CatholicMatch

I have met some good and some bad people from CatholicMatch. The bad: there were people who didn't know what they wanted in life or wanted too much from a mate to a point of silliness and hypocritical. The good: some were very down to earth, not snobby, and did walked the talk regarding their Catholic faith. Like many things in life, there are good and bad, some honest and some not. My take about CatholicMatch is to try it, not have any high expectations, and most importantly, listen to your gut! I have been fortunate to meet a very, very, good Catholic. I'm giving them a 4 star rating because the site is not perfect. Best wishes.

You're right Michael Kelly. I only reenlist knowing that I can at least strengthen my faith with like thinking Catholics. Yes, it is really disappointing to see that most women expect you to live in their backyard. I would live in El Paso if it meant finding the right woman for me. Alaska? Let me think aboout it. Ha! Keep writing you brilliant Catholics

Even though I had a bad experience with the site (I was banned), after checking out similar sites I would still recommend it. The site does have good built-in security and the Catholic Match tries to keep their community safe, to a fault. The downside is that they have a zero tolerance policy and will not show any empathy for your situation. The ladies in customer service run a tight ship and only communicate via e-mail. I asked for a phone call to clarify what happened and they outright refuse to talk and there isn't even a direct phone number to call in. Catholic Match is the best Catholic dating site so if you decide to join, play by the rules and use your better judgment otherwise they aren't shy about banning you. If they decide to cancel your membership, they will refund you the full amount.

This site os full of men who are looking for a female species to propagate their seed or dirty old men looking for a grand-daughter figure. Plus the site does not even have a function to get rid of unwanted mail or profiles into a junk box.

The have a written policy at the top of the forums. It's about gossiping about other members. A member went out once with me to Starbucks in june. September he is mixing gossip/with fiction about our onetime meeting. He said I was too young yet was the one who contacted me. It states that a person cannot gossip about another or they will be removed for access to the forums. I've reported this. Then reported in the format they required and they said it was resolved and asked how They did I put that it was not. This is not the first time I've had a problem with their customer service. The offending posts remain yet they have it resolved? Sandy at Catholic match customer service said they can't say how it was resolved. Yet the posts remain.

I gave them no stars. The only two people who wanted to talk to me were the scammers. I am interested in men and they sent me both women and men.
The men on here are out of touch with reality. I am 53 and in menopause. I am not having any children.
I complained about it and they said they will fix it. They did not.
I paid for a year subscription and no refund was offered.
Please do not go onto this site. It is very dangerous.

They encourage you to look around, and scout the website and even send a message or a smile. Unfortunately, what they don't tell you is that unless the other person pays for a subscription, they can't respond to your message. They also claim that to protect you from "vulnerability" you cannot have any way to contact you off site in your profile, when we all know that it is just an attempt to keep you on the site endlessly searching and paying the subscription. They don't want you to find someone, they want your money.

I noticed 2 fraudulent charges on my credit card and one credit from Catholic Match. No idea what this was. As you know, replacing your debit card is a pain. Next month I had another charge. I decided to contact them. The message says that you won't hear from them for a few day. After a few weeks, screen shot of the bill, Abigail, Sandy and Genevieve said they couldn't find the charge and to contact my bank again. AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!

Many men on this site have pictures dating so far back that you can see the film is old. I have come to the conclusion that they think because a woman is a churchgoer then she will be Ok with a socially awkward unattractive man. They are sorely mistaken. Many of the seemingly good looking successful men are fake profiles. I can not fathom that the owners of this site think the females are dumb enough not to spot a fake profile. The active men are just trying to get a gullible woman because they aren't having success on the other sites like Match.com. They are not the least bit interested in their faith. Also, the owners should delete the ones who have been inactive for a long period because many are in the dead zone. Lastly, many men on this site want to be pursued rather than be the pursuer. This is the same anti-Christian, wuss egoism that exists on the other sites like Match.com. This has been a total waste of my time.

I decided to check this site out an set up a free account. I uploaded a cute profile picture that was a head shot that I have used before, I was a bit apprehensive as I am not a practicing Catholic. I was born into the religion as I am full blooded Italian American and went to parochial school majority of my life. I am a business professional in the legal field. I really resent the Catholic church due to multiple scandals over the years but keep that to myself. I have further affirmation that this was a bad decision to join this site. I did not pay but I usually wait a few days before actually joining. I will meet that special guy but I bet it won't be through this joke of a website.

Ok I met one guy who I talked and texted with a long time. We finally met and on the 3rd date he embarrassed me at Taco Bell by making a scene with anger. It's pretty bad if I cannot take someone to a half star restaurant without them being mean to the employees. Met another guy. We went to Mass together and other activities at the church. Went on a few other dates. Turns out he is a criminal. I found him on a state government website. Even had a domestic violence violation. I met him in 2016. He had last had serious trouble in 2014. I confronted him on it and he said let's move on. I don't think online dating is a viable option.

They have lost touch with reality. They don't even try to attract genuine women. They just don't need them because they are overfilled with good-looking fakes and that's enough for them to fool gullible men. I would say at least 95% of fakes and catfishers. I unsubscribed from CatholicMatch as soon as I found out how many fake profiles they had. But I still wasted about 300 euro.
So if you want to know my opinion about CatholicMatch - it's total and utter drivel if you've ever been on a legit decent dating site. CatholicMatch is a time-waster. Its name is very misleading. They are trying to exploit Christians.
