It is frustrating when one can not get the actual use of this dating site
as Standard member until the membership is updated to the higher levels.
All members join as
free standard members, but it is possible to upgrade to paid membership to access the premium features of the site.
While premium membership might be essential to access some of the advanced features, these sites
allow standard members to make the most of the basic feature set.
If you are serious about what you're looking for, upgrading your membership is advised as there is very little for
standard members on this website.
You can also rank yourself higher than
Standard members in search results and include your birthday and e-mail address information, thus your communication is not limited by the site only.
The difference is that premium members are not limited in posting questions, referral opportunities and the like,
while standard members are limited.
There are a lot of other features
which standard member can access in order to get a better shot at dating.
It is important to note that premium members have many more filters to use during their search than
standard members do.
Although premium members enjoy some extra features
over standard members, you can still register a profile and use basic features for free.
However, the Private album option is only available to Gold members,
whereas Standard members are allowed to send a private request.
