If you have a high quality member score, you will have a certified seal which will give you several advantages (you can share your phone number and email address to other people) and of course which will reassure other members regarding your seriousness and the fact that you are not a fake profile. In addition to that, there are a lot of features you can use. There is a match maker, the possibility to build a list of favorite, the possibility to do video chats and audio chats, forums, instant messaging, personal blogs, profile scrapbook, the possibility to make a friend list and also to send winks (similar to a like). So this website is not just a dating site it is almost like a social network!
Search Functions

Summary
