SinglesCrowd’s motto is "where singles become couples." The online dating site offers free registration, compatibility matching, 24/7 customer service and support, and a pre-screening service that aims to shut out users who intend to abuse the SinglesCrowd community. Users who choose the free membership program get to send cards to other users and access a list of matches recommended by the site’s SuperMatch Wizard. Upgraded versions of SinglesCrowd is available, letting you send cards and make contacts anonymously, send an unlimited number of e-mails, manage messages, watch videos uploaded on member profiles, and access the various match services, like StarMatch, SensualMatch, SelectMatch and SoulMatch.

Depending on your membership with SinglesCrowd, you can upload audio and video files, as well as photos. Users can also organize their contacts and favorite profiles in HotList groups, and users can add as many groups as they want. SinglesCrowd also features a BlockList, which lets users filter out e-mails, messages and cards from any member they want to avoid. Anyone can view the dating tips and etiquette archive on SinglesCrowd, which posts articles and advice for communicating in a relationship, designing an online dating profile, tips for single moms, balance technology, social media and a relationship, and more.

Yahoo does everything else, so why not play matchmaker! You can login with your Yahoo account name (you have one, I know you do) get started with the profile which is fairly long and detailed. YahooPersonals.com seems aimed at a younger audience as top questions include TV watching behavior and social behavior. YahooPersonals.com also asks you to decide between casual dating and serious relationships and charges you accordingly. Benefits vary depending on which avenue you choose but it all comes down to chat, email, voice and video messaging and access to their online dating magazine. NEW! Less reading, more romance. YahooPersonals.com has just updated their profile presentation so it’s easier to read and customizable. You can now pick which traits (height, weight, smoking, etc.) you want to present up front in the Quick View. Even cooler is "See if You’re a Fit", which lists a person’s ideal match traits next to their own. This way you can see if you’re as right for them as they are for you. Sign up for a full 7-Day free pass (you credit card will be billed at the end of the seven days) or use the tiered pricing structure to save 50% if you sign up for six months at YahooPersonals.com.
