Mate1.com Dating Site Review

Mate1.com is a site in the ‘build your own experience’ category. Rather than relying on a long, complex personality test, Mate1 signs users up right away and lets them build a profile they’re comfortable with presenting to the world. Mate1 has plenty of features available, not skimping on clever ideas. In addition to the traditional profile and picture hosting, Mate1 offers members the chance to make a voice recording that prospective dates can play. A small touch it may be, but it adds to the experience and may be an easier step for people eager to communicate with available prospects without going through the very personal and sometimes complicated process of making a video. This is in addition to the best dating site conveniences – secure, on-site email that doesn’t give away your home email address, an on-site chatroom, a hotlist and a blocklist for the best and worst searches, and a quick search function for the days users feel like changing things up a bit.

Mate1 has thousands of active members, and returns searches quickly. The site does include Google adbars to the right and left of the user console, but these are context-sensitive ads displaying local and exotic dating opportunities for the romantic and the adventuresome. Site navigation is quick and intuitive, with the control panels remaining constant while the display in the center updates depending on request.

Signing up comes with a clever feature – the first page automatically detects the user’s location (presumably through an IP check) and recommends the available cities that a user from the state in question can choose from. From there, signup is a simple process of submitting some basic personal appearance information and email details, and takes about five minutes all told.

Currently it’s free to join at mate1 online dating service but full membership is free for ONLY female members. This is one of the reason that there are lots of female members registered to their system. While some of the features such as the email and on-site chat -do- require signing up and paying the subscription fee, Mate1 has a very nice 3 day trial feature. Users can try out the more advanced features of the site risk free for a couple days, and decide if they’re interested in using the service long term. Not many online dating sites offer a deal, and the curious should definitely take advantage of the offer to see what kind of love is waiting for them.

As the site offers a free user trial, there’s no reason -not- to give Mate1 a try. With a quick search that can narrow down a number of preferred details, and with little extra features to make the experience more enjoyable, it is a site worth at least a trial run, and possibly a deeper look as well.
