Web Dating Site Review: Club Intimate

I found Club Intimate today after receiving an email with a link to the new site. And it is most definitely new.

A quick search found ONE person in Canada, whose profile consisted of, "You know you want me". How disappointing, considering the plug for the site offered so many, interesting, FREE options:

• Option to join one, two or all six of the different sections (Activity Partner, Dating, Friendship, Relationship were what I chose when I signed up, but there were also options for Intimate Encounter and ... um... something else I can't seem to find right now)
• See who has viewed my profile (I love voyeuring options!);
• Talk to other online daters anonymously using Skype (a feature I haven't seen before on any free web site dating services);
• Blogging;
• Forums to discuss anything under the sun; and
• A matching mechanism (mine shows Mr. You Know You Want Me - surprise!)

Interestingly, even though there are few people signed up (and those that are are a bit suspicious looking), the options for what I was looking for were long, varied and a bit time consuming. Still, it was neat to see my home town and other, very small communities listed in the area drop-down lists.

I love the idea of this site, even if the layout isn't terribly exciting or new. Still, they'll need to attract thousands more users to be of any use - so this is a "WAIT AND SEE" free dating site for me.

I will definitely check back in a couple of months to see what's happened since.
