What we'd like to see improve…
There's not much to improve when you offer it all…except
maybe to eventually have a personal inbox within the Match.com
site. We also prefer sites that offer a one page scrollable
profile, this one makes you click though several pages which
can be more time consuming for certain browsers. Astrology
or Birthdates would be nice for those who like to play with
that but their personality and compatibility tests are so
fun and comprehensive we could over look that.
