Member Base
Website has more than 1 million members and currently services in 24 countries and hosts websites in 15 different languages. This website shows it has a male population of 56% and a female population of 44%.

Though members of the website are from different parts of the world there is a bigger concentration of the members from the US, UK and Canada. Member age groups are in the 20’s and 40’s.

Majority of the profiles I have visited have good detailed information which shows that people on the site are serious daters.

Longetivity

The longetivity feature can not be discussed in one day, we need to give more time to the site to judge whether we can get effective responses from other members. We will be revisiting the section to check how well the progress on this website goes.
