Yahoo Personals doesn't deserve even the one star. This site's rating doesn't allow for zero stars. What's the problem? First, and foremost, the site is pitifully maintained and not updated. For instance, it recommends the use of Netscape Navigator. That browser hasn't been around for years.

Most importantly, instructions for doing simple things like removing people from your Favorites aren't valid. That is, it tells you to look for a certain button but the button doesn't exist. As a result, your Favorites list keeps growing and becomes unmanageable. Worse, the people you've favorited think you're still interested in them and wonder why you don't contact them. This results in too much confusion for everybody.

Gee, I really shouldn't be surprised by all the technical problems. Yahoo is owned by at&t and that's a company that knows nothing about keeping customers happy.

If you encounter any problems with Yahoo Personals, there's no way to get it resolved. You can try one of the contact links, but no one will ever respond.

Lastly, the membership of Yahoo Personals isn't anywhere close to any of the other services. I think this is mostly due to the technical issues. I won't be renewing my membership. In fact, I'm closing it long before the end of my subscription due to the frustration with the site.

If you want a better experience for a reasonable price, go to Match.com. The site is well managed and works like it should. Furthermore, there are far more members at Match.com and you'll meet far more matches.
