One thing that I’ve noticed that plagues most dating apps (aside from those who never message back) are the dude-bros and the basic bitches. I, myself, am more of an outdoorsy kind of person. I’m more introspective, and I want someone who spends more time thinking than they do making protein shakes… if you’re like me, you’ve probably found yourself pretty bored with most dating apps.
So, when I came across Meet Mindful, I was kind of skeptical. How could this dating app possibly be different? How could this app not be plagued with girls and guys who think that going to a rave and doing 4 points of molly is the pinnacle of spiritual experiences? Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by what I found on Meet Mindful.
After poking around for a while, here’s what I’ve found.

First Impressions

The sign-up process for this app is no joke. This app isn’t going just going to let you log in with Facebook and call it good. You’re going to answer quite a few questions before you gain access to the people online. Like the site says, it’s Meet Mindful. So a lot of the questions they ask you as you’re signing up are indeed very thoughtful and require a little more than a second to think about.
After signing up and filling out my profile to near completion, I had access to the whole site. The kind of people you’re going to find on here are much more interesting than the kind you’ll find on Tinder or another hook up centered app. These people are indeed mindful of the world – and other people – and it’s reflected in their profiles. There are more than just frat boys, sorority girls, and general garbage people on here. There are people from various walks of life who work in fields across the board. There’s a wide selection to choose from.

Features

I signed up on the desktop app (I love me an app that has mobile and desktop capabilities!), and it’s really easy to navigate. Along the top are a few tabs that read Browse, Likes, Conversations, Settings, Upgrade, Profile. The browse page allows you to browse members, the likes page shows you who’s already liked you, and you can converse with your matches on the conversation page. Everything is super self-explanatory and easy to navigate.
Additionally, there’s a tab on the left side of the browse page where you can filter out your matches. The app already filters out stuff that you’ve marked as deal-breakers, but you can filter more depending on what you’re in the mood for at the time. Most of the profiles are very detailed (granted they’re filled out all the way) so it’s not too difficult to filter out people you’re not going to be compatible with at a base level.

The Be Naughty app review concluded that it is a convenient opportunity to stay in touch with your matches wherever you are. Review of the Website Subscription Options. Many popular dating websites offer two types of memberships – free and a paid one, and BeNaughty is not an exception. The mobile application of MeetMindful is free to download and compatible with both Android and IOS. Again, for progressive communities, a mobile version for an online dating website is vital. MeetMinful’s app is a complete analog of the website version adapted to phone usage.

Pricing and membership details

Here’s the catch. With a free membership, all you can do is browse people after your free membership expires. All other functions of the app require an upgraded membership. The lowest commitment membership will run you $30 a month. However the most popular option is $80 for six months, which is the same as $13 per month, but you’re going to have to dish out almost $100 at once.
You’re basically going to have to pay if you want to have any agency over your profile on this site. The app seems to have very helpful and interesting functions once you upgrade… but I think it’s pretty pricey for a dating app that has no real guarantee of success.

• See full list on hookupwebsites.org.
• MeetMindful has grown ever since. It’s no surprise, given the world’s current obsession with all things wellness, that MeetMindful is a budding success story. The company describes itself as “not only a dating app, but a meeting ground for people who want to live their happiest, healthiest lives—and connect with others who feel the same.
• MeetMindful is a rather new dating platform, launched only in 2015. However, five years in such a competitive market is still a very promising indicator. Besides, even the name of the service already suggests that it is bringing something new to the audience — meeting mindful people. Mindful of what, exactly?

Pros

Gender options: One of my favorite things about this app is the breadth of its gender options. They keep things simple, but they offer a few gender options for those who don’t identify within the gender binary. Additionally, if you were to check your preference as “Women” you’d be given the option to check a box that says if you’re open to Trans women as well. I like how simple and respectful these options are.

Personal information: When you sign up, you’re going to be asked some questions that seem pretty routine for a more serious dating app, but you’re going to have many more options to answer with. For instance, you’ll be asked about your diet! This is great for people who are vegetarian or vegan who is looking for a partner who has similar eating habits as them. Additionally, you’ll be asked about drinking, drugs, and smoking but you’ll be given more than Yes or No as options. I like this because life decisions aren’t binary! You can be honest about your habits without pigeonholing yourself. You can also answer questions and prompts to fill out your profile – not unlike Hinge! – where you can really express yourself in your profile.

Deal Breakers: I like that they have a deal breaker option. They give you a few different things to check off as deal-breakers such as atheists or long-distance relationships. I like that they give you an out when it comes to things you’re not interested in! You’re not going to offend anybody by having these deal breakers on your profile because everyone has them. Plus, you’re given a text box if you choose that you want to explain why your deal breakers are your deal breakers.

Cons

Beware Indigo Children: I don’t have too many negative things to say about this app… however, it does definitely attract a more eccentric group of people… One group of people that I’ve found on here are people who believe that they are indigo children. People who believe themselves to be indigo children think that they’re psychic or something. I’m serious. And not in the taro card kind of way. They usually believe in government conspiracy theories about how the government wants to stifle their special gifts. So beware, there’s plenty of crazy on this site

Pay-walls everywhere: Meet Mindful was on its way to becoming my favorite dating app… if only they didn’t paywall the entire site. I feel like this would have been an app I’d use all the time if I had the money to spend on it. A lot of us don’t have the money to spend on dating apps, especially when you’re looking at over $100 for the entire year at it’s cheapest. No thanks.

Conclusion

Honestly, if you have the money to throw at your online dating endeavors and if you’re looking for more mindful people… then this is without a doubt the site for you. If you’re looking for something cheaper I’d try OkCupid or another app!

I remember joining my first dating site.

It had been a while since I'd been in a relationship, and with Internet dating all the rage, “Why not”? I thought.

Besides, I was busy with work and it seemed like an efficient way to skip past the chance bar and party encounters and quickly funnel my way to some dates with real potential.

It didn't go to plan at first.

After days of pouring over matches, I found myself thinking, “Is it me or is there no one out there like me?”

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking for a carbon copy of myself, but no one seemed to have the same outlook on life, and very few of the same interests – at least no one within a 25 mile radius!

To be honest, at the time it left me feeling more hopeless than hopeful.

Sound familiar?

But, in the end, I met someone. Hurrah!

We had a fruitful relationship and, when that ended, I met someone else afterwards on the same site. That was a great summer 🙂

You just have to hang in there; these things take time.

Eleven years later and I'm happily married, but I still see many of my single friends struggling with that same dating dilemma.

Dating sites, despite their marketing ploys are essentially a catchall for singles. They are built on the precept that if you put a bunch of single people together they will naturally fall in love/hook up, just because they are single.

It's a numbers game. And that does work, if the numbers are high enough – and the algorithm used is efficient at matching your preferences.

So, where am I going with this…

Well, just recently, while out with a single friend, she mentioned her recent foray into the world of “mindful dating” – on a site called MeetMindful.

Knowing that I'm into this “mindfulness stuff”, she gave me a tour on her phone.

I was impressed, and jealous, I might add. I wish this platform had been around when I was dating!

But! Hold your horses there. Long story short, it didn't work out.

And in this review, I'll explain why…

MeetMindful & The Mindful Dating Concept

MeetMindful is a dating site aimed at those who live life on a mindful pathway.

It is targeted at those with an “awakened mind” that's open to learning and self-development: those who want to live life positively and explore opportunity and potential; those who are compassionate and kind; health conscious, etc.

It's a place for creative types, spiritual types, mindfulness types, worldly types, travel types…

It's meant for those who “live alternatively” in various ways: those who practice meditation, spirituality, eat healthily, enjoy fitness, nature and green living, volunteering, self-development… you get the picture.

It sounds perfect!

So why didn't it work out for my friend?

Well, quite simply because there wasn't enough choice. Globally there seems like a lot of people, but locally she really struggled.

Furthermore, the dates she was interested in mostly didn't respond – which made her question whether those profiles were computer generated. That's speculation, of course.

She's on Match.com now, and has finally met someone – so her profile will no doubt be coming down!

I'm so pleased for her.

So why did it work out on Match but not MeetMindful?

Well, the idea of attracting all the “mindful” singles in one place is a wonderful one, but the reality is that people go where the numbers are, because dating is a numbers game, right?

Moreover, simply being a meditator, a vegan, a yoga enthusiast, or all three, doesn't mean you aren't into other things like a glass of wine of an evening, or the odd sofa-day with a good Netflix series and box of delightfully unhealthy chocolates.

We're all pretty unique, in our own way.

The bigger dating sites have such huge membership databases that you are much more likely to find that vegan-yoga goer and occasional drinker you're looking for.

Of course, for a niche site like Meet Mindful to take off, it needs to attract members over time. This means huge marketing costs, which means they need income from memberships to pay for it. It's a catch 22 and why it is so hard to establish a new dating site like this.

If you are prepared to wait around until it grows and more members come on board, it might pay off. But love waits for no man, or woman!

Sure, the MM matches are guaranteed to be targeted toward your way of life, but in my opinion, in this situation it is better to have a small piece of a big pie than a big piece of a small pie.

Match has a whopping 13.5 million members.

While they won't all be of the mindful persuasion, the reality is that the odds are better among 13.7m members.

What to Expect on MeetMindful

The concept is wonderful but the feedback hasn't all been flattering. Since writing about this new dating concept I have received a few complaints from readers. Here's just a couple of them:

This website is a scam! If you provide credit card info and then want to stop your membership, you MUST cancel your credit card or they will continue to charge even after you have terminated your membership.

And…

I joined and cancelled my subscription all in the same month. Since then I have been charged every month even though I am no longer on meetmindful or receive any action. My profile no longer exist or is hidden. This month Meetmindful took the fees out twice. I'm furious over this, and would not recommend this dating site. The only thing I know to do is change my credit card number which will be a huge hassle.

To their credit, I contacted the company on behalf of the reader above, and MM said they had responded to the customer to sort out the misunderstanding.

And for balance, I received positive feedback too, as follows:

Searching for a Date

Having registered a profile to check out the platform myself, I was impressed with how easy it is to use. You're able to easily include and exclude the lifestyle choices you want your matches to have. You'll see what I mean in the screenshots below.

I also liked the fact that I could skip what I didn't want to fill out immediately and get onto viewing profiles. Let's face it: the determining factor as to whether you stick around or not is whether you see potential dates in other members.

The thing is, you can also do all this on Match, apart from the My Mantra and Mindfulness Commitment parts. But then you can just write that stuff in your profile on any dating site, anyway. So while it is very tailored and seems very unique, maybe it's not really that different.

Here's an overview of the sign-up process:

My Matches!

Okay, so this is a hypothetical exercise, but I did find a match.

Not many, though, and only one I would consider messaging.

One thing I found pretty odd was that most of the matches hadn't bothered to write hardly anything in their profile. Looks-wise, I only vibed with a few. I'm sure they wouldn't vibe with me either!

Below is the profile of my favorite match. I have blurred her face and name out to protect her identity.

What attracted me to this particular person?

• Great quote used at the top of her profile
• Has a thirst for wisdom
• Likes music and exercise
• Likes travel and exploring outside of her comfort zone
• She wrote about kindness, love and positivity in her profile
• She has a wonderful smile!

I love the concept and this was a great match for me, but I'd need more of a pool of fish; because if it didn't work out I'd struggle to find another in my locality.

Finding Friends Not Dates

One great aspect of the site is that while the main marketing is aimed at single people, the MeetMindful concept is about bringing together people who have similar mindful living interests.

This means friendships and not just dates.

You can state that you are married or in a relationship, and explain explicitly that you are looking for friendships. That is unique to this platform.

I've actually been thinking about this myself. I now live in an area where I have none of my old friends around. It's a lovely place to live for my daughter but my social life has taken a tumble.

MeetMindful Pricing

The good news is that it's free to join and register a profile. It's also fairly priced at the premium level.

Meetmindful Dating Sites

A free MeetMindful account enables you to complete a detailed profile with up to 6 photos and a questionnaire, and allows you to view 10 daily matches.

Dating App With Reviews

You can like up to 3 of your daily matches, and if they like you back, you can message them for free and start the connection!

Here are the 4 key benefits of premium membership:

1. Message and like unlimited matches
2. Advanced filtering to find better matches
3. See your admirers (those who like your profile)
4. Faster customer support

How to Get Started

You can register with your email address and a password, or use the connect with Facebook feature which doesn't require an email address.

The platform doesn't post to your Facebook wall or look at your pictures; it's just an easy way to get started without having to remember another password. Regardless, I used my email address, as I always do.

The next step is to begin creating your profile. Help boxes will assist you along the way, with tips on what type of photo to upload, etc.

That's all there is to it. It's simple.

I must admit, I had a lot of fun browsing around, but just wish there were more matches to make it more viable.

Mindful dating is a great concept, but the reality is that there are far more people into mindfulness, meditation, yoga, plant-based eating, etc., on the big sites like Match and eHarmony.

Meetmindful App

Maybe try more than one site. Spread your bets, so to speak.

I wish you all the best in your quest for a partner who ticks your mindful boxes – and I hope you found my review useful.
