Positive Features
- Have many different features for
members to use such as Blogs, Friend Network and Interest Groups.
The FriendFinder Network of Sites probably offers the most to its
members in terms of the number of features available to use.
- 2 types of paid memberships, Silver
and Gold. You can go for a cheaper (by about 35%) Silver
membership but you will have slower response technical support and
less searching options. A great way to go if you are still not
sure about the site and don't want to pay full price.
- The FriendFinder Magazine is one of
the few online dating magazines that contain lots of contributions
(articles, polls, answers to questions) from its regular members.
- Extra option of allowing Standard
Members (non paying members) the ability to contact you if you
choose to pay an additional small monthly fee. Normally
Standard members cannot communicate with other members. They
can only perform searches and preview profiles.
Negative Features
- Reports on the internet
seem to indicate that this sites approval process for new profiles
may need to be overhauled as there may be a few more fake profiles
than on other dating sites (all of the large sites contain some fake
profiles).
