Christian Mingle was launched in 2001 and is headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, as part of Spark Networks' niche-focused dating portfolio. The platform serves a community of millions of Christian singles and stands out by offering features tailored to faith-based matchmaking, such as specifying denomination, listing church involvement, and filtering for shared spiritual values. Its services include both web and mobile access, profile verification, and targeted match suggestions based on faith-compatible criteria. Over time, it has obtained industry recognition and developed a reputation among faith-centred dating services. This overview invites a deeper look into how its features, interface, and community experience align with the specific needs of Christian singles.
DateMyAge is a mature adult-oriented dating site and app owned by Dating Group (also parent to Dating.com). Launched in 1993, it boasts over 1 million members worldwide. The platform allows mature singles (primarily aged 40 and above) to create profiles, browse others’ profiles, and communicate via various tools (instant chat, video chat, email, gift sending, etc.). Basic registration and some features are free, but most communication requires purchasing credits or a monthly membership. The app and website are available in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, French, German) and target a global audience. Users on DateMyAge report mixed experiences. The company advertises strong safety measures (e.g., government ID verification, anti-scam systems) and “24/7 customer support,” and some members praise the ease of use and extensive search filters. However, community feedback on Trustpilot and app stores highlights serious concerns about fake profiles, aggressive upselling, and unclear pricing. This review covers DateMyAge’s background, features, pricing, customer feedback and support, and the pros and cons of using the service.
