The Fusion101 Review
In a world of speed dating full of naughty moments and intense flirting, it can come as quite a pleasant surprise when you stumble across a Christian dating site. Fusion101 is a Christian site that truly sticks to its morals and the down to earth running of the site makes the experience quite relaxed and pleasant. It isn’t without its outdated quirks but the simple layout and free subscription make it accessible to so many ages and people. They cater to many subsections of Christianity so you are sure to find singles that match your values. Although, do not use this site if you are not Christian and you are looking for something different. There is a clear emphasis of this on the site and going on expecting to find a quick fling will undoubtedly end in disappointment. If you are not Christian then this fusion101 review isn’t for you, but you are welcome to read on to see what this other dating world is like.
How does fusion101 work? Let’s get into it.
Pros of Fusion101.com
The very first positive thing shown when signing up to fusion101 is that they check you understand what the site believes in and that It is Christian dating site, the reason this is good is that it filters out people who aren’t religious and might get put off by this and also people who are looking for a quick fling. So straight away you know that the people on the site are going to have similar morals and values to you. They also say that in joining you declare not to going to pressure members into intimacy. Once again this is great and will really filter out the people who have perhaps more sinister intentions. Another positive aspect of Fusion101 is that once you have registered and your account has been approved you receive a message on your account about general safety tips and things to avoid. This is above and beyond what other dating sites do and it’s a brilliant way of warning people about the dangers on the internet.
Cons of Fusion101.com
When you initially register your account they claim that as there is only one person who runs and looks after the site, your profile can take 5-10 days to be verified. This wait time seems like an awfully long time and if you were creating this account in the sour of the moment, it may mean that you can lose interest. However, on this occasion the wait was only 2 days but this may change depending on the time of the year and the workload. So keep this in mind when you decide to create your account. Another fall down of the site is that the layout, design and atmosphere are pretty dated, so if you are looking for something flashy and professional looking then you may be a little disappointed. On the other hand, the outdated and ‘basic’ website allows for many ages groups to use this dating site with a lot of comforts. So if you are towards the end of your middle ages or up then the sites clear and limited options will make the adjustment incredibly easy.
Registratoon Process
The registration process is relatively simple and matches those of other sites (for example name, age, gender and email address). The member login is located at the top of the page and is pretty explicit, but you can also click the link located just beneath the login to create an account. Fusion101 doesn’t seem to have an app on the iOS store so I cannot comment on the mobile login, however, the chances are that if they did have an app it would be as simple as the desktop site.
Creation of a Profile
Now the details needed to create a profile are pretty extensive but they shouldn’t take you too long. The most time consuming of this is a section that asks you for 21 details about yourself and are things such as eye colour, drinking habits (if any) and your personality type. These profile questions are typical of a dating site so they shouldn’t throw you off too much. If you want to upload a photo to your dating profile you will have to do that once your account has been approved and that alone can take around 3 days to get authorised.
Pricing Plans
Fusion101 runs independently so they do not actually have an exclusive membership or a subscription that you can pay for. However, you can donate to the man who runs the site and he only asks for £1 which seems incredibly reasonable if that is his only income for the dating website.
Search Options
If you are wondering how to search on fusion101 then all you need to do is click the magnifying glass icon located in the top right-hand corner. From there the only refinement they ask for is gender, age and country. You can’t seem to be able to search profile or for usernames so once you come across someone you like to make sure you ‘favourite’ their profile! Moving on to how to message someone then you might be a little bit disappointed as the messaging system leaves something to be desired. When you find a profile of someone you like and you want to message them, then you need to hit the email button. When they say email, they really mean email. You are redirected to another part of the dating site that allows you to fill out a subject bar and then you have to construct the message. The reason this isn’t an amazing way to do it is that it adds a whole new layer of pressure to messaging on a dating site and makes it feel a lot more impersonal. You shouldn’t judge the site on this feature, however, be aware of it and do not expect a communication system like Facebook.
How to Delete an Account
If you are wondering how to cancel your fusion101 account then you will be pleased to know that it is incredibly easy to do and will be done before you know it! Simply click on the settings icon located in the top right-hand corner of the website, then from there click the link that says ‘Deactivate profile’. From there you will be given four options: ‘hide profile’, ‘make profile social’, ‘deactivate profile’ and ‘close my account’. If you want a clean break and you no longer want your account in any form then you want to click ‘Close my account’. You are then given a time and date that it will close and then you can no longer recover it. The multiple options when closing your account really works in the website favour, as you don’t always want to close off your account completely but you do need a break. The fact that they give you this option is unlike any other dating app!
Final thoughts on Fusion101.com
Fusion101 overall is a very good dating site and really caters to their demographic. They may be stuck on the past a little bit and the website may be a little dated but with manpower of just one you can’t help but feel a little bit impressed with the response time. Not to mention the fact that the person who does run it isn’t after your money and only asks for a small donation if you can spare it. If you are a single Christian and you want a safe and friendly platform to meet other Christian singles then I think this is one of your best options!
