AgeMatch.com is a dating site that looks to bridge the age gap in relationships. Although it lacks the bells, whistles and flash that some other dating sites offer, what it does have is a functioning dating site that lets you concentrate on the more important task of finding love. Here’s how it rated…

One of the biggest downsides to this site is that it limits your searching criteria unless you are a paid member. For example, you can’t search for profiles based on anything more than sex, age and distance from your location. It would be nice to have some more features on here that free users can use but it shouldn’t prove hazardous to the overall goal of determining this site’s worth.

Although Age Match allows you to run searches based on your proximity to other members, it limits you to a 100-mile radius if you’re browsing for free. This means it may be difficult to see exactly how many members are in your immediate area. A hundred miles can be a long way to travel for a relationship but here’s hoping that the results that are returned allow you to make an accurate assessment of the site’s local popularity.

“What you will get is more people open to the possibilities that love and age can bring.”

AgeMatch brings home a big zero when it comes to showing the last online status. Sure, it says you can see it once you’ve paid for a membership, but how can you tell if a membership is worth paying for if you can’t tell how many members have logged on recently? This is a general warning flag so proceed with caution.

When you’re planning on joining a dating site and you want to spend some time looking around, it’s usually nice if people who have already paid for memberships can contact you without you having to have a membership. AgeMatch is one of many sites that allow this. Members can send unlimited emails and instant messages to non-members. However, make sure you post a picture if you have any hope of taking advantage of the limited free access.

There are other features that come along with paid membership to this site. You will be able to see who is interested in you and also who has viewed your profile. You can browse the list of new members to the site and also access dating advice and safety tips. You can narrow your scope of searches down from a 100-mile radius to 50 miles. The most important feature, which deserves mention again, is the ability to see the last login date/time. It’s hard to determine a site’s worth if you don’t know how often the members in your area are online, but once you plunk down your credit card number, this would be one of the first features I would suggest checking out.

At the time of this review, the site was suffering from a solid popularity score. You’re not going to get the same amount of members here that you would get on a more mainstream site. What you will get is more people open to the possibilities that love and age can bring. The price is about average at $19.95 a month. All in all, it’s not a bad site to take a look at but watch the last online status. If you’re at all wary of whether or not AgeMatch.com has a lot of active members in your area, we would suggest moving on to a site that does show you when each member last logged in. Time and money are valuable and we wouldn’t recommend rolling the dice if you can’t afford to lose the membership fee.

Things I noticed immediately about the site: Operators do not seem concerned about content or maintenance. It bills itself as ‘inter-generational dating’ but does not adhere to that concept. Of 126 profiles returned during a search, 82% (104) of them were ‘in search of’ someone within five years of their own age. Not exactly inter-generational. 92 emails sent – 8 responses - all bogus.

I was shocked at how old some of the posts were, in the forums. I m talking 2003! I have not paid for membership yet, but I have a strong suspicion that I may not.

Of all the sites I have tried, it has been the best!

I think it is terrific. I have actually met more people and gone on more dates as a result of joining here than any other site!!!
