The first few days I signed up for Match, it seemed my profile got a decent amount of attention. I could see how many people viewed me, liked my profile, etc., and I was hopeful. I got some messages. I also sent out a decent amount of messages, and unfortunately, received no responses. I still pressed on. Then after a couple of weeks, I started noticing that the number of people who even just viewed my profile dropped significantly. Soon, it was almost none - maybe one or two every few days. I started thinking, are they not putting my profile out anymore? I found it hard to believe that no one was even just looking (not saying liking it, just viewing it). But, I told myself, maybe this just isn't meant for me, and no one is really interested (not trying to sound pitiful, just saying I stopped trying to blame Match). So I canceled my membership, however, since I had paid for three months, it was still active for another couple of weeks.
Then, literally on the day my account went inactive, I got six notifications through email that people "liked" my profile, messaged me, were interested in me. I tried to check, thinking maybe I had one more day... and sure enough, got a message saying my account was deactivated, and I would have to renew my subscription to see the messages. How convenient.
