Love Sail Testimonial – Persistance Pays

The Editor — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:19:26 +0000

This piece of feedback was sent to Love Sail recently. It’s an interesting example of how persistance can pay off and how chatting online and sending each other messages is only the beginning:

“Just want to share with all Lovesail ‘wannabees’ that love appears in unexpected ways. I have been in touch with anon on this site for 6mths in friendship and we have chatted a lot on-line. On meeting, we surprised ourselves by finding that we had a great deal more in common than we expected and the man that came to dinner a week ago is still here and may well decide to relocate from abroad to live here. True to Cilla Black, “you might need your hat”! We both agree it seems too good to be true, but as in all fairy stories, there is a happy ending.” – Mummysailor

Love Horse Equestrian Singles & Country Lovers

Back in January of this year I reviewed Love Horse Online Dating and I’m please to see that in the months since the site has not rested on its laurels and continues to offer fresh ideas to its membership of horse and country lovers and those that are attracted to them.

There are some innovative features that enable the online dater to make the best of the site and to make the process of managing the profile and the photos so much easier. For example, where most sites simply ask you to upload a photo the Love Horse upload page in your profile gives you tips on the best photo to pload and includes details of a scanning service, so you can post your precious prints to their head office and they’ll scan and upload them for you. Enclose a stamped address envelope and they’ll return the photos to you. They’ll upload the photos within 48 hours of receiving them – all for free and part of the service!

Photos are of course essential for any online dating profile, but why stop there? Why not add a video clip to your profile? What better way to impress prospective partners that with a video profile. With a little preparation (and should take care to make the best of yourself so fix that hair and dress to impress) you could use your webcam to record a short clip that will have other members flocking to check out your profile.

The site can also send you text alerts to your mobile to keep you informed of new mail and winks from other members, so wherever you are you’ll be notified if anyone has sent you a message or has visited your profile and been impressed enough to send you a wink. You can also use your mobile phone to upload photos direct to your profile, so if you’ve something you cannot wait to share with your Love Horse friends there’s no reason to delay the upload.

There’s an imaginative collection of virtual gifts you can send to other members. They may be only virtual flowers and other presents but it’s amazing what results you can generate from such a gesture!

And while your browsing profiles don’t forget to make use of the ‘email this profile to a friend’ link. Why not play Cupid and bring some love into someone’s else life by bringing them to the attention of your single friends.

Love Sail has been afloat since 2004 and has recently been given a complete makeover. The new site software is far better than the Boonex platform on which it had been running for a couple of years. The site now has a fresh, modern look about it that is renewing the interest of current members and attracting new registrations. There are all the usual things you would expect of a site like this (messaging, instant messaging, chat rooms, forums etc) but the site has been tailored to suit its niche audience. The Events Calendar for example include event listings from all over the world. These might be sailing regattas, yacht races, SCUBA and snorkelling events, marine art exhibitions, power boat races, etc. There’s also a growing FAQ page which helps members get to grips with the new site. Love Sail will appeal to single sailors, SCUBA divers, surfers, swimmers, boating enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys any kind of watersports. All together the Love Sail site is now more stable, secure and fun to use.

Military Love Match

Lots of people love a man or woman in uniform, and if you’re a member of the armed services, or if you’re attracted to such people, then this is the site for you. No one can understand the demands of a military life like a fellow member of the armed services so if that’s you then try this site first. As well as standard messaging there’s also online chat, military forums, blogs, videos, and daily military news. The military life is particularly demanding and it requires a special type of commitment to ensure that relationships last. This site contains members who know both their needs and wants. Once you’ve registered you can start creating your very own ‘circle of friends’ and invite others to join the site. In this way you might be able to encourage people you already know to join the site and thereby build a network of trusted friends on the site. This will make the experience more akin to a social network as well as an online dating website.
