Lumberjack Singles

Lumberjack Singles is a dating site for the students, faculty and friends of Stephen F. Austin State University. The site is very localized with almost all of the members living in the area near the university. If you also live in this area, then this is good news. If not, it is not very good news.

The site has a nice clean design that makes navigating it very simple. Singing up for your free membership is also something that is easy to do. When signing up you can take the time to fill in all the details on your profile, or you can choose to skip it and fill it in later. I like that feature because it lets you check out the site before committing a bunch of time to filling out a detailed profile. Once you have a membership you can search the other member's profiles using a basic or advanced search. The basic search allows you to search by age range and distance from you while the advanced search, called Super Match, uses the details from your profile to match you with others. You can search the profiles and look at other people's profiles for free, but you will have to get a paid membership if you want to contact people directly.

Sadly, the search options are the only features on this site. There are no chat rooms or instant message options which is too bad, I would have liked to have seen something like that. Features aside, the potential biggest problem the site has is, as mentioned, just about all of the members live in the general area of the school which makes the site basically useless for just about anyone else.

The local nature of the site and the lack of extra features is why I scored this site on the lower end. I did this because for most people out there the site will not be very good. However, if you are among those that live in the area of the school or are involved with the school they you will probably find that the site has some real value because you do have a decent number of people all centralized and with at least the university as a shared point of interest.
