M
New York has every dating app, every run club and every singles night there is — and still, according to the city's own health department, more than half of New Yorkers feel lonely at least some of the time. The problem isn't options. It's turning a match into a plan.
How M works in New York
- MDate matches on compatibility — values, life plans, interests, education and work — and schedules the date at a place you both like.
- Sunday Drops sets up a date for you on selected Sundays.
- MSocial for friends and shared plans across the five boroughs.
- MLife shows how busy bars and venues are tonight and matches you with people in the same place.
