From Matchmaker.com:
“Matchmaker.com is a premium free online dating and personals service with a history of over twenty years in the field. Once you have joined for free, you will be able to browse all the profiles, and photos on our site. With your free profile you can also use the ‘Show interest’ feature, which sends your profile to the individual you are interested in. If they are a Gold Member, and they decide to send you an email, your free profile will allow you to receive it. You may remain a free member of our service for as long as you choose.”
From ValiantHearts.com:
“Matchmaker.com has a clean, easy-to-use interface, and it’s free to sign up, set up your profile, and browse through the other members. Matchmaker, unlike many other services, will not allow you to browse their profiles until you’ve signed up as a free member. There is, however, a tiny back door that WILL allow you to do some preliminary browsing before you decide to sign up.
At the bottom of the Home page, the words ‘site’ and ‘map’ are actually two separate links. One will allow you to browse by state/province in the U.S. and Canada. The other will let you browse cities all over the world. It ain’t perfect, but it’s something. If this looks promising, go ahead with the FREE signup, and get a better look around.
I wonder where they’ve actually hidden the site map?”
