Personals.com.au is a totally Australian focused online dating site. It is a network of partner sites that shares a common database of personal profiles. All new profiles, photos and subsequent changes are checked by moderators to keep a good standard of service and maintain a level of safety and comfort for genuine users. Non-Australians are blocked from joining which means that you don’t have to sift through international members and your fellow profiles are localized.
Sexual Orientation: Personals.com.au offers searching features for heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual males and females.
Fees: Joining Personals.com.au is totally free and you get access to full member features. You can contact profiles you like either by sending an email message or sms message. This requires the purchase of stamps or sms tokens. The stamps are bought in bulk and range in price from $30/9 stamps to $60/25 stamps. The other option is to get a monthly subscription and choose either unlimited contact or a fixed number of stamps or sms tokens.
Photos: Users can add upto three personal photos. These photos are screened by moderators before they are added to the network. Users don’t have to submit a photo but it is recommended as these people are more likely to get responses from fellow users.
Profile Information: The profile information is standard and comprehensive for an online dating site. Members add their location, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical features, family situation, professional information, personal statistics, habits and interests. The profiles are largely tick box style answers so you don’t have to worry about the writers block of filling out a describe yourself style black box.
Searching Options: You can search for a specific profile using any maximum number of parameters which are included in the profile information you use to set up an account. By doing a ‘just the basics’ search you can perform a quicker broader search of the profile database. You can also search for a member by their member name.You can also delete members from your inbox and block anyone from contacting you.
Extra Features: The sms tokens let you send an sms flirt message to any member. Of course they need to have a registered sms mobile number submitted with their profile. The first sms you send to a specific member costs 10 tokens and subsequent messages cost 3 tokens each. Like the messaging and emailing contact service, members can block other members from sending them sms messages. Other than the sms flirt function, Personals.com.au is a relatively straight forward and featureless online dating database. It serves the purpose and doesn’t overcomplicate the online dating scene with calendars and added extras.
