Friend Finder

Friend Finder represents the expansion of Passion.com, the worlds largest adult dating website, into "normal" online dating. That means you will find few - if anyone - seeking adult dating, as there is a much larger alternative for them to go to. For most of us that is a good thing.

Friend Finder is an online community as much as it is an online dating website - it's kind of like mySpace. You can have your pictures made available to be rated, and of course rate other people. Your pictures are also allowed to be BIG, 4MB in fact, and you can upload 5 of them. Blogs, video and voice introductions are also allowed.

The chat here is active in some areas, such as Australia, and you can find some "regulars" frequenting the rooms. Another cool feature is the 'Friend Network', which allows you to create a social network through your friends, their friends, and so on - also other members who you've just met through the site. These 'communities within a community' give most people more comfort in who they are meeting.

Unfortunately you have to jump in and pay the monthly upgrade fee if you really want to get a good feel for Friend Finder. Free members are very limited here, and those limitations are increased as time passes. This 'take the plunge' atmosphere means most people that do are looking for something a bit more serious, or are seriously into casual dating!

If you are looking for an online community to find your date, and you don't mind paying a bit more than the industry average, check out Friend Finder.

How it Works:
You can create a profile and upload photos for free. Your profile goes into the database and you can be found on search, and contacted, whether you've upgraded or not. After you have read about 10 profiles, your ability to do so is cut off.

Upgrading allows you to have full access to the Friend Finder. You pay monthly and there are several levels of upgrades.
