My daughter suggested I get rid of my divorce blues by trying an internet dating website. I tried OurTime for a month and will now provide my feedback. The next one im trying will be PrimeTimeLove.com.
OurTime is very popular, I chose it after seeing a TV advertisement and felt it would be a good choice. It certainly has lots of matches for me to correspond with through on-site emails. Its a good system and even works on my ipad that my daughter gave me for Christmas. I am finding some trouble getting through to customer services when I have questions and thats one of the main reasons ive decided to try a different site next, rather than staying with ourtime.
Please be very careful using this online site... beware of fraud profile photos and statements. I am very surprised that ourtime have no control or make it safer for their users I feel sorry for the poor persons wh do not realise that their whole life of personal photos is being used and being displayed out there with strangers!... how horrifying and Dangerous! What is Ourtime doing about it?
I do know someone this site worked for. My experience was that nobody really wants to answer any simple questions, like "what IS it you like about my profile" [or photo]. BEWARE some appear to be stock photos, and will attempt to follow you to FB. Very scary. I left. I'd rather be alone.
The site is inconsistent. Sometimes I could assess it, other times it is down for days at a time. I have written, emailed and called multiple times with no resolution. This time they gave me 7 free days but since I can't get in, I don't know what good that is There are way better dating sites
OurTime sent a letter to everyone I had contacted telling them my account was fraudulent. They never notified me nor did they verify before sending it out. If a friend hadn't told me I'd never have known why no one was returning my phone calls. They have no remorse and are blaming bots. I can't recommend this site if you value your reputation
It is ridiculous that I pay for a membership in which I am able to send messages. BUT, I have to pay extra if I want to read the response. What a money grubbing scam. There is no option to limit your matches to your local area. Sure they send photos, almost daily, of folks in faraway states. Hardly practical for dating now is it. There is no response to emails either, no customer service. Why should they, they have my money.
I paid for this site today for a month membership for close to 40.00 as I had 99 messages in my in box however those messages were computer generated no thought process in regards to someone actually putting forth the effort to send me an E mail message. The men on the site are not what I was looking for at all. I called customer service and got a full refund. I will take my money and join E Harmony instead.
Old profiles, closed profiles make up the majority of what I found on ourtime. Also, the search engine did not allow me to search in specific states. All I could do was narrow and expand it by distance. 50,100,500, etc. For example, if you live in Maryland but are planning to relocate to Florida and want to just look at profiles located in Florida, forget it. You must weed through hundreds of profiles all over the country. Like the title states, a waste of time and money.
I paid for premium & lost all ability to view likes and messages during an update. And, technical support isn't fixing the problem. I'm going on day 5 and no one can help. And, what's worse, I I get emails saying that I have messages. Can't access anything. Cruel!
I wanted to try it a week based on Forbes review. What does Forbes know? Apparently nothing. 1. Oddly, over 90 percent of the men have the same little schnauzer beard, and perhaps a ball cap to complete the 'look'. For the privilege of finding your schnauzer, you can expect a clunky site with no features even with your paid membership unless you pay a la carte per useful feature - nickeled and dimed.
Perhaps you are saying to yourself "While funny, are ad hominem attacks on a man's looks necessary, Little Miss''?! Aye! Those looks come with similar personality attributes- Just like dog breeds so, you've been warned! Also, this site attracts it's fair share of another breed- Mr. Needy. I work, and so should not be kicked to the curb by some male drama queens who are already suspicious as to why I am not answering them immediately, if not sooner!
Enough about the uncouth clientele. The site is lame. You can't post videos, or interact, yet you're not allowed to direct them to any video you made outside. I don't need Hinge or anything super trendy or exhausting to use, forever promoting tic tok like escapades- but really?
Site hasn't worked right for months. Contacted them, said they'd fix it but never did. Wanted people within 50 miles & ages 75-85 and they were all over the US and all ages. Will never sign up again the Our Time
This site not only tries to force you into buying extras, but manipulates your profile. Everyone be careful of this site please. Cut my time in half for what i paid, and said I flirted with people I never even knew about. This site is a scam, and steals your money. I tried to reactivate, after they put someone else picture on my profile and changed all my comments! Then said there was a problem reactivating! Beware---beware---beware! Scam scam scam
I paid for this service and half the time it doesn't work. There are MANY scammers and they need ore fields to narrow a search. Most they recommend are nothing like what I am looking for. Many live very far away. It is a diversion and not a good dating site.
I have tried this site a couple of times and it is just not worth it. I am sure there are some quality older men out there, but they sure in the heck aren't on Our Time. I have sent out dozens of messages, and heard back from ONE MAN. ONE! And he is not someone I would be interested in. Very discouraging. I am paid up through April but will not be renewing. Save your money and avoid the frustration! You would have better luck meeting a man at the grocery or hardware store.
They charged my CC without my consent. I cancelled the automatic renewal weeks In advance yet they charged me for another month. Total rip off. Besides that the site is nothing more than a dead zone full of old dead profiles.
Waste of your time and money. You'll get very little responses from other members on this site and half the time none of them will even include a photo or a completed profile. To respond back to anyone (not even knowing if they are real people or not) you'll have to get a paid account and then their policy is to automatically renew it. There is no refund policy and very little customer service so be careful or you'll have another 6 months or whatever your term of almost no response from questionable members.
If you pay for Our Time, you are going lose.
It is not worth the money, the messages I have received are awful and they take way too long to load. But the worst thing is, Our Time hides the fact that they are going to automatically charge you for renewal fees. You end up paying a whole lot more than you think.
I spent $60 (not intentionally) and did not meet a single person.
This site brings out the worst possible people.
I had planned on not renewing, but despite the fact that I received a LOT of mail from Our Time, I never had any hint at all that they were going to continue charging my credit card.
Save yourself a lot of money. There are FREE apps for your phone that work 1000 times better.
I signed up for Our Time for a six month subscription and thought it would work for my age - over 50, There was very few profiles in my area that were under 60 years old. The navigation and search features were worse than some of the free dating sites that I have tried. I was completely and totally frustrated with the whole site.
I've been waiting several days to get one simple photo approved. I also cannot access my account settings. Says it's not available. I paid for a six month subscription to a dating site I cannot use! I've emailed customer service several times with no response nor can I get a person on the phone. Not even somebody in India picks up a call for this outfit. I feel like I've been ripped off. Do NOT buy a subscription with these people. Take your money to a different dating site.
The app itself was a little hard to use. However, I met my soulmate and we just passed our 1 year anniversary. We are now engaged and look forward to spending the rest of our lives together. Without the Ourtime dating site our paths would never had crossed.
Answer: Not sure what you mean by the shaded areas. But never mind, I agree with Alex H, don't get involved with them, they are just after your money. The reply rate is extremely low and the site is full of fake profiles. You will just lose your time with it ( like I did and I regret it). It's important to find a legit site, the site that should suit you best and I found mine: https://j4l.com/402007 It's 100% legit and valid and they don't resort to bots and fakes. I met my girlfriend through them so I know it's a working site!
Answer: They are charging me and I cannot get on this site, I want a refund as I have not been able to use this site,
