When we think of dating websites, Match.com is right up there at the top of the list. Very few competitors come close to Match.com's level of success, and it's not hard to see why. From their amazing, witty ad campaigns to the way they just seem to understand the online dating process, there are few companies in any field who have done as much successful research as Match.com have.

Features

Keeping in line with their incredible knowledge of the dating world, Match.com have implemented a few features that really set them ahead of the pack. When you first log in, you are given 6 people to check out that they think would suit you and your interests. These change from day to day, but it's a great feature to encourage people to get involved with the sociality of the website.

Signing Up

Trawling through a long and arduous profile making ordeal can be taxing. Not on Match.com! When you first sign up, you're asked a small amount of pertinent questions that will actually help you with going on your first date. These answers are all included on your profile and include things like your height and weight, the kind of relationship you're looking for, and whether or not you're interested in marriage or children (major deal breakers for some people).

If you don't feel comfortable with answering any of the questions, you can opt out of all of them and choose to discuss them more with the people you actually want to talk to.

Safety

Online dating is actually a lot safer than some skeptics would have you think. Nowhere else are your potential dates vetted like they are on Match.com, and you are shielded from giving out any personal information until you choose to.

What We Love

There are countless great features that Match.com have included, but one the most prominent ones is the fact that there is a pay wall in place. Knowing that every person you receive a message from has paid to sign up makes them seem all the more serious about really meeting new people, and gives you a minor guarantee that it's a little more genuine. That and the daily 6, which really cuts down on the time you need to spend. And for an even simpler, more immediate way of connecting with potential matches, use Match.com's super simple and sleek mobile functionality, to access all of Match's unique features directly from your phone!

Bottom Line

Overall, Match.com is a loveable site that does exactly what you want it to and a few things you wouldn't expect. If you're serious about finding a mate or just meeting new friends, this is one of the very best places to be. Sign up today and find your match!
