MenNation.com - the New No. 1 Gay Dating Site

MenNation.com
Since re-reviewing and updating our list of gay dating websites on No1Reviews.com (see our last blog post) we've discovered MenNation.com, a relatively new offering from the FriendFinder network of dating sites.

MenNation.com uses a subset of the enormous AdultFriendFinder members' database, so you not only gain access to all the guys that have signed up through MenNation.com, but also all the guys who've signed up to AdultFriendFinder who's profiles state that they are looking for other guys. This means that the number of available gay and bisexual guys on MenNation.com is one of the largest out there, making it great value for money and giving you a great chance at scoring a man-on-man hookup in your local area.

Added to this are a fantastic set of features, which include gay chatrooms, gay groups, blogs, live video chat, live member webcams, instant chat and of course a built-in email tool. There is even a facebook-style community area where you can post your photographs and keep up-to-date with the status updates of all your gay friends if you wish.

No1Reviews.com is pleased to award MenNation our No. 1 Choice Award in our gay dating category. Like most gay dating sites, it's free to join, so why not give it a shot? Check out our full review of MenNation on No1Reviews.com and follow our links to access the site for yourself!

Gay Dating Reviews 2010

Gay Dating Websites
Over at No1Reviews.com we've now updated and expanded our list of gay dating websites. Our gay dating review category now contains 32 gay dating sites, including the latest releases such as ManJam, JustGuys.net and ManD8.com, as well as long-standing big players like OutPersonals, Gay FriendFinder and Gay.com.

Surprisingly, the gay dating arena has relatively few big players compared to other dating niches, even though it's probably one of the largest dating niches (in terms of members) of any of the dating niches that we've explored at No1Reviews.com. This means that most of the gay dating community is spread between a relatively small number of large gay dating sites, such as Gay.com and Out Personals.

Unsurprisingly perhaps, with this type of niche, you'll find that most of the gay dating websites in the market cater for gay men looking for no-strings attached sex! At one time, we were going to split this category into two, with reviews of gay dating sites specializing in sex-dates and those specializing in longer-term relationships. However, having reviewed the market thoroughly, there really weren't enough non-sex gay dating sites to warrant a category of their own! Shocking! Or perhaps not so shocking! We're not really sure. If you are looking for something a bit more meaningful than just one-night stands and casual sex, then there are a handful of gay dating websites that do specialize in this - we suggest you check out Gay Friend Finder (part of the FriendFinder network of sites), Gay.Date.com (part of the Date.com network of sites) or Compatible Partners (part of the eHarmony network of sites). If you're looking for sex, then just try any of the others, like our No. 1 choice in this category, OutPersonals, which is also from the FriendFinder network of sites.

The gay dating site CompatiblePartners.net deserves a special mention here, mainly because it's the only gay dating matchmaking site that we could find online. With Compatible Partners, your matches are chosen for you based on lengthy personality tests that you're required to undertake when you sign-up - just like on its parent site eHarmony.com. The idea here is that your matches will be highly compatible with you from the outset, cutting down on the time it takes you to find your perfect partner. However, if this is something that interests you, then you should also check out our Matchmaking Website Reviews on No1Reviews.com, which include Match Affinity, Chemistry.com and PerfectMatch.com, all of which cater for heterosexual AND homosexual couples. eHarmony.com, by contrast (and for some strange reason) only caters for heterosexual couples, and have palmed the gay community off to their sister site Compatible Partners instead. Don't ask us why!

For more information on gay dating websites, including our top 10 list, in-depth editor's reviews, features listings, pricing comparisons, user reviews and our gay dating buying guide, check out our Gay Dating Reviews on No1Reviews.com. Happy hunting!

Sex Dating Website Reviews

Sex Dating Website Reviews
Check out our brand new sex dating reviews website at Sex-Dating-Reviews.com. These reviews are brand new and exclusive and cover almost 100 of the most popular sex dating websites online.

Sex dating websites provide a place for open-minded, sexually-adventurous adults to flirt, exchange pictures and videos, email one another, video chat and (if they desire) meet-up. Sign-up and create a profile like you would on any of the many mainstream dating websites, but once inside you'll discover the photos and videos that members post of themselves are very different to anything you're likely to find on Match.com! Members post pictures of themselves in the nude, involved in sex-play with their partners, dressed up in latex - you name it! But be warned - some of these pictures are very graphic! Did we mention the videos? Some of the member videos really have to be seen to be believed!

Unsurprisingly, after reviewing almost 100 sex dating sites, our review writer decided to give 5-stars and our top-spot to Adult FriendFinder, the largest of all the sex dating sites with over 30 million members. Second place was awarded to Passion.com, Adult FriendFinder's sister site which is powered by the same database of members. Third place went to GetItOn.com, the latest offering from the FriendFinder team (but which has a completely different database of members). Fourth place was awarded to the ubiquitous Fling.com, another massive sex dating site with banner ads all over the net! The rest of our top 10 comprises SexSearch (another very popular site), HornyMatches, AmateurMatch, XXXBlackbook, BeNaughty and the site that specialises in marital affairs, AshleyMadison.

Check out our pricing comparisons, extensive features lists and in-depth editor's reviews for yourself at Sex Dating Reviews.

Foreign Brides Sites Reviews

Mail Order Brides
Whether you call them Foreign Brides Sites or Mail Order Brides Sites, these sites offer eligible bachelors from rich Western countries like the US and the UK the chance to meet beautiful, intelligent and loyal wives from Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet countries. Meanwhile, the women from these countries get a shot at a better way of life in a new country with a caring and devoted husband by their side.

Many people on both sides of this equation who are tired of the bar scene and who are looking for a serious relationship turn to foreign brides sites to help them find happiness, but with so many foreign brides sites online, where do you start?

Matchmaking Sites Reviews

Match Affinity
Brand new to No1Reviews.com is our category of matchmaking sites. Matchmaking sites differ from traditional dating sites in the sense that they do all the work for you: with traditional dating sites you have to search for your own partner using the search tools available; with matchmaking sites a handful of matches are chosen for you based on extensive personality questionnaires that every member must complete when joining. This means that it is much more likely that your chosen partner will be compatible with you in terms of personality, character and life goals. This can really cut down the amount of time wasted on first dates with incompatible partners.

Matchmaking is a difficult business, and so only the largest and most established dating sites have ventured into this arena, which is why we could only find 5 sites that fit into this category...
  1. Match Affinity (pictured above, a sister site of the hugely popular dating site Match.com)
  2. Chemistry.com (also from the makers of Match.com)
  3. eHarmony.com
  4. Perfect Match
  5. Dating Direct Affinity (sister site of the dating site Dating Direct)
For seasoned singles looking for long-term happiness who are tired of endless first-dates that don't pan out and who have tried and failed with traditional dating sites, matchmaking sites may well be what you've been waiting for. The networks listed above are the largest in the dating industry and have literally millions or even tens of millions of members. Check out our matchmaking site reviews on No1Reviews.com for more information and be sure to check out our Matchmaking Sites Buying Guide for advice on what to look for and what to avoid when choosing a matchmaking site.

Best of luck!

Zoosk Review


Zoosk Review
Zoosk.com is by far the most noteworthy of these new online dating sites. Launched in December 2007, it is the fastest growing social dating network/community, with a jaw-dropping database of 50 million members (A.K.A. 'Zooskers') based in 40 different countries around the world. As we noted in our recent review of Zoosk.com, online dating is a numbers game: the larger (and geographically broader) the database of members on a dating site, the greater your chances of finding someone, in your locale, that appeals to you. So a database of 50 million Zooskers based in 40 different countries around the world is an incredible achievement for a site which is a relative new-comer to the online dating scene. 

A key ingredients in Zoosk's success is the innovative way in which it integrates with social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, and Hi5. In fact, currently, Zoosk is unique in allowing users to connect across multiple networks: a Facebook user can interact with a MySpace or Bebo user. By piggy-backing on these well-established social networks, it has quickly gained a large market share in online dating.

Zoosk.com also offers a virtual gift giving feature; a common idea in the social network domain but relatively uncommon amongst conventional online dating sites. According to Zoosk.com, in 2009, Zooskers exchanged more than 1 million virtual gifts. The revenue generated from this virtual economy must surely have contributed to Zoosk's success. 

Another factor which was central to Zoosk's rapid growth was its ability to raise millions of dollars from investors, much of which was then ploughed into advertizing campaigns to rival those of Match.com, eHarmony.com etc.

Zoosk Mobile is another great feature which allows Zooskers to remain in the loop, even when they're away from their computers. Zoosk.com certainly seems to represent a new breed of online dating site; one that is geared to the world of social networks which we now inhabit. 

Zoosk has an enviable 50:50 ratio between male and female members. At present, 65% are less than 30 years of age; 24% are between the ages of 30 & 39; and 11% are aged 40+. It is impossible to determine whether or not the 50 million Zooskers are as active as the members of other online dating sites such as Match.com, because Zoosk.com does not, currently, provide a facility for seeing when exactly someone was "last online". This is one of the few shortcomings of Zoosk.com, but it is a significant one in our view. It's pointless trying to find your perfect match in a 'ghost' community of people who signed up with Zoosk.com to see what it was all about, but now rarely use it. We're hopeful that this shortcoming can be addressed by the creators of Zoosk.com because it is undoubtedly a site with incredible potential.

Read our full review of Zoosk for more information.

Mainstream Online Dating Reviews - Updated & Extended

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

UK Dating Reviews Updated & Extended

Online dating sites continue to grow in popularity, with new sites emerging all the time. With this in mind,  we revisited our reviews of the best UK Dating Sites on the web to see if there were any notable additions to the field. Since we last surveyed the field, there have been some mergers  and acquisitions, (e.g. Date.co.uk has been taken over by the popular international dating site, Spark.com); there have also been two new additions to the field, MakeFriendsOnline.com and MySingleFriend.com, both of which have stormed into our top ten listings.
 

As you'll see in our MakeFriendsOnline.com review, this site ticks lots of boxes for UK daters. It has a decent membership base in the UK, lots of added value, user-friendly features, and ways of getting the membership involved. For instance, Make Friends Online has a novel feature called Mutual Match which is particularly useful. If two members both show an interest in the other, the site emails both members to let them know that a Mutual Match exists. If only one member shows interest in the other, or if neither shows interest, then there are no email alerts. So it's a useful way of identifying compatibility between members, without anyone feeling like they've been rejected. One of the key selling points of MakeFriendsOnline is that fact that it makes some advanced features available to Standard members. We rated the site highly for facets such as activity/involvement, contact options (especially for Standard members), and the quality of profiles and photos. It would have ranked more highly in our top ten listings if its membership base were larger than 1.5 million. Still, MakeFriendsOnline.com is growing fast, so it may well move up in our rankings on our next update. 



As our review of MySingleFriend.com suggests, this new addition is making waves with its lateral thinking approach to online dating. The site has recognized that we all have a few single friends who are amazing people, with lots to offer a partner, but these friends of ours haven't yet managed to find their perfect match, through no real fault of their own. If you're single, then why not ask a trustworthy friend, who knows you very well, to sign up at MySingleFriend.com and write a testimonial about you (hopefully glowing and preferably witty). It's highly likely that your friend's testimonial will appeal to other single members on My Single Friend and you can take things from there. You may discover some great attributes or talents which you never realised you had or never considered valuable (e.g. your ability to bake delicious cakes, organise fabulous parties or always remember your friends' birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). MySingleFriend.com is definitely something to try out if you're interested in online dating but want to try something a bit different.



Our No. 1 Choice Award was retained by UK.Match.com, the UK's largest dating site, with close to 5 million members based in the UK. The size of its membership base is one of the main factors accounting for its success.  A recent poll of 1,000 former members of UK.Match.com revealed that, "every day the equivalent to one hundred and sixty members leave the site as couples." Those are impressive results. Another important factor which has contributed to the growth of UK.Match.com is the range of powerful search features it offers to its members. As you can see in our review of UK.Match.com, these include novel features such as MatchWords which allows members to add up to 50 searchable keywords with which they can be associated. So if you're after someone with Celtic heritage, for instance, all you need to do is use the MatchWords search feature then view the results for which that word has matches. This is a quick and easy way to find people with specific (and perhaps quirky) characteristics or associations which may not appear in a standard profile. You can save your searches too, making it easy to search for the same features in future. Match.com UK also offer polls, sex tips and other relationship advice to enhance your online dating experience and help you find your perfect match. It is not surprising that they remain in pole position in our UK Dating Sites category. They have achieved a critical mass in terms of membership and have earned a reputation for achieving great results.

Asian Dating Website Reviews

Asia Friend Finder Review
Our No. 1 Choice award went to Asia Friend Finder in our recent reviews of the best Asian Dating websites out there. With a massive database of enthusiastic members,  extensive range of user-friendly features, excellent value for money, and admirable customer support, Asia Friend Finder is streets ahead of its nearest rivals. For example, DateInAsia.com (a popular free site which ranks highly in our top 10 list) does not offer any winks, chat, video, games or funky interactive features. These kinds of things can make getting to know your favorite Asian ladies both fun and fruitful.

A small number of the websites in this Asian Dating category (e.g. AsianGF.com) cater for Western men who want to find sweep a foreign bride off her feet and take her home with them to a better standard of life. This facet could be compared to a "Mail Order Bride" service. If that niche category appeals to you, when we suggest that you check out our reviews of the best mail order / foreign bride websites around before deciding which Asian Dating site would be best for you. 

As of September 30th 2009, there were over 730 million people using the internet in Asia. This represented 42% of internet users worldwide. (Source: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm). Online dating is becoming extremely popular among 18-30 year olds in Asia - especially in countries like India. There has long been a tradition of match-making in many Asian countries, but online dating sites have taken that approach to a whole new level. Not only do online dating sites massively increase the number of potential partners for you to get to know, they can also cut across geographical, social, economic and religious borders (that is, if you wish to bridge these barriers of course). So whether you are an Asian based in Asia, or a non-Asian based in America, Europe, or elsewhere, you are now extremely likely to find someone special on one of these popular Asian Dating websites. Some sites also make it easy for divorcees to find new love online (circumventing social barriers in the off-line world which can make it almost impossible for divorcees to start over with someone else). Never before have so many people had so much potential (for finding a partner), available to them at their fingertips, quite literally.

As you might imagine, the category of online dating does not have clear boundaries: there is often a degree of overlap between mainstream online dating and more specialized dating (e.g. by country, region, religion, sexual orientation, fetishes, body-type, etc). So you might find it useful to look at our top 10 lists in a couple of categories that are likely to be closely associated. (In this case, Asian Dating, Interracial Dating, and Mail Order Bride Sites). You can find a full list of our specialized online dating categories on the homepage of No1Reviews.com. We wish you well in your online dating endeavors!

Anastasia Date Review | AnastasiaDate.com Review

Anastasia Date Review
Finding love on the net these days (just like in the real world) can be tough going. And that's why more and more eligible bachelors from the US, Europe and other Western countries are turning to mail order bride websites like those reviewed on No1Reviews.com. With the number of women in Russia and the CIS countries like the Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova vastly outnumbering the men, and with economic hardships making life in those countries very difficult, more and more beautiful young women from Russia and the Ukraine, etc., are looking to start new lives with kind, caring, eligible men from the West. Western men in turn are turning to Eastern women for their feminine beauty, their traditional values, their renowned loyalty and their desire to start a family and a new life with a caring husband.

At No1Reviews.com, we have detailed reviews of some of the most popular mail order bride services on the web. The term "mail order brides" is itself is misleading and conjures up images of unwilling wives being sent abroad into forced marriages. In reality, however, nothing could be further from the truth. But whether you want to call them mail order brides sites, Russian brides sites or simply lonely hearts dating sites that cross borders, these sites can offer happiness and fulfilment to both Western men who are looking for love and Esatern women who are looking for a better life.

Brand new at the top of our list of mail order bride websites is AnastasiaDate.com (pictured), Anastasia International's new flagship site. Ansatasia Date is a beautifully crafted site filled with youthful beauties from all over Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, as well as far Eastern countries like Thailand and the Philipines. With advanced features like 1-to-1 video dating via your webcam and the ability to view videos of women as well as photographs, Anastasia Date has become the web's most popular mail order bride service in a surprisingly short space of time.

Whether you're an amateur photographer wishing to share your snaps with friends and family or a professional photographer looking to sell your photographs online, you'll find our photo sharing website reviews on No1Reviews.com invaluable in helping you make your choice.

Our expert reviewer has signed-up to 34 of the web's leading photo sharing services and has decided that SmugMug (pictured) is the top choice for the amount of disk space they give you (unlimited), the quality of your pictures, the formats you can upload your pictures in, the viewing options for browsing your uploaded photographs, ease of use, technical support and value for money. With a variety of subscription options to suit everyone from happy-snappers to professional photographers, SmugMug is a beautifully crafted site which will showcase your photographs in a way that will make you want to drool! And not only does SmugMug cater for your photographs, but you can also upload video too, with Pro users being able to upload their videos in Full HD! Very few other sites will let you do this, and that's why SmugMug is not just for photographers, but is highly recommended for amateur and professional videographers too.

Our expert reviewer also decided that Phanfare, Photobucket and the infamous Flickr also deserved 5 stars for their ease of use, disk-space, presentation and value for money. Check out our photo sharing website reviews on No1Reviews.com for more information.

Anti-Virus Software Reviews

There's an old adage: if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail. That's certainly true when it comes to computer viruses.

Anyone who has ever lost valuable computer data knows how heart-breaking it can be: those irreplacable photos of momentous occasions, that PhD research which took years to compile and write up, that screenplay that was destined for greatness, or maybe even those tax returns which you had spent weeks pain-stakingly assembling; all of these files have gone forever because they have been corrupted by malicious software.

We may not know why some peolple create malware (i.e. malicious software like computer viruses, trojan horses, worms, rootkits, spyware, and adware) which infiltrates our computer systems and wreaks havoc with our precious files. But we do know that there are ways to protect ourselves from malware so we have no excuse for failing to arm ourselves against it.

Two very important things you can do to prepare yourself against the inevitable onslaught are (i) installing high quality Anti-Virus Software on your computer and (ii) backing up your computer files regularly, either by transferring them to an external hard-drive or using an online storage system.

In a previous blog, we mentioned that we had added reviews of the best online storage products to No1Reviews.com. Well, we are now pleased to announce that we have just added Anti-Virus Software reviews too, in response to emails from our readers.

We reviewed a large number of anti-virus software (both major and minor players in the market) according to the following criteria:
  • Detection and Removal Capability
  • Update Regularity
  • Features
  • Ease of Use
  • Performance
  • Customer Support
  • Value for Money
Our No1. Choice award went to Norton Anti-Virus 2010 due to its highly effective scanning capabilities, extraordinarily regular updates and full support package. In addition to all this, it is easy to use, has an attractive interface design and has been developed to run as seamlessly as possible alongside your other programs. Therefore, not only is it the most effective anti-virus program on the market, but it is also the most ergonomic.

So if you want to protect your computer system from viruses but don't know which Anti-Virus Software to buy, we think that our expert reviews of Anti-Virus Software is worth a read.

Video Editing Software Reviews

Video editing is no longer the domain of professional videographers. You too can create jaw-dropping movies, with the advent of powerful video editing software that is both affordable and user-friendly.

So if you would like to wow your family and friends with professional-looking movies of special occasions like weddings, new-born babies and college graduations, or perhaps just have some fun putting together humorous movies of your playful pets, check out our reviews of the best video editing software on the market.

We realise that if you're a technical whizz you may be more interested in the special effects included in the video editing software and less interested in its ease of use. Or you may want something with high-end performance, that's right at the cutting edge of video editing technology, supporting blu-ray format. So our video editing software reviews compare the most popular products on criteria such as:
  • Quality And Quantity of Included Effects
  • Performance
  • Ease of Use
  • Value for Money

As you'll see from our reviews, we believe that all good video editing software should provide users with an intuitive interface where they can easily split and combine various sections of video footage, add a variety of special effects and scene transitions, lay down a soundtrack to complement the visuals, insert photographs, and facilitate the creation of menu/chapter systems for quick access to the item of your choice. 

Our No1 Choice Award in our video editing software category went to Magix Movie Edit Pro, an excellent movie editing suite which caters for amateur enthusiasts as well as users who require more professional functionality. It combines an amazing number of features, effects and extra content into one easy to use package which provides you with professional looking results with the minimum of effort.

We were also highly impressed by the Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack, although the DVD/Blu-Ray creation was somewhat challenging, so we thought that it might be more suitable for users with a reasonable degree of technical skills.

Our video editing software reviews show that there are products on the market that suit all levels of ability and all budgets. So if you're interested in doing your own video editing instead of spending a small fortune on a professional videographer, check out our expert reviews of the best video editing software on the internet.

Reviews of Teach Yourself Drums Guides

This category of reviews is for those of you who grew up watching The Muppet Show and longed to be like Animal, the furry and ferocious drummer from the legendary Muppet rock band, Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem!

Or for those of you who have never heard of The Muppet Show and simply have a burning desire to teach yourself how to play the drums, no strings attached so to speak, our reviews of the best teach yourself drums guides should make your quest a good deal easier.  

We have compiled a rank-order list representing the most popular and, in our opinion, the most useful set of resources you can find to learn to play the drums. This comprises drums books, guides, software, DVDs, CDs and of course online tutorials and videos for the technophiles among you.

With the digital products, you can immediately download the software, videos and tutorials or watch them online. Hardcopies of books, CDs and DVDs will be delivered to your door. The best products usually give you a combination of all these formats.

That's why our No. 1 Choice award goes to Learn And Master Drums,  part of the ever-expanding Learn And Master series (which includes Piano, Guitar, Ballroom Dancing, and Painting). Learn and Master Drums is a multimedia course which combines online material with CDs, DVDs, and ebooks. These user-friendly resources will guide you from an absolute beginner through to an accomplished intermediate player.

Our #2 ranking guide, Jojo Mayer: Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer is a good choice if you're looking for a comprehensive DVD on hand technique when drumming. It is considerably cheaper than our #1 rated product, but it doesn't come with music books. So if you opt for Jojo Mayer's DVDs you will have to supplement it with your own music books to try out the different techniques on a real track.

So if you want to learn to play drums in your own time, and are still searching for a guide to suit your learning style and budget, then our reviews of the best Teach Yourself Drums Guides is a great place to start.

In fact, several weight loss programs we have reviewed (eDiets.com, Diet.com, DietWatch.com, JillianMichaels.com, and DeniseAustin.com), are extremely impressive in their own right and also have a proven record of helping millions of people achieve their weight loss goals. So you should have a quick look at our reviews of these other weight loss programs to see if one of these suits you better. For example, if you're a fan of Jillian Michaels' approach on the TV series "The Biggest Loser" you may find that the JillianMichaels.com weight loss program is much more enticing. Surely, it's impossible not to be inspired by Jillian Michaels, whether you're a man or a woman!
