Lavalife.com is a combination online dating with a more promiscuous attitude. This is the perfect site for people who are interested in “hooking up”. I’m sure I’m like most of the guys, I posted a picture and profile in the dating and relationship sections, but kept checking out the women in the Intimate Encounters. What can I say

Lavalife.com offers the user the choice of three similar but unique communities of Dating, Relationships and Intimate Encounters. In fact one can post individual profiles for each or all communities varying or hiding information based upon the willingness to share in that community. The site offers a pictorial studio with degrees of visibility and safety as to who can see what and when. They also offer as part of the personal profile a hot list which allows the subscriber to save the names of their favorite potential matches.

The most interesting aspect of the Lavalife site is that it does not charge a subscriber fee per month, but acts as a transactional pay as you go model where you make a deposit and use that amount depending upon how many people you contact. Think of this site as a combination Friendfinder and Adult Freindfinder all rolled into one!

It was interesting to see the number of women who, while in chat, asked me if I had a problem in the IE room. I got the feeling the community of women on Lavalife we’re not as uptight as some of the women on other sites.

This site is all about flirting. Whispers are Instant messages, Smiles are like icebreakers or winks and they even have video chat enabled.

Lycos Matchmaker is similar to Yahoo in that the site is part of the Lycos portal and convenient to subscribers of that portal! When one enters the portal they see the matchmaking access, Tripod blogs, Wired news and access to monster.com as well as other Lycos services.

Over eight million users worldwide. Registration is free initially, and a considerable time commitment. There are 23 essays to be answered, ranging from serious (goals and aspirations) to frivolous (what superhuman power you’d chose.) Narrow your choices by such options as location, age, ethnicity, or lifestyle–from Mormons to military folk to “swingers.”

Instant messaging available; $24.95 per month to subscribe. The potential to record a voice greeting adds a personal touch. Exhaustive profiles let you sort through the less desirables before you start chatting. Recently nominated by Forbes as one of the top on-line dating sites however the site layout is rather confusing.

This is a pretty clean little site. You can add people to your “Hot List” and search several ways. They have a 1 click feature that gives you a list of people the site feels best matches your needs, but you can also use an advance search to really narrow it down.
