What Is GreenSingles?

Calling all environmental activists, spiritualists, hippies, animal rights activists, vegans, and vegetarians. Normal dating sites are fine, but finding someone who shares your beliefs and convictions when you’re a little outside the mainstream can be difficult. Greensingles may be the place for you. It’s a dating site for conscious singles to meet and find love and connection. There are fun features like video dates and events to help you find your perfect match.

This GreenSingles.com review will explore those features in more detail, the cost to join and use the site, and some pros and cons. We’ll let you know how to create an account and complete your profile, and what we think of the other users’ quality. We’ll investigate to see if we can uncover any safety concerns and fill you in on the safety features available. Read on to learn more!

Pros

• Great matching algorithm.

• Most profiles have photos.

• A great gender ratio.

• Great for vegan dating.

• Free profiles can reply to messages initiated by premium users.

Cons

• Registration and profile completion takes a long time.

• Free profiles are limited by the prewritten “hellos” to initiate conversations.

• No GreenSingles mobile app available.

Login Process

Creating a profile on the GreenSingles site takes a while, so set aside 15 to 30 minutes. On the homepage, you will start with your gender and your sexual orientation, your preferred age range, and your location. The next page contains some questions about your credentials, including creating a username and password, entering your email address, as well as your gender and sexual orientation (again).

The next page contains the basics. Here you’ll create a tagline for your profile, and enter your first and last names, country, state, city, and postal code. You can enter your mobile number, but don’t have to, this is the only optional section on this page. This is followed by your birthdate, relationship status, and desired age range. Next, pick the relationship you’re seeking and the languages you speak from a list.

Don’t worry, your full name, mobile number, and postal code won’t be publicly visible.

Next, you’ll answer short questions about yourself, by picking the answer from a drop-down menu. These short questions include:

• Spiritual beliefs

• If you have children or want more

• Your Ayurvedic body type

• Your sun/rising/moon signs

• And more.

On the final page, you must write an About Me of 200+ characters and indicate where you heard about the Green Singles dating site. Do a captcha to prove that you’re not a robot, and you’ll gain access to the site. Three pop-ups will appear, to inform you that your profile must be approved before it goes public, prompt you to add a photo, and answer some match questions while you wait.

Profile Completion

To have a fully complete profile, you’ll need to complete a few steps, including having one profile picture, 2 additional photos, and one video uploaded. You’ll also need to answer the multiple choice questions on the “About Tab”, which you did during registration. Your matchmaker preferences must be fully complete.

You must also answer at least 5 essay questions. These include questions that are common on dating sites like:

• Describe the type of person you’d like to meet

• What should a great date consist of?

And also some unique, but very on-brand questions:

• What types of healing modalities do you practice, or would you like to learn?

• How are you environmentally conscious? And what are you doing to help the planet?

Finally, you’ll need to answer 90% of the Match Questionnaire.

User Account Quality

There are a good number of profiles on the site, and of those, most have photos and some completed essay questions. One thing to note is that the site seems to have mostly middle-aged users (40+), this isn’t overrun with young adults like many others. At the time of writing, there are also double the number of women v men, which is a gender split that is seldom seen on dating sites.

The site has two algorithms to help you connect, the matchmaker and the match percentage. To use the first, you simply indicate your partner preferences on things like their age range, location, and religious/spiritual beliefs. The matchmaker will then show you people who tick those boxes. The match percentage is based on your answers to the match questionnaire, which is explained in more detail in the next section.

Dating Features

Match Questionnaire

This is a questionnaire that spans several different topics, including eco-consciousness, spirituality, sexuality, ethics, lifestyle & personality, diet & exercise, and some fun questions. You’ll select both your answer, and the answer you’d like your match to select, and indicate how important this matter is to you.

For example, one of the ‘fun’ questions is: Star Wars or Star Trek? You’ll answer your preference, and if you want your match to be a Trekkie, or into Star Wars, or both, or neither. Then you’ll also indicate if this subject is very, somewhat, or not so important to you. You can optionally write a short explanation of your answer.

You don’t have to answer every single question, but the more you answer, the more accurate the results will be. Based on both your answers, you’ll see a match percentage on other users’ profiles. These kinds of very detailed matching systems are a great way to find someone you’re truly compatible with, rather than just someone you find attractive.

Video Dates

Some dating advice: Video calls are an excellent way to both verify someone’s identity and gauge chemistry, before taking the step of meeting in person. Green Singles offers a video dating feature, where you can purchase time credits to have a virtual date.

Much like in real life, the inviting party pays for the date using their credits, so the invitee just needs to show up. Especially since the site has a very widespread global user base, this can also be a nice way to feel close to a long-distance beau.

Classifieds

An interesting feature that’s available is the classified ads section. Usually, classifieds on dating sites will be free to post and will be used by individuals to advertise what they’re seeking. Here, it’s a paid feature used to showcase businesses or individuals who are offering relevant services to users. Some current classifieds include ads for, among others, past life regression sessions, piano lessons, hypnotism, and many more.

Events

GreenSingles has partnered with spiritualevents.com to make these events available to members. The event site can be accessed by clicking the event tab and has information on various in-person and virtual events and retreats. Find information on the event itself, the location, price, and contact details for the organizers on the website.

Some of the events include workshops, classes, eco-conscious retreats, and yoga expos. This is another way of fostering a sense of community and can be a way to meet like-minded singles in real life.

Prices & Costs

While many features are free, the site also has extensive paid features. These include buying minutes to use on video dates, monthly subscriptions, and paying to post classified ads.

Subscription

With a free account, you can browse and send a limited number of “Hellos” per day. These are pre-written messages that you can send for free. If you want to properly communicate with other users, you’ll need to buy a subscription. The perks included are:

• Unlimited instant messages

• Send a maximum of 30 emails per day

• Free members can reply to your emails and instant messages

• Upload up to 20 photos and two videos

• Add images to all your messages

The premium membership costs:

• 1 Month: $24

• 3 Months: $48 (works out to $16 a month)

• 6 Months: $72 (works out to $12 a month)

This is very reasonably priced compared to similar dating sites and will automatically renew at the end of the period. If you don’t want it to renew, you must cancel before your subscription's last day. Cancellation is easily done from your profile settings page.

Video Dates Minutes

It’s highly recommended to have a video date before meeting anyone in person, and you can do that on Green Singles com. You’ll need to purchase time credits to access the video dates, and these cost:

• 1 Hour: $3

• 5 Hours: $7.50 ($1.50 per hour)

• 10 Hours: $10 ($1 per hour)

This is also very affordable, making video dating accessible to most users.

Classified Ads

If you have a conscious business or are offering a service that might be relevant to GreenSingles users, you can post classified ads. These will be visible for 1-12 months and the cost varies, depending on the period you take it for:

• 1 Month: $18

• 3 Months: $45 ($15 per month)

• 6 Months: $66 ($11 per month)

• 12 Months: $96 ($8 per month)

How Safe Is Green Singles com?

The Conscious Dating Network

Green Singles uk was originally an independent newsletter and became an online dating site in 1996. The owners retired and the site became part of the Conscious Dating Network (“CDN”) in 2014. The CDN is a group of dating sites centered around earth friendly and more spiritual-leaning folks looking for love. Members of partner sites can view and interact with each other as if they’re on the same platform, without creating new profiles.

It’s a great way to expand the dating pool to include like-minded individuals without too much effort and a win-win for the CDN owners and members. Some sites that are a part of CDN are SpiritualSingles.com, NaturalAwakeningsSingles.com, and PlanetEarthSingles.com. So, while your personal information is ‘shared’ with partners, it’s not bouncing between different teams and domains, you stay joined to your original site.

Personal Information

A careful read through of the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy shows that GreenSingles seems to truly value your security and privacy. The site will not share or sell your information to anyone. They do not offer the option of a Facebook sign up, which is to help you stay discreet. Finally, if you choose to buy anything they do not even store your credit card information on their servers, which suggests that your security is their top priority.

Privacy and Security Settings

GreenSingles takes numerous steps to help you stay as private and discreet as you need. This includes not partnering with several popular social media platforms, but also security measures like the fact that your username cannot include your first name. You also can view and edit the list of members that you have reported or blocked from your profile settings.

Under My Account, you’ll also find settings to hide your profile from member search results or the public on the GreenSingles login page. Finally, there’s also a Private Mode available. This is a premium feature that will allow you to view people’s profiles without them being notified.

Final Thoughts

We love Green Singles com. While the registration process takes a little more time, it’s for the sake of better matches. The profiles are detailed but interesting to read through, and the other members seem human and very real. The Match Questionnaire takes a while, but the match percentage is very helpful to show you compatibility.

There’s a subscription available which is actually quite affordable. Free members can read and reply to any messages sent by premium members, which shows that the site prioritizes matchmaking over financial gain. Video dates are a great way to assist in long-distance dating and it’s readily available here, at a very low cost.

For all these reasons, we rate the site 9/10. The only ways it could improve is with some more fun features, like shorter prompts or icebreaker games. As a very in-depth dating site it lends itself more towards serious relationships rather than flings or hookups, so keep that in mind. It perfectly suits its target audience, but more mainstream or less conscious people can join and will be able to learn more about caring for the planet, and even find love along the way.
