They currently have less than 12 thousand profiles between their two sites, Luvoo.com and Luvoo.pl, with approx: 500 users active within the span of a week. Luvoo has no matching system! I can't even search by zip code. My two cents is that Luvoo is behind the times and are only trying to boost the value of their stocks, only to dump when the price is right. Although they may succeed at this, their website is under developed and is not worth paying a dime for membership.

I though the idea of having a matchmaking game sounded intriguing (one of Luvoo's recent press releases - of which there have been many - toted it's matchmaking game for users), so I hopped on over to take a peek. I'll be more tactful here than I was in my blog, but let's just say the process wasn't very professional. A mere two days after I signed up (and ditched my account), I noticed Luvoo is now charging people to join. I can't imagine anyone wanting to shell out any amount of cash for such a strange site with little to offer users already saturated with other, less expensive, more interactive options.
