Why serious daters get tired of most apps
You want a partner, not a pen pal and not a fling. But on many apps you cannot tell who is serious. People chat for weeks and then disappear. Some are not even single. Some are not even real. After a while, it feels like a waste of evenings.
Intentions on every profile
On MatureMeet every member picks one of four intentions, and it shows on their profile:
- Long-term relationship
- Marriage
- Companionship
- Friendship first
You can filter for the intentions you want and add dealbreakers, such as smoking, children at home, faith or distance. You only spend time on people who want the same kind of future.
Compatibility built for a real relationship
The 40-question compatibility test looks at the things that make or break a serious relationship after 40:
- Family, children and grandchildren
- Money habits and how you like to live
- Where you want to live in the next 10 years
- Faith and values
- Free time, travel and health
- How you deal with disagreements
Each match comes with a short reason in plain words. It gives you something real to talk about on day one.
A serious relationship dating site needs real people
Seriousness is not only about intentions. It is about knowing that the person is real. Every MatureMeet member passes a selfie check matched to their photos and confirms a phone number before they can message. Members can add an ID badge. Our rules ask every member to be single and free to date. Learn more about our verified profiles.
Hear and see the person before the date
Voice notes and a 60-second video intro help you sense warmth, humor and honesty, things a photo cannot show. Swapping a few voice notes before you agree to meet is a good habit. It saves both of you from a first date that was never going to work.
When you want help from a professional
If you are serious but short on time, VIP Concierge gives you a personal matchmaker who screens members for you and hand-picks up to 4 introductions a month, each with a written reason. See our matchmaking service for over 50.
A paid site keeps people serious
There is no free plan on MatureMeet. A paid membership keeps out people who are only browsing and many scammers. Premium is $39 a month, or $19 a month billed yearly at $228. VIP Concierge is $149 a month, or $74 a month billed yearly at $888. See all mature dating site pricing.
