Member Base

The website claims that they have millions of Latin members. I have conducted many searches and found that there are many serious minded daters that can be found here. You will find members in a wide age group and also members from your country as well as members from the U.S.

Longevity

It will be harsh to decide the longevity of any site within a few hours. According to the searches I conducted, I am expecting a healthy response from the members as I found many serious daters on the site.

Conclusion

The look and feel of the website is quite pretty and very much attractive. The combination of red and white color gives it visual appeal.

Registration to the site is hassle free and fairly quick as compared to other sites.

Login and customization of your profile is easy and can be done with minimum effort.

Photo uploading is only available from your computer and there are certain guidelines for photo uploading but these are necessary for maintaining some decorum on the site.

Browsing through certain areas of the site is exclusively only to paid members so those who are on trial free membership will be disappointed with lack of accessibility. Searching on the site is easy and the search function has been designed nicely.

Messaging is not the best feature and lacking completely for free members.

The member base appears to be good and hosts serious minded daters which may be helpful in finding your match.

-The End-

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Some good advice in this post from David Wygant an expert on The Naked Truth Behind Dating, Sex and Relationships.

He talks about how to connect with women at an emotional level through the online profile and is targeted towards men in particular.

I too have found that online profiles are generally very static and lacking in substance especially the ones by men. They don’t generally move you in any way.

His argument is that women need some emotional connection with somethings and he gives some good examples. For example if you visited Italy and you said something like “I love Italy”, this naturally sounds boring compared to say “On my trip to Italy, I cruised down the Positano Coast and saw the most amazing sunset you can ever believe”. This stirs up an emotional feeling in people.

He concludes that online dating is more about a conversation than just stating facts and is no different to flirting in a bar, at a supermarket or anywhere else.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

This post talks about the dos and dont’s of finding a date online by Joy Browne who is author of Dating For Dummies (3rd Edition). Although, I am fairly certain that the book will go into much more detail than the information on this post, nevertheless, there is good advise here and I would recommend further reading.

Some of the important points about posting a profile and dating online that is mentioned in the post include the following;

- Be precise when writing your profile
- Think about what makes you unusual and focus on those points to make yourself stand out
- Make your English teacher proud (I mentioned this point previously in my Dr Dato posts)
- Be honest with yourself, I particularly like her remark about shaving a year or two is ok with age, but decades are questionable
- Practice safety and date within 25 mile radius

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

*** Scam Alert ***
Here is another press release on another new site that claims to solve singles unhappiness ‘through the maze of useless hype which fills the internet dating scene in 2011′, in their words.

Of course, I visited the site and it looks very similar to an infomercial that we have seen time and time again of people who claims to hold the secret knowledge to ‘great wealth’. It reads exactly like that, were you read each line - makes great sense - read the next line - makes even greater sense - then continue to read all the way to bottom and naturally you have the option to purchase something.

The thinking behind these websites are a way to motivate users to feel that there is something ‘great’ behind all of this and you take the plunge and find that there is really nothing there.

I am not a great fan of these types of sites but people do fall for them, eg. the person who says you can make money instantly through their marketing tool or someone who claims to make you instant money through their internet programs.

These websites simply pray on the mind of the ‘negativity’ of the individual and usually last for a very short period of time, creating hype as they exploit those individuals, make money and close business.

You may ask, how can I be so sure?

It’s pretty simple really, because if you read the press release the very thing that they are trying to cultivate and push propaganda against, are exactly the same thing that they are doing. For example, “It is so disheartening to see so many singles being taking advantage of by slick promotions…”

A genuine offer of a product, would be transparent and to the point and not laced with negativity and having the holy grail to the ‘pocket of information’ that will solve all our problems and woes.

some dating sites do make fantastic claims, watch out for them!
