Strengths:

Tickle has over 18 million members. This makes it easy to find people in your local area, or other locations around the world. Having this many member could make it difficult to narrow in on a match, but Tickle provides extensive profiles, numerous personality and relationship tests, and matchmaking services to make the job both easy and fun. In addition to an array of great services, Tickle offers the following exceptional services.

Online Assessment Testing
Tickle.com bills itself as the leading in “online assessment tests,” such as personality matching tests. This is a really great and fun way to find people because it matches you with people who fit your needs based on how you answer your questions.

Feature ME!
This is a great service that gives you the ability to be featured to other members if you have a recent photo of yourself in your profile. This feature increases your chance to be seen and ultimately success.

Search by College
If you’re looking for someone who went to a particular college or university, you can do a search on it. This is a feature that is not often seen on other dating sites.

Matchmaking Services
Mutual Match is their service that allows you to view profiles from their site and indicate if you’d like to meet the person behind the profile.

Notes:

Tickle provides icebreakers, anonymous email, and instant messaging to communicate with other members who interest you. This is fine for most members, however, it is not comfortable for people who like to meet in groups, such as a chat room, or for people who like to get to know someone over a nice game of cards. Tickle lacks a variety of communication aids to make it easy and comfortable for everyone to get acquainted once they have found someone that interests them. Too many tests become overwhelming. Tests are fun at first but with so many tests your interest may be lost quickly. At the end of the day, we’re at the site to find someone, not to take tests.
