Additional information from Whispers 4 U: |
- 1) We were the first dating site that is specifically aimed at disabled people.
- 2) We run our own Scamwatch scheme designed to deter fraudulent members and scammers from operating
|
What we found: |
-
The Birthday list seems like a cool idea to be able to break the ice when making initial contact.
-
The verification of members entitlement to free membership is also a great idea.
-
We like the idea of a site dedicated to members of the community who may find meeting people difficult due to mental or physical disadvantages. That, plus the fact that prices have been kept low make this a winning site.
-
The site was simple to use, and had a handy link on the home page to members recently on line, we found the search to comprehensive and only lacked a search for who is currently on line.
