I'm just wondering how profiles get shown on the site. I am a pretty attractive female and have a lot to offer. I have received emails from only 7 men since joining Match.com in November and none of them were even in my age group. It also seems like days go by without a notification that anyone has even looked at my profile. This really just seems strange to me. Is that normal?

I feel the same way Teresa, i have been on the site for 1 year now and cancelled my subscription, but was told it won't officially cancel until May because i waited to late after my initial sign up day, so i got stuck with another year. I am a handsome guy with a lot to offer, but for some reason never really got emails as i expected, i started to think the people profiles were fake or the women i was interested in didn't know a good man if his profiled slapped them in the face, just sayN. 41, recently divorced for little over a year, highly educated, working in my profession, make close to six figures, single, don't cheat, great personality, smart, don't play, and real down to earth... but i guess no one believed it or didn't like my handsome picks... IDK. Confused!

Being a guy I'd comment I think I would try and find my profile as if I was looking for someone like you and see if it it turns up. But I agree with the other answers a lot is not what it appears there. I can say with some certainty that someone who has not logged in to check messages for three weeks or more probably has left (or thought they left match). I suspect they keep these profiles active to pad the number of profiles there. I've seen some women locally who are still there and have been for a decade I don't understand what is up with that - probably rich and spoiled.

If you want to get any value for your money I'd look at the guys and if you think they are real just email them rather than hope for a reply. Most people I met there were nicer in their profile than they were in person one was a shrew another might be a black widow (she med her late husband there only five years ago) he died and she has him cremated without a service and jumped right back into dating (she had no sadness or remorse over his loss which I found troubling). Match is not what it seems regardless...

Yes, hundreds of women constantly viewing your profile, but no one ever contacts you. It's the same procedure as all these other scam sites. Once they have your money or credit card information, all the messages stop. They use fake profiles stolen from Facebook or porn websites to draw you in, and then that's when you get robbed. They'll take the scenic route to refunding your money or closing your account and if you don't watch them, they'll sign you up for other sites and start charging your credit card for them. It's best not to get involved with these criminals, because you won't win. They will.
