C-Date : Adult Dating Site Review
Overview:
C-date has been around since 2008, but much more important is the very distinct approach that it takes to sex dating. This isn't just another adult dating site, with all of the usual features. It's a site that has been conceived differently from the ground up, to suit the casual dating needs of higher-achieving individuals, who are therefore more selective in their personal relationships. The site claims that 80% of its members are "professionally independent or in a leading position."
Features:
Don't log on here in search of the conventional online adult dating features, particularly as many of these aren't accessible until you sign up for one of the paid subscriptions. The whole concept of the site revolves around what are known as 'contact proposals', whereby an algorithm picks out those profiles that best match your own criteria, before the site sends you a message with information about that member. If the user interests you, you may then send them a message. Other features - accessible to paying members - include an erotic photo gallery.
Chances of finding a discreet partner:
The contact proposals system that the site is based around - along with the aforementioned algorithm that powers it - means that you can expect much better-targeted dates than would ever be the case on the more conventional hookup sites. Your chances are further boosted by a minimum contact guarantee. Those signing up for three months, for instance, can expect no less than five contact proposals.
Safety:
The more enclosed nature of C-date naturally makes its members feel safer. For example, for any photo that you upload, the default setting is that no one can view it. You can also have confidence in the security of your data at C-date - your profile data is always kept anonymous when it is transferred to other members, while SSL encoding further ensures only the highest standard of data protection.
Value for money:
It doesn't cost you anything to become a member of the site, but only Premium Members can write unlimited messages, see profiles in full or save the matches that most interest them on their favorites list, so it obviously makes sense to upgrade. You can commit for three months at $15.90 per month, six months at $12.90 per month or 12 months at $9.90 per month. Choosing any one of these unlocks a host of perks, including the ability to keep contacts and messages, read and send messages and view the complete erotic gallery.
Ease of use:
C-date might take a little getting used to for those who have only previously used more conventional adult dating sites, but it is by no means a difficult site to navigate. The overall design and look of the site is very clean and logical, with plenty of bare space. Where other sites try to squeeze erotic personals into every corner of the screen, C-date keeps things classy, which makes all the difference to the user experience.
The search:
This is one of the aspects in which C-date departs most from the usual formula for dating sites of this type. The search section here doesn't generate a list of immediate results, but instead takes the form of a 'Search Criteria' page, found under the My Profile tab. This page asks what kind of person you're looking for, with various parameters that you can select and save so that the contact proposals that the site generates are as relevant as they can be. These parameters relate to appearance, sexual preferences and various other things that matter in a hookup.
