Guardian Soulmates is the popular dating service for professionals from The Guardian newspaper, one of the most popular UK broadsheets. Guardian Soulmates offers its members the opportunity to meet intelligent, interesting professionals for fun and relationships from across the UK. Members can join for free and create their own profile, complete with a range of photos and a wealth of information, in order to encourage their perfect match to get in touch! With literally thousands of profiles hosted on the site, Guardian Soulmates remains one of the most popular highbrow dating communities available online.
Creating the perfect profile with Guardian Soulmates is straightforward and simple. Members can upload as many photos to their profile as they like, as well as adding a wealth of information to their profiles on a range of topics. The profiles themselves are simple to navigate and provide other users with all of the information they need to know, in an accessible way. Members can answer a number of basic questions relating to themselves and the sort of person they are looking for (such as height, hair colour, eye colour, body type and more) as well as write as much as they like in the “about me” section. Unlike other sites, Guardian Soulmates endeavours to ensure that all profiles are verified as genuine, meaning you shouldn’t have the same problems relating to fake profiles that we have experienced with other services. Once you’ve found someone you like, it’s easy to get in touch by using the site’s great mail service.
In March 2011 Guardian Soulmates underwent considerable updates to improve the site’s functionality and bring it in line with other services offered elsewhere. Members can now take advantage of a much improved search feature, login procedure, more varied mailbox features, improved search filtering and a more informative matching process. While these features are all fantastic news for existing members and new members alike, the launch of the new Soulmates service did not go smoothly and many customers are still experiencing problems with the site. Similarly, some services have not yet fully resumed (such as the matching emails service) whilst the final issues are worked out. Although those members who have been affected by the problems will receive compensation from the service (and we found problems to be at a minimum at the time of writing this review), we would advise our readers to take out a trial membership to experience how the service is performing before committing to a subscription.
With a vast range of great features and some of the most exciting member profiles we have come across, Guardian Soulmates is a great service that we’re sure will appeal to loads of our readers. Geared up specifically for professional, intelligent members, Guardian Soulmates helps its users find the perfect match with considerable ease. Finally, although members may be a little put off by teething problems experienced following the recent site updates, £96 for six-month membership remains a great price for what is one of the UK’s premier online dating sites for professionals.
