The site is designed to be easy and fun to use. Members can create a free profile and upload pictures. They would complete a questionnaire which consists of several multiple-choice items as well as some essay questions where you can fill in more specific information about yourself. When one searched for a potential match, matches were ranked according to the percentage of identical responses you have to the responses in someone else's profile in the multiple-choice section of the questionnaire. You could also sort your match list by distance from your zip code to the zip code of the matches. All of this is free of charge.
When a member decides he is ready for more personal contact, he can upgrade his membership and communicate with other members via email, chat or IM. You might wonder why someone would choose to pay a fee to communicate with other singles on the net when there are so many chat rooms online where you can talk for free.
