Meet Velvetpark Mate, A New Lesbian Dating Website

I’m not a lesbian. But, I do have lots of lezzie friends who have complained about the lack of gay online dating options. Now, Velvetpark Media has launched a lesbian dating website called Velvetpark Mate. Writes site editor Grace Moon: “[We are] the first lesbo dating site ... because we are NOT an affiliate program, or an ‘out of the box’ 3rd party package with a lesbian label slapped on it, NOR are we an afterthought of a male dominated media company, or the unwanted stepchild of a straight date site.”

Like most dating sites, you start off creating a profile (which costs $3.95 a month), and then have the option to find mates through “Fairy Gaymothers,” quirky matchmaker characters with different lesbian vibes, or just start browsing on your own. There’s also a hook-up-your-friends feature, which is equally nice for creating connections and getting to know people.

So, for the lesbians out there ... do you think Velvetpark Mate fills the gap in gay online dating options? [Velvetpark Match]
