Being one of the original players of the internet dating game gives Match.com a lot of credibility in the eyes of savvy internet users. These guys have seen other internet dating sites or services come and go. Match was able to watch the bubble burst in 1999 when so many internet based businesses just fell into ruin. All the while, they just kept on doing the same thing - responding to customer needs, provide a fantastic service to those customers, and look really good while doing it.

If you're looking for a place where you can look over millions ( literally ) of profiles, then you've come to the right place.  Match probably has a larger membership base than the next two competitors combined! Their membership is from all over the world, all walks of life, and pretty much all kinds of people. Looking for a 4'5" guy who plays the harpsichord?  He's probably here!

Aside from the sheer masses of humanity, Match provides it's members with some of the most powerful and easy to use tools around. The searching facility will find that needle in a haystack that you're looking for. Should you come across someone you want to know more about, you have an array of options to choose from - from simple text messages to computer driven voice mail to a plethora of photographic displays.

Your anonymity is protected at all times - until you decide to share your personal information with someone, you're simply known as whatever username you chose when you sign up.  The same is true for your email address, Match has an anonymous email system - it screens out both parties email addresses and acts as a go-between.

Keeping in line with some of the current trends, Match has several pricing options available.  Right now, as I write this, they have some sort of guarantee going on.  I can't say precisely how it works, but it's a really sweet offer. There's no telling when they'll take this offer off of the table, so if you're interested, you might want to check into it soon.

Personally, I loved the entire "Match.com" experience, and met several really nice people there. This is the sort of internet dating site that gives the industry a good name.
