The free trial gives you full access to the site, allowing you to browse member profiles in their entirety and even e-mail other members! Very few other dating sites will give you a no-holds barred free trial access where you can access all the features! The downside is this - you must hand over your credit card details to start with.

  • marital status
  • whether the member has pictures posted

Editor's Verdict:

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. It is mainly because of this no-nonsense stance taken by True.com, that it has one of the most even male-to-female ratios of any dating site we've reviewed, which is great news for girls and guys alike.

Originally launched under the name TrueBeginnings.com, True has benefited from an extensive media campaign and has amassed an impressive 11 million members, making it one of the largest, not to mention oldest, online dating sites on our list.

Apart from its security screening of members, another major feature of True.com is its scientific approach to dating. When you join True.com you will be asked to complete the True Compatibility Test, which is an in-depth psychological questionnaire with mainly multiple-choice answers to help determine your personality type as well as the personality type of your ideal match. This test can be a great help in finding your online match and is the only psychological test provided by any dating site that's endorsed by Psychology Today. You will also have access to True.com's Sexploration Test, to help you determine your sexual profile and the sexual profile of your ideal match. True.com state that there are 8 different sex personalities from mild to wild. Hooking you up with someone of the same personality type can save time by not hooking you up with the wrong people and will also provide you with a lot more fun in the bedroom!

True.com ranks highly with us mainly because of it's huge members database, giving you a greater pool of potential matches to choose from; its emphasis on safety and the lengths it goes to to make sure that you're as safe as you can be online; and its scientific approach to dating, which can save you time by allowing you to focus your efforts on potential dates who match your personality profile. However, we have one or two reservations about True.com, which is why it narrowly missed the top spot on our list of top 10 dating sites. First of all, we thought True.com was quite expensive compared to the competition, with memberships starting at a whopping $49.99 a month! This is steep by any standards and is more than double that charged by our No. 2 site, FriendFinder.com! However, you pay for what you get, and background checks of all kinds on all members doesn't come cheap! Our second reservation is the fact that, even if you're a paid-up member and you send another member an email, that member can't respond to you unless he/she is also a paid-up member! Now this may seem like common sense, and you might think "yeah, well that stands to reason", but some dating sites allow free members to reply to your emails - they just prevent free members from initiating contact with anyone. This is the case with our top two choices, Match.com and FriendFinder.com. Our third and biggest reservation is that you can't see when other members were last online, meaning that you have no idea how active a particular member is on the site. You might just end up wasting your time emailing someone who hasn't logged on in 6 months, meaning that you'd be very unlikely to get a reply.

In summary, if you're in any way concerned about safety online and the trustworthiness of other members, then True.com is definitely the one for you! It does more than any other dating site we've come across to ensure your online dating experience is a safe and happy one. This combined with lots of advanced features, an active and vibrant online community, a massive database of members and a pretty even male-to-female ratio, means that True.com is a worthy entry at No. 4 in our top 10 list of dating sites.
