Lavalife is a dating powerhouse for singles that want to reach out. Pictures and profiles are nice but their power is certainly dwarfed by other methods of communication. Lavalife is a dating powerhouse because it offers it’s users so many different ways to get in touch. Their website is put together really well and we’ll get into that shortly. First I want to touch on a few things that set Lavalife apart from the rest.
Lavalife offers a phone dating and voice personals service called Lavalife Voice. You can call and listen to thousands of voice personals at no charge. Lavalife voice has phone dating lines in hundreds of cities across the US and Canada. If you’re into talking to other singles one on one from the word “go”, Lavalife’s Voice service is definitely something to shout about.
Lavalife also offers an online magazine called “Click”, covering topics from dating and relationship advice to horoscopes and help with your online dating profile. They publish articles that canvas the world of online dating on a regular basis.
Now on to Lavalife’s online dating website. You’ll love how Lavalife breaks up their online dating categories and the search functions that are available for all of them. If I’m interested in intimate dating, I can simply click on the intimate dating tab and break down the profiles by type (video, picture, who’s online, who’s local). These breakdowns are available for every category; Dating, Relationship, and Intimate.
You can also join “The Party” at Lavalife. If you have a picture and a profile you can instantly log into “The Party” which is a big chat room full of singles! Having your picture uploaded also grants you access to the forums.
The last feature I wanted to touch on is Lavalife’s alert box. This keeps you updated on the instant messages you’re receiving, your mail status, who’s ‘smiling’ at you (lavalife’s version of flirting), who’s viewed your profile and who’s requesting backstage passes to you.
Lavalife has invested a lot of time and effort into their website and it shows. There are so many different ways to hook up with local singles that you’re bound to see some success on this website. It’s definitely worth throwing your hat in this ring.
What I Love About Lavalife:
- Lavalife’s category breakdown that allows you to narrow down the type of singles you’re looking for in just a few clicks.
- How diverse Lavalife’s service really is. This is one of the most in thorough dating websites on the internet; Phone or Internet, you can find singles easily.
- Lavalife’s alert box. Time is of the essence when you’re looking for love. The alert box that you’re provided with as a free member is going to keep you up to date on who’s looking or talking to you.
What I Hate About Lavalife:
- The lack of personality. Most search functions focus on logistics and not necessarily the person. Lavalife doesn’t offer a compatibility service.
- Having to upload a photo to chat with others or use the forums. I realize it’s important, but some people need to make a text connection before they’re ready to show people thier picture.
