Raider Singles

Raider Singles is a dating site for the single students, staff and friends of Wright State University. While the site looks really good and is easy to use it is also very local in nature which will make it a site most people will not have much use for. At least 95% of the members of this site live in the general area of the university. This is great news if you live there as well because this means there are over 1,000 potential people for you contact in your area. However, if you are not in that area, this isn't very good news at all.

If you do decide to give the site a try you will find the sign up process to be fast and easy to complete. You will have the option of filling in all the details from your profile when you sign up or you can fill them in later if you wish. The only real feature of the site is its search engine. The search engine allows you to do a basic search which has you select an age range and a distance from you and then filters the results based on those criteria. If you want more detailed results you can use the Smart Match feature. This option takes the details from your profile and uses them to match you with other members. If you skipped filling in your profile details at sign up then you will need to go back and fill them in before the Smart Match feature will work properly.

As I mentioned the only real feature on this site is the search engine. There are no chat rooms or user forums and there are no instant message options. I found this to be a let down as many dating sites are now starting to offer these bonus features.

Raider Singles is one of those sites that will work well for some people, but not for most. Because it is very local in nature anyone not living in the area will have little use for the site which is why I gave it a lower score. That said, using the search engine and looking at other people's profiles is free (you only have to get a paid membership if you want to contacts someone) so you can always check the site out and see what you think without spending any money. If you do live near the university, I would highly suggest you give it a try. There are over 1,000 members and they all live in your area so your odds of meeting someone is pretty good.
