In our ongoing super tests of all the dating sites out there, we have come across another site called Amolatina. Amo means “I love” in Spanish and so the whole word reads “I Love Latina”. This site helps you to target and find the the best Latin females, so let’s begin our tour and see how good a job it does.

Users can continue to add more details in the profile section about themselves which are available for other users to view when they do a search. To be registered on this site you need to be 18 years of age or over.

Login & Customizing Profiles

Login to this site is flexible; I mean to say that user can login by their email address or userid generated by the website along with their password.

As far as customizing is concerned, the user can change details of his profile like personality, habits, lifestyle, the kind of match wanted along with the option for changing password.

As a user you cannot set any rule for their own privacy to prevent certain people to see on not to see your profile is a missing component of the site. If I am paying for a service such as this, I would like to be in control of that feature.

Photo Profile Section

Uploading photo features of this site is minimalistic and user can only upload a maximum of 4 photos to this site.

There are no such rules or guidelines for uploading photos, but it is at the discretion of the user since the webmaster has the option to delete or ban you from the website.

Browse & Search Feature

Browsing is very simple with this site since all the options are placed neatly at the top.

Searching is categorized into two parts, a basic and an advance search and they both provide an accurate search result based on your search criteria. Using the basic search a user can search by age, country, weight, height, number of children, habits but one big omission is that you cannot search by location ie. city.

With the advanced search, a user can make the search more granular with additional information such as color of eyes, drinking habits, religion, zodiac signs and you do have the city search in this search option.

User can also search by userid of the profile, which is not that user friendly since very people will remember userids in any case.

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.
