EligibleGreeks.com asks a number of questions designed to help fill out your profile with enough info, so other members have a well-rounded understanding of you as a person. Sure, questions can be answered randomly, but since they have to be answered one way or another, most profiles will have more accurate details than not. Strong sites are built on quality profiles, so single Greeks have it good on this site.

Search options are limited before upgrading. It seems that when we first visited Eligible Greeks that wasn't the case. Currently, they only offer only the basics until you pay for advanced options. That's unfortunate, as the free searches do not narrow the radius of results to any closer than 150 miles. When you upgrade, you can get to within 20 miles of a given postal or zip code. All of the dropdown menu fields that were mandatory when you signed up to fill also come into play after you pay.

Single Greeks who are just looking to poke around will find that the site falls in line with most standard online dating sites on the Internet, allowing you to send signs of interest and receive email from members without having any costs associated with it. You can also review full profile info, including the last login date, to give you some clue to how active a potential match on EligibleGreeks may be.

Niche dating sites like EligibleGreeks.com face uphill battles when it comes to membership levels. It’s not as easy attracting large numbers of visitors from a smaller group of potential surfers – in this case, finding single Greeks versus finding any eligible person. Unfortunately, according to the latest independently obtained stats on numbers of visits to the site, it seems to have lost ground in its popularity battle in the last year-and-a-half since our first visit.

Counterintuitive to this small decline in traffic is that the price, which was top of the normal range in web personals pricing, has actually increased by about 15 percent. It continues to offer paid instant messaging and free member forums. However, now, costing more than most average sites, Eligible Greeks has lost some of its initial appeal. Yet if your search for other singles online has Greek men and women in mind, this is one of the few choices you have to ensure most other nationalities are weeded out.
