Match

Beware of photoman919. He is a liar and can be very charming. He is a manipulator and will take you for a ride and then dump you. Don't fall for him.

Terrible app. I clicked unsubscribe several times over the last month and they are still spamming me with 4-5 emails a week.

I am a physically fit male, seeking a long term relationship with a women. I am successful in my career, and financially independent. Match.com is not the place to find a quality relationship. Would not recommend.

I signed up for 3 months, and decided on this dating system due to my busy schedule. Clearly, the site attracts many undesirables. Have noticed a litany of so called match profiles, with middle aged women (40 or so) and are seeking men or boys starting from 18 to twenty something, " for long term relationship". Many subscribers state they have children, as well, contain a major shopping list of their expectations of the partner they seek. I can't help but question the intelectual capacity of these individuals, as well the legitimacy of such profiles, and the necessity of a reality check.

Furthermore, have recieved many sarcastic first time responses from women, criticizing my income expectation of the partner I seek, and my photos demonstrating my upper body physique. Many of these rude emails come from women who may have a variety of barriers in obtaining their fantasy relationship.

Women on this site dramatically reduce their estimated real life age. As was the case in a few occasions when I met of women who stated in their profile were 40, and we're obviously much older, perhaps early 50's. What a turn off, and may have to seek counselling for this later.

Furthermore, beware of profiles with out pictures. Many are scams, and you will be communicating with a website or machine, prompting you to down load certain APPs to communicate.

The match.com site requires better screaming of their clientel as a start. However, will never waiste my money again on such a program.

I'm concerned MATCH has the ability to hack more money from my account! What can I do for recourse? BTW they are unresponsive in replying!

I opened an account on match.com, paid good hard earned money to keep it open, now the girls on match.com like to dress like streetwalkers, almost to the point of being $#*! nude! So, I decided to flash my goods, I dnt mean my manhood, I'm talking about my cash, I literally set up my pic of me holding $7,000.00 fanned out smiling in my ride! & wtf does Match.com do, they call my Pic inappropriate & offensive, I'm like wtf kind of metoo, feminazi, manhating b. S. is this, these whores cn show their nipples, vagina, & freshly waxed buttholes on match.com, but I can't show I am a man of means?!?! Needless to say, Match.com forced me to shut down my account, so basically, their just another manhating ameri$#*! company, they want only women succeeding, but u can't be a successful man on match.com, no, they want u like a loser begging dog if ur a str8 American man! My advice, well, try anything for hookups tht u dnt have to pay for, cz as u can see, just cz u pay for a match.com website dsnt promise results, or the fact u'll be treated fairly, & not discriminated against cz ur one of the few last str8 American males on their!

I sat on the free trial for several days, considering whether I would join, during that time a got a message that I had one message I could answer for free. Attached to it was an email. I was so new to this, and excited to have taken this step. Anyways I paid for six months but upon the first day, this scammer had his hooks into me. Convinced me, that in order to work on a relationship, we should leave the site. For three weeks, loved bombed then, he said he wanted to send me something from over seas. He sure did, 148 long stemmed roses and a teady bear. Then 4 weeks, things started to get weird. He's asking me for 5000us. Now he's angry! I'm like I don't have that kind of money and a man that is able to send me that amount of flowers, doesn't need to be asking me for money. Then the extortion came, I was video you. I'm like so what. Not much of a video. But now I was scared. Had the police in the house, notified credit bureau, knew my identy meaning pictures have been stolen. Moneygram and western union notified. FDF Flowers, note they didn't return my call they promised. And then match... Fought with them at how they were putting members at risk with their site. Argued that they were aware that email was sent to me and that they should have notified me, I was at risk. Don't you think a flag would go up, joins one day and then the next gone. My life has been a mess for two months dealing with this ordeal. I was ready to love again and now I'm too afraid too. So much more to say, but you get the idea. It's not safe, from the young to the old, scammers are there and ready to bounce and match does nothing to protect you.

March 2018 Match.com is such a fraud. After taking time to create a profile and being specific about the type of men I was interested in meeting based on their questionnaire and my personal preferences they were still matching me up with men that were not compatible by any means. If I said It was important for me to meet a non-smoker, they would match me up with smokers. If I said I was interested in meeting men with the same religious preferences they were matching me up at high percentages with men who were either not religious or "other". If I stated that I was interested in a certain age or race you get the point. Finally, I figured I would ask for the remaining of my money back seeing that they were just matching me up with ANYBODY. I asked and they refused to do so. Before canceling my membership I received a notice from them asking if I would rate their site. I thought oh yasss, boy will I love to rate their fake site! I was honest in saying, that I would not recommend this site to anyone and I explained why. Well after that they got mad and the admin staff behind the scene which sees and controls everything you say and do instantly put a stop to anyone contacting me any further. I went from meeting 4 - 6 new men every other day, in which most were never my type but... However, after I gave them a poor online rating meeting anyone new immediately can to a halt and all conversation with new men contacting me was no more for weeks. When I approached them about it and told them I knew they were behind controlling who was able to contact me or not able to contact me, they, of course, denied it and the very next day there were 3 new men who reached out to me (yah right). Funny thing was the way these two men profile was worded you knew it was Match.com who sent me the fake conversation from members who didn't exist. They are so full of it and that's putting it very nicely. Don't waste your money it's really not worth the diasspoint.

DON'T WASTE MONEY OR TIME ON THIS SITE- IT IS A MONEY SCAM-GETTING YOU TO SPEND MONEY TO BUY POINTS-INSTEAD OF MONTHLY OR QUARTLY SERVICE-TOTAL RIPOFF-THEY GUARANTEE A DATE-YOU DON'T GET THAT EITHER.

I was chating with a fake account. They were not a real person, and they didnt want to refund me. It was a rip off.

I am from the "baby boomers era" and I have been divorced for 25 years. I have not had time to find a special someone because of a career and education. Now I am online looking at a number of dating sites. I came upon match.com and bought a 6 month membership. Remember I said I was a baby boomer in my 60s, which according to some consumer reporting agencies make up 25% of match.com subscribers or 2.5 million boomers. I need to make some things very clear; while I am in my 60s I exercise 3 times a week at a gym, eat healthy, jog, ride my bike, water & snow ski, bowl, play badminton, work on my lawns. I am 5'6" tall, and 132 lbs, my metabolic age is 49, and my BMI is 19.3. I want to share a quick story; about a month ago I accepted a day together with a 58YO lady. The next day I called her and her daughter wanted to know what I did to her mother. I told her what we did the day before. The daughter said her mother was resting and did NOT ever want to talk to me again, she said I was too active and needed that style woman. But here is the bite in the butt; I have been TOTALLY unsuccessful getting a date with a younger woman, who I probably would not kill from my active life style. Match.com wants matches age for age. Women in their 40s DON'T want men in their 60s; they want men in their 30s and early 40s. It is a shame that match.com and the women there don't understand there are finer things in life then just an age grouping. I will add; match.com customer service SUCKS! Match.com sends me daily a list of women that supposedly match my profile. I was pretty clear in stating I will NOT date out of my race, and I will NOT travel more then 25 miles. Obviously, they need a map and a colour chart! Maybe I am being much like the women I criticize, looking for a more youthful individual.

Dont sign up for this. Its like video loot boxes. Youll pay one amt & increase your odds by spending

I signed up for a 3-month service and had a terrible experience with it. Today (12/11) I got an email from PayPal telling me that they Match charged my account $65.97 which I never authorized. I called Match customer service (which appears to be a call center somewhere overseas) and they were VERY RUDE. Each person I spoke with had an accent and was very difficult to understand. I asked to cancel this ReNEWED subscription and refund my money, only to be told that they could only refund $29.98. This is completely unexceptable - only 10 hours prior they could take my money and now they can't refund the whole amount. The 'girl' said there is nothing she could do, which is what she is told by her upper management! I asked to speak to her superviser - which took over 20 minutes to get on the phone- and she told me that her supervisor will tell me the same thing. Marlene was the supervisors name, and she was equally RUDE and very hard to understand and told me the same load of crap.

Match.com steals your money, and are more than happy to do so. No company has the right to automatically take your money and then only refund a portion of it. STAY away from this company and any company that will automatically take your money and NOT refund the full amount!

As I read through the list of other reviews for Match.com, I see that I am not the only one to have this experience. Which tells me the customer service responses are scripted and they will not budge to make the customer happy. I seriously hope the the powers that be at Match know what the hell is going on - Ha I am sure they do and they just don't care.

The kicker, I joined for 3 months and not 1 match! DO NOT USE THIS DATING SERVICE it is a scam! I don't even think half the people they have on their searches are even real - I would 'Like' someone and within 15 minutes it would show their profile is now 'Hidden" - this happened 4 times to me. I call BS on Match!

Why do the women do not respond to me when I match what they are looking for? I sent over 400 E-mails and only got 14 responses (10 were SCAMMERS)

Save your money, don't sign up and get sucked in by all the nice photos! Once they have your info

I signed up for a Match.com account because of their 'match guarentee' that says if you don't find someone within 6 months, you'll get another 6 months free. However, when the 6 months came around, and all the criteria had been met, I instead found myself charged over $120 from an automatic renewal fee. Apparently they sent an email that I never received, in which I had to accept the free 6-months. Since I never got the email, and thus, couldn't accept the free 6-month membership, they found that it made sense to charge my account instead. They didn't want to make me take the free trail (in case I didn't want to contiue the membership), but they didn't feel bad about charging me for another six months in lieu of the free trail, stating their 'nobel' cause, "For your convenience and to avoid an interruption in communication with your matches."

When I caught the charge, there was no refund, no prorated refund for the remaining months. No flexibility. No ethical approach.

I would never recommend Match. They are a money-making ploy with a few lucky people in the middle. Instead of using Match, I would recommend E-harmony. Or, for those of you who don't want to spend any money, try one of the free sites WITHOUT hidden charges. Tinder, for example! Just be forthright in your bio. No one likes sneaky people. You can't respect them.

It takes a lot for me to write a bad review. It kinda crushes my soul to do so. However, simultaneously, my blood is boiling. I feel taken advantage of and played. How I hate that feeling! I hate even more the fact that they refused to even try to make things right. I can't respect that. I can't respect Match.

I first spoke with someone in online chat. They gave me a prompted answer in no way served my case on an individual letel basically said we are done here and signed out a waste of an hour wait! Then waited another hour to get someone on the phone to be told same thing did not bother to even look into my account for what i was asking. (i had called because in process of making sure my subscription had cancelled previously as computer was loading i hit the wrong button that said buy now. It took me to confirm purchase screen i went vack to get out of there and payment had been taken without me even hitting that button) so on the phone i asked for a manager multiple times was told the manager would not be able to help. After arguing all of a sudden they could partially refund, something i never even confirmed buying. I still asked for manager whom gave me same prompt then after wasting more time arguing they looked into my account and saw i had not even used it as i said then finally said i could be refunded. So 3 hrs of my time and life wasted $500 bounced check later i can have money back that should not have been taken from me. Had my credit card not been on file they never could have done that i would have HAD to hit the CONFIRM purchase button then enter my information. But since they had it they did not care if i confirmed and took it upon themselves to take my money and try to get around it with a bs pollicy which i would have understood if i had actually used the site. So moral of the story be weary and careful prople if they have your info one wrong click can cost you alot of money. Im just glad i was finally granted what was mine even though now it must go to bounced check fees. So i guess i still lose in the end to this scam

I joined Match.com a year ago and had a terrible, terrible experience. I created a genuine profile seeking a genuine woman for a long-term relationship. I literally sent out many messages to women, probably well over a 100, only to get a few responses... 19 year old out of my geographical area, in a different country, or responses of women with no pics. I was fed up and I cancelled. This month, July, 2017, I joined again on their 1 month promotion, in hopes of a better experience... WHAT A SHOCK... as soon as I created a profile, again fake reply's and young women in different country's started rolling in. The women in my area that are suppose to be active members are not. I complained to the call center of Match as you will not get through to anyone that is actually employed by the company. The call center rep was extremely RUDE to me and spoke to me like a kindergarten child with autism... constantly repeating herself, and speaking over me... would not even listen to the concerns. I then went online and used the Match 72 hour complaint customer care email line only to find out that the next day they deleted my profile... I received an email from Match noon time that same day saying, I quote (" Please know that due to our terms of use, your Match account has been terminated, we cannot disclose specifics> if you wish to obtain additional information, a valid SUBPOENA SEARCH WARRANT, OR COURT ORDER DIRECTED TO MATCH IS REQUIRED"). What kind of joke is this? I had to call my visa provider, FRAUD dept to get the multiple charges by Match.com reversed. I WOULD NEVER, EVER USE THIS DATING SITE AGAIN! HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, AND A BIG WASTE OF TIME!

I signed up for Match.com this morning to see if anything changed. Their latest change? You can only view the first six profiles in the search results, with an "upgrade to view them all" message at the bottom. It's clear that they want you to use their Tinder-like "Top Picks" feature, which just displays random profiles.

Everything Match Group (the company that owns Match.com and all of the other popular dating apps/websites) touches turns to garbage. Examples:

Tinder

- Crap profiles (not looking for serious relationships, full of emojis, stupid animated pics, etc.)
- Too many ads (but you can pay to get rid of them!)
- Withholds likes to entice you to upgrade to Gold (you'll have new likes, but they won't be shown in your stack)
- Even with a paid subscription, your profile will never be seen unless you pay for boosts
- Outrageous prices for subscriptions and consumables (boosts, superlikes, etc.)

OkCupid

- Removed features (in order): Forums, personality tests, visitors, usernames, open messaging, last online, SEARCH! (can only swipe now)
- Limited likes per day without upgrading (lower than 10!)
- Mandatory 2FA (so they can sell your phone #)

Plentyoffish

- Fake profiles (less than before, but they still exist. It was REALLY bad when Craigslist personals was discontinued - they allowed porn bots!)
- Latest desktop website redesign is unusable (very slow with tons of "your network connection is slow" and "no network connection" errors, reduced search options, unable to view new users without upgrading (although you can still sort search results by "newest first" - I'm sure they'll remove that next)
- No support (poor moderation of profiles, profiles without inappropriate content or behavior are deleted for no reason)
- Mandatory 2FA (so they can sell your phone #)

It's very clear that Match Group's focus is 100% profit and 0% customer satisfaction. It's only a matter of time before the company goes out of business.

Unfortunately, being single and 30 can leave people in a vulnerable place. I was hopeful and optimistic that Match.com would be a great service to me, despite so many negative reviews. (I've learned my lesson.)

I *thought* I had canceled my Match.com account after my initial 3 months, but apparently did not do it correctly. (I even received an email saying to "sign up" again to see the profiles of people interested in me) Shockingly, I received an email about 15 days later with the name and profile photo of a man who was "interested in me." I was confused, because I thought I had canceled, so I logged back into my account to re-cancel, and then disputed the claim with my credit card company.

Fast forward 2 months: I honestly cannot believe the letter I just got in the mail of Match.com rebutting my dispute claim to my credit card company. The "evidence" of their rebuttal was that I had "logged into Match.com 374 times in the past 6 months" when 373 of those times was during my initial 3 months that I agreed to! The *1* time I logged in after my unapproved second charge was because I was in shock that my account was still activated after de-activating it, so I went back in to cancel it for good this time. (Or so I thought I had deactivated it... apparently, I did it wrong the first time.) Match has no sympathy for their customers or their mistakes in canceling. Their letter to my credit card company was humiliating and defamatory of my name. They know that I did not actually "use their services" after attempting to cancel. I simply logged in to CANCEL it! That does not count as "using their services!"
They also listed the fact that I used "the same card initially" when signing up with the service. Of course I did! Because I initially did want to use Match.com, and then realized it wasn't working for me so tried to cancel. They simply do not care. Any reputable company would credit me back my $80 after realizing my story and my simple mistake that many can accidentally make. If their services are so "good," they wouldn't need to nickel and dime their customers. Shame on Match.com for taking advantage of lonely, single people. Shame. What a crock.

After canceling about 14 months ago, they charged me $60. Found my amazing fiancé on EHarm. Go there.

Know lots of new friends here.
Really good.
Love this.
It gives me lot of help.

The prices are steep. I am not a fan of recurring billing. Must have a glitch.

I have used Match.com on and off for a few years. It was above the boards in the beginning, but as time went by, greed took over and it became a "Bait and Switch". I understand of course that profit is the motivating factor behind any business venture, and I fully endorse it. However, there is a point when greed surpasses morality and the venture becomes dishonest... Match.com passed that line miles ago!
Q: Are the profiles real?
A: Yes, for the most part.
They do however have false profiles (Bots) in the system designed to deceive the potential user. When a potential customer posts a "FREE" profile, he/she will be inundated with winks, likes, and email from other users. (Some are from real paying users) You can't read them unless you pay to join. As soon as you do, and try to reply to these goddesses from all around your area, "Surprise!" Suddenly 90% of them don't exist. This is what's known as a "bait and switch" It is in fact illegal, but to pursue any legal course simply isn't worth the individual's effort. When you cancel your subscription, the BOTS are again activated and you are hit again with false replies. Never mind you didn't hear from a soul the entire time you were a paying member.
Q: Can you communicate with other members?
A: Yes... Sorta'.
You paid right? You should be able to email anyone you like right? WRONG! You can send an email to anyone you like... and they will receive it if their profile was not intentionally deactivated (hidden or deleted) by the user. However, unless the recipient is a paying member, they can't open it nor respond. (BUT YOU PAID WITH THE EXPECTATION OF BEING ABLE TO SEND EMAILS AND RECEIVE A RESPONSE) Also, unless the user deletes or hides their profile upon quitting the site, it remains visible. That means that about 90% of the profiles you are viewing belong to users who no longer visit the site... and of the ones that do, only paying members can be contacted and respond (I don't know, but that's probably only a couple percent of the profiles you are viewing)
Q: Can anybody browse my profile?
A: Yes. HOWEVER...
This is the part that pissed me off the most. Now you can pay for "Top Spot". That means that you can pay extra (it ain't cheap) to show up in the searches during peak traffic times. Essentially, what that means is that unless you pay extra, almost no one will see your profile when browsing (especially in urban and metropolitan areas) It's exactly the same a paying to skip the line at an amusement park.

I get it... Really! It's truly brilliant and creates an unbelievable revenue stream for Match.com. I do applaud them for that, but in reality it's a "gorilla warfare business tactic"... and it preys on the emotions of the public. From a consumer standpoint, you're getting hosed. As long as you know the aforementioned information going into it... Go for it. It is what it is... it does work (as well as shopping for love in a false reality can... everyone's lying).
