Lavalife Complaints & Reviews

Seth Brody - Salt Lake City, UT June 12, 2011

After hearing my roommate’s positive reviews of Lavalife I was anxious to give it a try. As a non-Mormon in a heavily Mormon area, my dating options are limited. I’d tried some different matchmaking possibilities in the past, notably through my church’s youth group, but I was frustrated by the fact that the women didn’t match my expectations. The majority seemed to think that their only goal in life was to get married and start having babies. I wanted to find a real soulmate, someone who would be my friend, companion and partner. THEN we could have babies. After listening to my complaint, even my Pastor suggested that I give Lavalife a shot. There weren’t a lot of non-Mormon women registered on Lavalife who were living in Salt Lake City but there were a couple in my age range and I went out with several of them. I’m presently seeing one woman seriously and while we don’t agree on everything, I do feel that there’s a possibility for a future together.
