2 Is Matching Monster a dating service?
No, Matching Monster is not a dating service. A dating service will meet individually with each of its members before making recommendations on introductions. An online profiles site such as Matching Monster must rely on the member to be as honest as possible about themselves and what they are seeking for the Website to provide possible matches.



3 Will I meet someone using Matching Monster?

4 Is online dating safe?
As with all aspects of your daily life, you want to take precautions with dating to make sure that you use your common sense: meet in public places, do not feel pressured and do not give out personal information until such time as you feel comfortable.



5 I would rather meet people face to face, how can I do that with Matching Monster?

9 Do I really need to post a full profile?
For most people, posting a full profile is a lot of fun where they can put in writing what they really are all about and the type of person they are looking to meet. However, for some people, a root canal would be more enjoyable than writing about themselves. All we can tell you is that if you limit the information you post online, that will also limit the number of people who can match up with you in extended searches. Plus, you won’t look as cool as you know you are. So be thorough!



10 Should I post my picture online?
Hey, what do you have to hide? That is the question that people usually ask themselves when they see profiles without pictures. Not only should you post one picture, you should post many. Everyone looks different in different pics. So put the one you think portrays you in your best light as your main picture and then have some other shots of yourself to back it up. If you are posting pics of days gone by, be sure to put the date as part of the picture caption. That will help balance your current pictures but also provide credibility to you by being honest. No naughty pics will be allowed and all posted pictures are subject to review and approval by Matching Monster. Please allow 24-48 hours for approval/posting. Yes, we do look at all pics, so don’t post what you don’t want us to see.
