Add to 'Favorites' for free
Send a 'Like' for free

To fully maximize your online-dating experience using this site, it is advisable to avail of a subscription, since you can only chat with anyone once you become a premium member.

The profiles are quite detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
This is perfect for you if you're looking for a dating site that allows you to get to know its members well through their detailed profiles.
Profiles show your name, age, location, zodiac sign, and when you were last active on the site. Profiles also feature your search criteria, personal data, appearance, trips, character, hobbies, habits, etc. There's also a 'Text about Yourself' box, which allows you to write anything about yourself as long as you won't include any contact information. However, note that you have the option not to fill out all those fields. But while testing, we have found out that most members have detailed profiles.
You can also add up to 30 photos and 10 videos to your profile for free. And if you want members to hear your voice, you may add a voice greeting. But all these still have to undergo verification.
The cool part is that you can change your profile's background to your liking. Just choose any from the set of designs provided.
Some accounts also have verification badges. You will only receive one once you accomplished the following:
Photos verification
Email confirmation
Account verification via any social network
Phone verification

If your privacy and security matter to you most, this site is not for you because anyone can just view other members' profiles even without logging in to the site.
