OurTime

There are SO many things wrong with OurTime
- It will not "Remember me" for login.
- There is constant nagging to renew or "upgrade," i. E., pay more for features of questionable value. You see these annoying notices practically every time you click your mouse.
- It's very hard to narrow searches to distances near you. Impossible I think for "matches" that OurTime picks out for you.
- Yot can specify to see only profiles with a photo, but you still see profiles without photos.
- You get an email saying you have a message. You click See Message. Instead of taking you to the message it nags you... to reactivate or upgrade. (I turned off auto-renew, planning to quit when paid subscription is done.)
- OurTime will send you an email telling you you have a message, but really it's a "Flirt" (Flirts are pretty meaningless, like "Hi.)
- The interface for Messages is totally confusing.

If you are thinking about OurTime, you should know what a rotten dating site it is. As soon as my subscription is up, I am done with OurTime. What an aggravating waste of money.

First you pay for every little thing. Next if you do talk to some1 you will get a email from ourtime where they have blocked em cause they scammers. Do not spend your money on this site

I WAS CHANGED TO SENIOR PEOPLE.COM FROM OURTIME WHEN I RENEWED THIS YEAR... I AM A FEMALE LOOKING FOR A MALE... SO WHY AM I GETTING PICTURES OF FEMALES?
ITS A WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY! THE TIME IT TAKES TO CLEAR OUT THE LADY BIO'S I HAVE NO INTEREST IN... THEN THE FEW WHO DO, I'M OFFENDED!
GET THIS FIXED! IT'S SAD WHEN I NEED YOUR NUMBER ON SPEED DIAL... KATYRNV1391

Although I mention OURTIME, it applies to any dating site. After sending thoughtful, well written messages to ladies, more often than not, a male will be ignored. Yes, there probably are a small percentage of fellows, tall & seemingly with status, who may receive responses. What I do not understand is this: I see the same ladies with their profiles month after month on a couple of sites. Some appear quite nice looking or at least decent looking. Are they probably ignoring other males, as they ignored me, & truly feel that it is just a question of time before the ideal gentleman reaches out to them? Wouldn't they understand that they are bypassing plenty of good men, rejecting almost all, but not finding what they fantasize about? They seem intelligent but Einstein had a famous saying about expecting a different result using the same methods over & over (month after month). As the months roll on, doesn't it become apparent to these elitist ladies that their quest, is for the most part, a fantasy? What do they really want?
Some have titles, "Looking for Mr. Perfect, or Looking for Mr. Right." What does that really mean to these ladies on the same site month after month? Are they fooling themselves? They are frustrating me, but not fooling me.

I have tried Match, POF, Zoosk, Fitness Singles. They each have nice features. But none has annoyed me to the extent that Ourtime has. The more minor thing is that when you use the search feature and scroll down to read the profile an annoying box, prompting you to Like or Flirt hovers down and blocks your ability to read the profile. Everywhere you scroll this box follows you and blocks your view. So annoying and user UNfriendly! The other issue i have i one thats truly unethical of this site. I happened to notice 8 likes and flirts sent from my mailbox that I did not send. How can they possibly get away with that?! I sent their "Help" a note asking for that to stop and expressed my displeasure with this cheap dishonest way to generate traffic on their site. To add insult to injury, I received an automated response back saying that if i was upset about their auto renewal i could take steps to disable that. It said that if this had nothing to do with my issue then just reply and Then i would get a personalized response. Oh so you have to write to them twice to get a real response? So i did reply and guess what came back. The same exact automated response. What a sorry excuse for customer service and what an unethical and annoying site this is. So glad i only bought one month.

Ourtime is NOT a good site. Horrible customer service and lot's of scammers. It's very expensive and has the Worst website to communicate on. I do NOT recommend this dateing site.

When you ask them to remove your credit card info, and remove your automatic renew status. They do, AND YET THEY STILL TAKE YOUR MONEY, THIS IS FRAUD. The site has 80% fake profiles, you get pinged all hours of the day and night with a code that you supposidly asked for to sign on, and you did not... NIGHTMERE ALTOGETHER. They only way to stop them once you give your credit card is to COMPLETELY CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK AND GET A NEW ONE!

So…I have a question for anyone who has been on this site. Do you see this same things I am? SO many of the profiles have the same written content. How do they see what someone else has written? I can't view what other women are looking for (since I am not looking for other women!) Also, could just be me, but so many conversations get going over a period of time, interest seems to heighten, then they go silent.? This isn't just one person…this is many…and after they proclaim I am "one in a million".? Is this site just pushing interest and pretending to be actually subscribers? Or are these scammers? Either way, it doesn't inspire confidence. Lastly, they say they are trying to protect me from the imposters…but so many profiles are clearly not reviewed. What's odd about that is, they didn't allow a photo upload on my profile with me and my granddaughter citing it was outside their "photo acceptance protocol". Seriously? Have you SEEN some of the photos people are allowed to post? Bare chested and in bed? While me and my granddaughter at the mall is not acceptable? I wonder…who is at the wheel here…and who is actually behind some of the profile posted…? Not so sure.

I am a single woman who joined this website in hopes to find a man friend that might develop into a relationship. YUH... RIGHT! All I found was online predators. I met a men and even casually dated him for about 6 weeks. He was still on there while dating me and turned out to be a serial dater, even when he 'claimed' on his profile that he was not! He also 'claimed' he was a 'widower' which also turned out to be a LIE! He claimed he was in love with me, and I was 'the one' and we could both 'stop looking'... all along he was serial dating!
Countless email exchanges with males that were ONLY after a 'hook up'. Once they found out I was not into 'hooking up', they dropped off emailing. One was from the same town as me, so we emailed back and forth a bit and turns out, he plans on moving overseas... so why is he on a dating website claiming to want a 'serious relationship'!
Also, my 'matches' showed profiles of men that had not logged in for months!
AVOID this hook up site if you are genuinely looking for a potential relationship.
P.S. I would rate it a 0 if there was a 0 option.

I have done online dating for a long time, on and off. I have never previously encountered such verbally abusive men as what I have experienced at this site. Perhaps this corresponds with the general abusive behavior going on in the US right now with the political situation, I can't be sure. But whatever the reason, it does not make me inclined to ever use this site again.

Besides that disconcerting problem, there are also some pretty user unfriendly aspects of the site. First, if you have your account set to not automatically resubscribe, you will get an annoying popup with every single email message you open. Second, there are tons of people with no photo and no profile. Your mailbox can be full of messages from such people. You will get a message with each photo they "like", meaning many email messages to wade through with no content from a nonexistent person. The site does not allow you to set it up to globally block messages from people without photos or profiles. Third, navigation and deleting of messages are not user friendly and cause unnecessary work for the user.

All in all, a poorly designed web interface, annoying popups, and mean angry people are what you can expect from this experience, should you pay for a subscription.

But you can't see them without signing up. And when you DO sign up, you discover that about 147 of those "messages" are auto genearated and sent when someone looks at your profile. You can't tell if the person you are sending a message to is a member or not, so you have a way to "insure" that they can reply for free... it only costs almost $10 per person. And that only ALLOWS them to reply... it doesn't mean that they will. And it's either a poor advertising technique or it's really slimy because if you look at a profile and close the window, a message pops up "find out when she opens it". I can't stand POF, but at least there your membership allows you to see when they read an email. This site is kind of like the airline fees... want to see who messaged you? Sign up. Want to see if they opened a mail... theres' a fee. Want to allow them to reply (not knowing if they are already a paid member)? There's another fee. And there are a lot of fake profiles. How do I know? Because you will come across a LOT of profiles that are word for word identical to other profiles.

First time I had been on a dating site since I was in my 20's. Being an honest person, never even thought sites would play the games they apparently do! First had technical issues with photos disappearing or not getting loaded or approved (with nothing being inappropriate about them). Luckily, they did have a call center (not in the U.S.) that would assist. Other problems I experienced were getting TONS of canned messages such as "Your photo caught my eye" or "Nice profile", with a lot of these profiles being incomplete with no photos. I totally believe most of these were completely fake profiles, their way of making it seem as if men were interested so I would want to keep paying them.
What kind of educated person can't write a few independent sentences they can't come up with on their own? Men would come up that in no way met my search criteria. But probably the most disingenuous thing I ended up finding out for a FACT from customer service, is they do not take down old profiles (if they are even real to begin with). So you could spend hours of your time messaging people that haven't been on that site for possibly years. This angered me to no end when I found out, I'm busy and they have no respect for people's time. Bought a six month subscription and ended up getting 5 months credited. (Thank GOD!) DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS SITE!
