Match

Going on three weeks. Match.com offers some great tools to work with. They are not without flaws (I'm 70. A couple "perfect matches" were in their 30's. That's trying to BBQ a steak with a pilot light.) I've exchanged e-mails with a couple of very nice ladies. I'd like to meet them, in person. Hopefully, I will.

Don't take this program too seriously. You will be disappointed. They have a huge base, but you have to do the work. I'm given the option to say "No, thank you." if I don't see a profile match. I'm given several tools to let someone know I'm interested without jumping right into an e-mail conversation.

I'd recommend this program to any of my single friends... dead or alive.

This is probably the worse dating website you can imagine. There are very few actual people on the site looking for dating relationship. Most are pure scammers and Match does nothing to weed them out. Waste of your time and money stay away.

Worst site I have ever used Fake profiles/Scammers and a billing process you can only cancel is by cancelling your credit card. Google rates this site as No1, I will never believe a google search ever again.
I paid 6 months membership and got reply from 10 scammers and about 15 fake people (younger that the age i set claiming to be older) obviously no checks and balances. Dont believe computer search engines for rating web sites look for reviews of people who have tried them.

Am quite a switched on person, so realised early on I was being messaged
By a scammer. However, tried to delete my photo and my details and am unable
To do it. Match.com not great at stopping taking money, so you will have to change your
Card. A lot of fake profiles, not valid and one main concern was a scammer using photos of a U.S. army serviceman, supposedly now living here in a Scotland. I genuinely thought he
Looked handsome. He does exist somewhere in the U.S. The poor guy probably has photos
Of himself and his family on Facebook etc and doesn't know that someone has copied them and used them. Well dodgy. Worryingly, it seems too easy to do.

Navigating the Match.com website is worse. In fact, it's pretty close to impossible.
If you see someone you're interested in writing to, be careful... if you leave their profile page, it's next to impossible to get back to it.

Match sends out an almost daily email that says, "45 people have looked at your profile!' Hmmmmm. Is that supposed to be a good thing?... because while 45 people may have looked... zero have written. (Maybe Match should re-think that email. I would definitely stay away from this site.

After the first week I tried to quit, but I'd inadvertently signed up for three months. Getting out is a lot harder than getting in.

Don't do it!

After several years of subscribing, my 6 month subscription had ended. I was on my smart phone to hide my profile and accidentally clicked on the one click subscribe button. And of course, I was automatically billed for another 6 mos. I attempted to contact Match.com through their customer service link which is obviously intentionally difficult to find. Evidently, they don't want to provide customer support because they didn't reply in either case when I complained about my unintentional subscription. Therefore, I contacted American Express to get my money back. I got my money back, but Match blocked my account so that I can't even go into remove my photos or delete my profile

I have tried Match off & on for years and honestly have never met in person 1 single woman! I believe most members are male, many profiles are either fake, stale outdated or Match bots created to catch your cash or keep you as a paying member. For older folks like myself it's a complete waste of time/money and patience. Friends have confirmed the same basic complaints. Match also runs 8-10 other dating sites, they're all a waste of time! It's all a SCAM baby!
