Main Features/Site Info and Review

Matchmaker allows online daters to join for free initially, as do most online dating portals. Once you sign up as a Matchmaker.com member you will be able to post a profile in which you can add very personalized greeting including a clip of your voice that other members can see, and hear. You will also be able to browse other member photos and send members you like messages letting them know your interest has been piqued. The Matchmaker.com Search Feature allows users to search by location, member age and other preferences that users can individually customize. Once an unpaid member upgrades their account to paid member status they are given access to contact members through voice and (popular in younger online daters) video greetings, chat and/or email. A special feature the Matchmaker.com site offers is the "Notes to Self" function which allows you to write a quick note above another members profile picture. Reminding you perhaps that you've already made contact, or that the person has mentioned a favorite color, scent, etc.

With their extensive online dating database, Matchmaker.com offers a pretty good chance that all those building Matchmaker.com profiles will find a match within your own geographic area whether your looking for a serious permanent relationship, or just something friendly for now.

Matchmaker.com also hosts outside social events (also known as group dates) a few times each month so that members can get out and get to know each other in a more public singles environment. These events often include dinner and dancing and are very well reviewed across the internet.
