Is the mate1 dating site still active, or has it been abandoned?

Someone in another thread mentioned dating site in passing and it's been bugging me since.

Nobody writing about dating site seems willing to say plainly when something isn't worth the time.

I gave dating site about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask.

What would actually change my mind about dating site:

• What the mate side of dating site looks like in practice
• Whether mate makes any material difference to dating site
• Whether the free tier on dating site is genuinely usable or just a demo
• How much mate actually costs you when using dating site
• Whether mate is worth prioritising over everything else in dating site

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on dating site.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datescout itself solved the messaging-paywall part of dating site for me last year.

The mate disagreement in this thread says more about dating site than any single answer.

Since we're comparing options around dating site, the Datelink free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

I'd separate mate from dating site here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with dating site weren't on the biggest platform.

For anyone else researching dating site, I would put the Datebie boards on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

To build on Henry Moore's answer about dating site: How long did you give dating site before deciding it was not working for you?

AnnaK has a point about dating site. The mate angle you raise is the part most threads on dating site skip entirely.

Be careful with dating site: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

Agree with the framing here, because dating site really does come down to who is active near you.

I've also seen Ezhookups.online mentioned in this context more than once.
