Horny Matches Review

What is Horny Matches?

Horny Matches is a dating site with over 15 years of experience. They have won awards, and they promise not to create fake accounts, send spam or sell your email address and info, so it all looks pretty safe. It also has a neat interface that’s well designed, and it’s easy to use. Hook up with thousands of other users, search their profiles and photos, upload your own and let the world know who and what you are looking for. Horny Matches also has a simple registration process, and lets you get very detailed in your profile and searching, so it compares well to other dating sites, except this one is an award-winner.

Horny Matches is also designed to be used on mobile phones.

Registration and Getting Started (what you first see)

Horny Matches has a simple front page where you can begin your registration. In fact, you must start by registering, although you can see some of the porn-model-like girls they say can be found inside the members’ area. Signing up is free, and you start by stating your gender as either male or female.

Step one

The initial steps are connected, so as you click your gender, you head straight to the second part of the form, and so on until you’re done. It doesn't take long, and here’s what you are asked to provide:

• Gender: Yes. Male/Female.
• Register as a couple: No.
• Age: Yes.
• City: Yes.
• Email: Yes. Must be valid.
• Choose a password: Yes.
• You can then claim free Cam Soda tokens.
• Agree to terms: Automatic.
• Agree to data privacy policy: Optional.

Note: I was unable to register with my actual (European) city because of a message: ‘Does not operate in your area.’ I used a VPN and entered my location as the USA (a zip code is needed, though), and that worked. Just be aware that Horny Matches might not be available in certain countries.

How To set up your Profile at Horny Matches

Registration done, you then come to a welcome page over which is another box asking for more details and a profile photo and username. A username is suggested for you, but you can alter this. If you alter it, the site tells you the new one must be verified before you can become a member, but although I changed mine, I was able to enter the site as soon as I’d gone through the rest of the registration process. This includes the optional fields:

• About you.
• What you do for fun.
• Ethnicity.
• Body type.
• Who you are looking for.
• Age range.
• Preferred ethnicity.
• Preferred body types.

Once you have finished registering, you will be directed to the welcome page, but to go further, you need to click a validation link sent to you by email. Mine arrived within a few seconds.

Does Horny Matches have many Members, Photos and Videos?

It’s hard to say how many members there are at Horny Matches, but looking at the site, I’d say there were serval hundred thousand. You can see who’s online, but you only get limited search results unless you have signed up. You also have pop-up adverts which may vanish once you're a paid member. After searching, you can see members’ profile pics and the number of photos each member has, and some had over 20. You can't actually see the images or profiles until you are a paid-up member, however, so in that respect, the usability of Horny Matches is limited. Here are a few other details.

• Registered members: Unknown number.
• Photos: Yes.
• Videos: Yes.
• Can I add photos: Yes.
• Can I add videos: Yes.
• Set privacy preferences: Yes.
• Search: Yes, detailed.
• Members’ webcams: Yes, there are group video chats.
• Chat rooms: Yes.
• Top lists and what’s hot: Yes.
• Instant messenger: Yes.
• Stream live cam: Yes.

How Easy is it to Search Horny Matches?

The filters for searching are found behind an icon, and if you don't know to look for it, or if you don’t change the search criteria, the site chooses girls or guys nearest to you by default. Once found, though, the filters are many and various, so here’s a rundown.

Search Filters include:

• Sexual preference: Straight, Gay, Bi.
• Find: Women, men, couples, trans.
• Who are: Online now, video chatting, with photos, live streaming, SMS/text verified, verified photos.
• Age: Yes.
• Location/distance: By country/city.
• Online members: Yes.
• Instant message: Yes.
• Only with photos: Yes.
• Only with videos: No.
• Verified/confirmed members: Yes.
• Premium members: Yes.
• Save search criteria: No.
• Search by username: Yes.
• Advanced search: Yes.
• Change layout view: Yes.

Results Display

Sometimes, after searching, I was redirected to the upgrade page, so you might find you're unable to search for free. It was annoying, but I repeated the search process and saw results, so it seems this advertising is random. When you do get your results, though, you find a decent amount of information and various ways to filter the results.

Note: You can only see full profiles, chat, and many other functions once you are a paid-up member.

• Thumbnails: Yes.
• Name: Yes.
• Location: Yes.
• Change view: Yes.
• Filters: Most popular, distance, last login, photo count.
• Roll-over pop-up info: No.
• Message and like: Yes, but only once you are a paid-up member.

What are the Main Areas of Horny Matches?

What Nifty Extra Features does Horny Matches Provide?

For members who have taken the upgrade, Horny Matches allows you to indulge in video chat, random searching, detailed searching, video and photo sharing, and a thing called Match Game. Here, you can swipe through profile photos and rate users to get more notice. You need at least one photo uploaded to play this random ‘game.’

Is Horny Matches Free to Join?

It’s free to start your registration at Horny Matches, but to get the full benefit, you will need to sign up for the upgrade. There are various packages on offer, all reasonably priced, and they come with the guarantee that if you haven’t hooked up within three months, you will get an extra three months for free.

Membership packages

Bear in mind that the rates shown here may appear different according to your country and local currency. These offers all fall under the heading of ‘Gold’ membership.

• Two-day trial: $0.95 (on offer, and down from the regular price of $4.95).
• Seven-day trial $9.95, down from $14.95.
• One month $34.95, down by 30% from $49.95.

What’s the Bottom Line at Horny Matches?

Horny Matches is a dating site with many years’ experience, and it’s one that comes with many nifty features and built-in flirt, chat and hook-up options. You're able to take the basic tour for free, but many of the site’s features are closed to you unless you take the upgrade. At $49.95 per month, this is one of the more expensive dating sites, but it is also one of the better displayed, most used, and interactive, so the choice is yours. Currently, the site is offering discounted membership, so look out for those. I also had issues trying to register from within Europe, so your location may be a problem. However, once you have registered, and certainly once you have upgraded, you will find Horny Matches to be very user-friendly, packed with genuine guys and girls showing off photos and videos, and ready to get to know you, making this one of the more popular dating sites.
