Scam
February 4, 2022

All I get is a bunch of scams coming to my mail. Girls to say they are 56 years old and a picture looks like they're 18. You can tell it's a scam because their name has Gmail in there or text me at. I get at least 10 a day. Do not sign up for this dating app it's a total scam.

Do not waste your money!
February 10, 2020

I'm not one to write reviews but this time I had to because I'm so upset I fell for a dating site like Elite which is nothing "Elite" as other reviewers have mentioned. None of my matches were anything I wanted. In fact, they were the complete opposite of what I wanted! And most of them were over 55 years old when I specifically mentioned age is important to me. Please don't waste your time or money!

I've been on this dating site almost a year on and off. You can send and receive smiles and see matches from men. I often sent messages but never received replies. I finally realized that most of these men don't bother with the premium membership, so you never hear back from them because they don't see your messages? Its truly a waste of money. Most never read my messages because they can't! I literally had 2 men write messages over a year of membership but I probably sent about 30 messages...

Very pricey. Over $200 for the least expensive option. Matches are not matches and are in direct conflict of what I have as my preferences. Background, age and education don't match at all with most coming from out of State. My fault for being fooled by their marketing. A shame and disappointment to those legitimately searching for a partner.

In setting up my account with EliteSingles, I made sure to set it up so that it would not auto renew. A few months later, I cancelled the subscription and again checked to make sure the account would not auto renew. Today an automatic payment was taken from my account which I am viewing as theft. This is exactly why I do not do online dating anymore. Match.com did the same thing with one difference I could at least call them and speak to someone. All EliteSingles has is a form you fill out via email. I want to speak to someone and get my money back now!

No "elite singles"
May 1, 2021

Very poor quality app. Very difficult to navigate and not user friendly, Very few local matches. There are no "elite singles." In this site. Big chance to meet scammers. The report button is not functioning, and frequently gives an "error" message. Overall not good and not recommended.

My experience was a complete waste of time, money, and I would never recommend anyone to use Elite Singles. MANY of my matches had no photos, and were inappropriately matched... men of very short stature, unattractive, or their grammar was clearly uneducated. I'm annoyed.

Very expensive scam
December 8, 2023

Save your money and stay away from EliteSingles. This app has the same sketchy users as any FREE dating app but charges for anything and everything. All non-refundable despite what they initially promise. They don't have any options to request a refund and by the time you figure you had to email them, they say too late. No refunds.

I had brief contact with two or three people, but they disappeared. No proof they were actually who they claimed to be. Worst thing about this site is the weird censorship. The site has some kind of strange rule set that deletes or rejects words and phrases here and there. Makes me think the site is run by some government intelligence agency.

They have lousy matching algorithm. All my matches were located in distant places and most of them had no pics. Elitesingles lure you into purchasing a yearly membership, just don't do it! They are all fake, they use fake photos, stolen photos, photos from other dating sites, etc - just about anything to fool you and to make you interested. You will find out how fake it is only after you have paid for membership.
My matches on Elitesingles were ridiculously inappropriate, they totally ignored my search criteria. Lots of profiles were outdated ( they never write you back), and I can see why - they make it confusing to cancel, so people choose not to get involved in this challenge and they don't delete their profiles.

Utterly Terrible
September 10, 2020

This is so bad in many ways, I don't even know where to start. First off, I am not sure how they match people, but none of my "matches" have been been in accordance with my preferences, from age, to gender, to distance, etc. What is the point of asking for your preferences if your suggestions are going to be entirely random? Second, the number of my "matches" has been very small (interesting for a site that clams that they have millions of users). To be specific, I've been on this site for 3 months and have received a total of 12 matches - what a joke! Third, my profile constantly shows that its "in review". After 3 months? They claim that it takes 24 hours to review. And then to top it off, there is no customer service to contact about this or any other issues. I've never posted a bad review about anything in my life, but I just could not keep quiet about this scam. I am honestly contemplating if I should contact a better business bureau.

There's nothing elite about this site. Never mind answering all the questions about your preferences because The "matches" I was matched with did not fit my criteria at all! Not to mention that they were all unattractive. Customer service is horrible too! They will deny everything and you will never get your refund after paying a high price for a membership. Wish I had read the reviews prior to signing up... please, don't fall for this crap like I did.

Elite and its sister company Silver Singles are terrible dating services. They totally disregard your screening criteria and send inappropriate matches. But worse, their security software is non-existent. I not only receive fraudulent messages, my account has been hacked so that someone is sending fraudulent messages to my matches. This ruins my credibility and image.

TERRIBLE
December 21, 2021

None of the potential men are anywhere near what was in my profile. Men from out of town or state.
Customer service was horrible. No refunds given. I was dissatisfied from day 1. Don't waste your money.

I have barely been on the site because the matches are not even close to my parameters. Have been contacted by a con man on my second contact. No service. They just take your money and send people's pictures around - if it really is there picture. Waste of time and money.

Worst dating site!
March 14, 2021

Tech issues galore! No phone number to contact! Chat message sends you to a site to pay $1 to address your issue... perspective contacts are rarely within parameters... get messages from people from places I've never heard of and I stated in profile less than 50 miles. Messages supposedly sent... not there or get message they are not a member anymore.

Fake profiles
March 16, 2020

I joined up paid with my Visa it didn't show up until four days later on my laptop and by then it's your past the 3-day cancellation. Cancellation I just found many fake profiles that were not available once you clicked on them.

Why? Just masterbate
October 22, 2023

They send you emails constantly of potential people that want to meet you pay and nothing happens literally. Then they offer premium or platinum products that will give you hope. Just do what you are doing at home like Covid leave this alone….

Don't join elite singles. Most of the profiles on there are not active, and most don't have a photo. I know because they started matching my profile with people before I subscribed and I had no idea I was even receiving matches. After I subscribed, I received maybe 2 email responses in 2 weeks, as compared with about 15-20 email messages in the first few days on Zoosk. I'm also not convinced of the science behind their "matching" system, since they matched me with men on both sides of the spectrum in all 4 of their personality categories...

Worst dating app
February 16, 2020

Over half of the "matches" have no photos. Two years now I've been doing online dating. Out of five or so sites/apps, this is by far the worst. And the most expensive. Save your money. Worst dating app out there in my experience. A true rip off
