“Its name is deceptive ITS NOT CHRISTIAN DATING!”

Jack C.
8/18/21

Zero activity level. I chose J4Dating.com -I'm getting a lot of contacts there and enjoying my communication with beautiful ladies. Now I'm at the point of making a big and important decision, following my heart and choosing my One and Only woman. So my experience with ChristianMingle was very poor. I'm an average-looking 43 year old man with good income. I sent 80 letters and got 1(!) response. If you value your time and have some self-respect, just use a bigger and more popular dating site and search for a Christian woman there. Christianmingle is not a true dating site. It's a big scam. Don't believe its name! It's a typical scam site, a giant and evil money-making machine with mostly fake profiles and catfishers.

“A Brutally Honest Review of a Disappointing Faith-Based Dating Site”

Jennifer R.
5/8/24

I'm writing this review for a family member who typically doesn't leave feedback but felt compelled to after his dismal experience with Christian Mingle. He signed up for a six-month subscription expecting matches aligned with his faith values. Instead, he encountered a random matching process, including a trans woman as a match and noticing unmarried pregnant women on the site, which he found wholly inappropriate for a Christian platform. Simply put, this site is trash!

The activity level is close to zero. I'm an average-looking 43 year old man with good income. I sent 80 letters and got 1(!) response. If you value your time and have some self-respect, just use a bigger and more popular dating site and search for a Christian woman there and sooner or later you will get to the point of making a big and important decision, following your heart and choosing your One and Only woman. But just avoid ChristianMingle, don't get stuck on this fraudulent site.

I signed up for CM with the hope of perhaps connecting with a real person. The experience has been awful. I report/block at least 5 people a day that contact me. What tips you off is they never have pictures and have a very wide range of ages they want to meet and big area (500 mile radius). The ones that do message you are very obviously foreign as you can tell by their English usage. Do not sign up for Christian Mingle. It's a big waste of time and money. Oh and I've seen the same pictures of 10 men since I signed up. Save your money... get a dog to hang out with.

I joined this Christian dating app and immediately I was sorry. They allow members from all over the country to message me with 1) no pictures (I guess verification isn't their priority) 2) I said that I was only interested in a specific local area and age group. I had men 30 years younger than myself sending me messages or smiles. 3) no written self description at all. Not even one word of interests or hobbies. 4) No delete message button. 5) I sent a message to the app and at the time of this review I did not receive a response. Do yourself a favor stay away from this site. They issued me a refund!

Waste of time and money. There were literally just a handful of people in my region within 50 miles. But you get constantly hounded by anonymous people without pictures from all over the country on a daily basis. Also get people contacting you for their friend and wanting you to give them their email. Obviously I didn't. This site is constantly experiencing connection problems. So disappointing that a Christian site he's so poor!

I've tried this site twice. First time I was on only a few weeks and shut my profile down because of all the people messaging me then begin to shut down or remove. In less than a month I was messaged by over 37 men who ended up as imposters. When I asked for a refund CM would not give me one. The site is horrible, slow, goes down all the time and overall awful. Online dating presents its own set of challenges without all the mess CM brings to the table.

I have been on 5 different sites, this is the worst by far. I talked to Landon B. To explain my concerns last night. I could only see about 20 people's profile. I met 7 SCAMMERS. Stay away from this site it's only after your money. I would never take people's money and rip them off like this. Maybe we could do a class action lawsuit.

So bad! In the match profile they sent me they sent me today there were people who last logged in 2, 3, 6, 10 and 11 months ago! What more can I say? I'm in Phoenix! That's all they have to offer I guess.

I'm not even Christian, just made an account as a joke basically. HOWEVER, I can still tell that this is a horrible dating site. Dating sites are problematic but at least try to make the website not totally suck for people who actually want to use it. The set up is bad. The fake accounts (spam s*x bots) are plentiful. I'm not surprised just confused

You're better off using Facebook for dating

I was hacked twice on this site and now I am out money and they won't let me back on unless I give a new email address. They claim they are secure but their only response is to make me change. Plus there is little to no matches on this site. As someone of faith you'd hope that you could be in a safe place and your not. So disappointed. Lesson learned

Horrible technology with crazy slow loading times. Features many "users" who are no longer active, giving the dishonest impression that there are plenty of people to meet. Plenty of scammers also. STAY AWAY!

Tip for consumers:
Don't use the site! It may be tempting, but find another Christian dating site.

I joined 5 days ago and everyone I've met posted fake photos and biographies. Two separate postings were attractive women who claimed to be currently deployed in Syria with the U.S. Army. Another sent me a photo which turned out to be a popular influencer. Most are easy to spot because of their pathetic diction. These are not isolated they're every person I've been in contact with. When I've reported them to the site they suddenly disappear but I'm sure the same scammers have another profile. The site reps seem to care less as they're reaping in the financials. The last person I was in contact with said she was from Nashville. The phone number she supplied was from Indiana. She claimed to be an attractive white female with photos to match and was in fact an illiterate African woman with a British accent. Beware!

To my greatest disappointment, I haven't met a truly Christian woman there. Very few women knew the basics of the Bible. Christianmingle doesn't have a large pool of women to choose from, moreover most of them are definitely fake. All the chats there are shallow and dull. You can hardly find a real and smart woman there who will capture your attention. I have n idea why they call themselves ChristianMingle. They operate on dishonest and disreputable business model.

This site is fake. They only care about money not people using it. I lost my husband of 40 years, five years ago. I am not someone who has ever used dating web-sites. I was stupid to think because this site is named Christian Mingle they would be Christ like minded. I was very wrong. They don't know what that means. Stay away from this site. They are scammers.

I cannot express how disappointed I am from this website. The only "free" thing I can do is like and send a smile, sending a message is impossible and I feel there is very little engagement on this. So actually getting a membership would be totally ridiculous. My best tip for you, don't waste your time on ChristianMingle!

Christian mingle's app is horrible! Takes for ever download from page to page. Has no feature that are useful. And the majority of people on this have been off the site for more than 5months.
This was such a waste of money! Please don't get on this site. Not worth it.

Although the membership was pricey, I actually paid for it so I could receive messages and matches. Unfortunately, I don't think the membership fee they charge is worth it because the amount of engagement your profile receives is very very low, or if none at all. You will rarely get messages, likes, and views on Christian Mingle. I'm guessing it's because most people don't pay for the membership, which is too expensive!

I used ChristianMingle in late 2020 and in 2021. During the two times I used the site actively, Christian Mingle had 10 times more scam attempts and fake profiles than Zoosk or OurTime. In the photo is a common profile type. I received many contacts from profiles like these. They are of no value.

One day in 2021 I received 21 messages that had all the warning signs the sites give to identify a scam.

In every situation during the two times I was active on Christian Mingle when I responded to a message, it quickly became clear the people were seeking to scam me.

ChristainMingle's marketing is excellent, its product is not. Buy hey, it feels great to think that in every state in the nation there are many women 40 years younger than me who want to meet me! I might keep my subscription for that reason alone --- nah.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from ChristianMingle

After my husband passed away I reluctantly decided to try online dating. Thinking a Christian website might be a bit more genuine than others, I paid $50 for a month of fake profiles, fake contacts, fake people and fake customer service. There is NOTHING real about this website. Just scammers trying to take advantage of vulnerable people wanting to make a genuine connection.

Tip for consumers:
Save your money. Don't sign up.

I paid for a year's subscription and most of the time I have a message in my inbox and log on, it gives me errors. Sometimes it says I need to subscribe. It is so infuriating most of the time when I can't carry on a decent conversation. I told them and asked for my money back, but they are not responding. Do not waste your time with this place. It is a scam.

Tip for consumers:
Their site doesn't work most of the time and they don't give refunds. They are a scam.

I recently signed up for Christian Mingle and all I was able to do was receive troll posts from free accounts that were quickly removed by Christian Mingle. They use to offer chat rooms but they are long gone. I really don't know what they offer for current $50 CAD per month they charge. Do not waste, your time creating even a free profile.

This site USED to be good. Now it seems the only users active on it are scammers. It actually looks like the site makes deceitful profiles because a profile will sound legit and it will say the user was online today but then if I send a smile or a message to the user, that user does not even show up in the list of those who viewed my profile. I am not a 10 but I am attractive enough that my profile gets looked at.
While connected I get a barrage of smiles sent from men with the username "Mingler..." and no profile picture or significant description, in other words, scammers. Those scammers should not be permitted on the site.

Due to unfortunate event I find myself single and I thought this would be a good site/app. I'm not looking for hook-up, I'm looking for a relationship. So I tried to set up an account with CM...

That was a mistake, the suspended my account and asked for a whole bunch of personal documents, such as bills and IDs. Look this is just a dating site at its core, you should never be asked by a site like this for such personal information. It was not a hassle I needed right now, I'm still trying to recover from the reasons that brought me to the site in the first place.

I have made several complaints but they never find the person in their profiles. At least 11 of the men that contacted me were scammers. With fake pictures. And after texting a guy for 2 months turns out to be he confessed he was 23 years old from Nigeria and that they were a group of them doing these to get money out of women I did not give him a cent. One of them after texting 3 times wanted to get married and wanted me to send him half of the money to open a Real Estate.

I saw one of the commercials and decided to sign up. I paid my money and got to talking with a few nice ladies. Finally, I met one and although it didn't work out, we've become great friends. I have another date coming up soon, hopefully things work out better this time. I really need a good shuffle board partner!

Christianmingle as a company is pretty honest. They promptly refunded my account when I changed from 3-months to one month.

On the negative sided:
*I was contacted by Many scamers from day one.
*Navigating the Website is Painfully Slow.
*Often some tabs (like 'who Liked me') Do Not Work.
*Pool of eligible quality singles is so small; no matter how much you expand the radius.

*It's over priced.

Tip for consumers:
Painfully slow with Lots of Scammers
