LavaLife Review

Site Summary:
American Singles provides a community where general dating interests can be entertained. However, unless you’re willing to fork over the cash, you’re left to feel like you’re stumbling around in the dark with their limited free access. Before you jump in and join, read this review.


Positive Features
  • Can setup more then 1 profile is 3 areas, Casual Dating, A Relationship and Intimate Encounters .
  • Ability to send Smiles (like flirts) and reply to mail for FREE!
  • Shows in search results when the member last changed their profile and when they where last online.  This is great to weed out the members who may not visit the dating site anymore.  Too many sites hide this information and show you profiles that haven't been active in years.

Negative Features

  • Need to allow members the ability to view who has them on a hotlist.
  • Should only allow members to communicate in areas they have a profile (Casual Dating, A Relationship or Intimate Encounters).  Members looking for a relationship most likely don't want an intimate encounter if they have not filled out that profile.
