To register for your MatureDating account, you’ll only need to state what gender you are and what gender you’re seeking, your age (not date of birth), email, a password, and your general location to top it all off. This will create a member login you can use as your mobile login for the Mature Dating app.
Once you activate your account using your email, you’ll be asked to upload a photo and fill out a few basic details of who you are, such as your ethnicity, body type and hair color. There’s also the option to write a “status,” or something to get anyone that sees your dating profile to think on it a bit or maybe a joke to show off your sense of humor. Whatever you write, make sure it says something about who you are. If it helps, think of it as a small icebreaker.
Once you’ve created a profile, you can go ahead and search profiles of the other users.
Unlike other dating sites, there isn’t a requirement for users to answer a variety of profile questions beyond a few basic facts like ethnicity and hair color. This is handy because it lets you focus on others rather than spending an hour agonizing over how to best present yourself when a photo and a quick blurb can still be effective.
The free account features on MatureDating allow for you to use the website at a decent capacity in order to find possible matches with the other users without having to pay a dime, but sadly, the use withholding of the chat function means you can’t actually interact with any of the other users. That said, these free account features aren’t often found in websites that offer a basic plan and a premium plan for more features or better services, MatureDating at least seems to understand that it’s easier to start something new with dipping your toes in a little before taking a plunge which is why they offer a three-day trial for $5. If you find that you didn’t like the service, you won’t feel like you wasted your time or money, so it’s a win-win for everyone.
For things like unlimited chats, bigger photos, access to “looking for” info, an extended search function, premium support, and the ability to share photos and videos in chat, you’ll pay about $35 per month. You get more savings if you choose to go with their three-month offer of $60, which is $20 per month, or you’ll find even more savings at their six-month offer of $95, which ends up being a little less than $16 a month when averaged out.
All you need to know to learn how to use MatureDating’s search is to press “find.” With the information you’ve already put in to your account in the registration process. You don’t so much search by city as you search by the general location you entered for where you are. From there, you can go ahead and search profiles!
For how to message someone on MatureDating, there is an option labeled “chat” on the profile previews right next to the option to send them a wink. For messaging them on their profile page, the same icon is located to the right of their icon.
Though there are usernames, there does not seem to be an option to search by username. You can search mobile using the Mature Dating app, if you’re mainly a smartphone or tablet user.
As for how to cancel your MatureDating account, click on your icon in the upper right hand corner and select “My Settings” from the dropdown menu that appears. Scroll to the bottom and click on the option “Remove Account.”
MatureDating.com is a great place to start if you’re a mature adult looking for a serious relationship with another adult. There is a variety of users to search through and find, which allows mature LGBT users to have access to a wider pool. While some features need to be unlocked with a basic payment plan, it’s upfront in the fact you’ll need to pay and the amount will remain consistent, unlike dating apps that say they’re free but make using them impossible unless you pay for consumable privileges. It treats its users like real people rather than faces to “swipe left” on, letting you linger and return to matches at your own pace.
