Login & Customizing Profiles
You can login to your account using your userid and password. After login you land up to the members’ home page of the site. You can change all the info on your profile that you have entered during registration. Setting up privacy rules for to restrict unwanted access is not the part of this site as you can not set such rules and that makes online singles on datelot.com vulnerable to spammer and scammer.
Photo Profile Section
Uploading photo is very of orthodox with no social networking import function and only allows 2 photos per profile. Reason for saying this as orthodox as other free online dating sites is giving feature to tie photos to your free dating profile from social networking sites like Facebook.
Browse & Search Features
Free Dating sites, DateLot.com works on matching and your provided information. While creating the free online dating profile you have been asked about the kind of match and location of match you are looking for and on that information you are being entertained by search results.

Messaging
Messaging hold the key of online dating that is how well you communicate more easily you can make your free online dating work. DateLot.com provide only offline messaging features that comprises of sending message, send a wink, add to buddy list, add to banned list, add to hot list and mark as watched profile. This site seriously lack option of free online dating, this has become the key feature of any free online dating sites.
Other Features
All free dating sites need some stickiness to appeal members of free dating sites to stick for long period of time and which includes freebies like blog, forum, dating article and tips. DateLot.com offer only dating articles to read which help you during you online dating but that is also not been updates since 2009 which clearly shows that there is not activity going on from webmaster.

Member Base
Free dating sites, Datelot.com has very poor member base as all member are from very young age and appear to be majority of members are male. Site shows high number shows majority of members are from USA but also shows some of the members are from UK.
Longevity
This has the big question mark of the site as all members are from young are which are not serious daters and look for casual relationship or friendship. To be honest this free dating sites, Datelot.com doesn’t look better site has good Longevity.

Conclusion
Look and feel of the site is very lack luster as compared to other free dating sites where it is usually painted with bold colors. Registration is a single step process but missing the social networking touch like most of free online dating sites are coming up with such as Jumpdates which enhances user experience.
Sites does not have a good privacy feature and opens the flood gates for potential spammers and scammers. Sites also scores less as you can only attach 2 photos to your free dating profile, and again the social media connection is missing and you have to upload photos from you computer only.
Website works on match system depending upon your dating profile and details you provided including your preferred location for match. This does not work well as during the review we get off different kind of search on free online dating sites Datelot.com.
Site has a poor member base with a less active user and even less active site management as can be witnessed with no dating articles posted for the past 2 years. If you looking for free dating sites with a touch of freshness than Jumpdates should be ideal place to go.

Login & Customizing Profiles
You can login using user id and password to you free dating account. You can customize all you profile information you provided at the time of account creation. There are no privacy options on this site to makes you dating experience spammer and scammer free. These days this has become a thumb rule for all free dating sites, a very good example is Jumpdates.
Photo Profile Section
Uploading photo to this site is not that great as you can upload only 1 photo and that would only from your computer. World has already experiencing the social networking boom and most of big and good player are providing option of getting your photos from Orkut, facebook or even web picasa.
Browse & Search Features
Searching online singles of any dating sites has to be good as this the why we all login to free dating sites to get the best match and for that it should have good matching system and good searching options.

On Beautiful-lodies.com searching is very poor and only allows you to search with basic search with details like age, location and gender. You can filter search by option show photo only to scrutinize more.
Messaging
Messaging is heart of any free online dating sites as it give use the opportunity to say heart out. Messaging can be online offline text voiced or gestured, it’s all counted. Beautiful-Ladies.com give user the opportunity to communicate via offline message and nothing else, this is again very poor as this also make a lot of difference to visitor base.
There is separate section of free online chat that help users to chat online but that is under testing.
Other Features
Apart from main goal of the site it also needs to provide feature that appeals a lot to members to stay long. Unfortunately site does not have any such feature that makes user stick to this site. These days free dating sites provides blog, forum and dating tips to help online singles to do well on dating online sites.

Member Base
Site has very poor member base and majority of user are from different age group i.e. 18-24 and 45-54. This is very unusual trend. Site has majority of members from USA and than from other parts of Africa.
Longevity
While doing the review we could not find a single member online and not sure people are coming back to site in search of their soul mate. Site does not score well in this department.

Conclusion
Look and feel of the site is not attractive and need a good make over. Registration is a 2 step process and can take 2-3 minutes to finish, however while doing the registration you have to type in your details into a text form and does not give you any predefined options such as drop-down menus. This is very unusual for any free dating sites as it can minimize the user registration time and give a pleasing experience to new users.
Privacy features are not the part of this free online dating sites, beautiful-ladies.com and that makes your profile vulnerable to spammers as well as scammers. Uploading your photo is also very much odd, as you can upload only one profile photo and that is only possible from your computer. Forget about using the tools of social networking like Facebook as used by Jumpdates which can save the user valuable time.
Searching also needs a makeover as you can search only by age range, location and relationship type. Free online dating sites, Beautiful-Ladies.com have a very poor member base and even less active users. You could do better with the many of the other free dating sites that we have reviewed in our collection of reviews in our blog.
