I had nothing but bad, I think its has bots sending me emails, I joined and paying member. Never had a email past the first email. If they are real ladies there, they are just as unfriendly as anywhere else online, I missed the scammers at least they are someone to talk to. Match also limits who I could match up with Useless website because of the ladies on it, so stuck up or what ever they are, I guess games, look good to make us guys want them and all they are are a tease...

This a very popular site, both the Australian site and the US but it is full of scammers. Within hours of putting up my profiles I was overwhelmed with "Matches" that were 1000's of miles from my hometown and 20-30 years younger than me. You also get false "winks" trying to entice you to join. Whether or not these are from the webmasters or from 3rd party scammers I don't know, but why would a 22 year old sexy blonde in california wink at a 50 year old male in Australia?. Fortunately I didn't give them my primary email and I never gave them any cc detains and deleted my profile immediately. Be wary of any site that "matches" you innapropriately. I know this is a very popular site, but I can assure you there are better, more genuine sites out there that pro-actively filter out scammers.

While there is no question some people are certainly legit and can find a mate, match.com is not all that it is cracked up to be. One, if you decide to cancel your membership they will often keep charging you for months. It might take a real battle to stop them from taking your money. Two, some of the people on the site are plants or the ads are fake. Many have pictures that look like models when in fact they are just there to draw interest. Some of them have been there for years. Third, you often will get emails/interest from people who are running an out of this country scam. They will contact you with fake letters in the hopes you will send them money. Fourth match does not provide the privacy they should. For example, match advertises on a cyberbullying site called Topix. The Topix site stays in hot water with attorney generals and the media for the horrible content of the site. Did you know that match allows your profile to be seen on the Topix site without your permission. That is ethically wrong and possibly even illegal but they do nothing about it. How would you like your profile seen on a site where crimes have been committed and some of the content has led others to suicide?

I may be a little biased here, but match.com did the trick. I met my husband on there 6 years ago. It's a bit ridiculous, but after waiting for someone to fall in my lap I had to finally do a little work. Yes, it's work. Dating online is by turns depressing, hilarious, interesting and emotional. You'll meet some nice people, although they might be nice for someone else. But hey, it's the best way to stay in practice and meet people instead of watching re-runs of The Bachelor in your sweatpants. You may meet your match, you may not, but at least you can say you tried.

Hi,

CAUTION! match.com STEALS YOUR MONEY AND ACCESS YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT INFORMING YOU

I've joined match.com 7 months ago ( i paid £137 in total to use some of the website services), it was really bad experience and really disappointing for this amount of money, so i gave up visiting the website after a couple of weeks.

After 6 month i've been charged £137 for subscription renewal without informing me
And i wouldn't know if i didn't check my bank statement

When i contacted the website to refund my money, they refused

That's clearly STEALING MONEY

I didn't like the website, i didn't like the services, i didn't visit the website for few months and after all that they stole my money from my bank card under the name of ( AUTOMATIC SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL)

THANKS

Waste and a vehicle from scammers. Match.com seems like a good site until you pay and really start using it. It is riddled with scam artists, probably only about 50% of the users are "real" people. You will get winks, IMs, and emails from people all over the states, but they use pictures harvested from catalog shots and stock text. When you write them, they write in broken english at best. They look like models and will try to get you to get on Yahoo messenger immediately. They will ask you questions about you and give you little information about themselves. I talked to customer service and they don't care. "DANNY M." from the nicaragua call center was little help.

What a surprise, even Match.com is a scam using an office out of the country. Maybe it was good a year ago, but not now. Don't waste your money. At least at a free site, the people are real.

First let me begin by saying in all my experience of online dating, Match.com has given me the least for what i put into it. Now they cannot get you a date, they can only provide the means. However I found too many "dead" profiles that were created by people and who never paid to send or receive messages. So you run into a lot of ghosts that are no longer there.

Next I think it is quite suspicious that the day I cancelled my subscription and let my own profile become one of those ghosts, I received a few messages and winks and of course could only read them if I decided to pay Match.com again. I decided not too.

Overall I cannot recommend the site and can only say it was not worth the time or money.

I am not too sure why some people hate this site so much, it does exactly what it says it will do... allow you to meet people you otherwise never would have met. Thousands of people have met their spouse on match.com and the cost is so minimal compared to what people spend on dating, both men and women. Yes they have recurring charges but big deal, just cancel when you meet someone. I have never heard of someone saying, gee I wish I didn't spend that 20 bucks a month to meet my husband.

What they do is have a hidden paragraph buried in the very lengthly legal terms that you agree to when you click the "I accept" button. This is the one that no one reads or it would take a whole day. What it says is that you automatically agree to renew when your subscription ends.

For instance, say you sign up for a three month membership. When the three months ends, you think your membership is over and your credit card won't be charged again, right? Wrong! Match.com rips you off by continuing to bill your credit card until you call them and complain, all because of this buried paragraph designed by their shyster lawyers.

My advice is to stay away from Match.com; there other other dating websites that don't screw you like this. Match.com has a bad reputation for ripping people off.

I signed up on this website 3x in the last 8 years. Once in one state while living in a town with a relatively small population (140k) and twice about a year apart while living in a larger metro (1.6mil) in a different state.

In all trials, 'matches' ran the gamut, from unstables to people looking for extracurricular activities outside marriage to swingers to hookups to people looking online in order to get offline. I believe in complete honesty and found many people looked at themselves through rose colored glasses. I understand the desire to present yourself in the best light but oft descriptions ran into the 'farfetched' category, which i would find out about upon meeting.

I met a whole slew of people, have made a couple of good friends but never a long-term relationship partner. As with the rest of life, it's all about timing and momentum when using these types of sites. Ymmv

I should mention that i personally know 3 couples who met on here ( i've met their partners). 2 are married and 1 of the couples has been dating for the better part of a year so there is hope! :)

Most popular dating site - I think this is probably THE most popular site out there for internet dating, but I have actually had better luck using craigslist to find new boyfriends than match.com. I think there are quite a few people on match that are no longer "single" but they just keep their profile up. The problem is that if they are not actively looking then they don't always bother to log on to their account. Craigslist is good because at least you know the people on there are actively looking for a date. But I still like Match.

The premiere dating website - I think this is probably the best dating site out there, purely because it has such a large number of people to sort through. I also like the quality of the people on the site. Most are very real people and not just looking to have fun. These are people who are really looking for a relationship and it is great that you can screen them ahead of time. I will admit that there were a number of people who didn't look quite like their photo, but it wasn't that far off. I have tried dating on CL, and usually it ended up badly. Lots of flakes on CL. But I have always been rather impressed by the match.com people. Definitely worth signing up for their 6 month deal. Guys, my 2 cents is to just put down the higher income bracket, I initially put down a lower amount of money and found the girls would more likely go out with me if I just put down the higher bracket. And, hey, someday I'll make that much...
