Third time I have tried to get a straight answer on used the mate1 dating site recently. Anyone comparing mate1 dating site should be looking at how aggressive the upsell gets once you are past sign-up before anything else.
The reason I am asking about mate1 dating site at all is that the answers split by city and by year, and that is exactly the gap I am trying to close. The thing that decides it for mate1 dating site is how quickly the fake accounts surface in practice.
Where I'd start with mate1 dating site before committing:
- Track whether last-active timestamps look plausible before deciding whether it is worth paying for
- Work out how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands and write the answer down
- Check what the filters do after a page refresh before deciding whether it is worth paying for
- Count whether replies are open before you finish the profile before deciding whether it is worth paying for
- Confirm whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out with the age filter set narrow
For anyone still using mate1 dating site, was it worth the setup time? Praise and complaints equally useful. Actual numbers are worth more than any review site.
