Mastadon Singles

Mastadon Singles is a dating site that helps the students, staff and friends of Purdue University at Fort Wayne get together. The site has a nice clean design and looks really good. I found signing up for the free membership to be a fast and painless process. You can add a lot of detail to your membership if you want, but they let you skip most of this during the sign up if you want. I like that feature a lot because it doesn't force you to spend a lot of time filling in a profile for a site you may not use. Which is something that really comes into play with this site. Almost all of the members of this site live in the area of the university which means if you don't live in that area chances are there will not be any other members near you.

If you do live in the correct area you will find this site very easy to use. You can search the other members of the site using a basic search which allows you to search by age range and distance from you or you can use the Smart Match option which uses the details from your profile to better match you with others. If you are going to use the Super Match feature you will need to fill in all the details on your profile for it to work as it is meant to. You can use the search options and look at other people's profiles for free, but you will need to get a paid membership if you want to contact other members directly. Sadly, as nice as these search options are, they are the only features this site has to offer.

In the end how well this site works for you is wholly dependent on where you live. If you live near the school then this is a decent site to check out because you have a nice collection of local members to contact. If you don't then the site really won't be of any use to you. Either way I would have liked to have seen some other features like chat or instant messaging offered as well. Due to the local nature and lack of extra features I scored this site on the low end. However, if you are in the correct area it is still worth checking out.
