Mate1
"Mate1.com is committed to finding a solution for its members and offers some of the best Customer Support available in the online dating industry" you know you're so full of ****. Why not charge women too so con-artists and cam-girls won't overwhelm the place? Chat requests from women from Russia, Philippe so many from south east Asia, why? Either this site is a scam or it's free so it attracts cons.
Mate1
Too deceptive, should disclose pricing upfront, none of this "three day trial" nonsense.
Was disturbed that I was getting chat request from women in their 20s and not in the same country. Also don't understand why they'd charge guys $50 and ladies are free. Too many completely obvious fake/inactive profiles and constant requests to sign up, even after I cancelled and told them to stop sending me email.
Don't waste your time or money guys. Girls, you're free so have all the fun you want.

This site has been a real let down, I canceled my 3 day $1.95 trial & was charged $49.95. I am presently disputing this, I should have researched this site online first & I would have seen all the complaints. It is full of spammers and scammers, it is twice as much as other sites but offers much less. A big joke! Don't waste your money!
Mate1
I am recommending this site be avoided. I have had the same problem as others who have signed up for the trial period and have been charged for a whole month. I have filed a dispute case with my bank and am awaiting resolution. Bad Site! There are plenty of other sites (I have tried a few with no problems) and this is the only one that seems to be bogus.
Mate1
I put up my profile on this site in the Fall of 2009. I accumulated a number of messages, so decided to become an active member around the first of the year, 2010. I frequently get messages from Mate1, saying "Interested in so-and-so? Send her an E-mail." When I check that user's profile, I usually see that she has not been active on the site for over three weeks, the highest threshold of inactivity listed on the site. You'd think that Mate1 would only send you ticklers of users who are active on the site.
Also, when I am composing an E-mail to a user on the site, I frequently get a pop-up window saying "so-and-so would like to chat with you." A few vital statistics are given in this window, one of which is not so-and-so's ethnicity. In almost all cases, it turns out that the person requesting chat is 1) a West African (largely Ghana, but sometimes Nigeria) scammer, or 2) a webcam stripper soliciting business. The scammers are pretty easy to detect, as they do not post a photo in their profile, and answer the questions in their profile with "Rather Not Say". The other day, I was on the computer in the afternoon and evening, and accumulated 18 reports to Mate1 of abuse by users initiating chat requests. You always get an automated acknowledgement from Mate1 when you submit an abuse report, and in the beginning, I would get a follow-up from someone in Mate1's Customer Service department. But lately, I've been getting no follow-ups.
In summary, Mate1 is a swamp of West African scammers and webcam strippers trolling for business. I'd have to say that fewer than 10% of the contacts I have made on this site are actually legitimate users in search of a date/relationship.
