The best type of online matchmaking site – is a 100 percent free one; and that’s what this is.  Datehookup.com is a completely free dating site to use and has no restrictions against any of its members. So, it has a little bit of “personality.” It needs to have a splendid visual appearance as well though, for it to be really successful.

The verdict came quickly though, and I was immediately impressed by the site’s sleek design and nice friendly layout and colors. All of the information on the front page is neatly placed about, and easy to navigate through and find what you need. The gist of everything is provided for you, and you can easily get an idea of what to expect if you were to sign up. The other nice thing it shows you, is just how many members are on at one time. This is a small, yet significant detail. Most people don’t pay notice to it the first time, but they should. The amount of singles online at once means a lot, when it’s in the thousands; and on www.datehookup.com it is. Just looking on there for the first time, there are 5,527 female singles, and 6,502 male singles online. You have to expect that not everyone who is apart of the site is on at one time, so this is only a partial sum of the actual entire population of the website. Just from these numbers, it is most likely very large. The ratio between the two genders is actually pretty close, with males at about 60% and females 40%. This is only an estimated number though, from the current singles online. It could reflect on the whole population, which in that case, both genders have an even chance of finding their perfect match.

I was surprised at how much the dating site presented itself as a forum on the front page. It really had the appearance and layout that you would expect to see on many types of forums. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s just a little odd to look at until you grow accustomed to it. Well, the only way you’ll be able to get used to, is by being a part of the site for some time to come, which is something that you have to decide for yourself.

The one thing I do like, is that plenty of fish lists all the rules immediately, so you know just what is tolerable and what isn’t. They state right on the front page that they don’t prevent nonpaying members from contacting paying members. This is an amazing feature, as it’s true that almost every dating site does this. It’s definitely a special feature that makes this dating site different and special from any other one out there. You won’t find many that let you contact every member of the site without a catch. The site is extremely against scams, so you know you’re in good hands when you’re joining plentyoffish.com. You’ll be communicating with legit singles, and most likely getting the results you desire. There’s a few preview profiles on the front page as well, to show you how things are basically setup. It is always excellent to get a look into a website before even signing up, it helps build a better relationship with the user.

POF Login Page

There’s a whole bunch of different pages to go through during the sign up process. The first page is a quick, 30 second input, and the rest plays out like a survey. It does help you get more matches, and overall increases the effectiveness of the site, but it’d be nice if they let you fill in the information later for once. When you’re all finished, you get a results page, which lists what the site thinks what kind of person you are. It’s..an interesting feature I haven’t seen before. Plenty of fish has many nice things to offer, like testimonials to prove its worthiness, and a special ‘points system’ that allows you to purchase virtual gifts for other members. There’s plenty of things available for a member, like messaging, mail, browsing, and photos. The only thing that could be improved on is the layout and style. For some people, they may actually prefer it above a regular website. Interestingly, I couldn’t seem to find any links for upgrading your profile, which is a little odd.

Most importantly though, Plenty of Fish is for anyone looking for a mate. There’s tons of members on here, and lots of potential people to meet. No matter what gender, or ethnicity you are, there’s most likely someone on here that will take a liking to you.

• Worlds’ greatest member database
• Forums
• 100% Free

• Old fashioned layout/design
• Poor customer support

Here is another completely free datingsite for your enjoyment.  It has everything you need to get yourself a date in less time than you would think; and not just any date, but someone who actually will appeal to you.

That is, if you use the dating site correctly. The online dating site is designed specifically so you can hook up with someone you know you’ll enjoy spending time with, and possibly marrying in the future. It’s for anyone who is at least 18 years old and is looking for another single to match with themselves. Everyone should know the basics by now though; the real reason to check out a website is for its layout and content. In the case of matchdoctor.com, you will notice that they do not focus very much on being an attractive site. The layout is done rather poorly, with lots of scattered information. There isn’t much that tells you exactly what to expect, but there are lots of menus and such – which just leads someone to assume what the site is going to offer.

MatchDoctor.com SignUp Page

When you actually sign up and take a closer look into the site, there is actually tons of content available. Everything that is present in the menu is: dating quizzes and tests; blogs; forums; dating videos; chat; and browsing. There is a lot of stuff there, and a lot of it is rarely seen by most free matchmaking websites. Most of the videos are just music and such though, nothing really with the actual singles; But still, it is different. You can expect to have all the basics too, like sending mail, contacting which ever member you want, message boards, photo uploading, etc. They will most likely have everything you need to have more success in dating.

I like to state when a site is 100% free, because that way you know you are not missing out on anything here. Everyone is equal. The free options you get are worth the sign up, and there are plenty of members to browse through for both genders. The only thing that might turn some people away is the layout and color scheme. It may be lacking a little bit, but it shouldn’t override the many features you receive.

Pros
-Lots of content
-Free

Cons
-Poor layout

I would give it an overall ranking of 7/10. There definitely is a lot of different content here for a free dating website, but it’s all poorly delivered.

Overall Rating:  7/10

As I usually do with new free dating sites, I give them a rating based on a first impression. What the site looks like right away, is a very crucial thing that most sites need to give attention to. Without a very attractive front page, a dating website can’t expect to draw in lots of members further into the services.  Well, Mingle2.com definitely has a wicked layout. It’s different from every matchmaking site I’ve seen so far, and it instantly makes me want to find more out about the site. The front page has a very nice orange and black combo color spread, which is very unique. There’s plenty of information right away, to let you know what the site is all about, and what you’re on there for (which you should already know, if you intentionally went there.) There’s a search option, to limit your searches, or you can scroll down and search by major cities in every state. It’s easy, it has a very pleasant layout, it’s well informative, I can’t wait to see what the site has to offer.

The sign up process takes very little time to complete; probably 3 minutes at most if you choose to fill in all of your personal information right away. If you do that though, the  site can instantly match you up with singles that meet your personal preferences – a very handy feature! Now, the search through member options begins. As far as options for matchmaking go, it’s pretty basic.

There’s an immense forum to post on about your interests, or whatever else you like. You can meet people there who may like exactly what you do, or you can just browse the member database to find someone that interests you. You can easily send mail to anyone you like, and receive messages in return. You can upload photos, and look at other member profile photos. Like I said, it’s pretty basic. I could ask for more, but mingle² is just so welcoming that it’s hard to consider the lack of options a fault.

Mingle2 is completely free , everything you see, is what you get for life; unless they decide to upgrade the site in the future. Otherwise, everyone is equal here. The layout is excellent, and there’s a very nice feel to the whole site. They’re a little short on membership features, but there’s enough to help you find someone you can be happy with.

This is probably one of the best 100% free dating site!

Pros
-Cool design
-Easy Sign-up
-Completely free

Cons
-None

Kizmeet.com

As soon as I read the URL, I wondered if this site was for people who literally wanted to get married immediately; Because usually most online dating sites allow people to get to know each other or just be in a friendly relationship. No one is ever certain who they want to marry for some time. Now you are not actually forced to marry people on kizmeet.com.

It is perfectly alright to find friends first, and then maybe build it into a stronger relationship some day.  The URL can just be a little misleading.  Anyways, you know what the dating  website is used for, but is it easy and efficient?  Well, not really at first.  You are pretty much blocked off from everything as a guest.  None of the additional pages are available until you actually sign up.  You can still look at some informative pages but they really are no help at all.  The only way to find anything out is to actually join on the spot, which is a pain.

Kizmeet Dating Site

Once you sign up, which actually takes about 30 seconds, you will see how bare and empty the site looks.  You have a pathetic menu with no options and the ability to only edit your information, upload pictures, and browse other profiles. It’s very “original.” The only somewhat interesting thing that can be seen is a power points system. It’s hard to tell how this works, but it seems that the more pictures you upload and the more people see your profile equals more points and thus higher level social standing on the dating website. You will be sure to get a lot more attention with a high level social status.  Besides that, there really is not anything else to touch down on.  At least they have a blog updating you with current information (last update was on August 28th.)

Pros
-Okay layout
-Social Status Level System
-Free

Cons
-Empty. Bare.
-No features.
-Hardly any information

The only real good things that can be said about kizmeet.com are that it is free, it has plenty of different kinds of people and all are different in their own respective ways.

Overall Rating:  5/10

The word mingle means “to bring or combine together or with something else.” In terms with the dating website, it means to bring people together. Aw, how cute. In all seriousness though – can this site do what their URL implies? A look around the is sure to answer that. At least you can browse all the contents of the site even without signing up.  The front page is..cluttered, to say the least. It’s a mediocre layout and color scheme with bunches of information scattered throughout. You’ll find the menu, search bar, lots of annoying tags, and some popular singles towards the bottom. There is one informatory snippet though that lets you know all of the features available on the site – for free.

Everything that is available to a free member is as follows:  free online dating, blogs, clubs, groups, social networking, parties, tagging,matchmaking, free personals, chat, and forums. I’m always intrigued by forums and chat rooms because they tend to be a leading factor in most dating websites. Since a lot of free dating sites don’t have these things – it may be worth your time to look into mingles.com just to take a peak at all the tools and features they offer. If you don’t know – groups are made by people who bring other people with a common interest together (There’s that mingle definition again!). This could also be a way to find a single who is into the same stuff that you are. You can easily join an existing group, or make a new one! The groups vary extremely – from “Dog People” to “FireFighterMatch”. You can expect the forums to be pretty average – lots of different subjects and things to post about. If forums and groups are not intimate enough for you – then you can always visit the video chat rooms.

If you are someone out there seriously looking for a lasting relationship – be careful at what singles you get interested in. There are a lot of people on online dating websites (including this one) who just wish to advertise themselves – posting smut, etc. I already noticed several people like that – who just like to flirt with as many people as they can. This matchmaking website could be a somewhat enjoyable experience, as long as you find a single that can give you a lasting relationship. Well – I’ve already went over everything the site has to offer, completely free of charge too. So there is not much more to touch down on.

The content here is good but the layout is just bad. It is not a pretty or “attractive” site, but all the free features could keep most people here regardless. This is definitely a pass overall and should be looked at at least once.

Overall Rating:  8/10

• Tons of free features
• Plenty of members, most of which are respectable singles

• Ugly/Cluttered layout
• Occasional smut postings

  Firstly, I was extremely happy with the sign up process – it was quick, easy, and didn’t make me fill out pages of surveys. This is really a pain some times, when all you want to do is get into the online dating site to try it out, but you’re caught filling in surveys about yourself for several minutes. This is usually beneficial however, because it matches you up with people who have your personal preferences. 4ppl.com is a good change though, and I’m pleased with the quick sign up process. Once that’s taken care of, the first thing you can do is upload photos of yourself. When deciding on a single you’d like to meet, a lot of people take personal appearance into consideration first. From your menu, you can add more information about yourself whenever you want, to tell people a little bit more about who you are.

  The huge thing this online dating site has, that sets it apart from most others, is its extensive blog section. There’s tons of blog posts every day, on a variety of different subjects. If you’re wondering what kind of a person someone is, you can always check and see if they posted and blogs about themselves. Or, you can even write something about yourself, to let people know what you think about something. There is an extensive member list on 4ppl.com, with over 900,000 people, and hundreds joining everyday. It would be hard not to find someone you were seeking with those kinds of numbers.

  Overall, the site has a pretty even and organized layout, but it’s a little bland as far as colors go. There are new blog posts every couple minutes, on lots of different subjects, and there are many members to browse and chat with. There are no paid membership options, so what you see is what you get. This is a very nice feature, because you know that you can make contact with any member on the site, with no catches. It’d be nice if they had videos as well, but the options available already for a free profile are certainly worth the 1 minute sign up process. The free dating website is definitely worth looking at, and at least trying out.
Pros
-Quick % easy sing-up process
-Huge blog archive
-Free

Cons
-Layout would be better
-Poor member profiles
Overall Rating: 6/10

It is almost completely blue – with blue text! Sure the text is bold, and is only a fraction of the words on the page, but it is just a ridiculous choice of color. It’s very simplistic and pretty small and compact. There are a few other little colors which you may notice, but otherwise the dark and bleak blue will be the only thing you see. There are a few specks of information here and there which offer some help. They tell you about the services they offer which includes: Dating Personals, Blogs, Instant Messaging, Clubs & Events, Chats & Boards, and Webcams. That is pretty much it, besides the current member count. There are over 120,000 members which isn’t bad; but only about 200 members are on at a time. Slim numbers when you think about how many people there are on some websites.

Casualkiss also has a points system which shows how much you interact with people. This could be considered a unique feature. Even when you gain access to the site, everything is still blue; and yes most of the text is blue too. So if you know blue text on blue background wont bother you, then you will be fine. Everything the site offers is right on the front page as listed earlier. Different types of lists are added each day like: Worst confessions, worst lies, biggest turn on, dumbest thing you have done, etc. The blogs on the dating website range across all topics and you are welcome to post one of your own. This dating website is overall pretty average, with the other features you would normally see. Everything is free though, which makes things a bit better.

Pros
-Points System
-Couple of Interesting Features
-Webcam

Cons
-Blue text on blue background
-Too much blue background

Whoever had the idea to make this layout should definitely take another look. To most people it would probably look horrid, but for about 120,000 others it was not a problem. So maybe it wont bother you either. It may be worth checking out.

Overall Rating: 5/10

Here is another welcoming dating site just waiting for you to jump right on in and enjoy its dating services. Well, it might not come out and say it quite like that. The website does look a little, ‘cheap’ I suppose, because of its simplified colors and layout, but I have seen much worse. Therefore, this site is already worth giving a chance.

The best thing about this website, is that it has a ton of information right on the front page; all you have to do is scroll down a ways to find it. A lot of sites lack in the info section, so it’s great when you really can find everything you are looking for just like that. Well, according to the website, you can expect everything here to be 100% free, with no hidden charges. All the features and members will be ready for use without the annoying entering and clearing of credit cards and paypal accounts.

The only two requirements for joining this site are, being of legal age, and being unmarried. So, this free online dating site is all about male and female singles only, and no couples or anything like that. You don’t have to be looking for only love though. As much as it is a matchmaking site, it’s also a site for finding friendship, pen pals, activity partners, short term relationships, or long term relationships. So your results here will be varied, depending on what exactly you are looking for. One thing also worth stating, is that there are members here for people all over the world, like Canada, Australia, UK, Europe, etc.

You can do everything most free dating sites allow you to do, with no really special options. You can search for members through their excellent search options, and upload information about yourself and photos to get matches much quicker. There are forums and blogs so you can get a better idea of what some people are like, and maybe some one who enjoys the same things you do. As soon as you sign up you will be on your way and finding singles instantly. The search results and forums are pretty packed, so there are plenty of members here to choose from. This is not a really huge community, but rather one of the smaller ones. That is not necessarily a bad thing though, because some people enjoy a smaller website population more. Whatever works for you is what you should stick with.

The matchmaking site does a good job at presenting itself as a very informative place where everything will always be free no matter what. It doesn’t do too well in the attractiveness part of evaluation, but that does not hurt it too much. There is a mild extensive member database, with people all over the world, and there are many features that will help you get closer to some of them. It has a promising future and could very well be a place to find love or friendship.

Overall Evaluation: 6/10

• Nice info on the front page
• People from all over the world
• Free

• Simplistic Layout

   Before getting too far into that though, I like to grade the website on its appearance first. There aren’t many colors visible, besides the menu and banner, which have the same color combination. The information feels a bit cluttered, or suffocated; but it’s still pretty easy to navigate the pages. There’s the typical search bar, and another one right above it, which corresponds to the “Date Now” feature named earlier. All together, the home page is fairly decent, and offers a good perspective on what you’ll get out of the site, and just why you should stick with them.

  I suppose it’d be good to mention that the website’s services are completely free. This means, that you won’t be restricted from contacting certain members, or be sealed off from any extra features. Everything you see, is what you get. Oddly, when I tried signing up, I received a page that said they were not currently accepting registrations. This has never happened before, and it leads me to believe that the site’s database is just too full right now, or they’re doing work on it. Either way, it was still disappointing. Also, if you want to sign up, you can’t use a hotmail or MSN email address. They don’t state why, but it’s just a rule. Even though I can’t actually become a part of the site right now, I can still see what they all offer.

  There’s a couple things that make this site unique compared to all others. I have yet to see another matchmaking website offer double dating, date now, and a unique college section. The one thing that will capture most people’s attention instantly is the double dating. Everyone knows what it is, but have they ever seen it utilized into a website like this? Probably not. The double date feature allows you to hook up with other people who are also willing to go on a double date. It may be a fun experience, or it may not be. You can’t expect every date to be a total success. There’s also the “Date Now” option. What this lets you do, is instantly hook up with another single in seconds. You’re instantly matched up, and set for a date. Of course, not everyone will use this feature, but those who are daring may want to. The last thing I mentioned, was the college section. When you’re signing up, you have the option to put what college you’re in. Then you become apart of a list of different singles who are also in colleges. There’s different categories in this section, like: Hottest Colleges, Best College for Dating, etc. It’s just an interesting feature not commonly seen.

  Overall, I can’t grade the dating site to 100 percent satisfaction, because I haven’t seen what it’s like on the inside.  Judging from the outside info though, it sounds very promising. The double dating and date now features could be something you love a lot, or just hate. I would recommend hanging around here for a while, and attempt to join up every now and then, and see if you’re allowed to yet; Because it actually seems worth the wait.
