Match.com ... I'm up in the air right now about this one!

Ok... so last night I got curious about the "normal" dating life on-line... so I tried it.  Match.com took about an hour and half or two to completely fill out the "profile". Those of you that have read some of my reviews will understand this because I am very expressive and do put alot into what I write.

I poured my heart out.... afterall... this is my future we are talking about, right? I really thought about the answers and what someone might envision while reading them. Match.com is very thorough in it's probing questionaire with rather generic quick-pick standard answers. They do give a  "comment" box for further information on the answers allowing you to elabo...

Customer service

nightmare! When I registered for only one month service on Jan 15, 2012, and the money withdrew on Jan 15. It got automatically renew and withdrew my money again on Feb 13 mid night While I thought my last day will be the Feb 14. I called on Feb 15 to asked to cancel my service, I know it is a little late, but they said I have used the service because they count Feb 13 as the new month which is a trick. I didn't used the service after mid night of Feb 14 which should be the last day as I understand from when I registered. This company is doing its business with bad integrity.

do not use it. they will quietly take money from your account. You can't easily find unsubscribe in the website.

Buyer Beware! Match will take your money, not get you a date.

I thought Match.com would be an easy way to get back into the dating game! Not! Mid-40s and recently divorced, what I found were "matches" who were not within my preferences, not even by a long shot. I'm interested in 40-50 year old white men within 30 miles of me. How is a 65-year-old man from clear across the country a good "match"? Or a 35-year-old black male? Please! The other thing is that, although I met several men in whom I was interested, it became clear from date #2 that they are only interested in sex. Nothing more. Apparently having sex is a way to get to know someone these days. They couch their salacious desires in statements like "I'm interested in an intimate relati...

Their site and system are a complete sham. In 6 months I have met not 1 person, have been humiliated by the lack of response from the people I reached out to, and even got a "thanks but no thanks" email from someone I would not even usually consider talking to. This site made me feel that I had to lower my standards, completely decimated my confidence, completely disregarded my search criteria, and was overall a terrible experience.

I've never had a problem dating in the past and am a fairly attractive and personable girl, but having just moved to a new city, was looking for a way to extend my connections beyond just meeting someone in a bar.

To add insult to injury, Match charged me witho...

I had pretty much given up on dating the regular way and just decided to take a chance and try online dating. I had used a bunch of different websites to increase my chances of finding somone that wasn't a crazy stalker, and match.com was one of them.After using the site for a couple weeks, I started talking regularly with a guy named Ed. He was very cute and had a great personality. We eventually started talking on the phone every day for two months until we finally realized that we should probably meet in person. After our first date, he drove me back to my dorm (i go to college in RI and live on campus) and gave me a very sweet kiss goodnight. He told me later that I was the first girl he...

I joined Match.com after a friend of mine (who was 10 years younger than I was) coaxed me into it since she had met her boyfriend on match.  My experience was much different and I started to take "surveys" from members who I contacted or contacted me and was very surprised to hear the same thing over and over from men.  First, I found personally if you live more than 50 miles away from someone they think it is too much effort and consider it long distance and won't pursue it.  Secondly, I found through my research that some of the men I met had been on the site from 3 to 5 years.  Hmmm, what does that say?  Either they are just in it for fun and games or they want th...

Match.com is a scam

I recently subscribed for the 72 hour trial period. Within approximately 48 hours I called and cancelled my subscription. Two weeks later i receive my credit card statement and there is no refund. I called Customer Service and they acknowledged my call and request for cancellation but during that call I never asked for my money back. Since I didn't ask for the money they weren't going to refund it. If one looks in their Terms of Use it states all a subscriber has to do is call and cancel and you will be refunded your subscription fee. Wrong. This organization is most likely crossing a line legally and most definitely ethically. BEWARE

Here is what I wrote to match.com

I am extremely disappointed in match.com. I will be recommending it NO one. It is all about money, period. I get a match from match.com who isn't even interested in someone in my age category and without being able to see that I get a subscription, send an email and then find out the match IS NOT in my category. I will be contacting the CEO of match.com to pass that on. It is false advertising to send a match who isn't interested in my age category to tempt me to get a subscription, it is sneaky and deceitful. I will get my refund. HORRIBLE! There is no point even calling customer service because they don't care what you have to say unless they are going to get more of your money. Unbelievable! I will let anyone I know who asks that match.com is horrible!

Match is rampant with players and married men.

I joined Match a few months ago and although my profile has been viewed over 2,000 times, I have had only 5 dates and all but one was a waste of time.  Two of these men had the vanity to lie about where they lived and how old they were. 

The men on Match like to flirt and have the attention span of a gnat.  If you do not set up a date within 7 days of the first contact, you will usually find yourself "dumped" for the freshest "meat" on the market.  There is a game played on Match called, The String You Along.  This is where a male or female starts a flirtation but does not want to commit to a date because someone "better" might come along. They send you insignifican...

I'm a male looking for a female. I've noticed a couple problems. First - when someone reads your profile, they make a snap judgement. If there is any little interest or item like last movie seen or book read that they don't care for, you are dismissed. It's an interesing phenomina since we know that no two people are exactly alike or share exactly the same interests, careers hobbies, etc.

The second thing I've noticed is the ludicrous requirements from the women. Sorry ladies but you are watching way too much TV and reading way too many romance novels. There aren't a lot of men out there that are going to be flying you to Paris every weekend for a romantic wine tasting evening. I hate to be the one breaking the news, but Brad Pitt isn't going to be dumping Angolie and answering your match.com ad anytime soon.

I met a lot of different men on Match, some of which looked nothing like the picture they posted, much older or their descriptions did not match them what so ever. Met a very nice man, dated for 5 months though I wondered about our dating exclusively as he kept telling me. One night I did a specific search for his age, height, hair color, eyes & city & state. Well I was quite surprised that my exclusive had 3 accounts with his name in various formats and he was a very busy man...all were being used daily. He was definitely a player and therefore I ended the relationship. I would advise anyone to go with your gut feeling, uncertainty is not conducive to a relationship...check the person out as much as possible!

I have subscribed to Match.com a couple of different times for a total of about 7 months on and off, with little success.  I am a female in her 40's, never married, with a professional/technical job and what I consider to be average looks.  I have only exchanged emails with a handful of men during that time, and only dated one person.  I found that one of the biggest frustrations with Match.com is that even though there are so many profiles on the site, the vast majority of people are not active members.  Since only active subscribers can read or reply to emails, that means very few emails ever get a response.  When I was not an active subscriber, I also found it fru...

I signed up for six months free then get six months free. for those people stating they dont tell you you have to email 5 people a month to get your second six months free thats a load of bull. its right on there. it tells you right on the home page when you log in. as far as being autorenewed just go into your preferences and make sure its not set to auto renew.

I will say ive met lots of people on the site however do not go on the site expecting anything serious or anything other than meeting people.

Heres my  problems with match that ive noticed in my year subscription.

I tried this twice, and it was awful both times.

A year ago, I signed up for match.com and had laughable experiences meeting people who were not who they claimed to be...for example, a man who wasn't even the same person in the picture! But that is not the fault of the site. What was really bad about the site is that I did not always receive email and the people that I wrote to did not always receive the email. I met someone who said he has been on this site for years, and it is always problematical. When I asked for a refund (all according to the instructions I had received in writing from match.com), they told me it was their policy to NEVER give any refunds. I had to send a copy of their own policy (printed on the site) as well as the email they sent me. It was stressful, but two months later, I got my money back. I have a friend to says that they continued to bill her credit card after she had resigned! Match.com is terrible.

I've gotten laid by a few slightly below-average women here.  The nice thing is that most women aren't looking for love, they want to have sex.  Right now.  So that's good.  Cons are that most women are EITHER 40-something divorcees with a kid and a rapidly sagging body, OR younger hotties but with 9000 men pursuing them.Unless you're very attractive you won't find much luck.  Even if you are attractive you'll only have a little luck, since there are about 20 men for each woman.So it's OK.  It's gotten me laid a few times, which means it's not worthless (like Match.com is IMHO), but the choices are pretty weak and one needs to spend a great deal of time to get anything at all.
