On this dating network, every member is manually reviewed by the site owner. The manual check is cumbersome and time consuming, but definitely worth the effort according to existing members. This dating site, based on Alexa and Quantcast data, can easily have more than a hundred profiles every day, but many of them are eliminated based on common mistakes omitted by scammers and easily caught by the site owner. The owner says, "I truly don't care about quantity. What I am concerned with is quality and the safety of my existing members."

In addition to the manual approval process, existing members on the network, can vote other member's 'reliability'. If they have talked to the person, they can vote for them, which would confirm that the person in question is in fact a real person and has true intentions.

As an added benefit, members can now link their profiles to their existing Skype profile and communicate on the site without even being logged in.

Online dating and social networking are popular these days, but there are obvious risks when communicating with individuals in an online environment. Even though you may feel safe and secure with the vibe and connection you have with persons you've met online, there is no guarantee that these people are portraying themselves with complete accuracy. The same holds true for meeting people offline at clubs, parties, shopping centers, and any other setting.
