Messaging
This is one of my most passionate areas for discussion, since the messaging is really crux to the whole communication between you and the other members of the website.
Messaging on this site has almost the same look and feel of other online email messaging that you may use ie. AOL, Gmail and this extends to the other available features such as IM, sending smileys and virtual gifts. Option like “date me” where user can send message to a person that they would like to date. You can also add the person you locate either through search or message into your favorites.
All of the above features cost from $16 to $400 depend upon how much credit point you purchase for yourself.
Other features
Website has many additional services like ‘correspondence’ where they provide services like letter of correspondence and will help you to exchange letters with a matched profile that you take a liking to.
They also provide translation services where they will provide a translator if you do not understand the language of the other person.
They also provide services like delivering flowers and special gifts, perfumes, fruit vases, a teddy bear, a bottle of sparkling wine. It all seems geared towards the ‘Latin’ way of romance and love.

They also organize the “Romance Tour” where a user can register and get to meet and know the best places to find Latin woman and they have been organizing this with success since 2005.
There is a section of top 1000 videos where a user can see videos of enticing woman waiting to meet you and it looks to me to be a publicity stunt.
The Amolatina website lacks a very basic meeting place for users such as a forum or a blog where they can feel more engaged with the other users of the site.
Member Base
Website does not claim to have any specific number of members on their site. After spending a good part of a day on this site it seems that is has majority of female members than males which could make it attractive for the male population. The site is aimed for western gents. looking for women from the latin countries and coupling the latin women to those men.
I tried finding the profiles of different age groups and found that a majority of members are in there 30’s and 40’s with a very few in their 20’s.

Registration to the site takes less than a minute and that is what a user expects these days which is a hassle free registration.
Though the website needs to think more about its photo uploading capabilities since this is a paid site, I was expecting much more.
Browsing and searching options provided are good and accurate to narrow down to specific matches.
Messaging feature of this site as mentioned is very good, but you need to be premium member to get the most out of it.
The website needs to think of providing more user interactive features instead of such features like ‘correspondence’ which is a bit outdated.
Features like the “Romance Tour” could be effective for the person who doesn’t want to tinker with all the efforts of searching for a date by their own.

Dr Dato’s series on online dating etiquette - Part 4 - Messaging other members

Article Subject: Dr Dato’s series on online dating etiquette - Part 3 - Messaging other members
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
In part 3 of this series, we talked about the opening line of a message and how it impacts readership of the recipient depending on the opening line. Here we talk about the actual message itself and how you can improve on this based on information that we have gathered from the Jumpdates.com database.
In similar fashion to having a good unique opening line to garner an interest, the same is true of your actual message and the type of message is different for both men and women. Words that we have found that often invokes interest are “your name”, “you mentioned”, “like your taste”, “noticed that”. This would probably imply that you have read something of the profile and you were not just simply doing an email blast to all the respective members.
From a man’s perspective of creating a unique message, the actual wording should at least reflect something of the profile and on top of that craft an interesting sentence out of this. For example, suppose that you found a females profile that you liked and there was information on how she loved dancing. You could say something like “I recently saw this dance show an old movie where the dance show blew me away, did you by chance see that movie…”. Women are generally looking for someone to connect with, so try to make that type of emotional connection which will get them noticing you.
For a women, it can be a different ball game, because its often the male who is the pursuer and the female is the benefactor. However, in the world of dating this has all changed and women can now equally do what men has done over time without having to feel pushed or cornered into making decisions. The online tools on the website available to women make this possible ie. being able to block users, comprehensive search to find potential partners etc. It is therefore incumbent upon them to take full advantage of this and find a more matched profile which is to their liking. To attract men that you find worthy of communicating, try to look over the profile and find something of interest to write about in your subject line. Generally, it is wise to keep the conversation to a minimum if its the first time you are communicating with that person. Say something along with a catch subject line like “I would be interested to hear more about your interest…” or “I know someone who does exactly what you do and…”, “By the way, I have a shirt just like that color…”.
Read this post that has more information ideally suited to men, who want to create that connection that will get them noticed.
