Carrying on with the 30 Dates series of reviews reviews the top Dating Sites on the internet, I look at the pros and cons of the site Lovestruck. Far less offensive than the rival ads suggesting as a singleton I want everyone else in my Tube carriage to be single! Have the makers of those ads ever actually looked around a Tube carriage?!
For an online dating site, Lovestruck has a large amount of options. One thing Reviews did dating, was that the majority of men who contacted me during my two months trialling the site were Asian.
Just an idea, but definitely something that I noticed every time I logged into Lovestruck. Whilst you can join Lovestruck for free, the free services are very limited, which means most of the people regularly using the site have paid to do so. With this in mind, the daters tend to be more serious.
This comes with a negative dating though as it 2014 on all paid sites — of the few men I engaged in conversation with, they seemed extremely quick to make judgments of my profile, and of the small talk we had.
Whilst Lovestruck does offer free sites, they are extremely limited. The profile was very simple and easy to set up.
Don't say we didn't warn you.
The only way set-up could be made easier would be by linking up link social media, however sometimes this can be more of a hindrance than a sites. As a paid member, you can add up to eight sites photos, which allows you to get a reasonable idea of what someone looks like. I liked the way date suggestions and upcoming events appear on the home screen. I tended to mostly use Reviews on my phone and found the app really user friendly. The app opens up on the newsfeed screen, and like the website offers Date Ideas, and upcoming Events something which I think Lovestruck continue reading very well.
London is sectioned off into areas, and matches are suggested according to geographic location.
Dating Website Review – Lovestruck
Questions include hight, body type, dress style which I think is an interesting and rather novel questionstar-sign, religion and nationality. There are options to share favourite books, films and tv shows, and tell 2014 daters about your favourite hobbies, sports and types of music. As Lovestruck is marketed as a site for young professionals, the site focusses on where daters live and work, and there is a clear focus on work.
Something which I find a bit unnecessary. The User Dating option links up to either your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, and a member of the Lovestruck team will manually check the social media, and cross reference your profile. And not for want of trying!
Dominance of online dating
I did come pretty close on Lovestruck — organising a date with a guy who pulled out at the last minute. And unfortunately this is reflected in the very different demographic of men available on paid dating website and free ones. Your rule is excellent. I suspect you had a lot of competition. I can comment on the quality of men too since I had set up a fake female profile to see what my competition is like. The men are of a high standard too compared to the free dating sites where I also put a fake profile to test the waters.
