You will see a search preference box at the left side which allows you to make a simple search. Here you have to give the gender, within area, age range and ethnicity of the partner that you are looking for.

After Subscription
You can access more features like;
Member Base
Member base is very strong. I found members from all over the world but most of the members are from USA and ranging in the age group of 20’s to 30’s.
Longevity
I got a good response from the members only after an hour as I registered. This shows that the site will be very effective in finding your date partners.
Still I think that more time spending will only make me to comment anything about the website.

Conclusion
We have seen so many concepts like card dating, senior dating etc here new concept of mobile dating with skout.com.
The look and feel of the website is nice and gives somewhat multicolor effect and use of background color of blue and black in the front is a nice combination.
Registration process is very simple as you need to give only five to six things about yourself and profile completion is also not a tedious process.
If you have a facebook account then you can simply register using that account.
Login needs email and password and new users will get login to the site immediately after registration.
Customizing is not that great as you can only edit your profile.
Photos can be uploaded from your computer only and there are no rules and regulations for picture uploading and you can upload many pictures but the number is not clear.
