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. 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...

match.com fails to advertise the fact that unless you send emails to 5 different people every month during the six month subscription period, their "6 months free" guarantee does not apply.  Also, they automatically renew your membership without any notice and will not refund your money.  Lastly, they...

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... read full review »

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... read full review »

As everyone that is on the site, I was hoping to find happiness and I decided to sign up for the 6 month deal.  I was only on the site for less than 2 days and while on the site saw someone changing all of my account information.  I took screen shots of everything as it was happening.  Someone who happened to email me the first day also wrote me to notify me my profile looked fishy as well.  I checked the "abuse" page and there was no information of what to do in that situation.  I reported the issue to their abuse email and didn't hear anything from them for 2 whole days...week days!  I...

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 that you don't know if you should ignore them or call the... 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 the crowd's....

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... read full review »

Ok I know this is too funny but I tried this because of Dr. Phil...lol...I still love Dr.Phil, but match.com sucks, that is of course in my opinion. They give you the "6 month" guarentee of finding someone in 6 months or the next 6 months are "free", nope not free, they take it out of your account! I don't know I signed up twice and had no luck. Honestly too expensive for me!

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.

Getting laid is about as difficult as picking up women from church.  ie, very difficult. ...

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 the e-mail.  The e-mail... 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 online.

  I have a friend that was looking for that "Someone Special" so I signed her up for the free trial. It gave her matches but you have to pay to be able to chat with them from the begining.

It should be totally free for like 3 months to see how it goes first.

Thank you,

Match.com was my 'match maker' for about 16 months.  I met many wonderful men and Starbucks was the favorite meeting place.  Unfortunately, many men used VERY old photos and it was disappointing to meet 'some' duds.  Most of the men were serious about finding someone special and I actually had three different proposals but the men were NOT for me. Good value and they often have 'specials'.
