Match.com Review Summary

One of the largest and most visited dating sites on the internet is Match.com, a dating service with a high success rate for bringing singles together. Reviewers of Match.com like that there are no surveys or tests to take and they greatly appreciate the vast number of singles present. “It was so Helpful, I Don’t Have to Use it Anymore”, says one review, but others have not been successful at Match.com, like one person who pointed out “I Tried This Twice, and it was Awful Both Times”. Among the cited cons are the fact that Match.com costs money and it will automatically renew your account and charge you without your prior consent. It adds up to a questionable Dating Web Site that may or may not work for everyone.

I had pretty much given up on dating the regular way and just decided to take a chance and try online dating.

JUL

I've paid for 2 months of Match, years ago. The women there are probably the highest class of all the sites, but that's not necessarily a good thing. — — It's really the only dating site that is "mainstream approved." That is, your non-internet dating friends have all heard of Match.com and it's ok that you're on it. Unlike, say, Friendfinder or Alt.com. — — Unfortunately if you're not a middle-class WASP looking for your soul mate, this means you're SOL. All the women there fit the above description, or aspire to. — —… read full review »

I went through a divorce 4 years ago and I immediately jumped into dating... rebound thing I guess. I tried several of the dating websites and they were all about the same. I signed up for Match.com and browsed a bit, but this was about the time I was realizing I should take some time for myself. I deleted most of my online dating accounts and took care of *ME*! I had forgotten about Match.com, but Match.com did not forget about me! I received an e-mail one day saying I had a match and an e-mail from this match. I logged in and checked out the profile and… read full review »

2008

I'm personally not a fan of this site. I'm not single, but I dont think it's fair to discriminate against anyone. This site does not allow gay people to join and in this day in age it shows how ignorant people can be. I'm not sure if the creators of Match.com think that allowing gay people on the site is a bad thing, or if they just think that there business will suffer. I also think that it's ridiculous to think that a site could match you with someone thats perfect based on common interest. Just because two people share common interests doesnt mean that they will fall in love. If I'm being… read full review »

This website needs to be updated to allow gay people to join. It is very easy to navigate and I like the layout best. However, when I was a member I did not meet any single gay men looking for a relationship. They were usually married or attached. So if you are seriously looking for a healthy gay relationship this website is not the one, at least yet. Maybe they will make changes in the future; especially because California and Massachusetts now have legalized same sex marriage! Stay… read full review »

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… read full review »

Match.com is a mixed bag of goodies! It's like a grab bag, and you really don't know what your going to get. I've dating about 8 women off of there, and I can honestly say that only two were relatively normal. The other's were wacked out chicks with zero common sense. These individuals made it very obvious why they were still single. Note the following: A) They used an outdated pic which hid how fat they were. B) They don't know how to act or what to ask. C) They are totally selfish. D) They have sooo much baggage… read full review »

I was not very happy with this dating site. Most of the people were single and looking for their first spouse. As a divorcee....I was NOT looking to start ALL OVER AGAIN! Great site for people who are looking for the first time. — A pro is that online dating allows you the freedom to look thru other profiles so that you can find exactly what you are looking for. A con, and this is true for all websites, not everyone is honest with the posting of their picture or their likes and dislikes. I went to many dates and found someone who had aged considerably from the picture… read full review »

This review is not only for Match.com but for most of them out there..Free,Free,Free..That's what you see on most of these site's..You go through the whole profile thing and immediatly some one has contacted you..But for you to contact them back (this is where they get you) you must have a credit card or some form of payment. Sure, they let you do a profile for free but like i said to answer or e-mail someone they want your money..If you offer me something for free than i want it to be free..No hidden charge's..For me i'll do my mate finding the old fashion way..Go out and mingle with… read full review »

This is a nicely designed website that is easy to navigate through. Unlike e-harmony, you are not required to fill out a long survery only to be rejected. IN my experience the majority of people on here are looking for long term relationships. They also give you tips on taking photos to post on your profile and how to interact with others on the website. The only complaint I have heard from friends of mine who also use this service is that because so many people are on there you are constantly receiving more potential dates and this can be a bit overhelming, but that can be a good thing too.… read full review »

It's been a few years since I was on Match, but I have nothing but good to say about it. Yes, you still get attention from questionable (aka smarmy) people - but if you have any sense, you can tell when you're talking to a creep and when you're not. It helped me meet some men in my area (some not so good, some better, one that's now my husband.) I used it because I was new to the area and wasn't meeting single men at all (I'm not into the bar scene) and it worked for me. Is this right for everyone? Probably not. I thought it was easy to use and… read full review »

I was on Match.com for six months, and I was quite disappointed. I found (at least in my area of the country), that the site was no different than the bar scene. It was very much a "meat market" with very few people of substance. But then again, this could definitely be related to the D.C. area, so people in other areas of the country could have had more positive experiences. The auto-renewal was a nightmare...I would elect not to renew and my subscription would get renewed anyway. So glad I finally got that… read full review »

I had been on and off Match for years, but am currently no longer using it as I'm very much in love with someone I met on there 6 months ago. It's a great place to find people who are really similar, as you can search by lifestyle preferences, religious and political views, education, etc., but be careful about their automatic renewal policy. Be sure to cancel your membership, not just inactivate your profile, when you're ready to stop using it, or you'll be charged for another series of… read full review »

It has been a few years since I 'did the internet dating thing'. In general, I htink it is a very bad idea. Most of the people on these sites misrepresent themselves and are ALWAYS looking for something better. Even if you do happen to meet someone you like, and they like you, it doesn't seem to last. There's always the thought in the back of your mind saying 'hey, i found this one, but maybe there's someone even better' It can be an ego boost for the short term, but it is not a healthy… read full review »
