Age Match Review

Overview

The site is massive and there are a ton of active users - 45,000 folks worldwide. Graphics are not too complicated nor too fancy and there are very few bells and whistles, which is great. (Too much bling is very distracting). Guests are not treated like second class citizens there either because they have a lot of services provided to them that other websites do not offer without a full time membership. For example, any guest is able to submit a bio along with ten photos and any member is allowed to browse and converse with other members either through the chat area or through private messaging. A guest member is not allowed to initiate contact, however. One could only reply to an email or private message whereas a paid member is able to respond AND initiate.

Overall, the guest membership is a great opportunity to test things out.

Costs

Free for any guest member. Gold membership is $29.95 for one month; $59.95 for three months; $95.95 for six months; and $143.95 for a year long membership.

Features

Guest members are able to create a profile and post up to ten photos; browse profiles; reply to initiated messages by paid members; chat with other members; post and read comments on forums.

Gold membership entitles a user to all of the above as well as the ability to initiate private messaging; an upload allowance of twenty photos; faster searches through members; the ability to see who is "interested" and who "has viewed me" functions; and customer care 24/7 with priority over non-paying guest members.

There is a scanning service for Gold members as well. One may scan official identification for the moderators of the site as an added security measure.

Search Options

Gold members have the ability to search through last name, age, ethnicity religion, body type, marital staus and whether or not someone has photos posted.

Guest members may search only by age, male or female, and geographic location.

Summary

This is not the greatest site if one is a senior looking for love in his or her age bracket. However for a nice May-September romance or marriage, it's one of the few of its kind. This is a bona fide age gap online dating site.

The added security feature of scanning one's identification with a paid membership is brilliant. It's a safety measure as well as proving one's seriousness in searching for Mr. or Ms. Right. Anyone who wishes to go through those measures is not unreliable or fleetingly curious.

The site is not overwhelmingly stocked with loads of graphics and attention grabbing devices. It's quite simple, which is good because most people want to cut to the chase when searching for love instead of blinking at glaring pop up ads or art work.

The demographics are wide ranging as anyone searching for a date who is significantly older or younger will want to browse this site. With 45,000 members to choose from, one cannot go wrong in at least making a trial run of it. Photos are available for browsing for even a guest member, which is rare for most dating sites.

All in all, for a guest on Agematch.com, one will be pleased with what the site has to offer. Gold membership is even more thorough and worth the price (comparable to other sites in price range).

Very impressive all around.
