Review
LavaLife is an okay site — if you are in your 20s or early 30s. You won’t find a very dense field of 40-somethings to choose from.
Pros: It can be very inexpensive to date on this site. You get to keep your profile live and pay as you go per email you wish to send out. Or you can purchase one of the premium packages with unlimited emails.
Cons: There are some deceitful practices, especially in the early days when they are trying to lure you to pay for a member package. For example, this is pretty weird:
I checked my email one day and saw that I had four “smiles” (some sites call them “winks”). I clicked and was amazed to see my friend John was one of them. So, I smiled back (smiles are free). Later that week when I ran into John he commented on my smiling at him. I said, well, you smiled first. But, you see, he didn’t! LavaLife must send out random “smiles”.
John and I were both pretty freaked out about that.
Other cons include a fairly clunky Instant Messenger and irregular email notices when you have messages.
Testimonial
We started chatting two years ago. We began to talk offline, soon realizing we were from the same county. Amazingly I only lived 15 miles from where we now live together. If it wasn’t for Lavalife we wouldn’t have met. And now we are happily in love.
