Match.com Reviews

I paid for 6 months, after a few weeks they turned of my likes/matches to get me to pay more than the original membership. Hung up on numerous times by their out of country call center. A sham an rip off. Trash!

Investing money is one thing, wasting it is another. Don't waste it pointlessly on Match. Match is anything but a dating site. Most of my matches were ridiculously inappropriate or downright odd. There are a lot of dead profiles, that's why very few letters actually get replies. Apart from throwing poor matches at you who will never write you back, Match never filters off scammers. Whenever you see a pretty lady on Match, you should get suspicious. In all likelihood, if she shows interest in you, she will soon come up with some sort of sob story and ask you for money. If you value your time and money - just stay away Match!

What you've heard is true! Old, UN-active ads, the few real ones in your area don't think you'll notice when you meet them that they used a picture from at least 10 years ago!!! I'll stay alone! Same old ads, same real people who are on there for years. Hmmm wonder why! And wonder why Match doesn't tell anyone the prices! PATHETIC SCAM!

I was very specific in my profile and in my comments about just what I was looking for in a partner. Match sent me full pages of gay men and women, they sent me a photo of Joe Biden in front of the American flag, people whose faces you couldn't see because they were covered with hats, goggles and masks. A lot of people just having their fun at my expense and Match doesn't stop them. They really thought Biden was a possibility for me? And the scammers! If I could easily detect them, why couldn't they? If they're algorithms are so sophisticated, why do they allow them to get through to legitimate subscribers? $$$$$$ They could care less about your happiness unless it means a referral to them. To anyone out there, but especially women, before trying any online dating service, watch some YouTube videos about the typical dating scammer and how they operate. One guy from Match followed this step by step. Even found him on BBB where someone had filed a complaint against Match a few years ago under a different name, but he tried to do the same to me. And when they tell you, check out my website online, just remember, anyone can create a website. He just did a lousy job of it. Do your detective work. Don't accept excuses. Match, you should be ashamed. You don't even deserve one star for allowing people like that to join. You need to create a system with background checks. I, for one, would be much more likely to try it. But you've turned me off against all of them now.

These sites are ALL the same with many operated by the same parent company.

Tip: If you decide to join to ANY in the future only use Paypal (not a credit card). So far I have gotten refunds super quick from 2 scam sites that didn't live up to the hype. Also on PP, you can opt your settings to block auto renewals if they try to charge you again.

Sadly some ONLY offer payment via credit card, so stay away from those 100% if you do not want to empty your bank account.

I would like to make aware all people using Match.com dating site. I purchased a subscription for 6 months which was on offer for £4.99 a month. They charged me extra £9.99 a month without my consent. I contacted customer service and they are telling me this was an automatic change and they cannot refund my money and I have to pay this for 6 months. Looks like a direct fraud.

Beware of cheap special offers with impossible-to-understand small print intentionally designed to trick you. I thought I was going to pay £9.90 for the second month and they've just taken £49.89 for one month!!!!!!! This company is not honest!!!!!

Absolute scam and rip off. Kept saying my login details were wrong and never sent me a reset link, despite my requesting it 6 times. Also continued to take money from my account despite cancellation-they check your bank account on various dates until they can get it. Never again.

TRASH. Took my money and locked me out, no reason given, no customer service available. Thieves.

You gotta find a legit site like J4Dates.com or similar - this is the secret of turning dating from online to offline is very simple This is a solid and necessary base for actually finding your perfect match and building happy relationship. It's the cornerstone. Absolutely necessary. You must just stop wasting precious days, weeks, months or even years of your life on sites like Match – sites that were created for ripping people off. There scumbags lead you to believe they have plenty of potential matches for you. They are liars! The tactic is to lure you into buying membership which they will automatically upgrade and renew against your consent. All that you can ultimately get there is mental discouragement and eventually loneliness.

I've tried this app two different times in three years. Same exact experience both times. Match is ungodly expensive at $40 a month! Then, they want you to pay extra ($7) to be "boosted" for ONE HOUR! You also have to pay extra for other features.
Half of the profiles are fake.
I have never in my life come across more rude men than I have on match.com. And I've worked in bars and strip clubs. So not only do you get people messaging you that have qualities you have marked as dealbreakers, so many of them are horrible.
I don't date anybody with kids. Which is a dealbreaker. Why are 75% of my messages
from men with kids? Who then get angry at you when you politely turn them down? I was getting 20 to 30 messages a day. And the ones that I wasn't interested in, which was all of them, I just simply didn't reply to. Which I even put on my profile, if I don't reply it simply means I'm not interested. Which then prompted these people to send me more messages being rude that I didn't "say thank you" for the compliments. Or-continue sending more messages asking why I viewed their profile but didn't send them a message. Doesn't surprise me why so many of these people are single.
Stick with the free apps.

I've used it throughout the past 15 yrs and it has become the most non productive dating site over the choices out there. Unless you pay premium, you can not send or see messages. So, the no premium is a scam. Most of my matches were all out of state.And don't think that just because you're paying, you'll get better choices. I came across just as many fake profiles on match than on others. In addition to the expensive fees, they are gender bias. My male friend gets discounts of 10$/ month and I'm pretty sure it's because there are a lot less men then woman where i live. When I called they would only give me 33$/month. Lastly, I cancelled and it never went into their system so i was charged another 3 months and they refused to refund me, even after i have been a paying customer for so many years. Do not waste your money.

Was a profile member for several months until a mutual like, so decided to subscribe. The chat is very simple, you reply to a member's photo and exchange rapid fire messages on first day, nothing really intuitive, as they rarely read your profile it could be a robot responding (!) Then you ask for a voice call, "yeah, no problem", but busy tonight and tomorrow and oh by the way that's too soon (!) If you want to be wound up and made to feel a fool, subscribe it's good for character building (!) But I guess this model could be applied to ALL dating sites as it's the "online messaging" that makes them money.

As soon as I set up my profile, Match showed me an assortment of the ugliest mofos in my area. It was as if the app said, "Welcome to Match! Go $#*! yourself." I have seldom felt so disrespected. It didn't even *try* to start off showing me the best-looking people in my city at an attempt to strike a little hope in my heart — which leads me to wonder, what kind of business is this? When navigating the app for free, one's experience is incredibly limited. It's an app that *wants* your money. So what's going on? Although I didn't spend a single penny on Match (because ew), I feel like my short experience on it makes me entitled to financial compensation.

Joined about 2 weeks ago. So far the education and ethnicity of fellows I'd be interested in meeting has been ignored by the matchmakers and there are scammers, so beware. My membership is for a minimum three months at a cost of $35/month. These sites are more interesting for younger people but I won't be renewing membership at this age. The few fellows who have replied have been uninteresting and relatively uneducated. I'm onsite until August and if things change, I'll be updating my review. In the meantime if this saves a senior some money, all well and good.
