Personal profile registration at Match.com takes about 25-35 minutes depending your computer writing skills. Profile registration process is not boring as on some other dating sites. While registering at Match.com you have to check boxes and write few sentences in a fields where you are asking to post thoughts regarding given questions. For you help there are some leading questions and by reading them you can make your profile description more interesting for reading.

Profile registration process at Match.com consists from 2 phases: 1) You enter your personal information 2) You enter information about match you are seeking for. After completing personality profile you can choose radius from your residence where to search profiles at Match.com. You can get results in 20 miles from your town, in your state or country.

After reviewing Match.com registration forum I can say that it is easy-and-interesting to fill.

Match.com design is mostly in warm colors so your eyes don't get tired quickly. Site navigation at Match.com is very easy to understand and all available options works quickly because they all are java-script supported. The most annoying part of web site browsing is advertising. Some of advertising creative is well integrated and don't worry until you decide to visit advertiser site but there are also some on-page flash banners which sometimes blocks text and your ability to read what you want.

Also it's difficult to find all features and web site services like Mobile Match.com and Local Singles. Yes, they have link at the bottom of the page but most of visitors mostly using links in web site interface not bottom page links. When you search, you get 10 results returned on each page, each in its own frame, allowing you to see the match username, age, location, age of whom they are seeking, subject header, and description. You as service member have the option to send an email, chat (if the person is online), wink at the person, leave a voicemail for the person, or add the person to your favorites.

Match.com is unique dating service. They offer both dating and matchmaking services. It means that you could browse and contact all singles at Match.com by yourself or you can use Total Attraction Matching. Total Attraction Matching search options deliver members with whom you'll share a mutual attraction based on the preferences you entered in the "About My Date" section of your profile. Match.com has largest singles database and this fact doing their search most comprehensive comparing to other dating sites.

Free members zone is quite interesting to browse and to study site navigation and services. As a free member you can:
# Search for matches
# Create a profile
# Post a photo
# Send / Receive winks Comparing with other dating sites Match.com has enough space and options for free members. You can fell yourself as full member of site by searching and adding singles to favorite folder, you can wait for winks and interest in your person before becoming a paid member. This is main Match.com advantage you can check how the dating at Match.com works and wait for interest from other side instead of paying for ability to search as it is done on some other dating sites.

After making payment you become full member of Match.com. Match.com’s paid features package is one of the greatest than any other dating site have. They include video clips and voice greetings to personalize your profile. You'll get a dedicated Match.com mailbox so you can wink, email or flirt with anyone at any time, safely and privately. Also paid members can remove members from view and see who's viewed your personal ad. Match.com already has more than 100.000 paid members and it's the best proof of service quality.

As always we highly recommend paying for at least 3-month membership because usually it takes about 3 month to find a date on any dating service. And you save a lot of money by purchasing few month membership. Membership price on Match.com is one of the cheapest if you pay for 6-month membership. Please remember that Match.com automatically renew your membership when it's about to expire, so if you will decide to stop your membership do it immediately or your credit card will be billed without your knowledge but it's mentioned in Match.com terms and agreement and it's OK according to the lay. Here is membership price list at Match.com:

6 month package - $12.99 per month (billed in one payment of $77.94)
3 month package - $16.99 per month (billed in one payment of $50.97)
1 month package - $29.99 per month (billing every month until you decide to cancel recurring payment)
Payments accepting by all major credit cards: Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club and JSB. Also you can by online check, and mail in payment: money order (In U.S. funds), check.

Match.com also offers 3 and 7 days free trials memberships but you will be billed for a six-month subscription after your 3 or 7 free days. When paying you can buy additional features like Highlighted Profile and First Impressions to improve your chances to be noticed by other singles. Mostly it is recommended for members who join Match.com for one month. It would help them to show their ad to larger audience and quantity of letters will be much higher than without those features. If you join Match.com for short period of time those features are recommended to buy.
