Hawkeye Singles

Hawkeye Singles is a dating site for the students, faculty, alumni and friends of the University of Iowa. While you don't have to be involved with the university to use this site, you will need to live in the general area of it because that is where about 95% of the members are located. If you don't live in that general area then the site probably won't be of much use to you.

Joining the site is a fast and easy process. Your profile can be filled in with a ton of detail, but they let you skip all that during the sign up if you want and allow you to fill it in later. Once inside you will find a very stripped down, basic member's area. The main feature of the site is the search options. Basic search will allow you to search the profiles by age range and distance from you. The advanced search is called Smart Match and it uses the details from your profile to better match you with people. If you want to use the Super Match option you will need to fill in the details on our profile. You can search the profiles and look at people's profiles with your free membership, but you will have to get a paid membership if you want to contact them directly.

Aside from the search, the features on this site are a let down. This is because the search are the only features. There are no chat rooms or instant messaging options. Nothing extra.

I scored this site on the low end for a couple of reasons. First, is it lacks a lot of the features that many dating sites are now offering. The second reason is that there are not a whole lot of members and they are all focused in one area. If you happen to live in or around that area, you might like this site and get a lot of use out of it because there is a heavy concentration of users where you are. However, if you don't then the site really won't be worth your time.
