Horrible and depressing
October 15, 2013

Horrible and depressing. First I was "matched" with people in my immediate community and it was very clear that AARP took nothing about my cultural, educational or preferences to consider my matches. Then when I gave them feedback about this, as I am not "married" to where I live, then I was "matched" for a "date" with out of state men, some clear across the country, The message I got was that there was NO one available near me to consider. Also the feedback or how are we doing is not friendly and I get the impression that they really don't want feedback, otherwise they want money.

I have only been part of this AARP sanctioned dating site for a month or so but it is without a doubt the worst and most customer-unfriendly and expensive online service anyone could imagine, as these many previous reviews suggest.

Shame on AARP for being part of this: after all the articles on scams (including dating site fraud) in their own magazine, how dare they shun responsibility for this problem-riddled site, for unresponsive customer service, and for a lack of consideration for their own members.

If anyone has an idea of how to get AARP or "How about we " to pay attention to our very real concerns, I'd be happy to help in the effort.

I'm new to online dating/meeting. I trusted this site as I thought it was an AARP program.
It is NOT. It is HOWABOUTWE and has nothing to do with AARP.
No one at AARP knows anything about this inept program or website.
No tech support. The NY phone number, *******720, for HOWABOUTWE is not valid.
If you don't cancel within 3 days NO REFUND.
HOWABOUTWE website is all about FAQ... don't waste your money or time

My photos were nice. My profile was interesting and I am a good catch. Nobody "viewed" me or responded to my messages in 3 days. So. I deleted my account and asked for a refund.

Don't waste your money on this site. There are very few users. Most log on infrequently. Not worth a plugged nickle.

Just terrible
July 15, 2014

Just terrible. Only about 3 matches that were less than weeks old. Their vetting program is horrendous. Total of time and money.
