Indian singles looking to access the Friend Finder network of sites have their very own portal. IndianFriendFinder.com is just one of many niche offerings from this company. This dating site has much to offer experienced users but may not be a good play for those new to the online singles scene. Here’s what we found during our time on this site…

Indian Friend Finder has good-quality profiles overall but you can’t view full details without paying first. You can run searches and see partial information in the results before upgrading. Other sites are more generous before you upgrade as far as helping you judge membership compatibility. For newcomers to online dating, a first time experience might be easier elsewhere.

“IndianFriendFinder.com seems to have many active members”

Objective measures of membership levels are hard to determine from a simple site visit. We use an independent site popularity ranking system to determine our scores. The numbers show that IndianFriendFinder.com seems to have many active members. One might not trust the authenticity of every profile, but traffic figures confirm its genuine popularity.

One worthwhile feature is that Indian Friend Finder shows a user's last login date. When looking to connect with someone, that individual needs to be coming frequenting the site regularly to facilitate a connection. Beyond this, IndianFriendFinder makes us grit our teeth when it comes to search options.

Free users just don’t have enough search options available to them to make accurate assessments of the feasibility of matches from their local area. Distance-determined options are only available to paying members. What good are results clear across a state or even a country? They do allow searches by zip code but even this is a little archaic.

Silver members can select smaller search radiuses, but only gold members are further able to limit results by such basic factors as appearance and personal habits. That hardly seems competitive compared to the general online dating market. Perhaps the largest advantage to gold membership is the keyword searches offered.

Customization is what makes niche-dating sites like this one beautiful. Indian Friend Finder has done more than simply tacking on a specific-sounding name onto a generic network site. A number of options speak specifically to Indian culture, such as sorting by dialect spoken and caste. That's something you won't find many other places.

Indian Friend Finder just isn’t a user-friendly experience unless you’re willing to try a month membership off the top. It's $19.99 for a silver membership to start but that rolls over to $17.99 for any months that follow. Indian singles may fall in love on this Friend Finder site, but this isn’t a typical dating experience. There is value here, though. It just might be hard to see it from the surface.
