Guide Review - LDS Singles Site Review: LDS Singles Online
On LDS Singles Online you can see who has viewed your profile, see who has sent you a message or flirt, but you have to become a paying member to view the actual flirt or message. Setting up a profile with LDS Singles Online is not as easy as some sites, but is relatively quick. The optional compatibility matching, powered by Compass, takes a lot of time, and although it could be somewhat useful, I see it as a detriment to online dating. Focusing on finding a match who is a lot like you in multiple aspects of life (other than the basics) is a sure way to block a possibly good match. I believe there's a reason "opposites attract" in that being with someone who is different than us is what brings us closer together. Fortunately the Compass matching is optional. In contrast, I think the readiness profile test is really cool, although it does take some time to do. Basically you honestly answer questions to see if you're ready for a relationship (on multiple levels) and the test is 100% confidential, just for your information only. LDS Singles Online also has some annoying advertising on the site as well as turning most of the words in your greeting into individual links- which is very distracting. Other than that I recommend this LDS Singles site as the technical features are high quality, there's a lot of traffic and thousands of profiles to browse through.
