Mega Friends definitely has a homespun spirit. It’s Canadian, eh? Perhaps that explains why it isn’t as flashy as some sites flying under the stars and stripes are. Canada, a country with fallen vegetation as its flag's centerpiece, seems proud of a down-to-earth sense of design. Although presentation isn't dazzling, you'll have the feeling that genuine folks meet here.

Its members seem serious about meeting someone. Just like the simple site design, they seem less concerned about garnering attention by being all flash and no substance. That isn't always the case on other online dating sites. I know I sound jaded. However, this homely looking little personals page might just prove the cure.

"Now, when it comes to members, I have to say MegaFriends is doing pretty well for itself when you check out its traffic rating."

Now, when it comes to members, I have to say MegaFriends is doing pretty well for itself when you check out its traffic rating. Meanwhile, a glance at the profiles seems to display much higher-quality results than on some other sites. As I said before, it’s not glitz and glamour here. It just seems like you find “real” profiles compared to other places that might have enhanced their membership roles with a few fake model members.

In the typical open and accepting Canadian spirit, everyone is welcome here. Whether they’re gay, straight, bisexual or a couple, they can be a member. There are also American members on the site, of course. You can search for people living outside of North America, too. However, the lion's share of profiles seems to come from Canada.

Getting to know people first is always important in making a successful connection. Mega Friends let’s you use several ways to do just that. Login to chat, video chat, instant message, and email or send a virtual gift to someone. The gifts are really just electronic greeting cards. The graphics are amateurish, like grade school Valentine’s Day cards, but it’s a cute idea and a way of sending a simple message when maybe you know you’re no poet.

I appreciate the ones that tell someone I’m not interested, mostly illustrations of people running away. That’s very subtle and sensitive. There are also forums where you can post advice or read stories from other subscribers. Your profile can include a voice or video introduction. Admittedly, no one so far seems to have taken advantage of adding either.

If you want unlimited access to responding to messages then you need to upgrade. You’ll also gain access to subscriber photo albums. Chat and instant messaging will no longer timeout after 10 minutes either. Free members can also reply to your messages. Canadian subscribers pay 13% tax on subscription fees. Mega Friends is a worthwhile investment. Best of all you can check out free before joining.

I met a few really nice people there, but the only way to make it succcessful is to exchange addresses and talk without using megafriends..

well i ve been a member of this site for 8 years and never met anybody for a date!!! i ve chatted to some really nice people but some people are not nice and megafriends has not done anything to block them off thier site i think paying to chat sux to be honest with you they are only out to make a profit and they should really be reported for breaking thier own rules by letting some people be nasty
