TheDate HornyMatches

Horny Matches its an adult dating and personals site, algo have online dating and swingers online seems to be a very popular site. It certainly gets a tremendous adult dating traffic, so I suppose I can’t try to debate the veracity of those stats. However, when I signed up to HornyMatches, I was still surprised to see that there were at well over 100,000 online dating members at that exact time.

Before, you begin posting your personal profile it tells you two things straightaway. Firstly, which definitely counts in its favor, all hornymatches member descriptions are manually verified by human hand somewhere. Secondly, it makes neither any guarantee regarding your dating success, nor even the authenticity of its member profiles. The second part sounds a lot as if they’re covering their asses even if they’re honest and direct about it.

“One thing that I found unclear is what benefits there are to signing up to the highest level of a dating site membership…”

If I sound paranoid, it’s just that despite its apparent popularity, HornyMatches is an extremely simple site. The only method of contact, which is limited to paying members, is email. Free members can send a wink to a gold or silver subscriber and hope that he or she will reply with direct, offsite contact info but there are no chat rooms or instant messaging for anyone, regardless of membership status.

You also need to pay to display your hot list. Nevertheless, what does come freely, at least in the beginning, are extensive search and browsing options. These are supposedly restricted at some point but I did several so I’m not sure what the limit is. There is no separate page for a basic search and no grayed out premium search sections so as I explain later on in my conclusion, it is unclear of what happens if you don’t upgrade.

A local search can only be narrowed down to 30 miles. However, last login details and complete profile information are searchable by both a series of checkboxes and a keyword feature. You also have an online matchmaking option called cupid that has similarly detailed options to make your results more accurate. There is an email version as well that returns varying numbers of matches depending on whether you’re a basic, silver or gold-level member.

One thing that I found unclear is what benefits there are to signing up to the highest level of membership, other than appearing first in returned search results. When I read the access grid for the various features of the site, many of the premium options, such as detailed searches, work for me for free. Maybe, as is marked beside viewing profiles, the feature comes with restrictions. No maximum limits are listed, though, so when the premium services will stop working without paying is unclear.

Horny Matches seems expensive with its limited contact options but it does seem to have an unbelievably active membership base.

HighJoy.com is set up similar to many of the dating sites on the Internet yet it certainly offers something that most don’t. HighJoy is about virtual sex, first and foremost. The site as been designed to work with special dildoes and vibrators that can be controlled by another person over the Internet. This means that you can share your pleasure with a loved one over the miles or even experience it with a perfect stranger. If you think you can jump on to High Joy and perhaps find someone to date, you might be disappointed. The site just doesn’t have the huge membership numbers you will see on other dating sites. However, if you’re looking for “good vibrations,” you might just receive all that you seek. Here’s how it stacked up against our criteria!

When it comes to profile quality, High Joy just doesn’t make the grade. Most the members are without photos and there are even fewer who are “High Joy Enabled” – meaning they don’t even have the special equipment to take part in the featured activity of mutual masturbation. It’s not that they don’t allow you space and ask questions to illicit more answers to round out the depth of your profile. It’s just that many have chosen not to and therefore the marks for this category suffer.

“Even just for the sake of interest, this site is definitely worth a look.”

HighJoy receives full marks for presentation with its purple interface. It’s clean and pleasant and is certainly one of the sites strong points. Search options also score well by allowing proximity searches within the United States. Outside of the country, you’re on your own.

Another area that scores well is quick contact. The focus on “mutual masturbation” really calls for options in this area and High Joy doesn’t disappoint. As a member you can access instant chat, message forums and video messaging. These options, coupled with the use of a sanctioned sex toy, ensure that you will get the most out of instant communications on the site.

The level of free access on the site granted to non-members is acceptable. You can join, check out profiles and even chat in the forum without paying for a membership. If you want to do any instant messaging or engage in the center attraction for the site – the virtual sex – you are required to pay. However, once you join the site, you gain access to all the features free of charge for a limited time so free access for members quickly becomes less of an issue.

High Joy takes a beating on member stats, in large because the focus of the site is so niche. Sure, there are a lot of people looking for online sex, but this site specializes in a particular form of sex. You need to have specialized sex products to get the most from this site and this might be part of the contributing factors leading to a less-robust member list.

You can’t give this site less than full marks when it comes to rating the extra features. It has a number of elements that you might find on other more traditional dating sites such as live chat, message forums, and audio and video enabled messaging. But HighJoy has been built on a specialized product that no other site seems to be offering. If you purchase one of the Doc Johnson High Joy enabled vibrators, you can have someone you know, or a perfect stranger for that matter, control it over the Internet through HighJoy.com. Or you can adjust the speed and rotation, depending on the device, right from your computer desktop for someone else — as long as they have a compatible device attached to their computer. Extra features certainly takes on new meaning at High Joy.

HighJoy.com is free to join and to access all the features for a limited time. If you’re interested, you can purchase one of the vibrators directly from their online store and get right into the action without spending another dime. Even just for the sake of interest, this site is definitely worth a look.

It has been a long time since our first review of Amateur Match. Out of all of the dating sites listed here on Cupids Reviews, this one is one of the most active as far as users comments go. Is there any truth to what’s being said? Is Amateur Match a scam or a paradise for digital hedonists? This review explores the pros and cons of this controversial sex dating site.

I’m not a huge fan of the layout of AmateurMatch.com, but it is professional and easy to navigate. There are a lot of third-party ads for webcam shows and porn sites, but that’s to be expected when the dating site is run by a company that does so much business in adult entertainment.

“…if your goal is to make sincere, intimate encounters, you’ll probably find this site lacks…”

With the stage set, I moved to check out who was online in my area. I clicked the search button and was faced with the usual questions. I answered that I was a man who was looking for a woman. I left the many different kinds of intimate encounters you can specify blank, meaning that I’m open to any and everything. I entered the age range I was looking for but then I ran into my fist major issue with the site. It only allows you to search by country. If you are on a sex dating site, you are usually looking to find someone who is within driving distance—not someone on the other side of the country! Why would a sex dating site not give you the ability to narrow your searches? I immediately suspect that the reason is that there just aren’t enough members and making you search by country helps to fill up the search results. This isn’t a good foot to start on.

I run the search and get a full range of thumbnail pictures with short descriptions. Most are wearing skimpy clothing while others are bearing it all. It’s an interesting mix so I find one that interests me and click into the profile. The profiles do give you a number of options to really fill out what you’re looking for when it comes to sex. There are a bunch of questions and answers that I’m not too embarrassed to say made me blush. You’ll get all of these questions when you first sign up so be prepared to give your needs a thorough going-over. When I’m done checking out what this person has written, I move to check out the picture on this profile, but I can’t see it. There looks to be a problem with the image. (I also find this on a number of other profiles that I check later on) On the next profile I visit, you can see the photo but it’s a bit blurry so I click on the “more photos” option. That’s when I get the next big disappointment. You can only see extra photos when you’ve paid for a membership. This ensures AmateurMatch only scores five points for profile viewing.

Amateur Match comes with a lot of features you would expect from a porn… I mean “sex dating” site. For example, there’s a live cam section where you can see girls get naked at different showtimes. These are girls you can see but not touch! There’s also a galleries section where users can post pics. If you’ve ever been a member at an adult site, you know what kind of galleries we’re talking about. There’s also a chat room staffed with pretty girls who are willing to go into private chat and cam with you. Again, this is where you can look but not touch and I suspect runs you extra, too. There’s a videos section full of amateur porn videos and a games section with such titles as Jizz Ball and Cockgobbler. Okay, the secret is out. Amateur Match is more of a porn site than it is a dating site.

Overall, if you’re looking for some sexual entertainment, then AmateurMatch.com may not be a bad bet. However, if your goal is to make sincere, intimate encounters, you’ll probably find this site lacks what a more mainstream dating site may be able to deliver. It is a very popular site by our ratings standards but that could simply be because there are a huge number of male subscribers. If there are a small number of women on here that actually are looking for sex, as opposed to the ones looking to take money from you, the everymen among us will probably come away feeling a bit shortchanged.

If the dating world is all-Greek to you, literally Greek to you, then here’s an opportunity to meet other single Greeks online. You don’t have to be Greek to join, but GreekSinglesConnection.com remains one specialized singles site that seems to attract mainly Greek members. What a great opportunity to make connections with a nice Greek man or woman. It certainly can’t hurt to try it and the online personals route lets you avoid those awkward blind date setups by family and friends. It’s better to be the master of your own destiny than leaving it up to your Aunt Aphrodite. Goddess of love she’s not.

Start by filling out a profile. Although, I have been at times critical of sites for not making enough fields mandatory, I found on Greek Singles Connection that enough people were conscientious about filling out their details. Although, you still run into the occasional Curious George who randomly typed in a bunch of meaningless characters. However you choose to present yourself, you can always go back, add more details, and even express your true colors by taking a personality test that will color-code your account based on your type of character.

“I always say you need to be able to try any of these specialized sites out before you commit”

Fill out the information in the site’s matchmaking system and when completed, assign a percentage value of importance to each individual factor in comparison to all the rest. For example, you might think you’d like to meet someone with blue eyes, but that might be only two percent of what you need in someone ideal, compared to him or her wanting a large family, which might rank as 25 percent of the ideal package. Once your answers are in place the system will email you resulting profiles that have a high-level of compatibility with the criteria you’ve selected.

I always say you need to be able to try any of these specialized sites out before you commit, as is the case with GreekSinglesConnection. Visitor numbers are lower than other mainstream sites. You can browse through all the member descriptions, send free flirty smiles or ecards showing interest in someone. You’ll be able to read all the message boards, which definitely give a taste of whether this virtual community is for you.

If you see that it’s right for you and take the plunge, when you sign up to the premium membership you can chat live, send and receive e-mail, participate actively on the message boards as well as use instant messaging. Greek Singles Connection has perhaps seen a decrease in site traffic since both parties need to be paying members in order to communicate. At any rate, the monthly fee has remained quite competitive.

MyCountryMatch.com is a niche online dating site. From the first time I looked at the home page, I realized, this is totally different from any site I had visited. What caught my attention first was “Nice people, fewer games”, then I read “This site is dedicated to down-to-earth singles with country values”. Clearly, the site was making a statement, that statement being “Players need not apply.”

After getting hit on by my share of married men on AmericanSingles.com, I was ready for a change. Would MyCountryMatch.com be any different? Lets find out.

I decided to click on their “Be our Guest” link and I was even more surprised to see I had to answer a few questions before I could even gain access to the site. “Why are they making it so hard to join” was my first thought. The first question, “Are You Married?” You’ve got to be joking, an online dating site that qualifies its members? I answered “No” then was asked to take a pledge to be truthful.

These qualifying questions remind me of “Gated Communities” which have become very popular here in southern California. MyCountryMatch.com actually sets a unique code of ethics for their dating site. It is clear, they’re catering to a different type of person.

As I filled out the standard profile questions, I was pleasantly surprised that they asked me to define the word “Gentleman”. I hadn’t been asked that question in years and I knew right away, men reading my profile are going to be in for some real insight if they happen accross my personal ad.

MyCountryMatch.com uses different software than I have experienced on any other site. They actually break the profiles essay questions into sections and each section is assigned a “Trust Level”. As you meet people online, you decide if you want to grant them additional trust: from none, to Basic, Mid-Level or High. The more trust, the more information they get to read.

What I found exceptionally cool is you can assign all of your photos to a Trust level, so men have to actually read a little before they get their feeding of visual stimulation. Yes baby, I want you to fall in love with my mind first, body second! MyCountryMatch.com allowed me to really crank up the volume on my essay answers, only the bravest men need reply. I really like this feature and wish more dating sites allowed you to decide who gets to view your picture.

MyCountryMatch.com gives you the chance to join for free, browse profiles and even flirt with members on the site by sending “canned” glances. If you find someone you want to actually exchange email or chat with - you need to join. As a girl, I actually prefer this versus some of the free systems I’ve tried, I tend to get a lot of crude messages from guys looking to score - since they didn’t have to take out their wallet. Free usually brings out the immature child I have found. MyCountryMatch.com was more serious - real people, looking for real connections.

As I read through Men’s profiles on MyCountryMatch.com I got to not only read about them and what they’re looking for - I also got to read each of their definitions on the word “Romance”. Yes, of all the questions to ask a guy - this one hits to the heart of the matter. I can tell you, I passed on some pretty nice looking photos because of some pretty lame written responses to that one.

MyCountryMatch.com has this really cool “Introduce Me” feature. Basically, as you’re viewing profiles if you find someone attractive you can select “YES” I’m interested. If the other person shows interest in you as well, you receive an email stating you matched. Very cool.

MyCountryMatch.com is well designed, easy to navigate. However, putting the technology aside for a minute, I want to talk about some of the guys I met.

MyCountryMatch.com has some of the nicest guys I have ever met online. I didn’t have any guys asking me if I put out on the first date. I didn’t have one guy tell me he was married or fail to volunteer where he worked or his home phone (which is always a tell tale sign they’re hiding something). Yes ladies, I ask and no, I won’t give them my home number or office information. I have to worry about security and the rules are different - any guy who doesn’t get that, doesn’t have a chance at a first date with me. I didn’t have any of the guys on MyCountryMatch.com even blink at my screening questions and most of them hadn’t even seen my photo yet. I hid it until we exchange 3 emails (using the built-in email system) or online chat. The men on MyCountryMatch.com are different and I think it is because of the screening process they use.

The site does have a country feel. They have a whole section dedicated to a “Country” theme. What type of country music you like, type of country dancing (I can two-step!), etc…

I did see a bit of a trend among some of the men I exchanged email messages with. All of them like NASCAR and all liked animals (dogs over cats).

Now - what I didn’t like about the site. First, they need to tell more people about the site. They simply didn’t have a lot of guys in my area. The site is new, but still I just wish more guys knew about it. Their chat system is a little on the slow side, it could have been my cable modem, but it seemed slow. Finally, a lot of their profiles are not filled out. I think they should require people to fill out more of their profile before they can join the site. I was turned off by the number of men who didn’t take the time to fill out their profiles.

Finally, I should disclose, I do know the owners of MyCountryMatch.com. I think if you try the site, you’ll agree with everything in this review. If you don’t, I know you’ll write and let me know.
