Miner Singles

Miner Singles is a dating site for the students, alumni and friends of University of Texas at El Paso. The site is very easy to navigate and has nice look and feel to it, but it has a bit of a problem. Almost all of the members in the site live in the area of the university. That is great news if you happen to live there, but not so great news if you live anywhere else.

Signing up for this site is a quick and easy deal. The member profiles in the site can be very detailed, but they do let you fill in all that detail after you have registered. Once you are inside the site you will find some very good search options. The basic search allows you to search by age range and distance from you. If you do fill in all the detail on your profile then you can use the Super Match feature which takes the information from your profile and uses it to match you with others. You can do all the searches you want and look at other people's profiles for free, but you will have to get a paid membership if you want to contact someone from the site directly. While the search features are nice, they are the only real features in the site. There is no chat or IM or anything else.

When it came time to give this site a score I did score it on the low end. The reasons for this is that the score reflects how good the site will be for the general population. This site simply will not be that good for most people because they live outside of the target area for this site which means there won't be any other members around them. Add in the lack of any extra features and those not living near the school will have no real reason to join this site. However, if you live near the school or are affiliated with it, then this is a site you should check out. You can get a free membership and give it a test drive before committing to anything and if you are in the area then you have a nice pool of established members to contact and hook up with.
