FriendFinder

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:30:52 +0000

The Friend Finder network is one of the largest dating and friendship communities in the world. Friendfinder combines some of the best features of a social networking site and a dating service, making it a hub of activity for mingling and getting to know other people. Guest membership is free.

Number of Members: 569,000

Cost: Silver Membership: 1 month – $24.68

Regions Covered: United States

Online Since: 1998

The Friend Finder network is one of the most popular online dating communities in the world, and FriendFinder.com is their leading mainstream site. Those familiar with sites like eHarmony.com or Match.com will notice a distinctly different atmosphere on the Friendfinder network. Friendfinder feels much more like a cross between a social networking site and a dating service, than your typical matchmaking site.

The site offers a free basic membership with the option to upgrade to Silver or Gold memberships for a fee. While free members can do searches and explore the site, they aren’t able to view full profiles or communicate with other members, unless it happens to be a paying member who has paid for the privilege to receive emails from guests. Upgrades also have certain benefits not found in standard memberships, such as email alerts and enhanced profile options. A valid email is required to receive a password. This cuts down on empty and unfulfilled profiles.

The site offers many different ways to interact with other members, some of which are available for free. The large number of options can be a little overwhelming at first. However the site layout does a good job of directing you to the most useful features. The site displays quick links to things such as “local searches”, which automatically displays members near to you (for local U.S. Zip codes), as well as local discussion groups, where members living close to each other have their own chat room and can make friends in a relaxed way.

The site tends to be quite a hub of activity, giving members plenty of chance to mingle and get to know one another. The online magazine offers dating advice, horoscopes and numbers of success stories. Members can also create their own free personal blogs where they can write an online diary. The owner of the blog has complete control over who can read posts. Access can be restricted to friends or members if desired.

Friendfinder is known for its more mature atmosphere, and is better geared for the person looking for a friendship or a committed relationship rather than a discreet or illicit rendezvous. These types of dating services are catered for by sister sites such as Passion.com and AdultFriendFinder.com.

Get it On is a different type of adult dating community that offers true sexual compatibility testing to help you find not just any partner, but a partner who is compatible where it matters, in bed. The site, though recently launched is quickly growing in popularity and offers free basic membership.

Number of Members : 241,000

Cost: Premium: 1 Month $29.04

Regions Covered: United States

Online Since: 2009 (relaunched)

Get it On is a website where consenting adults can meet their sexual equal. The site offers an innovative adult compatibility test that enables members to specify their sexual chemistry in terms of likes and dislikes, fetishes and fantasies. From this, they can discover other members who are sexually compatible with them. The test is the first step of the registration process on the site. It takes just a few moments and all of the questions are on one page. You simply click one of the choices from “Gotta have it” to “Never gonna happen” for each question. On completing this, you’re then asked to enter a few personal details for your profile, some details about the type of relationship you are seeking, and you’re done.

On entering the site, you can quickly find members who are compatible by simply clicking on “best matches”, upon which you’ll be presented with a page of members and a score for each, indicating how well they match your preferences. Clicking “compare our answers” will show a side-by-side comparison. On such a site, this saves a lot of time, since you can simply “hone in” on those members who are looking for the same thing as you are.

Getiton.com is a relatively new site, and was revamped with a host of new and exciting features in 2009. They already have a sizable database of members who are ready to explore their wilder side. As a member site of the Friendfinder group, one can be sure of a robust and secure dating platform, and a constant stream of new members, thanks to their active publicity campaigns. The site is well put together, responsive, and easy to use.

The free basic membership offered gives just a sneak preview of the site. Upgrading to a paid membership will be necessary in order to view profiles and communicate with members on the site.
