Elite Singles Review

Start Free Trial

Overview

​People have always told me that my standards are too high when it comes to dating. But I'll happily accept having high standards over just settling for anyone that's even remotely suitable.

Unfortunately, I've had more matches that proved to be duds before our first, and last date was over.

Online dating seemed like a good solution, but it quickly became clear that I would have to keep up an effort still when using these sites.

I came across so many profiles from people who wanted to focus on shallow things like their accomplishments in high school. What I wanted was someone who appealed to my sense of intelligence.

When I came across Elite Singles, it was an epiphany. At last, I had found a site that was about matching people based on intelligence. 

Users on this site are sophisticated and curious. They want to have deep conversations about things like the mysteries of the universe.

Elite Singles is full of maturity, which can be gathered from the fact that 90 percent of their users are 30 and older.

Thanks to this site, I've been able to build a lasting relationship. What's even better is that I know neither of us is settling.

Key Features

Membership

People who use Elite Singles want to meet people who are financially well-off and intelligent. This may seem like a site that has impossibly high standards.

However, there are five million users in the United States alone, along with even more around the world.

It's also a very good site to use if you're looking for someone to settle down with. The overwhelming majority of Elite Singles users are age 30 or older. 

If you want any further evidence of this being a site that is focused on intelligence, most of the users have a college degree.

If you're outside of the U.S., your best chances for success on Elite Singles will be if you live in Canada or the U.K. There's also a pretty even split between male and female users.

There are many people who hit the demographics that are best served by Elite Singles, and this hopefully includes you.

Sign Up (Elite Singles Free Trial)

If you've signed up for other dating sites, you should know that it can sometimes take a while and other times take only a few minutes.

Elite Singles' sign-up process is short enough to hold your attention but long enough to feel meaningful. Should you be used to filling out site registration forms, it shouldn't take any longer than 20 minutes.

One of the biggest perks of signing up for Elite Singles is filling out the personality test. This will take up the bulk of your registration time and help the site to figure out who to match you with. After completion, you'll receive a free report of your results.

You'll also be shown people who align with your values, based on how you answered the previous questions. You'll need to do your best to answer these honestly.

There's a decent range of response options, so don't worry if you're not completely sure about answering strongly for any particular question.

Profiles

Elite Singles profiles have a lot going for them, as they're expertly designed and include lots of important information.

However, free users aren't able to see the full extent of how good a profile is, as you need to have a paid account in order to see images. This includes a user's profile picture.

Upon registration, new Elite Singles users are required to answer some questions. Their answers help to determine who'd be suited for them as well as offering profile visitors a quality rundown of who they are. Profiles also give you a range of options for ways to catch a user's attention.

Although Elite Singles is primarily concerned with non-physical traits, such information is still good to consider when looking for a partner. 

This information can be found in the higher portion of a user's page. To get more information about a user, be sure to click on the "Personality Profile" tab, which is based on the initial survey information.

Making Contact

While Elite Singles have many ways of getting in touch with one another, your options are going to be severely limited unless you have a paid membership. 

Being able to send messages is reserved for those with subscriptions. If you're a free user, you can use "winks" to show another user that they've got your attention.

With a paid membership, you can send messages to whoever you wish. However, replies will only occur on the basis that they too have a paid membership.

Another advantage of being a paid user is that your profile is better promoted to other users.

Should you want to quickly go through various profiles, you can use the "Have You Met?" feature.

Different users will be presented to you, and you can show your interest by selecting the "wink" or your disinterest by clicking the "X."

Elite Singles Costs & Pricing

​Once you've made the wise decision to sign up for a paid membership with Elite Singles, you have to make the tougher decision of how long of a subscription you want. 

There are three levels to choose from: Light, Classic, and Comfort. These are available at intervals of three, six, and twelve months, respectively.

The longer your subscription, the last it will cost per month. However, you should know that your account is charged all at once. So, a 12-month membership might work out to paying $19.95 per month for access, you'll need to pay the full $239.40 all at once.

If you want to end your membership with Elite Singles, you need to do so before your subscription period ends. Otherwise, the cycle will immediately start over.

It doesn't take much work to cancel your account. However, if you signed up through the mobile app, then you'll need to cancel through whichever app-purchasing service you used.
