Review of MatchMaker.com:

Matchmaker.com claims to take its contribution to the world of online dating websites rather seriously, claiming that their services are for individuals interested in long-term relationships. They are owned and operated by Date.com, but the websites are rather different and, unless you were told, you wouldn't really know these two were in cahoots.

For the marriage-minded individual, Matchmaker.com is a great site due not only to its serious membership base, but also its easy to use interface and stiff security measures which quickly dispose of any scammers on the site.

The signup process is fairly easy and you won't be denied membership like with other sites. You can also operate your profile much like a social networking site, complete with a toolbar, various photo and interest options, etc; and you'll also receive links to swarms of dating material like online magazines.

Current Special Offers:

We found two different special offers for Matchmaker.com. One is a 10-day trial period (from last year, but it is rumored to still work) and the other is a 3-day Gold level subscription.
