A good site for the right person, but not really a site for everyone.

Bear Dating is a dating site that wants to bring together the students, faculty and alumni of the University of Northern Colorado. The tour looks pretty cool and has a nice clean design. The free membership sign up process is very quick and easy to fill out. There is a ton of detail you can add to your profile, but they let you skip all of that at sign up if you want and fill it out whenever. The member's area is very easy to navigate. There isn't a whole lot going on in this site so you can just use the main menu to navigate around.

There are two types of profile searches available. A basic search lets you search by age range and distance from you while the Super Match feature uses the details from your profile to better match you with other people. As a whole, there are not a lot of members to this site. There are about 500 men and 500 women in the site. That isn't a lot, but the site is very location specific and almost all of the members are in the area of the university so in that small of a location it isn't too bad. The down side is that if you are in an area that is not near the university chances are very slim that there will be anyone near you and the value of the site declines sharply. You can search the profiles and look at people's profiles for free so you can always check it out and see if there is anyone near you before you spend your money.

Another downside of the site is that it lacks any bonus features. Many dating sites these days offer their members chat rooms, instant messaging, user forums and other things like that. This site, sadly, has none of that.

Overall, this is one of those sites that the right people will find useful, but most others will not. If you live near or are associated with the university then the site might be of use to you. It is easy to use and has a decent number of members for that small of a target audience. Most other people will not get much use out of it. My score on this one reflects what the average person will get from the site, so those of you closer to the university can consider the site as having a higher score.
