submitted by other members, are available to tune up your profile offering a continual change and variable match type that brings compatibility to a new variable that works. You’ll have fun just answering a few questions after clicking on the ‘Improve Matches’ button. Other features include an active forum, Instant Messenger chat, your own journal page that allows you to network with other members and create a friends list and a ‘Hot List’ of matches you really like. OkCupid is fun, filled with interactivity and should be one of only a handful of services that you must join. And we like the pay no membership fees too. Great for people that like to be active on the sites they join, whether looking for love, searching for dates or just being part of something online to meet new friends.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free membership that includes sending and receiving messages, profile creation and adding pictures, instant messenger chat, blogging in your own journal and a constantly evolving matching system that works on several levels of compatibility features. Straight and same sex members.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to join and post a photo. Need to purchase or earn LovePoints in order to get higher search ranking and contact other members. Horrible layout, lots of ads intermingled within profiles and search results. Difficult to navigate through. Account home page is difficult to view and the entire site looks ineptly and cheaply done. No help or faq page.

WHAT WE FOUND: A service for the gay male and bi-couples looking for gay men, this could be for you. Sign up for the free trial and let your meetings start today. Not quite as wild as Alt.com but certainly caters to the needs of the members quite well.

WHAT WE FOUND: A great free service with a lot of features. You have to join to look around, so think up a user name, answer a few questions and you can even add your Pagoo, ICQ and Instant messenger numbers for others to contact you. I recommend ICQ and opening a new identity so that your OtherSingles friends are separate from your regular ICQ buddies. The sign-up should take only a couple of minutes and you can edit it later too. Now begin with a search, you have all types of characteristics to choose in your search and even those with ICQ, Instant messenger or Pagoo listed you can find fast. You could be meeting someone right now! You must have your own photo added to your profile to be able to view anyone else's photo, so I hope you have one ready. You have lots of options at OtherSingles. And there are lots of things to do here as well. Have fun, join today! Just be sure to join with an anonymous email, like the Dateme email available at aLoveLinksPlus!
