MixedMates.com is about expanding your possibilities of finding a perfect match among people that you might consider to be a mixed mate. Other dating sites are about finding the perfect person - MixedMates.com is about finding the perfect match!

Who made the rule that a man should be at least 2 years older than the woman? Why can't a ballerina learn to enjoy football and a football player learn to enjoy going to ballets? Why can't a man or woman who lost a leg or arm, be a complete mate in every other way? Why can't your perfect match be embodied in someone that is taller, shorter, or heavier, than what you would like them to be.
MixedMates.com is for people with open hearts and open minds!
