Out Personals is one of those sites that many membership websites make use of. If you see 'free chat', 'free personals' or 'free dating' advertised on a site as being an extra or bonus then the chances are, when you get into the members' area, you will find nothing more than a link to a third party chat or dating site, and it could well be Out Personals. Why? Because it's one of the better hook up sites available to us fun seekers.

It's been around since 1996 and now has over one and a half million members. When I logged in there were 5,000 on line, 258 in the chat rooms and 172 ready for instant messaging. Actually I did find the home page somewhat daunting at first with all the news, stats, pics and things to click and explore. But sit back and take your time and you'll soon find that this site is going to be fun to use. There are a whole host of features and all I can do here is outline some of them for you.

So I guess the first thing is to search out our perfect mate, look for a hot date or simply browse other members and have a perv at their pics. There are several ways to search and you'll see them on the drop down list that appears when you hover over the main search option. The basic 'start new search' gives you a huge list of options to narrow your search. I mean there is everything from the obvious, age and location, down to Zodiac sign. And, when you get your results, the information about each guy is just as detailed. Assuming he has loaded that info onto his profile of course. That's the thing about these kinds of sites; they are only as good as the people who use them. There's no point only putting up your age and location, if you are serious about finding new mates and some hot fun you need to be as detailed in your profile as possible.

You access you profile under 'My Account' and it is here that you should upload your pics - hard/sexy pics are allowed (as is video) and as much information (honest information that is) about yourself as you can. Now, when other guys start to look around the thousands of profiles on the site you stand more of a chance of coming up high on the list. The formula is: more detail = more matches.

So you find a profile with some pics that get you going... then what? Well, you can read his write up, view his personal stats and see how well he matches up with what you're looking for and view all of his private photos and any videos he may have uploaded. You can send private messages, e-mails, winks and even voice messages to start making contact and, if he likes you, he will reply. If you want to be more immediate you can use the chat rooms: these can be accessed by region, so you can see how many other people from your country or state are on line, or by categories such as cyberchat or webcam fun.

Bottom Line:
Those are just a few of the features open to you when you are a full member of Out Personals. There are many other things to explore - like the video archives, the blogs and the magazines. You can even join groups of guys who share the same interests as you and really get involved in the whole cyber-network scene. If you're not sure you can get a pretty clear idea of how the site works from the free area where you can browse and view but you can't interact. There are some features available with a free membership but you're better off upgrading and really making the most of what is a large on-line community of guys (and gals of course) wanting to find other guys. There are many similar sites out there but I reckon Out Personals is one of the front runners.
