Match.com

I find that Match is a well designed website with some amazing features, but there is one drawback that makes the site pretty useless to use.

The majority of profiles on the site are profiles of people who are non-paying members, and to a match subscriber, non-paying members are worthless because they cannot read nor reply to subscriber’s e-mails. It would be really nice if non-subscribers were listed as such, and therefore it would save a lot of time for those who actually subscribe because there is no way of knowing when looking at profiles, who are viable and compatible singles.

Also, if you are a subscribing member, it is very frustrating to send out e-mails to people who are new and who never read your advances because they are not interested or because they actually cannot answer (so they never really receive it). As I see it, if you are inactive for over three days you are most likely a non-subscriber because if you were a paying member you wouldn’t be inactive considering you are paying for a service.

Thus I find that the community becomes useless unless you are able to actually talk with all of the members on the website, because otherwise you waste your time contacting those who won’t reply, or those who cannot do so.
