CatholicMatch

Several deficiencies: the questions of beliefs specifically contraception. To this question, most people say yes, but the core of the matter is not the belief, but the practice. Contraception is widely practiced by Catholics who look for all kinds of excuses for their past acceptance. Contraception is more than pills, it is also all forms of sterilization. The use or not use of contraception in the past life of a person is the main indicator of character. So I recommend that initially focus on asking any candidate about this. Second, by looking at the photos the majority of men are unkempt, probably because hygiene problems very unattractive, and unappealing. I am learning the art of catholic dating: be frank do not date anyone that has ever used contraception, that eliminates the weeds, go after the real flowers. Male or female
Another problem is that one's photos appear to everyone in any state, and so there are people unrealistic liking you even though they live a hundred miles away. All of this does not make this site too different from a secular dating site, if you want to meet the more traditional Catholics a better option is, Ave Maria Singles.

I met my fiancée on Catholic Match, so it was the best $30 I ever spent. My one complaint is that even after I set my account to Inactive, women could still view my profile and send messages, but I couldn't reply, even to say I was no longer looking. To reply I would have had to reactivate the account; instead I had to have the site manager delete my account. Apologies to Lore, who sent a message to which I couldn't reply. I wasn't intentionally ignoring you.

Many fake profiles. No one ever respond. Can't be a weak catholic. Only catholic fanatic will match.

I paid for a full year and I am not able to send or receive any messages at all, I contacted them threw email and they have been giving me the round around even after I send a screen shot of my payment I asked for a refund and I have NOT HEARD FROM THEM AT ALL! Do NOT pay for this site!

I did a 6 month subscription for the first time. Guys I tried to communicate with didn't even respond. At the end of my 6 months, I did not renew. Catholic Match repeatedly tried to get me to renew. I said NO. About a month after my subscription ran out, a guy starts communicating with me. In order to see his messages, I had to renew. I thought maybe this guy is nice, let me see what he had to say. So I renew. The message says he would like to meet for coffee the next week. I reply that would be great figuring who knows, he may be a great guy. Well low and behold I never hear from him again. He is listed as John on his picture but replies Jack? Now Jack is a nickname for John but I'm suspicious.

Why you ask? My thought, Catholic Match set me up. This may be a bogus guy never saw him in my searches before and ran a search after his contacting me, can't find him. I truly believe Catholic Match was the one who contacted me through this guy's picture. The only way I can find him is that he's in my list of guys who previewed me. Oddly most of this guy's profile matches or is so similar to mine, I really am questioning this. I think they tricked me into renewing. Just my opinion.

In the world of online dating, I had my hopes because this was a dating website for catholics that I had hoped would have had similar values as I have. I was tired of other dating websites where the guys are moral-less and expected to be serviced just because they took me out to dinner. Not one person on catholic match whom contacted me was someone I would consider dating. They were all uneducated, lacked proper grammar and spelling and weren't even always local. The ones I did write to didn't even take the time to write back (even if it was to decline). Talk about lack of respect... and yet they all tout having catholic values and being kind caring and blah blah blah BS! I'm not sure how anyone finds a good catholic person, but it certainly is not on this website! Save your money and buy yourself something nice that makes you happy and don't fuel this website! In fact, I wonder if some of the people on there are real. They claim everyone is legit, but I doubt it. I think they have profiles that are bait! So sorry I wasted $75 to join! I would give it zero stars if I could!

Most the reviews on here by guys seem like the reviews of entitled cry babies. Be patient and be prepared to be rejected a lot more than you get dates. That is the truth of the matter. Accept it and you will be okay. If you have nothing to offer a woman (Money does not count if you have a messed up personality) do not expect your dream girl. Yes, you will be judged by your looks. Deal with it. Catholics are still people too and they want someone they are attracted to. I am average looking but I have still met many women from this site. You wont find a Catholic dating site with more women to choose from to message. I have tried them all. Be realistic. This site is not a miracle worker. If you expect a date after only messaging a handful of women, do not even try this site. Expect maybe one date for every 100 women you message unless you are above average good looking. If you cant deal with that, you do not have the stomach for online dating. But do not blame the site. It is YOU, not the site. And it is not a scam. I have met many REAL women from this site. The last one became my girlfriend and possibly may become my wife :)

Catholic Match pertain to be a wholesome, catholic dating website, boosted by their favourable articles (written by their in-house staff no less) and forums (used by the same regular faces who don't actually seem to get any dates). There is something incredibly insidious about this site and it masquerading as a catholic one makes it all the more vile and dangerous.

It took me a while to discern what their scam was - but it is actually in plain sight. There is no differentiation between the premium members (ones who have actually paid a subscription) and members who use it freely (ones who can peruse profiles and 'like' them but can't actually message and read messages). If you're freely using the site, you shouldn't be bothered by the lack of benefits since you're naturally not paying for them. However, as a paid member, there is no way of telling who on this site is a premium member or not and thus, you could spend ages messaging people who can't actually read your messages!

This is where CatholicMatch's scam comes in - they won't allow you to be honest in your profile and tell other users that you can't read their messages. They reel you into their site, knowing that many of their users can't actually message or read messages. You're going to fork out a lot of money for a useless, dishonest site.

It's utterly disgusting that the site claims so much holiness when it restrains honesty.

Don't use it. Trust in God to bring your partner in a more natural way, not through the hands of man and certainly not through the hands of CatholicMatch.

I reviewed the profiles on here on night and placed my own without a photo. I decided if someone actually took the time to read and respond I would join. Out of the blue, a year or more later, someone did, we corresponded and met one evening for dinner. I couldn't place were I had recognized him, but there was something that really overwhelmed me about his face and a few antics. He later accused me of having a crush on a mutual acquaintance whom, I accidently discovered had a double life. This man was the same man I saw in a miliatary bar near my home 20 years previous when he was a Marine. He wanted nothing to do with me, so not sure if he recognized me first. This experience made me regret my whole life, loose faith in my own faith, and put that rosary away. I can't recommend any online dating to anyone, tried others and it is just opening a gateway to people who will hurt you. In this case, my own faith brought this man back into my life and sent me down this dark road, that I am tired of living. If it's true one can expire of a broken heart, I hope it is sooner than later for me, because I'm having one hell of a come to Jesus meeting with St. Micheal.

2x my account was suspended. Their reasoning is that my photo looks too young. I LOOK younger. So what? They consistently messaged me asking for personal information. When I gave it to them they asked for more. I'm not giving my social/DL etc. to these people. I had also heard a man had the same issues. He paid for an account and then they suspended him! I'm a devout Catholic, checks all the boxes. I'm someone they WANT on their site. They are super controlling. There is no privacy. One user was talking to me and said how bad it was and how they monitor the messages so he didn't want to say too much. He said the women he's met are not even practicing and not looking for marriage. Their profiles said otherwise. This is the 2nd time they suspended me. Amazing. The lack of professionalism and controlling your every message is ridiculous. Any message I sent or was sent to me was very very respectful and just getting to know people. There was no reason for all the censorship. At this point I have to assume there are women controlling the site and they suspend any attractive, successful competition. That is no way to run a business. I tried to contact someone of authority to look into this matter but it seems impossible. I only end up with "Genevieve" who has made it very clear she has not intention of reinstating me regardless of all the hoops she asked me to jump including personal information. I would love to see what she looks like. I have an idea.

First everything is fine but then they bother you a lot with promotions, they even call you on the phone if you don't do what they want, they ignore you and there is no activity on your account.

Catholic Match is a "dead" website. The only ones on here are scammers with fake profiles. Stay away!
