UrbanSocial Review November 2024

Signing up on UrbanSocial is fairly easy and straightforward. After you have filled in the basic information such as your gender, sexual preference, name, birthday, and password, your account is already created. The entire process takes about a minute. 

However, you are then prompted to upload your photo and answer questions about yourself, your appearance, lifestyle, and interests. You can opt to skip this part. You can still proceed to the website without filling up any of this information. But, if you do take the time (five minutes maximum) to be as thorough as you can when you describe yourself, you unlock a free introduction that allows you to chat right away with local members.

Take note that profiles with no photos will not be seen by other members. If you don’t upload a photo of yourself, no one will be able to see your profile.

Lastly, email verification is mandatory. You have to click the verification link sent to your email in order to fully activate your account.

One of the incentives for completing your profile is the Free Introduction. The introduction comes in the form of a message which will be sent out to everyone who meets your search criteria. Using this feature from the get-go can be to your advantage since you will be able to reach out to lots of other members in a short amount of time. Easily get to know people and create contacts right away without spending a single cent.

You will find UrbanSocial to be your traditional dating site with classic contacting features such as unlimited winks, dating diaries, instant messengers, extensive search, and algorithm-produced matches. It uses features that work and does not try to go down the novelty route that newer sites and apps seem to fall prey to. Half the time, these gimmicks and tricks don’t produce quality matches. However, UrbanSocial. takes you back to the good old days and deliver quality matches using proven and tested—some might say old-fashioned—ways.

What is great about UrbanSocial is the number of features available for basic members. Although a premium membership will definitely boost your experience, a basic member can still do a lot of things such as basic search, send unlimited winks, and send messages. If you are someone who wanted to try UrbanSocial, you don’t have to pay right away. You will still have enough features left which you can use to explore the site more and see if it’s worth the upgrade or not.

Because you get to unlock a contacting feature for free when you complete your profile upon registration, it is no surprise that most of the profiles we have encountered on UrbanSocial are detailed and fully fleshed out. The best thing is, you can view profiles even if you aren’t a paid member. You can also use extensive search and browse through profiles as a basic member. You can see their photos, read all about that person, know their interests, lifestyle, and other info that would help you determine whether they are a good match or not.

If you choose to skip uploading a photo or taking the time to answer questions about yourself, you can still update your profile later. Remember that no one can see your profile and you will not show up on search results if you don’t have a profile picture. It is one of the great protocols implemented by UrbanSocial to ensure that members are legit people and genuinely looking for dates instead of scamming others.
