CatholicMatch

I've tried CatholicMatch out of inquisitiveness. I was trying to find a Christian woman. But CatholicMatch was not helpful at all. They make it look like their pool of women is very large and the overwhelming majority of them are family-oriented, serious and very beautiful ladies with the heart of gold. But it is not true at all! They pretend to be Christians but in fact they try to rob you at every opportunity. This site is full of fake profiles. Bots are used to send you template letters and to keep you interested. Also there are quite many scammers from all over the world who pretend to be living in your city.

Guess what? This guy that i met here we were exchanging message in this site until we decided to talk by phone. Then we decided to meet but then the night before we meet he ghosted me by not answering my call. His profile was gone but ones i click where we exchanged our messages before in the site, He's profile is still there. So I'm just wondering if this guy whom i talked to is one of the employees of Catholic match. Seems weird. This is not a good dating site. It's questionable.

The vast majority of "users" were sleeping members ie their subscriptions had run out years ago or they never joined in the first place. The rest were scammers and there are A LOT of scammers on this site.
I was lured back onto this site by a cheap offer and repeated notifications about a "message" from someone "local", who turned out to be a scammer. There was a change to Terms and Conditions mid-contract and the forums are now so heavily censored; the only conversations to be had are the sort one had at the age of 14. I understand 85% of users are from the US, with only 15% from the rest of the world. This means there are very few users in individual countries outside the US. Sadly customers tend to be treated with disrespect which makes for an uncomfortable user experience. With 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, the market would prove lucrative to new competitors.

I've had memberships on and off since 2008 asked been sorely disappointed, having much better acquaintances of Catholic single men off-line. From a woman's perspective, CM attracts people who are desperate to find someone but unwilling to put in the time of their own character development or simply too immature to possess the capacity for the Sacrament of Marriage. From lying about his annulment, to not being able to keep a job, to stalkers, CM attracts them. In large part because there is no screening process whatsoever; even when they are provided with a Court Order of Protection, they claim they cannot assist in honoring it. Safety, let alone attracting quality people, is not an objective let alone a priority.

I've been a member for 3 months of a 6-month subscription and have two issues:

(1) The free videos tell us to send messages to people, but the message interface is really quirky and a pain to use. Since this is the primary means for members to connect, I expect it to work well.

(2) I rarely communicate with anyone on Catholic Match! I'm a friendly, average looking female, and hardly anyone looks at my profile, much less, sends a message. I currently have 10 messages I've sent that are still "Unread." This just seems unlikely that men my age aren't reaching out OR responding.

I've never been on a dating site, so I don't have a point of reference, but I've been unimpressed. I really like that you can match based on your beliefs, so it's disappointing.

Got reported and in trouble for saying "Let's talk on Facebook," because wanting to talk offsite is "a security risk," they said. That's complete bollocks; I'M the one taking the risk and saying "Please contact me." They said that conversations must remain on CatholicMatch.com, which'll cost me $40 (might vary by region and currency) per month! I'd be fine with that if they accepted that users may well actually truly want to date in person, but the way they ban any attempt to actually talk to users beyond just on their site where they make their money makes it obvious that this website isn't funny Catholics at all. They're greedy, nasty folk who exploit the users. This website is just another money grab.

Catholic match is a rip off. They banned me fir life just checking their opinion on premarital sex.If anyone is offended by any questions they will ban you for life. Tge candidates they have are never NEVER in your area. They monitor every word you write and you have no freedom. Deborah is heartless and doesn't care about you or your feelings. Please do not get ripped off like me. Money doesn't grow on trees. There are so many FAKE profiles and the women here are not and I mean NOT serious about meeting you. STAY AWAY!

Could have been that I just had bad luck, but I wouldn't recommend this site. I met a couple people who were nice, but just not my type which is totally fine and to be expected. But I was also ghosted on a few times. Call me old fashioned, but I think if you take the time to pursue a woman and send multiple messages back and forth/ make plans to meet, you could have the courtesy to just tell her that you're not interested instead of disappearing. I mean that's what I did with the people I didn't hit it off with. That just seems like the respectful and Christian thing to do. Bottom line: people are the same everywhere, no matter their questions to those very pointed and personal religion related questions that CatholicMatch makes you answer. If you don't expect better than the usual, you may not be disappointed. Or you may have great luck and meet the perfect person. Either way just be smart and realistic. This isn't the only way to connect with other Catholics.

I went on the Catholic Match site and immediately received many suitors prior to payment. But as soon as I paid for the one month, all of these people disappeared. What a rip off! I immediately deactivated within the second week. Warning- do not waste your money on this site. I had to learn the hard way. It is very sad to think that for years I have felt like a failure in love. Then, Catholic Match destroyed what self esteem I had left. Shame on this site. Absolutely pathetic!

After some bad experiences with men who are not Catholics I decided I wanted someone with the same believes as me.
I found Catholic Match and decided to give a try. I got 6 month subscription and was very active. I loved the forum area and made some friends during my time.
My subscription was finishing and I hadn't been lucky. They extended it for another 6 months.
After 2 months and some not so nice dates, I met my husband on the website. He had joined Catholic Match just 2 weeks before finding me.
My counsel to those who are still looking for three right one is keep trying. The majority of people in this website don't have a paid subscription, so they can't reply your messages. Join the forums and for men, please take chance and invite those girls for a date. That's what my husband did.

I sent the owners emails of their rules being totally unfair. I said I was eligible for marriage with my priest telling me so. They wanted a signed note from him. I would be embarrassed to bother my priest for a dating site not expecting to be married in the near future. They decided they didn't like me after I said this and tried requesting my money back making my time on the site very negative and hurtful. They pretended they wanted to help me find a husband in long distance relationship, initially. I wasn't looking for a husband exactly. Just friendship with someone closer by.
They censored my messages and even changed what I said to one member. Every Other person I sent a message to didn't reply back. No one messaged me. There has to be something very wrong with this. Owners are very deceptive. Not Christian or Catholic at all. Very disappointing experience. I ever had.

Signed up for an annual plan and wanted to quit after just a month and change. Asked for a refund and they said no. No one really responds and the pool of people is quite low. Some people are also downright rude or arrogant - no better than a free subscription to OkCupid. Outside of outwardly displaying your Catholicisim, nothing really Catholic about this site.
