Lavalife Dating Site Review

About.com Rating fourhalf out of Five

By Bonny Albo, About.com

With more than five million members and well over a million messages exchanged every day, Lavalife is a well-rounded dating site with many options for singles of all sexual orientations.

Overview from the Lavalife Dating Site

"Lavalife is a new brand...a new community...a new world...a new vision for single life. Lavalife is solely dedicated to enhancing the lives of singles."

What a Lavalife Membership Includes

Lavalife was one of the first sites that offered the ability to add an account in one, two or all three of their different sections: Dating, Relationships and Intimate Encounters. Lavalife members can even choose different profiles, pictures and handles in each of the sections, guaranteeing anonymity if required.

Smiles can be sent for free at Lavalife, and replying to a paying users message, chat request or voice message is also free - although initiating contact does require a paid Lavalife membership.

Depending on which section(s) the user signs up for will determine what questions need to be answered for a profile to be available to other Lavalife members. The sign up process is quick (less than fifteen minutes if you already have a profile written), and many of the questions are related to basic demographics or in multiple choice format.

Unique Features of Lavalife Dating

Lavalife has an extremely large member base internationally. Because of its scope it may seem challenging to weed through the variety of Lavalife users, but the many ways with which to search, browse and review profiles is extremely helpful in this matter. Lavalife's search options include checking to see who is online locally, a list of the newest profiles generally or in your area, and limiting results to profiles matching any of the demographic or relationship type requirements.

There are also a wider number of ways to contact users at Lavalife, including chat/instant messaging, email, smiles, sharing of private photo galleries, video greetings and phone calls made through the site.

Lavalife Membership Costs

A one month Lavalife membership costs $39.99 USD, and three months is $56.97 USD or $18.99 a month.

Lavalife fees are payable in both Canadian and American dollars, using a credit card for immediate access or mailing in a check or money order.
