Bull$#*! Dating Site
March 19, 2022

Avoid at all costs. If you think this is an 'elite' site, think again. It's infested with fake profiles, run by an algorithm that will pair you up with 'potential partners' thousands of miles away. You may even receive a few from the wrong gender! Why? Because Elite Singles is a money mill. The owners(whoever they are) don't give a $#*! about finding you a partner - once you've paid, you're on your own. Members can join for free if they restrict themselves to a 'smile', so you will be inundated with 'smiles', and left to ponder whether to call the cell number scrawled under their photos. It's tawdry, it's sleazy, and it's a rip-off.

Horror and obscene
October 11, 2021

The worst that ive ever got to experience. From people quality, unfriendliness of the app, unfiltered offensive profiles, blank profiles, profiles totally opposite of what you ask or hope for. Question is, everyone's complaining about the same things, all true, but how can we solve the issue, at least if we lost the money others won't. Could they be banned? It was the only transaction my CC asked me to confirm this purchase… go figure. Couple of weeks into it n already anxious how could i cancel successfully n erase the profile…who owns this company n what makes their practice legal?

Few local members
July 7, 2020

Elite has very few local members so it sends me old and remote matches. Elite's services are of the lowest quality. The App is poorly designed. I cannot delete those unwanted faces on my message list. Dating and searching on this website is not pleasure but suffering. People are not members without photos, but Elite will send them to you. If you contact them then they might want to read your invitation, and pay too high membership fee. In fact the website doesn't have enough members to run as a dating site.

Total crap! Did not even send 1 person that fit in to my criteria! All super old, lived far, zero quality. I'd rather get the fake vaccine then date one person they sent. I am thinking of telling my credit card company to not pay them and/or fight the charges. If you ask for a certain ethnicity, religion or whatever and they just send you the opposite its a scam in my book. 100% $#*!

Many dating sites that I have used have a dedicated customer service number but, EliteSingles does not. I'm running into issues with the "explore" function but, have had not found any helpful answers provided by other members. If your spending good money to use there website then they need to apply some of that money to a dedicated telephone customer service department.

Terrible match algorithm
September 6, 2020

They claim to have tens of thousands of new members a week. I keep seeing the same matches every day for the past month since I joined. I wrote to several women but they were all over the USA. I'm in FL. I wish that I did not join. I'm thinking of waiting until covid-19 is solved and making a personal resume. I'll hand them to women on the beach in Hollywood, FL and I expect better results.

Horrible
April 24, 2020

This site is the worst site I've been on, I wish I could give it zero stars, this one star is way to good for them. Since you can't view before you purchase your stuck with it. I set preferences and it gave me only God knows what. There were no quality men, they all looked 75 years or older, nothing elite about them. They looked like a bunch of old drunks. There are no black men on the site. I tried to contact CS and it was like a maze, I was never able to locate any contact information on the site. They charged me over $100 and there's not one descent looking man on the entire site. Do not subscribe to them. I think it's a scam. Sadly, I googled dating sites and they had this scam site listed in the best 5 sites; a bigger Joke. I'm reporting them to the better business bureau. Beware!

Elite Singles *WATCH OUT*
September 13, 2022

-I signed up for 1 month and got into a 1-year membership.
-I was only billed 30 days after the purchase.
Making it impossible to refund the large sum taken from my account (According to "Katie" from support).
Predatory pricing.
-I am experienced with online purchases, but this caught me off guard.

*Will happily remove this message, if my request for a partial refund is granted, or if I have missed an important detail somehow*

This site is dreadful. Firstly it completely ignores your preferences so rarely is a suggestion anything like what you're looking for. Secondly most suggestions are not professional or elite people. There are bus drivers, lorry drivers, construction workers etc. The 'best' profile photos of most of the men suggested are dreadful. I share about 10 pictures a day with my friends for a good laugh. Many of these men have fake profiles. Some must be doing this for a complete laugh judging by their photos. I mean who puts a photo of themselves with a huge bogey in their nose? And who
This site is expensive and fake.also I asked for Caucasian but get African and Asian suggestions all the time. Ladies. Don't bother looking for an elite man on here you won't find any!

Elite singles are not scammers that is why I am correcting my review here, yet they are not clear that they only serve US clients, it is not an international service, they do not have a mobile application. You meet non matching profiles.
The finance are very reluctant to reply so for a quick response I finally reached this email *******@elitesingles.com
My advise don't waste your money over paid dating sites, there are lots of free apps to check.

Worse than a scam!
April 17, 2022

After reading all these "professional" reviewers give this dating site 4.9/5, perhaps they should have actually tried it. After 4 months on the site, the only conversations I've had are with more scammers. Most of my matches only have a High School education, or don't even bother to complete the profile. Those I do converse with, quickly get pulled off the site for being fraudulent accounts. Lately I get people contacting me that want me to contact, not them, but other people off-site! This was the most money I have ever spent on a dating site, and I will never again! PLEASE don't purchase a membership. I met far better people on Zoosk, and Plenty of Fish for free.

In NO WAY Elite!
February 1, 2020

I joined this site for 3 months (paid at once) and the clientele are absolutely NOT elite. There is clearly no screening or matching going on. I don't think it even recognizes your preference settings. I am looking for a more educated, higher earning partner who is my equal. What a joke. Don't waste your money!

Full of scammers
March 27, 2022

When I set my profile up they would not allow one picture, I don't know why. But I get dozens of likes with pictures of women and their phone number written over it so they don't vet them properly. Worst dating site I have ever been on unworthy of the name, Elite. Join at your peril!

Does not live up to its advertised promises. The majority of men on here do not post a photo (as you will see in the photo below). Also they do not write more than a few words about themselves. So it is impossible to figure out if they might be a fit. EliteSingles advertises that 80% of people on here have a college or university education. Not true in my experience. Most men had high school diploma or less. Also, even though I requested matches that live in my area they keep matching me with men who live across the county much farther away. I've requested a refund.

Waste of money
October 3, 2021

8 out of 10 contacts that contacted me I was informed shortly after that they are scammers with fake profiles. It's the worse dating site I've joined especially after paying for it. The app doesn't work well either. They need to do proper verification before allow profiles to be seem.

Awful
January 26, 2022

Insists that they will match you with """elite""" / highly educated individuals but almost every 'match' is high school diploma or girls that are barely 18, no matter how many times you set your preference to age appropriate matches and higher education settings. Every profile is old, a match that ignores your preferences, or fake. They make you pay upfront to use basic features before you can realize it's a bad deal. Stick with more well-known sites, or location based dating apps.

Joined this website was a half year ago, was not going to renew the membership after the due date but they renewed it without my consent, even-thought with the cancellation message I got from them as a proof, but they wont return the money back to me no matter what! Leaving my comments here just let the others to aware of it, or don't even use it as there is very litter chance you will meet the right person from this site.

"Elite Scams"?
March 24, 2022

RUN! The site is clunky, and I receive 1 or 2 scam messages on a DAILY basis (see example below). People I message never respond (OK, may not be a "looker"...), and the few who "like me" live thousands of miles away and haven't read my profile. There are a lot of men on this site with high school diplomas, and not the educational minimum promised. This site is a waste of time, but more than that, it leaves me with an uneasy feeling that I have been duped and that my identity could potentially be compromised.

-almost no local matches. In live in Detroit, and after six months only a handful within 3 hours

-constant spam makes it impossible to tell if someone is real or not

-after asking to cancel, they continue to charge me and will not stop. Had to cancel my card to get rid of these people.

Avoid at all costs
