MegaFriends offers a website featuring a hybridized approach. This
includes
a social networking option to compliment the dating services.
The site's approach is somewhat different from typical
mainstream
dating sites. Let's see how they do when judged as a
conventional
dating website.
While most of the better international dating websites
have
memberships of 3 million or more, we're concerned by the fact that Mega Friends has a membership under 1
million. If this number is shared by the social networking arm of the
site then the dating possibilities suffer even more. With
this
number of members, unless they are concentrated in one
region, it
usually signifies less than adequate results. We tested the
situation by performing a typical search.
The
results of the
search presents us with 12 listings. All of these members were within
our
city but none had been on the site within the past 90 days.
That
lack of activity signifies an unworkable site from our perspective and
one not worthy of joining, even as a free member.
We
can't
recommend this site even though we like some
of the features it has for
its members. There's e-mail and chat room
access
for free members and an extensive forum menu. Unfortunately, with
such an inactive dating membership, those features are not as asset for
daters (as they may already be in relationships and merely want to network, socially).
Our recommendation is that you save your
time and go
check out one of our top ten mainstream dating sites. We also have reviews for many lower-rated dating sites, as we compared and contrasted numerous dating sites to determine which were the best. Our detailed critiques should provide you with lots of useful advice, but ultimately only you can decide which dating site suits you best. Your location, budget, technical preferences, and dating aspirations will all play a role in your decision. So we suggest reading some more of our reviews and then signing up for free trials with some of your preferred sites.
