Lavalife.com |

No. of Active Members: over 15 million
|

Lavalife is based in Toronto, Canada, and was launched in 1997. As such it is very popular amongst Canadians, especially as the site is also available in French. However, following extensive publicity campaigns in recent years, the site has now become popular in many other countries, most notably the USA, UK and France, and has amassed an impressive 15 million registered users, making it one of the most popular dating sites on our list. One of the main features of Lavalife is that it is effectively split into three different sections: a casual dating section; a relationships section; and an intimate encounters section...

True.com |
|
|
No. of Active Members: over 11 million
|

True.com markets itself as the safest, most trustworthy dating site around. No other dating site runs background checks on its members like True does. True.com screens all its members for any US felonies or sexual convictions against one of the largest criminal records databases on the internet. They also screen all of their members against various public records to ensure they are indeed single, as they claim to be. True.com claim they will bring civil action against any members who have felony convictions or who are married. While this may all seem a little over the top, it does provide a safer environment and greater peace of mind for all of True.com's legitimate members, especially female members.

Date.com |

Date.com has a great name, doesn't it? I bet all the other dating sites wish they'd bought this domain name first! Launched in 1997 and then re-launched on Valentine's day 2000, Date.com now has over 2 million members and was responsible for more than 50 marriages last year! One of the best things about Date.com is the fairly even ratio of male to female members, which is about 55% male and 45% female...

Chemistry.com |

No. of Active Members: around 11 million

Chemistry.com is very similar to eHarmony (see below) in many respects. It relies on various matchmaking and compatibility principles that were pioneered by eHarmony.com, but with the addition of personality (or chemistry) matching based on Dr. Helen Fisher's anthropological research. It is largely because of this advanced matchmaking system that we put Chemistry.com ahead of eHarmony in our ratings! Unlike most other dating sites (with the exception of eHarmony and PerfectMatch.com), Chemistry.com doesn't allow you to browse and read members' profiles for yourself. Instead it does the matchmaking for you based on an intensive questionnaire that you have to complete when you join...

What can we say about eHarmony? eHarmony is not your typical dating site, that's for sure! When you visit eHarmony, the first thing you notice is that it's divided into two sections: a section for singles who are looking for love; and a section for those who are already married. The singles section is designed to find you a perfect match - not just a date - but your perfect match in life, which is no mean feat! The married section is designed to strengthen your relationship with your spouse. For the purposes of this review, we will focus on the singles section of eHarmony - the section that's going to find you your perfect match...
