What is Yahoo Personals?

Yahoo Personals is Yahoos version of a dating site. Yahoo Personals has been around since the early 90’s, ranking it at one of the oldest dating services available on the web.

 Yahoo Personals previously was at a free to join basis, but now due to the popular demand of quality dating services within the internet, Yahoo Personals set a price, which isn’t really that high.

 Here is some key points people should know about when considering Yahoo Personals:

  • Yahoo Personals has a very simple layout and completing your profile takes minutes, very fast and convenient for the average busy person.
  • There is a option to not display search options that are not really needed, and searching couldn’t be easier because you can save your search results. The advantage of saving your searches is mostly to see any new people that came in to your profile standards, also to find previous matches you desired to talk to.
  • Yahoo Personals is a very popular dating service, especially for Northern America, but is a worldwide service available to anyone in any region. Yahoo Personals is also available for people looking for others of the same gender, which isn’t a available option in all dating sites.
  • The prices are actually better than most dating sites, and you can order in 1, 3, or 12 month packages. Prices may vary depending on how many months you purchase at once. You can purchase the membership in US dollars, or Canadian dollars.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

For customizing a search, how specific can I get?

When you are making a search, there is a lot you can customize. You can specify your search in many ways, whether it is by age, area that the person lives in, interests, height, family, or many other random categories, you can find your exact twin on Yahoo Personals.

Yahoo doesn’t seem like the ideal place to find a romantic relationship at, do you suggest Yahoo Personals for a long term relationship finder?

Most dating sites end you up with a date or two here and there and a lot of internet friends, but Yahoo Personals actual is a better source at finding a long term relationship.

Are you saying that Yahoo Personals is not good to find someone for a intimate encounter?

I am not saying that, but Yahoo Personals is not the type of site that is for intimate encounters, although relationships grow off of casual dating and friendships, I believe that Yahoo Personals is the place for more serious daters, or someone looking for a friend that they can talk to about everything in their life to go.

All facts aside, if you could recommend me a better site for intimate encounters, what would it be?

Personally, I would say that if you are not dedicated to having casual dates, or a long term friendship/relationship, this is not the place for you. There is a lot of places that focuses on getting you casual intimate encounters, which I personally would suggest Lavalife to be the best one for that factor of dating services. Yahoo Personals has a more relationship-oriented focus.

Can you name one extra nice feature that you personally like about Yahoo Personals?

I would have to say that if there was one other feature that I did not mention about Yahoo Personals, it would have to be the attributes option. You can make it so you either select:

-Must have
-Would like to have
-Doesn’t matter

Which is so you can focus on the people that actually have the attributes you wish in a relationship, and not someone that will waste your time.

SIDE NOTES:

I don’t really have much to add to this review, because there is not much to say about Yahoo Personals. It is normally a case of you like it or you don’t. Most Yahoo members will tend to use Yahoo Personal over other dating services because they enjoy the services Yahoo provides.

If I signed up for a dating site today, this would not be my first choice unless I seriously was looking for a long-term relationship, and that is what this dating site focuses on.

So, if you would like to find your soul mate, don't wait! Join Yahoo Personals
