Match.com

Dan, you are right. I've also seen a lot of these reviews and the pattern does seem the same. Somebody has some minor problem on the site, can't send an email or thinks he/she has been billed too much, and bam, "let's go and write bad reviews everywhere as punishment". I have been on several dating sites and I would say Match is definitely among the better ones. You have to remember they have millions of members and in that lot there's always going to be some complainers. Provided you keep positive and stay open minded meeting someone is not difficult on there. BTW, I agree with Daniela you can't blame a site for an experience with one bad person. Be positive and as in any situation you have to use common sense until you really know someone, and by that I mean meeting in person, not chatting online. Good luck!

well the reviews for this site are not what i expected. i was about to sign up but have since changed my mind. thank you

I've read dozens of reviews for various sites and they all seem to share the same pattern, bad reviews outnumber the good ones 10-1!! i believe I'm quite a decent fella but I've been single for some time. On these sites, much like in real life, women claim to want a nice guy, you know, 'the perfect man' stuff! Fact is, they don't care if you're a good person, they are only interested if you have god-like looks and a chiselled body!! I'm no oil painting but I'm certainly not ugly. I haven't had sex for a long time but that's some way down the list of what I'm looking for! I would rather spend my entire monthly wage spoiling a great girl than going out with the lads! Has this got me any nearer to a meaningful relationship? Of course not! My philosophy is simple... it's 2011, we no longer have to do all the chasing! If a girl is genuinely interested, she will make the effort to talk to you! Using this theory I may be single for the rest of my life but it's better than having my feelings smashed by some superficial tart on an ego trip!!

I have been off match for over 4 months. They will not let me hide my profile. I am still receiving winks and e-mails along with weekly matches. They continue to harass while cause problems with my girlfriend (not from match). When will they stop! I have been a good customer for the last 7 years, is this the way to treat a good customer! I will never return to match even if it was free!

Looking for fling with girls and women. I'm 6ft4 tall muscular and handsome new to this looking forward to meeting interesting girls and women who are beautiful, as i believe girls will be interested when they see me face to face absolutely I'm sure.

The good -- There are TONS of profiles here. Many very attractive women. A robust search engine. A number of alternate ways to find appropriate mates other than searching.

The bad -- Tons of profiles seem to be a double edged sword. There are lots of women to email, and then... nothing. On this site I get perhaps a third the response rate of OkC and PoF. You have to pay extra to see if women have read your email.

This site has a ton of upsells -- chemistry.com, matchTalk (to call them), to see if they're reading your emails... They're likely not worth it.

My own experience, men lie in their profiles. I met a man that claimed to be 5 years younger than what he was, claimed to be athletic and was sooo thin, claimed to be adventurous and was not, claimed to be divorced but the man never married, air brushed his picture to look handsome and was not, he was rude and insensitive. Never again!

I am 18 years of age and want somebody/man to chat and mabey flirt with and who knows maybe we can begin a relationship.

I reported several phishing profiles and they closed my account without a refund!! Probably I reported some of their own "animators" When I ask why they closed it, they told me to bring a court order for subpoena. A pretty mediocre website from a technical perspective with sloppy instant messaging and limited search options e.g. one cannot search by "willingness to relocate" (see my comment about distance). You will always have better chances if the girl lives within 30 miles or less of you. Don't try long distance, because having so many male to choose from, they will just pass you for the next local guy. (Male to female ratio must be 3-4 to 1). Hope these comments help.

Let's put it this way match.com is not a site that I would recommend, I know someone who has 2 accounts on match.com (armand1333 and armandexplorer), same person but 2 different account so you tell me if that person is really serious. If he was serious why would he be online one both account at the same time and by the way this person has a wonderful girlfriend but typical man always thinks the grass is greener elsewhere, what a joke........
