In fact, you will have the opportunity to meet someone on the same intellectual level as you. Here are additional facts you should know about the site: 

The Pros 

Once you create an account, you can begin your journey in finding love. The platform works in such a way that it offers matches that are similar to your preferences. This will help you make the decision faster. The platform compares different profiles to find similarities between its users. Once you fill out your own profile, it will do the same for you. You will be offered a list of matches that you can choose to talk to. 

You will also be able to see other people’s likes and dislikes. This will help you to find a person that has very similar interests as well. Also, choosing to send a couple of winks will let the other person know that you are interested. The profiles on the website are very detailed and informative. You can find out a lot about a person even if you haven’t started a conversation in the first place. Also, if you need something to change on your own profile, you can without a problem.

The signing up process also won’t take much of your time. All you need to do is to spare 20 minutes of your life and you can enjoy your profile. Also, you’ll need to fill out a personality test so that the platform can begin matching you to similar people. If you are interested in discovering more reviews about the dating website, then do some research online. 

The Cons

You won’t be able to enjoy much of the site’s features if you don’t pay. You’ll need to have a premium account to explore the website’s full potential. You won’t be able to browse through different profiles unless you have paid a fee. Also, you won’t be able to see other people’s images and find out what they look like. This is a huge setback in your search for love. Appearances matter and they are the first thing that eager singles notice. 

Furthermore, if you want to message someone and start a pleasant conversation, you need to have a premium account as well. The goal is to meet someone and find out what kind of person they are. You can’t solemnly tell that from the information written on their profile. The best way to tell that is through chatting constantly. Unfortunately, you need to pay for that as well.

There’s no point in creating an account, if you can’t enjoy all of these features. They will help you find someone for sure. The site’s success rate is pretty high. Sure, the signing up part is free, but you won’t be able to explore further the website without having a premium account. If you are really eager to find an intellectual just for you, then you need to pay a fee. They are not expensive and they are worth it. You will be able to find and contact someone immediately. If these pros convince you not to make an account, then you can always sign off and look for an alternative. 

The Costs

The site offers three premium accounts titled light, classic and comfort. Their prices range from 15 to 32 dollars. Make sure to read all of their features and decide whichever suits you best. This will allow you to enjoy all the features that you couldn’t before with a free membership. Just take your time and pick out users that will probably suit you the best. There are over 10 million registered. 

Not everyone loves doing their exercise down at the local gym, and of course that’s absolutely fine. I’ve spent many a gratifying early morning jogs racing, occasionally walking, through local parks, up and down hills, around ponds. Outdoor running is a great way to get or stay fit, get fresh air into the lungs and experience your local environment.

Likewise competitive sport. I’m a football fan and have always enjoyed getting together with friends on a weekday evening or Saturday morning. We don’t tend to play so often these days but for the best part of a decade we’d make the effort, get up early if need be, book a 5-a-side court or simply claim a spot in Regent’s Park and play for an hour two, once or twice a week.

Non-competitive sports are also fun. Cycling is a personal favourite and is something I’ve often practiced both by myself or with one or two friends. We’ll often send each other a WhatsApp message in the week with a route suggestion – nothing too demanding, but always something new. Thinking about it now, it could well be that cycling is my favourite way to be active; maybe there’s no better way to explore and get to know your local area – woodland, parkland, streets. It’s also just a great way to spend time with friends and loved ones.

Despite all the above, I don’t actually consider myself all that active. Most weeks I do some form of physical exercise two or three times a week. But that’s also often once or zero times a week. What I do know is that I never regret doing exercise. Certainly the idea of it doesn’t always get me excited. I could probably count on the fingers of one hand the times that I’ve actually looked forward to heading off to the indoor climbing centre in the middle of the week, straight from work. But I’ve literally always felt great for having done it.

Whether it’s seeing the people you get on with, challenging yourself, successfully meeting a challenge, or simply getting the blood going and adrenalin pumping, one or more hours of beneficial physical activity is a brilliant way to spend one’s time. But with so many different opportunities out there for us to go and get, then stay, fit, why go to the gym at all?

For me what the local gym offers is the chance to specifically target areas of your fitness and body. That could be your cardio fitness and health, it could be your lower-body strength, or upper-body flexibility and suppleness. I will always prefer running in the park to running on a treadmill. But when I do running in the gym, I can more accurately measure my progress, and better inform myself as to any areas of weakness.

I use my gym work to benefit my sport. For example, I noticed that my calves were beginning to cramp towards the end of football matches. So I made a point of going to the gym and targeting calf work to build up the muscle and resistance. I also like to go to the gym before playing again if I’ve been injured for a short time.

So if you want to measure your progress, target weaknesses or help your recovery from an injury, I’d say get yourself down to the gym – it’s another great way to help you get and stay fit.
