Pearz calls itself "a unique, whole-person approach to meeting people!"
It's free to join, and list your full set of profiles and photos. In order to contact others, you must purchase a premium membership. The cost is much less than at other dating sites, just $9/mo. to $36/yr, which may be because their membership is on the small side.
They say, "Most of our members stay involved over a number of months, the same as they would in most social clubs, dance, or recreation classes where people often meet."
The site is "alternative-friendly," which means they include people into BDSM or fetishes, as well as people who are non-monogamous, but there's no veneer of sleaze -- quite refreshing.
J.H., a 30-year-old bi woman in CA, met her sweetie on Pearz two years ago. She says, "I liked the winks and embedded mail within the site. You didn't need to bounce out to your mail client to do things." She was a free member, but says, "If it were now, I would pay to get those extras."
Of her experience, she says, "I talked with a few guys, batted away a few trolls. Ven and I emailed for a good 6 months. Not chat, just email. Then one day he called and we met up. He
drove to Redding from the Bay Area and it has been like lightning ever since."
