LoopyLove.com

My brother (I swear!) recently found a site that combines the raw appeal of Craigslist with the "picture feedback" of www.hotornot.com. The site is at LoopyLove.com, and it is a free dating site based in the UK.

Some of the features of the site are fairly standard: pictures, profiles, e-mail integration, etc. But, in addition to these basics, the site features free online chat. The chat rooms are quite lively and interesting without being salacious. For example, my brother was chatting with one woman who claimed to be an internet addict and veterinarian. She told him animal stories for--I am not kidding--90 minutes. Then asked if she could give him a call, presumably to tell more stories. But she suggested that would go out for steaks.

The site seems to be filled with such good-humored Brits. It must be admitted that Americans are few and far between although, to be honest, this may be a good thing. My favorite feature of the site, though, is the "picture feedback" allowed. The negative picture feedback garnered by my brother was frank to the point of being nearly insulting. But he had posted a lousy picture. He replaced it with a picture featuring: 1) an appealing background, as opposed to the blank wall of his apartment earlier featured; 2) a clear shot of his face, as opposed to the blur that was formerly offered; and 3) some reasonably presentable clothes. After these changes, he got a good deal of really positive feedback in a very short span of time.

In short, this seems like a fun site for meeting fun-loving people! Recommended.
