Horny Matches Review

Horny Matches seems to be a very popular site. It certainly gets some rather heavy traffic. I suppose I can’t try to debate the veracity of its visitor stats. We get those from an independent traffic-ranking site. However, when I signed up, I was still surprised to see that there were at well over 100,000 members online at that exact time.

Before you begin your profile it tells you some things straightaway. First, definitely counting in its favor, all member descriptions are manually verified. It’s done by human hands somewhere. Secondly, it makes no guarantee regarding your dating success, nor does it even attest to the authenticity of its member profiles. The last part sounds a lot as if they’re covering their asses. At least the site is honest and direct about it.

“…what does come free, at least in the beginning, are extensive search and browsing options.”

It may sound paranoid. However, if I find the popularity of Horny Match suspect, it’s only because it’s such a simple site. There is only one method of contact: email and it’s limited to paying members. Free members can send a wink to a premium subscriber in hopes of receiving a reply with offsite contact info. However, there are no chat rooms. There isn’t even instant messaging.

You also need to pay to display your hot list. Nevertheless, what does come free, at least in the beginning, are extensive search and browsing options. These are supposedly restricted at some point. However, I’m not sure what the limit is. There is no separate page for a basic search and no grayed-out premium search sections. Therefore, as I explain later on in my conclusion, it is unclear what happens if you don’t upgrade.

A local search can only be narrowed down to 30 miles. However, last login details and complete profile information are searchable. You can search them using a series of checkboxes or a keyword feature. You also have an online matchmaking option called Cupid. It has similarly detailed options to make your results more accurate. There is an email version that sends varying numbers of matches to you depending on your membership level.

One thing that I found unclear was what the benefits are to signing up to the highest level of membership, but I know that your profile appears first in search results. When I read the access grid for the various features of the site, many of the premium options, such as detailed searches, work free for me. Maybe, as is marked beside viewing profiles, the feature comes with restrictions. No maximum limits are listed, though. When the premium services will stop working without paying is unclear.

Horny Matches seems expensive and has so few contact options. However, it does seem to have an unbelievably active membership base.
