C-Date

The standard registration process is free and involves just six quick steps. First, decipher exactly what you’re looking for, whether it’s simply meeting singles, flirting, watching another couple, kinky games, chatting, or a long-term arrangement. You can highlight as many categories as you like that describe what it is that you’re looking for. Next, the set up will ask who you’re attracted to, men, women, or both. The third step is to tell them where you’re from. There are dozens of countries included outside of Australia such as the US, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Taiwan, and so on, from which members can join. For the fourth step, C-Date wants to know your age and relationship status so they can match you more precisely. In the next step, tell them what you look like and don’t hold back! There is someone out there who desires your exact body type and appearance. Finally, the sixth step is where you make your account official by giving your email address and password. A confirmation email will be sent to you. You’ll receive a link in your inbox that will lead you to the next stage: building your profile.

Initially, you are free to browse the site and even read the messages you receive, however, only paid subscription members are able to interact with other members. You can also toggle the notification settings and decide when you want to be notified via email and when a simple pop-up on the website when you log in will suffice. C date tries its best to remove people with fake photos and also tries to scrutinize all the added photos. You receive questions of the day and the website also suggests some people based on your preferences; they are displayed on the right hand side of the website whenever you log in. Along with this, you also receive daily matches.

The searching feature on the website is also very sophisticated. You can apply different filters like preferred gender, preferred region, age, shape and hair length etc. This makes it ridiculously easy to view people who you could actually get along with.

Member profile

C-Date makes it easy to market yourself via your online profile. Using a drop-down box, they’ll ask you to select your profession, education, drinking & smoking habits, and disclose whether you have any tattoos or nicknames. If you don’t wish to share this information with other users, there is the option to select the “Ask Me Personally” option. C-Date will also prompt you to describe yourself by allowing you to choose a list of personality characteristics that may describe you and physical attributes that you are proud of such as your chest or legs. With a simple glace at a member’s profile, you can get a good idea of who they are. Their profile picture is displayed to the left next to an “About Me” section, which details some important get-to-know-you stats. You’ll also notice that once on the profile page, a new navigation bar will appear to help you move between profile settings and your database search criteria.

Your erotic type

Define you erotic type by choosing 5 photos from a large selection of suggestive thumbnails. These five photos will be displayed on your profile to represent what turns you on.

Home page

C-Date’s homepage is possibly the most straightforward homepage out there in terms of use. You have a navigation bar at the top, a list of members who are available to chat in the box to the right and in the center you’ll find a section labeled “What’s New” to show member activity. Just below that are profile thumbnails of your matches. The homepage is clean, modern, and will allow you to connect with people even quicker than other dating websites.

Navigation bar

The navigation bar is modest with just three main portals: fees, contacts, and your mailbox. On the right-hand perimeter of the Navigation Bar are widgets for you to view your profile, matches, and see who likes you or who has viewed you. The navigation bar isn’t overloaded with unnecessary buttons that you’ll never use.

Messaging

If you see someone you’re interested in within the ‘Matches’ section on your homepage, there is a big green button next to their picture where you can immediately write them a message. To view your messages, click on the mailbox icon to take you to your inbox where you can read and write message just like on any other messaging platform.

Search

From your profile’s navigation bar, you can click on ‘Search Criteria’ to fine-tune the specific type of partner you’re looking for. If you wish, you can specify the appearance, marital status, location, or other key measurements in regards to your future partner. Perhaps the most standout feature, however, is your ability to specify the sexual desires you wish for your partner to share.

Mobile

Available on Android and iPhone, C-Date’s mobile applications are just as easy to use as their desktop site. Profiles are displayed beautifully and you can jump between profiles swiftly until you find someone you like. Browse, match, and message your way to an interesting evening with a new playful friend.

C-Date strives to protect the identity and data of all its customers. It does so by only letting people who confirm their emails to use the website and by continuously performing quality control and removing profiles which look fake or like spam. The company also realizes just how sensitive the data uploaded to the website is and they have taken numerous steps for its protection. The precise details are present on the data protection section of the website.

If you feel offended by a person or if you think someone is trying to catfish you or if for some other reason, you want to stop seeing a person or stop them from seeing you, you can report a member with ease. All you have to do is click on their picture to open their profile and then click on ‘report member.’

You can deactivate your profile without having to delete it if you want to take a break, but there is no option to surf the website in incognito mode. You can also delete your profile by sending an email to the company’s support team. Overall, the website has taken more steps to protect data privacy and customer identity than most dating websites do. They also have a comprehensive data processing, protection, and privacy documentation available on the website which can serve as a good reference for people looking to stay safe while dating online.
