An insider’s perspective on Match2Night.com

Pros and cons of Match2Night.com

A brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of Match2Night.com

Introduction

Match2Night.com does not have a specific domain name. It looks like a website for finding hookups. However, based on the information on the landing page, this is a website for finding a sex date with mature women. There were many clues that indicated this online dating platform was not genuine. After creating a profile to evaluate the website, I was able to confirm my suspicions. I found several warnings about a fake chat service. The gorgeous women who were featured in the members’ area did not look mature at all.

The company behind this dubious dating site is Mountain Top Digital AG, from Zug, Switzerland. I wasn’t able to figure out when it was launched originally. The only positive aspect that this site had was that if a user were to fall victim to the site’s fake chat services, there wouldn’t be any recurring charges or automatic payments involved.

Usability and design

First impression

At first glance, this platform seemed like a modern dating website for young adults. The landing page featured no photos of alleged members. Instead, it had designs and graphic images in pink, blue, and yellow tones. A message across the landing page claims this site is for connecting with mature women. The background images we see are hands holding two cell phones. One cellphone had an image of a man, while the other was of a woman. The man was portrayed wearing a modern blue suit, while the woman was portrayed as skinny with long hair and wearing a yellow bandeau top.

It wasn’t until I successfully registered for an account on this site that I could see the members’ area. Based on what I saw and the message on the landing page, this site seems to be for men who want to find mature women to date.

Navigation

This online dating platform wants users to answer a couple of questions once they have signed in. Like many other dating websites. I was also asked to confirm that I knew this site provided a fake chat service. Receiving explicit images was also part of the agreement. Based on prior experience reviewing dating websites, most users don’t bother reading the Privacy Policy. Sometimes, the complex paragraphs go over most people’s heads. The members’ area features busty women and a typical web layout recognizable on other online dating platforms.

Registration process

For potential users to sign up for this site, they need to click on where it says, “Click For Exclusive Access,” on the landing page. Users then have to come up with a username and provide their gender, and sexual preference. An email address must also be included, along with what state the user is currently residing in and date of birth. After creating a password and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, the user’s profile will be ready for use once they activate it through a confirmation email. I noticed that the fine print on the registration form mentioned the use of animators with whom real-life meetings are impossible to arrange.

General Terms and Conditions

The sentence above clearly explains that users would be conversing with fictitious profiles. As a result, users should not expect to meet real people on this website. According to the Terms and Conditions, users can also see that the site uses fictitious profiles if they read the disclaimer. I dislike the fact that the operator of the site does not disclose this information on much clearly. If users do not read the disclaimer or the Terms and Conditions, they may not realize that the site is filled with fake profiles.

Excerpt from the GTC

We use fictitious profiles to stimulate interaction and conversations among users like stated in our disclaimer.

Functions and tools

Main functions

There’s a navigation bar on top, showing features such as the Members section and “Hot or Not” where users can vote whether they like or dislike a profile. There is also something called “D-currency”. This is how users access their virtual “wallet” to see how many tokens they have, and top up if necessary.

On the left-hand side of the homepage, there’s a vertical navigation which includes access to the chat, friendship requests, and a hotlist with an overview of favorite users. Further, there is a stories section where members can post short status. The gallery displays the user photos. And finally, there are several options to enhance and change the profile settings.

Communication tools

The main communication tool is the chat feature. All the other elements are meant to encourage conversation among users via the chat service. The site also provides ice-breaker features such as the “Hot or Not” game and “Stories.” If a user were to like another profile or view the stories of another user, that other user would be supposedly notified. However, since other profiles are fake, users are meant to believe that other users are notified. If a user becomes a paying member, they can send text messages, emojis, and photos through the chat service. Users do not get any free messages that they can send out.

Special features

This website has no special features.

Security and data protection

Privacy policy

The Privacy Policy doesn’t really display anything meaningful. It contains standard text explaining the potential use of user data. This includes data actively provided by users such as their navigation patterns on the website, their contributions as users, and any information that involves third parties. In theory, this information should only be used to improve the overall experience for users.

Security measures

User information is supposedly safe on this online dating platform. Users also receive a notification via email claiming the operator of the site will not sell or rent out personal contact information for any marketing purposes. They also insist that users can trust them since all the information is encrypted and transmitted without risk using a Secure Sockets Layer protocol.

Target group analysis and matching quality

Demography

Match2Night.com was created for men who get turned on by mature women. Just by looking at the landing page, I didn’t really get the impression of that. The background image shows some designs and graphic images, but no members. Users do not get to see any alleged members until they actually sign in. The only part of the landing page that would indicate this site as being a place for mature dating is the text written on it, which states “Online Sex Contact With Mature Women.” The domain name is not very specific, but this site is only for adults.

Matchmaking algorithm

It does not have a matchmaking algorithm.

Costs and price-performance ratio

Free vs. paid functions

Users with a free profile can explore the website. They get to read the messages from fake profiles portrayed as eager users who want to hook up. It is possible to browse through the profiles and view them in its entirety. Free users can also play the Hot or Not game, where users can choose what kind of users they want to see. Finally, users can also see the Stories made by other users. However, when I used the site, I did not even have any free messages that I could send out.

Being able to send messages is the whole point of joining an online dating platform. Paying members are the only ones who are able to send messages on this site.

Price structure

There is only one way to send out messages, and it is to buy tokens that can be exchanged for sending out messages. Fortunately, purchasing tokens is a one-time fee with no recurring payments. These are the prices:

I do not know how many tokens are required per message. In order to make a purchase, users may pay with the most popular credit/debit cards (Mastercard, Visa, or Maestro). Alternatively, users can use Google Pay or Apple Pay. To keep a low profile, the bill will appear with the merchant name “dscsup.com” on our bank statement.

Conclusion and recommendations

Match2Night.com may look like an online dating platform, but it is just a fake chat service. After carefully considering both the pros and cons of this website, I must say that I am not impressed with the site’s services. Many people will probably ignore the fine print and proceed to use the website, unaware of the fictitious profiles.

After all, the general impression of the landing page is that this is a service for men who are into mature women. From what I have seen in the member’s area, there is a diversity of beautiful mature women, but these are probably fake users. This dating website was created by Mountain Top Digital AG, a company from Zug in Switzerland.
