What a Single Parents Mingle Membership Includes

A free membership doesn't allow a lot of exploration, although you can sign up, create a profile, upload photos, view other users' photos, read the message boards and search for other members.

A paid membership offers robust and expansive features such as:

• A social networking aspect where you can bookmark friends;
• Instant messaging indicators to your mobile phone to let you know you've got mail;
• The ability to hide or block profiles;
• A full-featured host of standard options, with a variety of different searching options, chat, instant messaging, message boards, email, photo galleries, and compatibility matching.

Unique Features

The sign up process is quick and straightforward, although strangely you are required to provide a full first and last name in order to get a free membership. I've never been asked this before on any other dating site, so I was a bit put off by this request. (I recommend using a fake name). Some basic questions and answer choices were also a bit off-putting; someone who would designate "curvy" or "a few extra pounds" on most other dating sites is only offered the option: "I should maybe lose a few".

With a paid membership, Single Parents Mingle allows you to play with the layout, color scheme and various matching mechanisms to make your online dating experience a truly personalized one.

As well, they offer a unique color code compatibility matching feature, which is free for all users.

Membership Costs

A one month's membership costs $19.99 USD. Three months is valued at $39.99, and six months at $59.99. Fees are payable by check, credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover) and PayPal.
