What Do I Get For My Money?

A question we get asked a lot is ‘why should I have pay to message people?’ Fair enough, we understand that money doesn’t grow on trees (if it did we’d all become arborologists) and that for many it is difficult to find the money to pay for online dating sites. However, there are reasons why it pays to pay for online dating.

Here is what we at Muddy Matches provide for your money:

Genuine members – We read through every single profile that is sent into us to make sure that only genuine country-minded people join the site. By paying for a subscription, you are also showing that you are keen to meet someone rather than just browsing.

Protection from scammers – Our vetting process also means that we spot scammers at the first instance and do not allow them to use the website. We also have a system in place where our members can report their concerns about other members in a confidential way.

Customer support – Having an in-house customer care team means that you can get in touch with a real human being via email, telephone or even letter if you wish to.

Removal of inactive members from searches – A lot of sites keep inactive members on the site to make it look like there are more people online than there actually are. However, at Muddy Matches we make sure that only active members appear within searches. The more active someone is on the site (logging in regularly) the higher they will appear in people’s searches. You can also see when the person was last active on the site by looking at their profile, which will for example say ‘active within 24hrs’.

A site aimed at ‘muddy’ people – As an independent dating website, run by two countryside-loving sisters we understand the rural way of life. This means that we have a country calendar with hundreds of countryside events and lots of blog posts about countryside date ideas. We also give advice alongside the profile box that is tailored to our ‘muddy’ members.
