Yahoo!
Personals
Yahoo! Personals
is an easy to use online dating service. 
It
stands out among all the other online dating services because Yahoo
is everywhere,
everyone knows the Yahoo brand and trusts it. So they easily trust
Yahoo's dating service, too. Because of Yahoo's popularity their dating
service stands to have huge potential
numbers of users.
Yahoo! Personals is very easy to use. You can sign up and set-up a
free profile. You can your Yahoo e-mail log-in even to browse through
the personals sections looking at the other profiles and bookmarking
the ones you like so that you can check back on them later.
Searches are very easy to do as well. You can specify what exact age
range and what exact distance you want them to be from your home zip
code. You can also search with any of the characteristics of the profile.
Only want a non-smoker, then choose that. It's that simple. And once
you have defined your search for your "Dream Boat" you can save the
search as that. Then next time you log-in, you can click on "Search"
and click on the one you've named "Dream Boat" and it does that exact
same search for you again. (You can also search by keywords or the
profile name.)
Want to know what kind of personality the profile you are looking
at has? Well, if they have taken the "Personality and Love Style Test"
you can read what type of person the profile is really about, beyond
the words they have chosen to describe themselves with. It's a great
tool, you ought to fill the personality test out, just to learn a few
extra things about yourself. And, as a bonus, those who are looking
at profiles will know that the others who've filled out the personality
and love style test must really be serious! It's an easy little test,
go ahead, try it! (It doesn't hurt!)
For the first time signer-up, or just want to see what all Yahoo! Personals offers,
there is a free online tour with sound and pictures. It tells you about
how the service works, and the difference between
Yahoo! Personals and Yahoo! Personals Premier.
There is a great section that contains valuable advice and tips about
online dating and relationships in general as well as a Question &
Answer section. This is not to be missed.
When you save someone as a saved profile, you'll be given automatic
"similar" profiles that you may not have found on your own - a nice
little help.
Search results can, if you want, be automatically e-mailed to you
up to three times a week, allowing you to keep your eye on who's out
there in your chosen "search" without having to log back in several
times
a week. This can be a little overwhelming at times, but you can always
delete the e-mails! There is also a really nice personals newsletter
they can send you if you are interested. Very helpful tool.
Want to hear your date? Yahoo! Personals lets even the free members
leave voice and video greetings that lets you hear, as well as see,
who you are looking at if they have a recorded greeting posted!
If you already use Yahoo Messenger, then you can add their personals
environment right onto your messenger. How about that?
Yahoo is an international site, and that is no different with Yahoo!
Personals which has services in Canada, UK & Ireland, France,
Germany, Australia & New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Brazil,
and US in Spanish.
And lastly, whenever you login to Yahoo! Personals, the home page
contains a box called "Lucky Spin" which somewhat randomly chooses
a member they feel you might like. Don't think so? Then click the "Spin
Again" button and see what happens -- you never know!
