Arablounge Review

What is ArabLounge.com?

ArabLounge.com is a dating site dedicated to Arab singles on the hunt for a life partner. The site currently has 470,000 members with somewhere around 61,000 members at any given moment. Although the site is meant for Arab singles around the world, it is mostly popular within the United States.

Site members average 24-35 years old, with 45% of users made up of women and 55% of men. The dating platform is truly meant for Arab singles, but the site claims to be tolerant of non-Arabs on the site as well.

Sign-up Process

For the most-part, I tend to write reviews on sites that have a fast and easy sign-up process, but this is not the case for ArabLounge. After sharing the essentials, like email, name, age, location, password creation etc., the ArabLounge.com sign in process is pretty lengthy.

There are 11 different rounds of questioning before you are able to start browsing profiles on the site. It’s pretty intense, I know, but this process ensures that the site algorithms have all it needs to find you the best possible matches.

Many reviews on ArabLounge make mentions of how the questions get progressively more detailed throughout all of the rounds. You’re asked a myriad of things about yourself, including what language you speak and/or understand, your political views, a list of your favorite things and hobbies, and a lot more.

I can’t tell you that this sign-up process will take a set amount of time, but only that you should start the ArabLounge sign in process when you don't have any pressing matters to attend to. The site is looking for detailed descriptions to questions like, “What is your best attribute?” You’ll have the pick one and share why this is your best attribute, and I’m sure this can be challenging for many.

ArabLounge Website Usability

ArabLounge com is sleek and modern with theme colors of red and green. It’s clutter free, and with the bright green navigation bar at the top of the page, it's very easy to find your way through the site. There are only 8 pages to access on the menu bar, your homepage, Inbox, Activity, Matches, Search, Community, Photo Slideshow, and Profile.

After sign-in you will land on your homepage where you are shown photos of members who are currently online. It’s simple, and I’m a fan of sites that make it easy on the eyes.

ArabLounge Profiles

Thanks to the in-depth questionnaire all new members fill out during registration, the profiles are in-depth and really give a good idea of the person behind the photo. Just about every profile I came across shared a short description of themselves and some words on what they are looking for in a partner.

There are several dedicated sections on subjects like lifestyle, behavior patterns, hobbies, and romance. You can even discover someone's zodiac sign on their profile - a great way to determine if someone is a good match for those who follow the stars.

ArabLounge Features

As I mentioned earlier on in this ArabLounge.com review, this site is straightforward, so there aren’t many exciting features available. But, quite honestly, the features on this site are solid and add to an easy and insightful online dating experience.

The Personality match feature presents you with matches made based off of the information shared at sign up. On the other end, the Reverse Match feature presents you with members who are looking with someone like you, according to the information they shared during sign-up.

The Photo Slideshow feature is a swiping game: if you like what you see in the photo, swipe right, otherwise, swipe left to continue looking through member photos. You will be able to see who has liked or favorited you and vice versa.

The Success Stories feature shares stories of members who have found love on the dating site. It’s heartwarming and really does give off a feeling of hope that you may find your perfect match too.

And as for the ArabLounge App, well contrary to what I read on another ArabLounge review, there is no App available to download. I’m always disappointed when a promising dating site doesn't have an app available. It just makes staying connected and keeping conversations going so much simpler. Here’s to hoping that this site will release an app for its members sometime soon!

ArabLounge Payment/Costs

ArabLounge is free to join, and you even have a short free-trial of the site. But if you want to enjoy browsing the site and sending messages to possible future forever matches, you’ll need to pay for a premium membership.

As stated in other ArabLounge reviews, for the site's matching capability and the quality of the profiles, this platform is very fair with its pricing and has several subscriptions to choose from.

• 1 Month for $49.95
• 3 months for 37.02 per month
• 6 months for $30.83 per month
• 12 months for $24.84 per month

Once you pay for your membership, you have total access to the site's features.

As far as payment options, this site surprisingly has many options available. New members can mail in a check, send a wire transfer, pay via credit cards like Amex, Visa, Mastercard and Discover, and even pay via phone on their American hotline.

If paying by credit card or Paypal, your memberships will automatically renew at the end of your subscription if you don't cancel before then. And another important note, this site offers absolutely no refunds.

ArabLounge Safety

ArabLounge keeps members' data safe with SSL Encryption and promises not to share your information with any third parties. Arab Lounge com also has 24/7 online support to assist members with any issues or questions. This last bit is a big one for me. I understand that not every website can provide this type of service, but I know site members feel secure and more willing to spend time on a platform that has online assistance. There are still tons of websites who’s only customer service is through email with extremely slow response times.

I agree with the other Arab Lounge reviews I’ve read that point out that the customer service is fast to respond too. I sent a message about making payment via wire transfer and received a response within 5-minutes. This is the type of support I wish was more readily available on other dating platforms especially the sites that have similar monthly fees.

Is ArabLounge Legit?

Now is the time to wrap up this ArabLounge review and ask the big question, “Is ArabLounge legit?” If you haven’t caught on by now, this review has been overwhelmingly positive. ArabLounge is, in fact, legit.

It is a simple dating site, but it has everything you need in order to build connections with potential love matches. And even more important, the site’s questionnaire that you have to fill up at registration really helps to create in-depth profiles that allow us to get to know other members. The profile content is so in-depth that many will be able to determine whether there is a chance to have a connection with a site member or not, based on the information given alone. This means that you're wasting less time speaking to people you will likely never want to meet in person.

The site is not perfect, of course. Hardly any of these sites are. Perhaps it could use a couple of special features, and an ArabLounge App would be very welcomed, but the customer service and profile quality alone make this a pretty solid dating site.

So if you’re an Arab single, or even a non-Arab who is attracted by Arab culture, ArabLounge is an online dating space that may very well help to shape your future.
