Mate1

This site tends to attract people seeking casual dating and online chat rather than committed relationships. It is one of the most active dating sites in the US, and claims to have around 20 Million users. However the true number is likely to be significantly less. A trial membership is available at USD$ 1.95 for 3 days.

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...

Mate1

Mate1 is an online dating service where singles anywhere can find a well suited match for friendship or romance. Upon joining the site free of charge, one can create a voice profile complete with up to twenty photos. This allows site members to personalize their profile and make it as detailed as they please. Once their profile is finished, members can find a compatible match and get in touch using the site's email or chat features. If a match works out, a member can place the person on their Hot List. If not, they can stick them on their Block List.

The site follows an easy to navigate format and offers a place where members can meet new people or just meet up with friends.

Mate1.com offers a three day trial to newcomers for $1.95. Unfortunately, the full cost of membership is not displayed anywhere on the site until you sign-up for the trial and enter your credit card details. The trial is however an effective way to explore the features and offerings of the site with little commitment, providing you note the cancellation terms.

As well as a basic search facility, a number of useful options are provided that allow you to browse profiles by country, city, keyword or nickname. Mate1 is a very big site. With the site claiming that they have around 20 million members, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding girlfriends, boyfriends, new mates, or even romance and love.

    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!

    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.

    I started using Mate1.com and it is really easy to use. I love it. I can chat with people and look at tons of pics. It's kind of awesome. I have had my account for like, 3 months now and I chat regularly with a few girls. I have also been on dates! I think it's important for people to know about it- it's such a great website! I had never heard about Mate1 before my buddy told me, but now that i know about Mate1, I'm so happy, because it is the best.

    I have been using Mate1 for about a year. I love its chat room and it doesn't have sucky questions for you to answer. There are tons of hot girls and the site is easy to use. Good vibe. I recommend it!

    Mate1 is a mixed bag. There are real people on the site. Unfortunately, con-artists and cam-girls overwhelm the place. Every time I go on the site, I'm hit up with chat requests from women who want me to pay to see their sexy shows. I expect more from a site that charges me 50 bucks a month.

    Watch out for the 3 day trial membership. If you don't actually cancel it during the 3 days, Mate1 will charge you 50 bucks every month until you tell them to stop.

    I've rated this site but, I can't get hold of customer service to upgrade me.
    responses to my profile have been great.

    Mate 1 is a scam, and basically lures men with fake female members and should you cancel your trial membership, they will attempt to try and charge you for the next month.

    If you’re looking to meet new people from all around the world mate1 is a great site. But if you’re looking for something real, long term, I don't think mate1 has it. I’ve been an active member the past 2 months and all I’ve come in contact with are sex crazed men who only have one thing on the brain sex, sex, and more sex.

    I've been in Las Vegas a little over 2 months. I'm looking for a 1 on 1 relationship with someone who is looking for the same! I was in Fort Collins Co. for 2 years before moving here. Before that I lived in Flagstaff Az. for 14 years. I'm currently waiting for a job in Kauai to start. I'm a 30 year carpenter. If I find the right person would consider taking her with me. I'm not a player nor do i want to hook up with one. Looking for the real deal!
