UK Singles Connection Review

UK Singles Connection is one of the numerous dating websites which cater to relationship needs of singles from the British Isles. The site offers its users several browsing, communication and matchmaking tools in order to help them make that special connection.

UK Singles Connection, as is evident from the name, is open to all men and women from United Kingdom who are single and looking to meet partners for dating, romance or simply friendship. Here members from a wide range of religions, ethnicities and cultures can be found eager to meet and interact with others. In fact users from international locations are also free to join provided they share an interest in the land, culture and people of UK. The website has no information on the number of its registered member, only that it has “over 1000 successes”. UK Singles Connection appears to be directed to straight couples only since there are no options for finding gay or lesbian partners.

TIP: Match.com UK has a huge number of single members from UK.

One of the positive aspects of UK Singles Connection is its easy registration process which requires users to click on a few multiple choice options. Once you give details of your gender, physical appearance like height, body type, eye and hair color, you will be asked to share information on your educational background, occupation, ethnicity, religion and marital status. The process is rounded off by obtaining personal details like your date of birth, geographical location, email address and username by which you want to be known on the site. Once the registration is done, you will be invited to create your own dating profile. You can make this as quick or as detailed as you want. The former involves a brief introduction about yourself and a catchy headline which will appear on your profile page. A far more detailed process requires you to submit short essays on yourself, your values and aspirations in life as well as the kind of person you are looking for. Finally you need to upload photos to accompany your profile and then you are done.

An interesting part of the profile creation process at UK Singles Connection is made up of a couple of compatibility tools. Under Match Preferences, you can specify the characteristics you want in a partner. The site will then send only those profiles to your inbox which are compatible to the preferences you have set. This not only increases the chances of your finding the kind of partner you want but also makes the search simpler and less time-consuming.

Users can also choose to fill in the Color Code Questionnaire, which generates a Color Profile. This is a psychometric test that assigns you a color based upon your personality traits. It is not only great fun to get interesting insights into your own personality but it may also bring to your attention some people that you ordinarily would not have considered. Since this method shows you with whom you are most psychologically suited, you have got more chances of finding your special someone!
Both these matchmaking tools can be found on other dating websites which form part of the Sparks Network. However their presence on UK Singles Connection makes it even more appealing to users and an especially useful tool in finding the perfect match in a multi-cultural society like that of UK.

UK Singles Connection allows all its members to view profiles, photos and message boards but to contribute to the latter you need to become a paid member. There are various levels of browsing at the site ranging from quick search by age, gender and location to more advanced categories like username, keywords, recently updated profiles, new members or any specific part of the profile. Apart from these you can also see who is online, should you wish to chat with someone at that very moment. Yet another interesting aspect of the site’s browsing function is the “Think You’d Click” option which is displayed along the profiles on a search result page. This is quite helpful in finding out discreetly if a member is interested in you.
Communication features like most dating sites are allowed only to paid members. Upon subscribing to a membership plan at UK Singles Connection, you can send to and receive e-mails from other members, connect on a one-to-one basis by instant messaging or log into one of the site’s several chat rooms. The Mingle Mail feature allows you to send mails anonymously until you are ready to disclose your identity through regular emails. Free members too have some room to initiate contact by sending e-cards, smiles, flirts or flashes. These usually take the form of a single short question which serves to break the ice with a potential partner.

UK Singles Connection offers its member certain security features too. By changing the settings you can hide any profile from viewing during searches as well as block a profile from being able to contact you. The site also makes it quite easy to report abusive content or a fake profile by simply clicking on a link which appears at the bottom of the search page as well as when viewing a profile.

UK Singles Connection offers two types of membership plans to its users. The first is free and includes creating and posting a profile and photos as well as searching facilities. The second, the Premium Membership is paid and starts from 6.10 Sterling Pounds per month. Should you wish to subscribe for a longer period to the site, you can also choose from the quarterly and half-yearly plans. Premium Members have access to the full range of features at UK Singles Connection.

Overall UK Singles Connection is an above-average site for finding partners in United Kingdom. It is quite economical compared to other sites and as far as site features are concerned, its membership plans seem to be good value for money.
