In this article I want to review eHarmony: what I like about the service, what I am not crazy about and some other areas that you should be aware of if you’re considering trying the service.
In this article I’ll be concentrating on reviewing eHarmony as a service and will not get into the nitty-gritty details of how the site works. If you’re interested in this information, I’ve already written an article covering these exact topics: How Does eHarmony Work?

In this review I’ll be discussing PerfectMatch, one of the major online dating services today. I would consider PerfectMatch to be a hybrid online dating service as it combines features of dating services that match you and dating services where you browse through all the singles. But I’ll get into that more later.
I will also be using this review as an introduction to PerfectMatch: I’m going to walk through each step of signing up and using the service while providing [...]

Zoosk is a rapidly growing online dating service that has gained a lot of popularity over the last few years. I hadn’t even realized how popular it had become: as I was preparing to write this article I stumbled upon the fact that Zoosk now has 2 million fans on Facebook. While I’m sure not all of them are still using the service, it still is an indicator of how much Zoosk has grown and how popular it has become.

Chemistry.com is a popular matchmaking-based service in the US. The point of Chemistry.com it is to provide you matches based on personality as opposed to having you browse to through hundreds of profiles and randomly picking the people you feel you will get along best with.
I’m going to break this review down into a few sections: first I will talk about signing up and using the service itself, especially the guided communication. Then I’ll discuss some of the issues users [...]

Often when dating online, you will find yourself on a date with someone you quickly realize you are not compatible with.

MatchAffinity helps address this issue by taking the compatibility of you and your dates into account before you even see each other’s profiles. MatchAffinity incorporates an extensive compatibility questionnaire to determine your interests, values, beliefs and goals and then uses this information to connect [...]

Recently I’ve been writing about how niche dating sites can offer more success than the big dating sites simply because the service has already narrowed down its members to those with the single quality most important to you. Because I’ve been offering this advice, I wanted to review some niche sites and I’m starting with CatholicMatch.com.
Look and Feel
My first impression when visiting the site was the beautiful photography on the site, mostly of churches, weddings or couples together. Many niche [...]

With some extra time over the holiday, I was looking for a new game to play and decided to look into Torchlight. My first impression when researching the game and looking at the screenshots was that it appeared to be a more cartoonish Diablo. Having now played for a few hours, I can say that this impression is correct.
As with my experience with the Diablo series, Torchlight offers a lot of fun with single player dungeon crawling. The first few [...]

I approach “self-help” books with a great deal of skepticism. Half the time, these books seem do little more than point out the obvious. Other times they seem to reveal so much but when the advice is applied to the real-world, we have a rude awakening realizing that the “great” advice isn’t easy to apply or simply doesn’t work. The Five Love Languageshowever, is an exception to these norms and the advice it provides was life changing for me [...]
