is the word 'mate' as in 'mating' good in human context?
 

i have a domain with the word 'mate' in it where the meaning is like 'mating'. It's a pretty clever domain name, is this ok to use as kind of a witty name in a human context?
Because the word mating in dutch is solely for the animal world, but could be used in such a way i guess (as in a witty domain name for a dating site). How about the US?

When I see that word I think of breeding.

Just think of animals.

mate means friend, buddy, bro in the world of the English and Aussies :D

rooting means fucking :D
fag means smoke, cigarette (bum a fag off ya mate!)

so lets say you say something like....

"from dating... to mating!"

that way people expect that a date will get them laid on that site... in a playful kind of way... or does that still has too much of a breeding / animal meaning to it?

mate is for animals or friends

Yeah, beats the word "relationship"...

over here in the uk it means friend we say " hello mate how u doing" or "Im just going down the pub with my mate"

Mate is a term for someone between a friend and an acquaintance. Or any stranger you meet. :1orglaugh

yes i know the noun is friend, im talking about the verb (mating / breeding / having sex) - also in the UK.
