RomanticPlanet.com overview, online dating site review

RomanticPlanet.com overview
RomanticPlanet.com
Online Matchmaking and Dating.

RomanticPlanet.com overview:
Romantic Planet's site technology is first-rate.  It has invested a lot of time and resources to create a site that reflects a vision of high end technology combined with a sense of modern aesthetics.  The application of such a concept is difficult and demanding to design into computerized media. RomanticPlanet has achieved  results that are beautiful to the eye.  We appreciate the innovative standard RomanticPlanet has set. The functionality of the site was sligtly less impressive.
We presume that RomanticPlanet's creators staked their approach and reputation on the latest innovation in mainstream dating: personality-based and preference-based compatibility factors. RomanticPlanet.com's approach is information intense, well intended and technically logical.  But, it  puts the new member in a position of filling out fields and checking boxes to a point of overdoing it.   We know from observing  literally hundreds of sites' approaches, that getting members to give enough info for making matching meaningful is difficult to achieve, without members growing weary of that process.  Burdening  a new member with submitting an abundance of  information at the outset seems great in theory but doesn't endear the members to the site.

Features:
  • Create your own profile and upload your pictures
  • Search for other members within your local area
  • Browse other members' profiles and look at their pictures
  • MatchMind: "The brains behind Romantic Planet," MatchMind uses sophisticated artificial intelligence technology to "learn" about members' preferences as they use the service, and continuously adjusts compatibility scores to provide more accurate matches.
  • Permissions: Permissions offers Romantic Planet members greater security by allowing them to control access to their photographs and profiles by other members. Permissions can be set to limit access to specific members, or open access to all members and visitors.
  • Album Notification: Frustrated by seeing profiles without photos. This feature enables you to simply check a box to be notified when a person has created an album.
  • PlanetTalk: Exclusive Instant Messenger. Interact with other members using text, video, or voice.
  • Community Center: Join an existing topic or start your own. Meet people for friendship, activities, romance, encounters, or simply share your experiences, ideas and advice. This is also a great place to give and receive support.
  • Fun, Email Postcards: Lots of cool images to choose from when introducing yourself to someone.
  • Photo Album: Create a photo album with up to four photos with captions.
  • Super Organization: Keeps track of who you've written to, who you're in contact with, who your possibilities are, and who you've decided to pass up.

Performing a Search:
  • A full search facility is available, allowing members to search by:
    • A computerized matching compatibility score generated from member inputs available in the registration process.
    • And  these typical search engine parameters of:
      • gender
      • age range
      • relationship status
      • relationship type
      • location to within 5 miles of where you live
      • education
      • occupation
      • income
      • body type
      • children
      • whether the member has pictures posted
      • religion
      • appearance
      • type of interest
      • ethnicity
      • smoking
      • drinking
      • height

RomanticPlanet.com is a beautifully designed site and brings in many innovative touches. So it's a shame the membership is just not there to support  it. We are an enthusiastic fan of aesthetics mingling with technology. We admire the innovation and creative concepts applied here, but can't give a hearty endorsement of it as a dating site where realistic results are paramount.  It's free and that is a plus.  It can't hurt to join (if you can take the duration of submitting your info.) and see what happens.  Frankly, we perused some profiles and found the members thoughtful and genuine.  (We surmise the process eliminates the faint of heart)
