We like: You can see full profiles with a free account (some dating sites only let you see a partial profile if you don’t pay).

There are a variety of ways to pay. We particularly like that they accept Paypal.

The site administrators monitor for profanity and will block inappropriate messages, and watch for possible scammers, or even for those who don’t seem serious about finding a relationship.

This site offers cyber-dating safety tips, and appear to take their clients’ privacy and online safety seriously.

If you don’t fill in your profile straight away when you sign up, there’s a cute/funny multiple choice questionnaire to fill in when you next log in. And it won’t let you go any further until you do. So at least there’s something on your profile. Even if you’re just signing up to review the site…

We don’t like: It’s hard to tell exactly what you get with a free/guest membership or how long it’s good for unless you read the terms of service when you first sign up (or read this review!). We didn’t, and then spent a fruitless half hour searching the main site, before doubling back and actually reading the bit they tell you to. It pays to follow instructions on occasion.

This wasn’t really Prime Singles’ fault, but it was annoying, so maybe they could list full Free and Paid membership benefits more prominently on the main site.
