Tickle Social Network
Comment from a user: My friends and I have found a lot of success with Tickle, a pay site for all but the simplest of things (browsing, but no "True Match" test compatibility, email, or other contact methods). It's probably got more of an older crowd, edging into the 30s, 40s, and even older in some cases. Like most other dating sites, it features picture-based, user-defined profiles, and a series of tests to try to match you to other people that would fit your wants and needs. The site claims that they had psychiatrists design their main matching criteria - True Match - and hosts a large range of auxiliary tests that are supposed to give more information about you to potential mates. In order to make full use of the site, though, you need to pay the fee.
LiveJournal (a weblog or blog) Mostly for college & teens.
Comment from User: Here in Huntsville, I know that there's a significant LiveJournalpresence in at least a couple of interests. A few of them, like
http://www.livejournal.com/community/huntsvegas/, http://www.livejournal.com/community/huntsville/, and http://www.livejournal.com/community/i_love_al/ are for the announcement of local events, shows, and other things that might be of interest to the youth trapped in this town (where there will almost certainly be single people). In another, related vein, the underground music scene of Alabama is explored at
http://www.livejournal.com/community/alunderground/. You might be surprised to even know that we have an underground scene.

One reader's comments: Although I'm happily married and not looking, the times we've had at the FF have reminded us of the old days at Crockmeirer's, where single women can feel safe and there are tons of people meeting each other in the baby-boomer age range and younger. Add in some great bands and a beautiful outdoor patio, and you can't beat it!
