EliteSingles

I get periodic excited emails that someone smiled at me then can't find that person. It's just a mishmash of photos with very little connection. Extremely disappointed!

The worse dating site. Every profile that contacts me is fake. I have hard time believing scammers are paying for membership. Do not join this site it's a waste of money

Fake accounts are a problem many places but this site is choking with them. The site does take down some accounts, sure. Obvious ones such as those with email addresses in the user name, and those that probably many people complain about after interacting with certainly 'dating actors' likely in some sweatshop unable to answer even slightly complex questions about themselves, where they live, and so on.
However, there are many more profiles which are either auto-generated or written by non-native English speakers that use odd language/sentence structure/words to answer their questionnaires. There's a pattern to them. For these accounts, usually only with one photo (but not always), I suspect the could be created by the company itself to give the impression of a large user base. These profiles don't seem to ever be taken down.
The problem besides risk of fraud from these actors is the complete waste of time and difficulty finding an actual human who might be your match.
This site either needs much better user screening before creating an account, or the company to simply be honest and stop creating/endorsing these passive 'fake accounts' to pump up their user numbers.

As it is - DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

This site is at best, one of the worst sites my friends and i have cime across, basically the whole health sector is going to eharmony instead, dont waste your money here

Use refutable well known websites. This site just take your money and gives you "0" service! Most of profiles are fake scammers! And the 1% that is not won't match your criteria.

To reiterate what many other people have said, spam accounts and spam messages are out of control. I've used other dating sites before, and I would run into a couple of spam accounts every now and then, but at EliteSingles I could expect at least five "smiles" per day from fake accounts. Clearly the operators of this site are unable or unwilling to deal with this problem. In about two weeks of usage (the time until I got fed up and deleted the account), I exchanged messages with only two accounts that I suspect to be real.

The matching criteria is broken. It is not possible to filter by age, geography, education level, desire to have kids, or anything else. They ask if these are important I think just to make you feel like you are sorting somehow. The site markets itself as "elite", which means a disproportionate number of people with advanced degrees, but I see no evidence that this is the case.

There are lots of bugs. The biggest problem I found is that the Tindr-like "Have you met?" feature sometimes just doesn't work at all.

They make you go through the long quiz, but then you have to pay to see matches or the first set of incoming messages. This is highly deceptive.

I wish there was some way I could take legal action, as the service is so poor as to raise suspicion of it being a scam, but I don't know how to do this. In the meantime, I am going to go out to some singles events in my city. I won't meet any women who are interested in me this way either, but at least it will be fun and probably less expensive.

Never sign in to use it!

95%profiles are fake there!
You will get matches from far away in spite of your distance preference!

Waste of money!

All bull$#*!!

Horrible experience!

Wasted 120$

This site was recommended to me by a friend. Tried it for two days and got mostly very unsuitable matches (too many were way outside my designated geographical area, also many were not professionals or highly educated by any measure). I cancelled my premium membership contract within the three days allowed under law and am currently awaiting reply on my request for refund (they charge the full, several-month contract up front, FYI). The company does not make it easy to find the required links to delete your account, request contract cancellation, and request a refund (three separate steps!). And get this: when you get to the third step, the form asks for a code that is in your profile, which you cannot access because you have cancelled it! It took me several tries to delete my profile, which is worrying. There is no human to talk to for help, as far as I could tell.

I cancelled largely because I did not feel safe on the site. I was besieged by "X might be interested" and "your profile is popular" emails, which began to feel oppressive. One man was obviously married (that's pretty common on dating websites, but this is supposed to be a better-vetted site than most). Furthermore, anyone joining this site can claim to be anything, for all the company cares. None of the information provided is verified. And here is something that completely turned me off. I was looking for men in one of the senior age brackets (I believe it was 58-70). Many of those men answered the "children?" question with "someday maybe" Yuck. There should be a way to filter those guys out.

Avoid this service!

I'm an educated and successful young woman who recently thought using a dating service would be helpful.

I signed up for EliteSingles, a dating resource that looked promising. Not like those other hook up apps that I didn't want because I was looking for a real relationship.

EliteSingles had me sign up and answer a very detailed personality quiz that took quite a bit of time to complete. I instantly started receiving matches and it said I was receiving messages but in order to see the messages I had to sign up and pay for the service.

I signed up, and chose to try it out for 39.95 per month, cancel at any time.

A few days later I check my credit card balance and there's a charge for $239.40.

No where did it say I would be charged for an entire year at once during sign up!

EliteSingles was absolutely useless. I matched me with people that were on the other side of the country and at a snails pace so you're charged before you realize it's so BAD.

Save yourself and DO NOT USE EliteSingles, they're misleading fraudsters that only want quick cash for their absolutely terrible dating site.

What a disappointment... After coming from sites like Zoosk, Tinder and Bumble, I decided to join what was supposed to be a ‘proper' dating site. Well... the matches they send are WHOLEY inappropriate as they match you with people hundreds of miles away! Nobody messages and it is the most boring site I have ever joined. And I'm only two weeks into a minimum membership of 3 mths.
Will go back to the other sites because at least there is some active members and active activity on them! Desperate for my money back! DONT WASTE YOUR TOME AND MONEY!

I just joined and then less than 24 hours I've had two scammers contact me I'm smart enough to know when a guy tells me that he basically lives in an area that I'm pretty familiar with and then all of a sudden says that he works from home he's an engineer and he grew up in Serbia and at other places and won't talk to me on the phone he's a scammer and then I got an email from another scammer the same old one I've seen years before that he's just looking for his friend I'm done I want my freaking money back

I signed up with Elite thinking it was going to be a great service exclusive to paid members for starters. Well, that was a scam to begin with, and the matches are not very good. I chose a certain ethnicity and have been matched with about every type.

MATCHED WITH MY EX-WIFE FROM A DIFFERENT SERVICE!

I'm on Elite, she signed up for Silver Singles. From what I can tell there are other sites that use the same subscribers that get mixed into a large database for various sites.

Imagine if I we were not divorced and both happened to sign up, and then be matched this way! Lawsuit city...

I have tried a few dating app sites and this one was by far the worst value for the money spent. The others I tried had much better quality men for FREE compared to this one which falsely claimed many things which did not prove to be the reality. On top of that, I thought I was signing up for a 6 month membership for which I paid to try only to have it RENEW automatically for another 6 months and their customer service was so poor and frustrating when I replied that I wanted to cancel it immediately! Totally a waste of money PLUS fraud if you ask me! VERY unhappy and unimpressed customer so STAY AWAY from this site.
