Hats off to MDates Business Model

Boys, Men who are looking for Love, Dating, Romance, Marriage, if you have come to Mdates, you have come to a very wrong place.

This is not a Dating site, it is just a chat site which offers chat service in exchange for money. MDates is a Netherlands registered company (may be even this information may be totally false and masked, but the actual owner and server can be anywhere).

Here's the analysis and the operating Business model of MDate-
1. Women can register as part time workers whose only job is to lure Men into chat
2. Men looking for dates think actually these are Women also looking for Dates, but it's not, they are working part time or full time for MDates. So bascially they are doing a job to earn a living. They chat with you more, they get paid more, because you will have to keep buying coins.
3. MDates charges £5.00 for 170 points. Each message costs you 50 points. So, each message costs in money terms- £1.47
4. 30% is paid out Women for luring men into chat (and of course to keep their mouth shut) and 70% goes to MDates Owner/s
5. On an average, the estimated Traffic in a given 24 hours may be anywhere between 100,000 to 300,000 (Men looking for Dates)
6. On an Average considering 250,000 Men/members (not the women) messaging 30 messages each, in 24 hours duration MDates Owner/s makes £11,029,411 (250,000 men * 30 messages * £1.47 per message). So you can do the math of their Monthly and Yearly Revenues. All thanks to the wonderful gift of technology, such Business booms. Nothing illegal, but an amazing way to fool desperate Men searching for Love. This is 21st century boys, wake up. We can create a Super model using photoshop programs. We don't need to wait for Claudia Schiffer or Kate Moss to take 14-18 years to bloom :) It's a virtual destructive world we are living in.
7. On their operating costs, they might be hosted on a Cloud platform for sure as costs are amazingly cheap compared to hosting their own server.
8. Stand by Support engineers assisted by RPA Software Robots monitor and fix the issues.
9. Considering a 5% costs (which is actually on the higher side, it will be much lesser) + 30% commission for the women for luring Men into chat and buying coins, MDates makes around £7,169,117 in a month for a given population of 250,000 visitors, actually not offering anything but chat which you can do it on any chat programs for free :) So, esentially you are paying for the web pages and the chat experience with the Women. Nothing more.
10. A good old fashioned way of meeting women which will never change ever and has existed from last 7000 years of human civilization is to actually make eye contact, smile and MEET IN PERSON and say Hello, not on a web page run by Software Bots :)
Good luck boys!

This site has been built to take your money and that is it. The women are fake and never meet you. This can be seen in the site if you look close enough at the style. I have tried to delete my account and they try to say it will take a few business days to do that. Well .. that doesn't happen. They won't let you delete it and the notifications keep on coming. Not professional.

Nothing but a con

Nothing but a con! I'm in my 40's recently divorced and was not looking for a relationship just a bit of fun, joined 'mdates' as it seamed to offer what i was looking for, got chatting to a lady who appeared interested, but her only addenda was to keep me buying tokens to continue chatting, she was just a stooge employed by 'mdates' for that purpose.
Absolutely disgusting, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

It is a total deceptive fraud they are not genuine dates but cover ups using other sites info and pics
All the women want you to remain on the chat to be milked of coins, meaning excessive charges for just a normal chat. If you confront the women they’d do not understand or they try all kind of tricks to keep you on the chat ONLY. One even talking about sex positions I didn’t know? Lol
I have demanded a total refund of my useless chats ..
They are all frauds exploiting peoples looniness nothing is genuine they are all mafias using many cover ups to deceive peoples.
It is a total fraud to be reported to the police

It may be heart-breaking to hear this

It may be heart-breaking to hear this, especially if you have already fallen for these women, but this is just a money-making scam machine with fake profiles. You'll never meet them. Mdates women look gorgeous, but the problem is they are not real. It's just photos. The person hiding behind these photos chatting to you is a different woman or a man who is nothing more than a con artist working for Mdates website.

Be Warned!

Be warned! This site charges you per message. I spent £10 and sent eight messages. The women on the site are not interested in meeting. They are interested in finding any excuse to keep you chatting.

There are lots of people who will be happy to chat with you until your money runs out. You are much better off on a free chat site.

It is totally full of fake women, who don't even have the common sense of taking a picture of themselves without checking the background then telling you that they live in the same area as you. Totally money making machine

Its the best dating site i have used so far. The interface is very clean and user friendly thats what makes browsing the site and registration a treat to use. Adding to all there are a lot of users already which makes it easier and faster to fine someone. Great site

Mdates women are not sincere. They fib about everything, especially their location.

They speak in short burst and prefer to remain vague about anything personal. Something is definitely wrong with women on Mdates. I suspect that they have some kind of financial motivation to use this site. I was asked for money directly only couple of times. But my gut feeling (and common sense too) is telling me that they are paid by the site for comunication with the men and for keeping them hooked. Otherwise I don't understand why they all fall in love with but neither of them wants to meet me in real life.

All the women on the site are fake They just want you to buy coins to chat.If you ask to meet them they just say they don't know you enough and then just carry on chatting.
If you look at the information on their site they admit it's not real women who report. They might be women but not the one in the picture.
They are in fact actors who just answer.So it's not a real dating site.You will never meet a woman on there!

A scam site of the worst kind. Delete your contact infos.

Mdates started ok, easy to work ................but. The women on the site are always there? How can that be? They are available at all times 24/7! Even during work hours they are on all day long. I had to realize it is a scam site, but until I found out, I spent a lot of money.TI have been writing with hundreds of women in the last week. But not even one woman will share email, Skype, Messenger of FB. They all want to be safe on the site, they claim with one voice. The woman looked lovely, but were they just pics, and the writers employed persons? Now I attended a free dating site instead called vidamora.com. Also Connecting Singles is a totally free dating site. Goodbye Mdates and shame on you for taking my money without any real woman on the site. Maybe a few was for real, because they said you deleted my email, when I tried to get in free contact with a few women. How is it possible to meet, if you delete the contact infos to meet.
