Match

Match seems more focused on making money than helping their clients connect. Even with their premium membership, I have a google ads feed on every page and annoying pop ups for micro purchases. Eharmony was super chill and a quality platform.I'd rather be on tinder than pay for match ever again.

I am okay with Match, or any other dating app charging a fee to access advanced features to improve the user experience. What I object to is that the basic paid subscription does not offer any useful features versus an unpaid subscription. Besides selecting gender, age range and search radius, you get nothing else. This renders the app pretty useless since one wastes their time sorting through profiles that are of no interest to the user. Instead, Match wants you to sign up for the premier subscription to get access to helpful search criteria like use interests, education, preferences as far as smoking, drinking, etc. Just a money grab. Better off to use the unpaid subscription or better yet, choose a different dating app.

I used Match before lockdown for a few months and again in 2024. Customer service not only provides no help to customers to solve their problems, but also uses judgmental attitude to blame customers without providing legit reasons due to their "privacy policy". Definitely avoid this website.

I was overcharged 75.49, so far and tried to contact via phone number listed on bank site but only outgoing message *******161. Followed prompts to leave email but when hit submit it dumped me completely from site. Think this site only wants money with absolutely no support for customers. Haven't even had time to determine if profiles are legitimate as I too was told the match I tried to contact was removed. Something really wrong here and the total lack of support is BIG RED FLAG. I have never left a bad review on any site giving the company a chance to help but they don't offer any real help just the circle runaround. You have been warned.

Honestly I don't bother leaving bad reviews of a service unless it is completely and utterly useless. This is unfortunately one of those times.

A little about me. I am an attractive 31 year old male who holds a good job. Never married and has no children. During my time with match I received one or less views per day. In 2 months time I have had one member contact me first. One. A far cry from someone I would ever date. I have messaged a few dozen girls whereas most do not reply. The few that did reply did so with brief responses, never to be heard from again. Also you will encounter a lot of girls "winking" or adding you as a favorite etc, only to find their profiles deleted a few days later (bot, spam, fake). Keep this in mind if you're on a free account and are thinking of upgrading.

Overall I rate this site a complete waste of time and money.

I've tried Match.com a few times over the years with varying degrees of success. It is however getting worse.
At a guess I would say at least 50% of the profiles are fakes, and end up being deleted when subscribers complain to Match. Of the remainder there will be many who show as your matches but haven't been online for months. I once idly tried the "shuffle" feature; every single "match" suddenly viewed my profile and added me as a favourite, suspicious much? I think so and demanded my subscription fee back. Got it too that time. Why I tried again I do not know. Over 8000 views, a few dozen emails, maybe 1:20 will respond if you email first, remember you can only reply if you have a paid sub. No dates. Of those who email me, well as above at least half are clearly fakes, some are better fakes, another 25/30% are too young or too old or just appear plain odd. Remainder have nothing to say or look thoroughly miserable, probably the thought of having wasted money on Match.com

I paid for 6 months, after a few weeks they turned of my likes/matches to get me to pay more than the original membership. Hung up on numerous times by their out of country call center. A sham an rip off. Trash!

I've used it throughout the past 15 yrs and it has become the most non productive dating site over the choices out there. Unless you pay premium, you can not send or see messages. So, the no premium is a scam. Most of my matches were all out of state.And don't think that just because you're paying, you'll get better choices. I came across just as many fake profiles on match than on others. In addition to the expensive fees, they are gender bias. My male friend gets discounts of 10$/ month and I'm pretty sure it's because there are a lot less men then woman where i live. When I called they would only give me 33$/month. Lastly, I cancelled and it never went into their system so i was charged another 3 months and they refused to refund me, even after i have been a paying customer for so many years. Do not waste your money.

This site is junk. It was recommended to me by friend and since October 2014 I am proud member of Match. Unfortunately for more than 6 months only two real dates appeared. More than hundreds emails were sent and most of them looks like went to the empty space. I know I am $#*! ugly but so bad luck... c'mon. Interesting thing happens a girl liked my picture and when I wrote her she deleted her profile. You will notice also that most of the profiles have couple of sentences and they look pretty the same.

UPDATE: Recently "Match"violated their contract by omitting some of the info they initially agreed to provide. This was done without consulting members. The other complaints mentioned below still apply
The only thing one can count on with this site is getting a list with pics of single people that fit your age requirements. If you are a man, it also seems likely that you will contacted by a very young East European woman attempting a scam. Fortunately they are not very clever. So just be realistic. Using the site is difficult as there are few directions. Also, at times they will ignore all of your preferences including your decision to remove a match from your list of possibilities. In the past, when I used Eharmony I had none of the problems I've experienced here.

Match.com is is trying to rip me off. Just like many people are saying on this and many different sites, even when you deactivate your account, Match will still charge your card. The customer service staff clearly does not give a damn about logic or obvious mistakes. "Sorry, nothing we can do." This is the only thing they will say.

I do have to say that despite the hassle of using the site for dating, I did find some nice women. But, navigating the site and working with "customer service" staff is a nightmare! Never again!

I get loads of messages from beautiful women who turn out to be from other countries trying to scam money out of you. Women get much the same from Nigerians etc.
Not one woman I met looked like their profile, many lie about there age and that they have kids. Since the guy who raped those women he found on match.com, any dispute is dealt with by siding with the woman and we have all come across weird, neurotic women who can take insult where non is given (like being with my ex again).
Match did get warned for their unethical practices when it came to cancelling. I have had money taken out of my account which should not have been and I am one of thousands.
Every review site gives them appalling reviews so why do we continue to go on it. STAY AWAY!
