DreamMates Reviewer's Comments

SingleMe and DreamMates are two websites on same network; both share the exact same design, the same member profiles and the same owner, Vintacom Media Group Inc. The homepages of the two websites are slightly different but both feature an identical tour and the same pages and features throughout. However, the visitor demographics are slightly different. When you join one of Vintacom's Relationship Exchange online dating sites, you'll be entering the pool for all of their dating sites.

Dating Pool Potential:  

DreamMates has a slightly higher ration of men to women, earn less and are older than the visitors to SingleMe and the Relationship Exchange network as a whole. This site gets only 1% of the traffic the top ranked site, Match.com receives each month.

Profiles:  

The profile set-up process is simple and straightforward. Quick to complete with a majority of check the box to indicate activities, sports, entertainment, hobbies and interests. 

Matching/Searching:  

SingleMe uses a shared database that will allow you to search an entire network of online dating sites through the Relationship Exchange Program. Through this affiliate network you can contact members from affilitated online dating sites, but larger dating sites like Match.com offer many more potential dates.

Communication & Additional Services:  

SingleMe offers expressions of interest, email and instant messaging to connect with other members. You may tag profiles as favorites and block members (lock-out) from communicating with you. The photo gallery includes a listing of those who have communicated with you and an easy-to-read graphic indicating the match percentage from zero to one hundred based on your profiles.

Ease of Use:  

DreamMates has a fair design that is simple to navigate, but you can get a little lost if you navigate far from the homepage. Offering members a consistent, quick way to get back to the homepage would be a plus. 

Help & Support:  

DreamMates has a FAQs page to answer basic questions, and they respond to email quickly. 

Summary:  

DreamMates and SingleMe, both part of the Relationship Exchange, offer a standard online dating mechanism with a very limited pool of potential dates. With the options of dating, relationship or intimate encounters further diluting the dating pool, you are quite unlikely to find your dream mate. Try any of the higher ranked online dating sites for better options.
