Match.com Reviews

I have used Match before years ago and was on the site off and on. When I moved to a new state I used it again and then decided to hid my profile and was off the site for 1-2 years. I went to get back on and when I tried to log in I could not. So I did the reset password and could not find me. So I decided to set up a new profile then received a message saying that email has been used but the subscription was terminated. It also said new subscription would be reviewed and deleted? WHAT? I emailed customer support and each time I would get the "generic written message." I tried 3 or 4 times to email and explain that I had not been on the site and ask why was my profile terminated. If it was because it was inactive then I could understand but why could I not set up a new one. Same stupid response - they copy and paste it.

With the basic subscription you can't even read messages sent by other users. You also cannot turn off two-step verification. Match has clearly become a money grab, and I can honestly say I used to like it but now I HATE it. GO ELSEWHERE!!!!

I have been a member since April 2021. I will not be renewing. The site is fatally flawed and I don't believe many of the profiles and I suspect they are fabricated. Why would a dating/intro site fabricate? Only one reason; they lack real people to bring together. There has to be a better way to spend $80 than this. Photos will not upload either, some do, some don't. It's 2022, this is inexcusable, in my mind. Very disappointing. There are better choices out there and I'll be looking to those...

I do not care for the auto renewal, and had previously turned it off. When I signed back up this time it makes me go through my iTunes account to turn off auto renew. Since when do you have to go to a different app or website to turn off that site's renewal/subscription. Seems like a shady way to take my money and I do not care for it. Other than that it seems to be just another dating site.

I went to this site in hopes of finding love, what a joke. I think they are just collecting money. When I say no to a profile that same profile continues to pop up. I want my money back it's a joke. Jo

I wrote in requesting some changes be made to the search criteria. Obviously others did too. They came throgh with one of the most comprehensive set of parameters which can only make it easier to find the person you are looking for. Thanks. RE

Signed up for Match.com $44 a month. Didn’t meet anybody so after a week I deleted the app. Week later I got back on to try it again and it would not let me restore my subscription. Then it said, "Restore your subscription and you will be billed the difference at the end of your cycle if you do not cancel beforehand." So I clicked on the one month renewal of 2699. Charge my card $37 and I still couldn’t see any of my messages or my likes. This app is a joke and a scammer and they’re basically just trying to rip off people's money. If I can’t see likes more messages what was the $37 subscription for?

I retract my other review on Match. It is a good service and I recommend. They offer good service and are very helpful to the customer and I’m highly satisfied with the service and remedy I received from them.

"Match.com" doesn't do the matching. They give you a thousand of members in your chosen age range and have you browse through them. I have a certain requirements for a guy (non-religious, non-smoker...), but I'd have to sort out through everyone myself, the site would just throw them all in bulk, disregarding my wishes. Then, for my profile to be "on the top" the site wants me to pay extra BY HOUR. There are also a lot of scammers - good looking guys, sometimes with very good English, sometimes they write as if they use a Google translator. They are easy to spot, but the fact that they can use "Match.com" is worrisome. I am in a "senior" section, but do not think it's any different in other age category. The virtual "help" is a joke, using the same "come-on" for any question. Do not recommend this site to anyone.

Save your money and stick with the free dating apps. Match.com is absolutely crap now. There are hardly anyone using their service (at least in my small city) and most of the users aren't even paid members. You're stuck with paying $120 for a bad service because you were obligated to sign-up for a minimum of 3 months.

Match.com is being sued by the FCC for fraudulent marketing and scamming us out of our money. Check the Better Business Bureau before giving them any money. They’re an illegitimate, shady business. I bought a membership at the direction of some friends and soon learned there were almost no local members in my area. After a day I was sadly disappointed. Also, many of the profiles appear to be “shells” - no responses and nobody reaches out. Attempted to cancel my membership and get a prorated refund, they refused and insisted I keep looking. On the hook now for 6-months. Your money is better spent on other websites that aren’t shady. Buyer beware!

When I complain, Match responds by explaining that people can hide their profiles.

Hands down, and with the exception of the scam-riddled Elite Singles, this is the worst dating site I've encountered. Match.com is ineptly designed, clunky to use and often maddening just to access. The vaunted algorithm they employ to find you a supposedly perfect Match is in fact so lacking in nuance and discernment that it would consistently fail to pair Romeo with Juliet, or Cleopatra with Mark Antony.

I pay a lot of money for this app, and several times a day, I can't get into the mobile app, even with the correct password. When I write to the support service, I always get the same answer to reset my password. I must have done this ten times now. For all the money, an inferior app.

This pos company matches me with my dream woman, So I close my account, REPEATEDLY! Still keeps popping open. Get a call from my dream girl who tells me I'm a liar and cheater and I'm still on Match. They are so sued!!! They ruined my life and took everything from me. So think of that before you use this pos company.

Didn't follow my preferences. Lost info on men I was interested in. 90% of the time they showed me derelicts. Three profiles I communicated with were removed. Such a waste of time and money. My advice, it's better and safer to be alone.

No issues at all about using Match. Was here 2 years. Pleasant experience. I was done. Moving to try another site. I called and had auto renewal turned off. Let my account expire in July. Left a profile on as a free member. Beware of companies holding your credit card #. In September I found my account activated again and a charge on my credit card for 155.00. Do you ever really end a subscription? Business can just ring it through again without my authorization. No email saying "hello welcome back" just an unauthorized credit card charge. Yes I have contacted them for a refund. Why should they? Yes I will put a stop payment on any future charges from Match.com, but "come-on", really, should I have to do that?

They use other more attractive people and scam people by catfishing. Dishonesty and liars are making this the worst for sure for fraud. Don't have a thing to do with them. They are greedy and have no customer service to speak of. Pathetic!!!!

I had my profile set to hidden and hadn't filled out much along with uploading one photo. All of a sudden I get bombarded with sleezy messages. I was really put off by it and contacted customer service for a refund and to de-activate my account. No response of course. I'll stick with eharmony, they have a better reputation and only matches can contact you along with having settings that work correctly.

Match uses an app and a program that is clunky and needs updating for well paying customers. Match reports false information when trying to re-sell subscription their expensive subscriptions: sends emails to prospective clients that other subscribers are liking your profile so you will be enticed to purchase another subscription.

Match.com falsely advertises. They give the impression that for $143 for 6 months (which is what I paid them), you get full access to everything. But then AFTER you sign up they buttonhole you for MORE money. They wanted me to pay another $29 a month so free members could contact me. They didn't say that before I paid them! It's a rip off!

I have used several dating sites over the years and met several wonderful people. This one is the most expensive I have ever used. I have had no matches worth mentioning despite trying to meet many women by sending many likes and messages. I must not be too hard to meet due to my previous experiences with other sites.

It's very simple: I paid (in advance, as all must do) and met and for a short while, dated a woman. It turns out she was more than a little crazy, was a sycophant, OH, and a liar!! The sixth week she goes, "I should have mentioned that I'm married." I broke it off, she cyber-stalked me, and filed some complaint to Match and they promptly terminated my account without due process or a refund. So basically they are an uncaring, nameless, voiceless, greed machine that ALSO OWNS OkCupid and Hinge, from which I've also been terminated without a refund. Isn't this unAmerican? The psychos and truth deniers are influencing Match so if you value your money, don't use Match, OkCupid, or Hinge.

This site requires more money for additional features. I don't think I should have to pay that much for additional features. I paid for a 3 month subscription, created my profile added pics, and sent many messages. Roughly 20 messages. After 7 -10 days I notice there is no option to receive return messages. No way for men to reply back to me so I reached out to customer service and was notified them and asked for a refund because I wasn't going to pay additional monies. They advised that I could not get a refund. At the very least they could subtract the 7-10 days and give me a prorate. Some funds were due to me and they refused'' RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

This is absolutely the worst dating site of them all. You Lose half of the answers Because Match cannot keep up. It's pretty hard to have a dialogue. Then it's 2 or 3 times more expensive than other dating sites. And at least 50% of the profiles are fake.

I cancelled after 24 hrs. They refuse to give a refund! The customer support fails to communicate effectively, and they will not explain anything. I notified them in writing via text box, and made copies. I finally had to call my 'bank' which contacted Match. That finally got their attention! They got hit with a charge back, very quickly. Don't listen to their intimidation tactics of no refund, call your bank and tell your bank what they're doing.

After paying for a 3 months subscription, it feels like I was "Scammed"! Other than emailing me endless pick, and many times after reaching out to the ones I thought would be compatible I would never receive a response. It made me think maybe these profiles were fake. Stay away from this site, it's expensive and at best, Match.com taking your money and giving you nothing in return.

Match is a complete scam. I was on there for 24 hours and they sent me an email saying my account was terminated and due to privacy policies they couldn't tell me why. The only comment that decision could have been based on was one I made that it may have been a bad decision to use Match. Well, turns out I was right. They have all my information including photos, driver's license, to verify my account, address, phone number and payment information. Any identity issues after this...I'm pointing right at them.

1) Their algorithm does not work. I put very specific settings, even set them as “dealbreakers” and would still get likes and messages from 100+ people a day who didn’t match my settings, it was exhausting. Not only that but I’d say 20% of the messages I received from these men were inappropriate and made me feel objectified. Ex: One guy told me he wanted to tickle my feet so I responded saying how inappropriate it was and then he said he wanted to lick my toes. Another guy was offended that I never responded to him, after I responded letting him know my dog had passed and wasn’t checking Match, he told me to “** you and your dead dog”. Yes, I blocked both of them.

The latest round of marketing, to include their new commercial (June 2021) is beyond repelling and off putting. So much so that I am disgusted enough to write this review. I will personally never use your website now and several account holders I know have cancelled their accounts because of their new marketing tactics. No one I know will personally continue to use or support your company.

I joined Match.com and had a great experience. I met decent guys who were not crazy stalker types. I actually ended up marrying one of them 8 months after we met, and we have been married over 4 years!

The App is rated 3.5 by Google Play which is generous because it hardly works. You set preferences like gender or religion and they email you matches that are wrong. Not easy to cancel, no trial period if you pay and site is bad. No 24 hour Customer Service.

Too many notifications of ppl that you haven't even like or search for. Too pricey for what you get out of it. I see very unprofessional ppl use the app and is very disturbing to not have a guideline of what to post or say when contacting others.

I was a widow and joined Match in 2009. I exchanged chit chat with a few people and made arrangements to meet one person at the Elks for a beer. He was a no show and his reason was - after he re-read my profile he realized I was a Taurus and he felt our signs clashed. I'm glad he was a no show because that kind of thinking is too weird for me. The second person I met lived 2 hours away and we both decided it was too far to meet in the middle. The third person was a winner. We met in a public place the first time and dated for over a year. We've been living together since 2010 and have built a home together. I love telling people I met him on Match. There are relationships that are made in Heaven or on Match.

The site is well organized and kept up to date with plenty of information. What I find is that pictures being posted by participants are not what they look like today. It would help if the site would state, "photo posting public must be no more than 3 years old".

Most of these dating sites are full of scam artists especially pretending to be females or may be real trying to scam people into getting monies from someone who can be victim to their charm & gets ripped off.

Good experience. A lot of people. Many options. Clear menu. Android friendly. Met my first and second wife and I don't have idea what I should write about. The website is ok. Ok omg is little bit expensive. Should be cheaper.

This site requires more money for additional features. I don't think I should have to pay that much for additional features. It's difficult to maneuver the website and there's one feature that is not helpful. If I don't choose a match, I have to keep moving, it's not a maybe and that should be changed.

It's no different than the free dating apps. Very expensive to have membership yet the quality of members is average. I have used this app on several different occasions and would never recommend it to anyone.

Sign in test is not one click to verify that I am not a robot for reCaptcha. So to sign in, when trying to update account, there is a verify with a puzzle. The puzzle has many vague images of dice, hard to define what's there, and asks to verify which dice combination adds to 14. So it goes around with hard to see images, some that do not add to 14, and shuffles them as if in a card game with a card shark. It's outrageous because the dice are hard to see. Imagine yourself, looking at 6 thumbnail images, hard to see because dice are on their sides, and then you have to go from one image to another to add 14. I have seen other websites use select the category that fits, boats, cars, traffic lights, etc. But only fools ask you to add while viewing vague images and then the system shuts off because you took too long but they never showed the right combination. Is it a dating service or a security incompetence of disservice?

I had almost no interactions on this site and I'm beginning to wonder if it's a scam. Or they perhaps have like a million non-existent profiles. I've heard people met someone on Match, but based on my experience that sounds like a miracle. I'm canceling my subscription and I hope they don't show my profile when I do. The premise of online dating has become highly corruptible and this company isn't one of the best. It might have been in the past but it's now highly suspect.

Following my divorce after 17 years of marriage, I was hesitant to try any type of site for dating, particularly worried for my privacy and safety. But utilizing Match.com I've been able to meet quality people, despite not yet meeting my long-term partner yet. The dating site is simple and easy to navigate, giving me the ample amount of information and insight to the persons I'm interested in meeting or speaking to. It gives me a few way to send flirts and list secret crushes, which is somewhat fun! :)

I really enjoyed being on this app. I did not find my current partner on this site but I met a few interesting people who I am still friends with to this day. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone looking to find a partner or even a friend.

The app is ok. The company is difficult to work with. I have canceled my membership and opted out of all correspondence and I still get email. They are ruthless and don't even take down your profile when you ask to be removed.

Match.com is the most untrusted company that you can give not just ALL your personal data to, but your information about your in depth self and pictures too. And guess who you are giving all that data to? Yes, OUTSOURCED companies that don’t even speak English. Most identity fraud, scams, and data selling come from these outsourced companies that do not have any repercussions for hurting Americans. I set up an account just to be locked out after they received all my personal data. Here is what I experienced afterwards.

I signed up for the 1 month membership ($45) because during my trial I was constantly getting "messages" and "likes" so I thought wow...cool...I'll sign up and maybe this will actually be the site where I'll meet someone. Well as soon as I paid the $45...all messages stopped and the same with the "likes"... It was very obvious that this site is a scam. They have automated messages and likes that go out to non-members. I also learned that the people who are actually on there are scammer. Lots of folks from out of the country pretending to be in state. Lots of the time the accounts will state they are in one place and when you chat they soon share they are overseas. I did make it a point to report these accounts, just for the heck of it and of course, they were never removed.

Well where do I start? This is one expensive dating site. 50 bucks to join. That’s not a problem, and that’s just basic services. 50 bucks to buy what they call boost, 5 bucks for to know when your messages are read, then 5 bucks for you to call and have your number blocked, then they promise you love, so after over 200 likes and messages sent, talking to a dating expert that just reads from a booklet with her children screaming in the background and that’s free your first time. After that you pay 50 bucks just to talk to a dating expert. So following all suggestions I had only one reply and she dropped me for more money. The women on this site are gold diggers. I can offer love, show love and yes I make great money but when someone comes along with more money the gold diggers on this site and Match.com could care less. All they want is your money. Please, please don’t waste your hard earned money on gold diggers. For your own sanity.

Match Group's customer service is not very friendly. They hide behind an overseas call center to not deal with upset customers. I had a con artist try to take over my home and tried to steal from me. That person then reported me to Match.com and instead of them working with me on it, they turned around and said that I violated their terms. They said they investigated it using local law enforcement. According to my local police they never contacted them. Instead of talking to me and hearing my story they just said they couldn't for "Privacy Reasons." Their customer service is useless and because they own most of the market they proceeded to ban me from all of their platforms and just hid behind this wall. It even says in their "Community Guidelines" that defaming someone goes against them which is what they did. Beware of all Match Group sites. Look them up and see who they own.

I paid for a month's subscription ($34) and as soon as they got the money they started sending me creeps as potential partners. I couldn't see likes (I paid for it) and everything I was supposed to get as an upgraded dater was not given. They lied. Also there is absolutely no way to get in touch with them (even though they have contact us on their page) to complain about anything. My advice to anyone who is contemplating paying money... don't waste it!!! It's not worth it.

The features Match.com describes in their online documentation are completely absent from both the app and the browser version. I have communicated numerous times with Tech Support and they just blithely state that the terminology used in their documentation is "different" than how the app looks. So be prepared to never find anything you are looking for, either by poking around or looking through the online Help. If you do ask questions the first thing you get is an automated reply that never has anything even remotely to do with what you asked. You then have to Reply to get a human response. None of them are any better than the bot. You will never get an answer to any question, no matter how simple.

I had issues with males soliciting for sex and Match did not even respond. The people I were matched to were NOTHING like my preferences. Match is no different than guys hiding behind profiles in order to lure you to their place to have sex, once! Then ignore you and tell the women after you that you are a stalker, as they will be labeled when their one night of sex is over. Don’t pay to be on this site, ever.

I've been a paid member of Match on and off for the better part of 6 years. All has been good until recently, the past year or so. I am a gay woman that obviously seeks gay women and this is listed in the preferences on my profile. For the past year, and only in the past year, I have been receiving daily messages from men. Every single day. Every single week. For the past year. This is far beyond the occasional "guy who pretends to be a woman seeking women" profile - with the amount of men that I've received messages from despite my profile falling under the 'women seeking women' category tells me that Match.com is now displaying my profile in the "Top Picks" for men, despite the fact that my profile is not supposed to be shown to men. In other words - Match.com is now drawing from gay women's profiles just to keep their (paying) men customers.

If you don't need to interact with anyone at Match, you probably won't have any problem. But if something goes wrong, their customer service staff appear to have been trained to keep promising they will fix things, but never do. In my case, my email changed and they make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to change it and refuse to do it themselves. After 6 phone calls to them over three weeks, they apparently have now disabled incoming phone calls from my number. It is pretty incredible!

I signed up for a 3 month premium subscription then add stipulated unlimited msgs /who received and read your msgs/ unlimited likes etc etc.. Within minutes the site started sending me notices about limits and how I could pay for them. Keep in mind I'm already a premium user in one instance. I sent a msg to a lady and the Match.com send me a notice saying that if I wanted to get a reply from this lady I could pay for it myself. In other words my limitless msgs did not include other members to be allowed to reply to your msgs unless I believe they're members themselves.. Within hours of being on the site I realized that it was robbery with so many hidden costs.. I immediately cancel my subscription only to later noticed that match.com had charged me for the 3 whole months regardless if I only used it for a few hours..

Match makes it impossible to delete the account. I asked them to delete it and then 6 months later, they started sending me Match collections of potential women suitors all over again. This is highly irksome.

Made the mistake of trying Match.com again after a couple years away. I left because of deceptive billing practices and false matching and likes they create in an attempt to keep users engaged. Like before, as I neared the end of my term, I could no longer access my account settings or change my password. I received an error message multiple times and was directed to email customer support. I attempted this process multiple times over a few weeks with no luck. Of course during this process they withdrew double the membership fee I originally signed up for and they still have not resolved access to my account.

Match blocked me without cause twice in a row, wouldn't explain why and disappeared a month before even issuing a refund! I couldn't read nor respond to messages, making me look fake and sabotaging my love life- on the weekend too!

Match.com uses fake messages and hits to draw you in and once you join. The members that contact you are not paid subscriptions so you can never talk to them. Then once upon cancelling they do not refund your money even though you cancelled with in the prescribed time frame. Do not join. They trick you. They do not have good paying members. All just free memberships and they cannot contact you.

I got on Match about a year ago and hardly ever went back to the site unless I got an email. So this past Tuesday night 1/26/21 I decided to pay for a membership because I had 26 likes a 15 messages and without a membership you can't view that info. It was $28 for 1 month and said they don't bill until the end of the month. After I got in to view half of my likes were not even close to my location and they said it would be 9.99 for a month for someone to message back and not cost them. Being a gentleman I agreed. It again read will be billed at the end of month.

Signed up and paid for a one month subscription. Within 24 hours, my account was locked out. I called and was told I would receive an email from their technical department within 24-48 hours. Never happened. Called again and promised again. Nothing happened. Several more calls and told by each rep they couldn't see the issue with my account and I had to wait for an email. At the second week, I called and was told the problem would be rectified by the end of the day. Not trusting that answer, I waited until 90 minutes before they closed for the weekend to call again.

I joined Match back on the 1st of Jan, 2021. I thought I made a very nice profile, took my time writing it, putting out good information on myself. I got a pretty good deal for 4.99 for a one month trial. Well here we are almost 3 weeks in, and zero matches, I have sent probably over a hundred messages, my pictures are good, I like to think I'm a fairly nice looking guy, I put up good pictures, no filters, dressed nicely, no posing pics, just decent photos...And nothing...I would say, absolutely do not spend anything on this site.

Although, I've heard mixed reviews for Match.com, sadly, this particular site is terrible. They quickly take your money and, if you seek a refund within the same month (I signed up the beginning of January, 2021) --- they indicate it should have asked "within the first 3 days"! The majority, if not all, the profiles are not real. I would like a complete refund for the 6-month subscription so I'm not forced to report fraud.

Literally the worst customer Service ever! I have sent over a dozen requests stating I am having issues getting in to view my account, with no response back. They say to wait 24-48 hours. This has been going on for weeks. They had no problem taking my money, though. I recommend using a site that has a responsive customer service department.

I have contacted customer service at least 5 times in the last 3 weeks. The person who answers can never answer my questions and they always say someone will call me back but only 2 times have they called back and not only did I have to repeat my issue, they could not help and told me that someone else from yet another department would call me back! At this point I’m done waiting. Dating is difficult enough without your dating site adding to it! Just beware if you have any issues. Don’t expect them to be able to resolve it without someone having to call you back. I’m just gonna go sign up with one of their competitors. It’s clear they don’t care about my business.

As my family and I were watching Hulu, the most disgusting commercial came on from Match and completely terrified my 5 and 6 year old children! I am extremely disappointed in match for even advertising something so horrific! Really satan with a match?! I have recommended match time after time...NEVER AGAIN!

Match terminated my account for NO VALID REASON. They refuse to refund me the $129.99 I paid for 6 months and only used it for 3 months because they sent me an email saying they decided to terminate my account as if I'm some kind of Nigerian scam or prostitute. Buyer beware. The WORST dating website.

Today, I saw a commercial on national television representing Match.com - I was so disgusted. Depicting Satan as a date of a young women and looking at a lake of fire and brimstone, as if it was a romantic scene…was sickening. How dare you!! Why would you have such symbolism when there are so many families suffering from COVID, death, financial hardships, and possibly a bleak future? Why would you choose Satan (WHICH GIVES NO HOPE) as the future and ruler of 2021? What kind of company does that? I am rebuking any evil or revenue that comes from this advertising for it is pure evil. TAKE IT DOWN! I believe I have my own answer; it reflects the sadistic hearts of all the people evolved in the production of this evil illustration of match.com.

Match.com is part of Scout24 Germany which uses numerous fake women profiles to attract fools, in fact they use Scout24 fake profiles into Match.com -Those who chose to register Match.Com after being deceived with many "likes " before premium membership will be blocked by those profiles once you chose to respond their messages. The whole is a scam empire led by an elderly German man and French woman located in Munich. I caught them early enough, fearing legal action they refunded me the membership fees.

There is no activity. It's not worth a dime. I had my second date yesterday via Seek4Her - it was like a gift for Thanksgiving. We felt that special chemistry. So there are sites and apps which work, but Match isn't one of them. I recommend to stop wasting your time on it. I think Match is nearing its end. They are desperate in their efforts to milk customers for money instead of actually working on their site and improving it by attracting real people. They are quite nefarious in their methods for getting your money.

DO NOT join! False Advertising and HORRIBLE Customer Service! Save your money. Much more reputable sites out there. Quick to take your money but very very ignorant when it comes to assisting the customer. Again,..Beware!!

Site is full of fake profiles. Many fake likes and conversations. You can tell the conversation isn't real. Answers given either don't make sense or are intentionally vague and provide zero depth and go nowhere. If you are discerning about your potential match, I would avoid match.com. Not saying there isn't romance to be had on there, but it's not even close to the way commercials represent this site. Better off trying to meet people IRL.

Match.com is trying to steal money from consumers. I "Cancelled" my account weeks ago and they charged my card for nearly $100 on their so called auto renewal. When a consumer "cancels" an account, it is illegal and unethical to charge their credit card. I would recommend contacting the district attorney in the city of Dallas and perhaps an attorney for a class-action lawsuit. Perhaps I will do one or both. Match.com CEO Sharmistha Dubey, YOU NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SUCH UNETHICAL, UNLAWFUL transactions to the consumer. Shame on you.

It takes a long time to find someone honest and decent. This process is easier and safer on J4Dating.com - I met my girlfriend there. The only thing I regret is wasting so much time on Match. Most of the profiles on Match turned out to be fake or outdated or just not interested. Lots of people are playing games. So if you value your time and money I suggest staying away from Match. It's not the place where you can use your money and time with tangible results.

Have been on for three weeks. Did go on two dates with men who were still married- not who I’m looking for. Only other five men who I was interested in- I would send a simple message and automatically their profile disappeared. Not even enough time to read what I had written. Beware!! They must keep old profiles up to lure people in.

I pay for a 3 subscription, I didn’t do anything bad and wasn’t almost using the app and they block me and took my money. And then they say, they don’t know the reasons and that they will be sending a email, don’t know the reasons so they block my account and keep my money lol.

Created account as a free visitor. Within minutes a had dozens of drop-dead beautiful women interested in me. These accounts were scams to entice me into a full paid subscription. Once subscribed these women were gone. These women either worked or were paid by Match.

If you are a LGBT, don't bother to subscribe to Match.com. They only care about charging you money and have no respect for you whatsoever. I have complained numerous time about seeing men appearing under women searching women section and they have done nothing about it. There's hardly any active members and the few who are active are just waiting around for paid members to message them so they don't have to subscribe to the service. Smart on their end I guess since it's not worthy to pay $100+ bucks and get nothing out of it.

I wish I'd read these reviews before I signed up for Match.com. 99% of the guys who "liked" me were bots, scammers, and fake profiles. I was taken in a few times, not for money, but thinking I was meeting someone genuine. Terrible experience, really humiliating and depressing. Every single time after several days, weeks of chatting, they turned wacko. Match is being sued, which I didn't know, for creating their own fake profiles from abandoned profiles to make people think there are people interested in them. The robots who were talking to me were really good... after maybe 5 or 6 messages, they seemed cold & sometimes would get nasty. I couldn't get my money back and I'm furious with the whole experience.

I have not had any luck with this site. I have been scammed three times since signing up and it hasn’t been a month. The person messaging either says “you have a nice smile” or “you are pretty” in their opening line. One of these connections actually ended up stinging a lot. The gentleman was very smooth for days and then he started slipping and not using correct English. I suppose they changed operators. That is when I got suspicious and confronted him and he never responded again. Another indicator, be careful if after a few chats they ask for your phone number so they can text rather then chat on Match. I am assuming this is all about my age, I am 67 and divorced. I’m thinking if I had let it go on longer they would be asking for money! Be very careful seniors.

I’m a Premium Member. The site only gives you a handful of members per day, you need to buy boosts to see more. Boosts are expensive. I have seen three days with no members shown. The whole deal is to get the most out of you.

I have been a member of Match.com for just over two weeks. They send me potential matches, and I have selected a few and sent them a message. I was wondering why I had not heard back from anyone. Was it something I said? Well, now I discover that you have to pay extra if you want the other person to be able to write you back for free. $10/month. PLUS, you have to pay extra if you want to know if they opened your message. Another $3 per month. Feature after feature I expect to be included in my already-not-cheap subscription, and they are not. Go somewhere else. (Unless, of course you are a widow in his late 60s or 70s and happen to live near me. Ha ha.)

I joined Match about a year after my husband passed away. Many friends and family members had used it before and I was excited to maybe meet someone on there. In 3 weeks I met 15 scammers and numerous others with fraudulent accounts. The pictures and profiles were fake. I called Match so many times that they ended up giving me half of my money back! Match was good at emailing me to tell me that the people I was chatting with were frauds. However, they need to work harder to match credit cards to real people to prevent this. I would NOT recommend this site to anyone at all!

Match charged for another 6 months subscription even though I had selected opt out in settings and when I called them on it, was told it is not their problem. Have it happen 2 times... The 1st time I used my credit card and the 2nd time I used PayPal because I figured PayPal would help give extra protection but that proof correct as they say that I didn't cancel from their subscription service also.

I signed up cause I’m bored out of my mind with this Covid thinking I don’t know maybe meet someone to hike with? But I say 30 miles max and they match me with people 60+ miles away. No one in regular days (traffic) is going to drive from Oakland or Berkeley to have dinner. They recommended one guy who doesn’t want anyone who has had children even if they’re grown. I have a child. Why would they match me with someone who won’t date you if you’ve ever had a child? Lol. The photos are also weird. I can’t explain it. Lots of people look like serial killers. I am really disappointed. Two more months to go.

After I received the renewal notice, within two days I canceled online at Match.com. They claim my cancellation was never received and charged my credit card for another 6 months in the amount of $149. I tried to call them about the reversal of the charges to no success. It's a go around to nowhere. Never give companies like match.com my credit card info again. They are out to get your money....Pretty distasteful.

A few months back I was banned from the site, for some reason. I was never told why, inquiries went unanswered. I was only told I had violated their terms. I was told they would reinstate my profile, but if I violated their terms again, I would be banned for life. It's kinda hard to know what not to do again, when you don't know what you did wrong in the first place. I was reinstated, only to be banned again...for no reason at all. I hadn't even logged into the site in almost a week. Tried to log in, only to be told I was banned. Once again, no reason why, no answers to emails, nothing. So I have no idea what, if anything, I did wrong. I never threatened anyone, never told anyone they were ugly or anything like that. I truly have no idea what it was I did wrong. From reading through other reviews on here, I can only guess that they ban people simply because another user reported them, with no investigation or ability to defend yourself from the allegations.

Do NOT, and I repeat, do NOT waste your money on MATCH.com. Within a day of joining the site I received several responses on my profile ... all of which I quickly learned were fake profiles. After messaging back and forth a few times with these men, I realized that they were actually men who are contracted by Match.com. These men (or could be women posing as men) are hired to engage with paying users to hide their lack of "real person" user enrollment. You may think the man/woman you are conversing with is a real man or woman who is searching for a real mate, but in reality, the man/woman you are engaging with is actually a man/woman hired to converse with you to "better" your dating site experience.

This felt like the worst 2 weeks of my life. Getting a refund might be impossible but I'm trying anyway. The site randomly likes other people you didn't choose when you sign up (I can see how this could potentially cause issues for both parties). I do not feel that there were good choices for men to date. 1 man lied about city he lived in, 1 was married and hid his profile and wanted to meet, 1 blocked me on the way to the first date which is terrifying to think of what his intentions could have been, the 4th one I actually went on a date with confessed he had molested a girl over 30 years ago (on the one and only date), then I cancelled my membership immediately afterwards. I'm done with online dating because it felt like a scary and dangerous experience for me.

Absolute theft!! They charged me twice and said it is nonrefundable!!! Twice for the same subscription!!! Liars and crooks!!! Don't give them your credit card!!! There are plenty better companies than this lying cheating website!

Match.com is in the business of wasting your time to try to generate new business. Here is how their game is played. The vast amount of profiles are for unpaid members. The only way a member can contact another member is if they are a paying member. The only way a member can read and reply to another member's message is if they are a paying member. This way Match.com uses its paying members to get the unpaid members to become paid members.

If you use the free account, they won't block you because they want you to continue using it till you think you might be able to get a chance to hook up with someone, and when you start paying for the subscription, they would block your account speedily. I paid 3 month subscription at one go. Started for only 2 days, and they block my account for no rhyme nor reason. When I emailed them, they haven't responded for more than 5 days and do not give me any refunds. They are just trying to scam your money. Read many reviews from other online review site about Match, and realised I wasn't the only customer who got conned. Read up more reviews about Match from more online review sites and you'll find out for yourself how Match tries to scam their customers of our money.

I joined Match very recently and paid the membership as well as a bunch of boosts to get going. I met some people on there and it seemed all was good. I was contacted from a lady that had she was separated in her summary and I was not interested in someone that is still technically married. I blocked her then added to my summary that if you are not single please skip my profile right after I blocked her. She then reported my profile simply clicking on the report a user tab and checked off that I was married which I am happily divorced! Match instantly sent me a termination of my account after I just paid for it and a bunch of dues and never even considered getting ahold of me, checking her out, nothing, just terminated my account.

They robbed me of another $100+ charge!!! I unsigned up but somehow they managed to charge my card again! Absolutely terrible!!! Do not use this website. This is a scam. They take your money then charge you more and more without your permission and say "This is the part of your user agreement." I didn't sign up to be constantly robbed! Do not use this company! You will be overcharged before you know it!

I join Match because of high of the hype the dream they sold me. It was expensive but you can't put a price on love. Before I join my email was blowing up with men wanting to meet me wow I said..so I join. No sooner after I joined the Inbox nothing!! That happen after the failed attempts to meet the man who have inbox me earlier no reply..hmmm... Next THE pop up came telling me to pay for a boost to get views..huh I am attractive I don't need a boost that was crazy. They continued tech pounce me on a Boost and I never did it and a replies with little to none, either I'll boost or I get nothing. No one will see me. I was pissed. My advice to you skip match, you're not going to get anything unless you spend hundreds of dollars with Boost. It's not fair. It's a lie. Had I know that I would never have joined. A waste of time. A waste of money. After the 30 days I canceled it and took all my pictures off. I wish I can get my money back.

I wish I could have given this site minus 10 stars!!!! DO Not waste your money. I am so upset I wasted my money on this crappy site. I specifically adjusted settings not to shown my location and of course it didn’t work I adjusted settings for members without photos not to contact me and NOPE! Hey still do. Terrible men I was also solicited for prostitution I filed a complaint and nope! No one ☝️ reached out to me! This has got to be the worst experience of my life! Match you are terrible. Shame on you!

This website is a joke, an expensive joke at that. Most of the men I tried to get in touch with either didn't answer or answered with one or 2 words. A few told me how sexy and beautiful I am, but no worthwhile conversation. I wonder what they're after. I did start chatting with a couple, however after one or 2 worthwhile conversations it stopped. It is easy to spot a scammer, they usually only provide one picture and don't have too much to say. This site is crawling with them. Needless to say, I'm really disappointed and it is not worth my while to chat with anyone on this site.

It is the worst site. It has increasingly removed useful features to know if you are a "match". It blindly sends "likes" that were not initiated by the user. And logging in is a nightmare. Even worse, is that you can not get help and assistance, period!!!

The guy I meet on Match ended up being a scam. After 3 months he ask for money cause his dog was sick. Told me he have to sell his Rolex. The give away he ask for money in pounds. Knew it was a scam.

Match is ok. Sometimes profiles aren't what you put in and three quarters of the time when you send a message to someone they don't even read it. It's like a waste of time. I don't know if it cost more money for certain packages and that's why somebody you message doesn't click it, I have no idea.

Way too many selections that do not fit the individual's profile. Not selective enough on location, especially for seniors. There is nothing to provide limitations to account for the SARS-CoV2 virus that places many older people at increased risk. The site is so cumbersome and ill-suited for older subscribers that I withdrew from the site.

In reviewing this dating website I started with the free trial. I found that I was matched with people in my immediate area and despite the fact that I am from a large city I was being matched with people that I knew already and only people in my immediate area. Geography appeared to be the most important thing in the match, even though there was an elaborate questionnaire. I will then increase to the first year payment thinking that I would be matched better with people that I have things in common with but once again I was matched according to my ZIP Code. I was not very happy with the results of this dating website and soon thereafter joining that first level I canceled my subscription

When I subscribed Match offered a 7 day refund if needed. I requested cancelation after one day because there were no local applicants. Had to call Better Business Bureau to get a refund. Plus if they get your credit card they don't stop charging.

Site appears to be easily hacked. My photo was replaced with a celebrity photo... that got me a lot of interest. The photos of women I was interested in proved to be out of date. IE photo's of women I actually met were 20 years older in some cases. I got a lot of "scam" responses to my AD from 20-somethings in Nigeria, Somalia and Gabon.

Match.com is the "lesser of the evils." I HATE eHarmony (very few potential candidates and so many that are not fully registered, just see "profile image"). OurTime is awful - they "claim" they have a higher caliber of men but they are the bottom of the ocean and they are terrible about meeting my "filter criteria." Bumble is TERRIBLE at meeting my "search criteria" and even as a paying customer there are very few ways to actually connect, plus it's too limited in the ability to "write about yourself." Match has the most flexibility to write about yourself, the most pics to upload, more extensive "search criteria" BUT the men they "recommend" all too often are NOWHERE NEAR meeting my search criteria. It has one of the better ways to communicate with matches

Match has changed from what it use to be. There are a lot of fake profiles, and not enough profiles geographically compatible. Most of them are all out of state. This is the only dating site with this issue, and it’s very expensive. Not worth the money.

Wanted Credit Card applications FIRST EVEN THOUGH THEIR TV AD SAID FREE ENROLLMENT. Also I live in Key West Florida and ALL 100% of their matchstick were 100 to 200 miles away. Also I am a ** male and the majority of matchstick were **, Hispanic and Cuban. Also I am 72 and their matches were TEENAGERS TO 50 YEARS!

Even though I am of age and I look young does not mean they can terminate my account. I did have a picture of me and a dog though. I am so pissed off at them. I just want a normal dating life meeting people I can trust. I do not recommend using this 'cause they discriminate against who you are.

I wish they would allow a box to check regarding my preference for men without beards! Most of the men Match suggest for me (about 60% have beards)! Other than that I appreciate that members can share a lot about themselves and what matters most to them in their bios. I don't expect for all the pictures to be current, and it is helpful to see how their lives may have changed over time, however, it is helpful to have at least one current photo within the last year.

I invested a good amount of money and I still don't have a girlfriend or wife!! This site has a great selection of ladies out there to scam or deceive men thinking that they will meet but don't. I finished my search a month ago and found that women I searched for on Valentime.com.

Match.com is one of the better sites because they allow you to select who you want to meet. NEVER use a service like eHarmony where THEY select your matches and do it quite poorly despite their ads claiming how great they are. All sites have inactive members who will never respond to you but Match gave me a better response rate than some other sites. It costs more than some other sites for full features, but you get what you pay for. During COVID-19 dating sites have lost their luster but when things return to normal it should be good again.

Dont really use it anymore...but when my wife died...I did access it....Sure want what I expected....Not very good matches....I found most people make up things to make them look more attractive...Even found the pictures weren't real.

Oh. My. Freaking. Flip. I paid for 6 “Super Likes.” The ONLY reason I signed up was bc of this one girl that was totally my punching weight and a gal I could take home to mom. Freaking mobile won’t let you search by name. She eventually showed up in the pre arranged order you are shown. I exercised a “super like.” I do not post a picture bc I have a public profile in the real world. I get a message I can’t use a super like unless I post a photo. I back out of it, and it shows I used up a super-like. In addition, I never saw her again, even though I didn’t swipe left. Fuck this site. I’m very much hoping she’s on another site. In the meantime I just burned through $48 bucks for nothing.

Match is one of the few remaining sites/apps that require a paid membership to send messages. This is good because it does tend to weed out the "casual lookers". My only complaint is that I wish they'd just lower their prices and just go with an "everyday low price" model, rather than playing the game of me having to wait for a promotion.

I would definitely recommend Match.com. I always felt say compared to other dating sites. My matches were set to my preferences which was easy to navigate and overall it was a comfortable site to use and in late March 2017 I met who would end up becoming my husband. Our 3rd wedding anniversary is late this year. He is a very smart, caring and intelligent man. Good to my son from previous relationship and we now have a beautiful 16 month old daughter. I thank God and Match.com for the perfect connection.

They take your money, and then don't give you a match you would want to pursue. I felt they are scammers. Not good results for an older woman either. Just very misleading. Get your hopes up, and then, boom! All done!

The Mobile app is a little limited in how you can message. If you try to leave the text to refresh your memory, you lose what you've written. Because it's a pay site, the quality of clients is better.

This is the only dating service I've used, so I have no basis for comparison regarding the cost, safety, matching process, etc. I signed up about 15 years ago when Match was generally brand new and the only game in town. The onboarding process was tedious but thorough and the match results were hyper-localized, which I liked a lot. Contacting the dates was easy. It had a tiered pricing system. It encouraged pictures.

It was the worst experience ever. They kept sending daily matches full of guys who didn't even match the 'what you're looking for' criteria I had - not even with basic stuff such as age. There appears to be no vetting process and guys were lying about age, height, size - photos did not look like the real person. Most were rude, crude, passive aggressive, had anger management issues, just plain crazy. A guy friend who saw some of the messages apologized on behalf of them - that was how bad it was. Why waste your money paying to get harassed by crazy, angry, unattractive, dishonest guys?

I have used this app and found it untrustworthy. Not enough information on the other party, and the disappointment of meeting someone and nothing that was as advertised. I would not recommend this app to anyone who wants a true and real relationship.

They leave your profile up even though you’re no longer a member. Once this happens they send you many emails and likes which never go anywhere once you join. When you join the emails pretty much stop.

Match.com does not delete profiles of non members. They leave them on the site to suck you in. Then they never respond. They also stopped posting job information which in my opinion is why I joined and paid their high price. I am looking for retired members but they deleted that option. I will not pay them again.

They offered me a free profile but what they don't tell you is that you cant communicate with any other members until you enroll in a subscription. They constantly send you emails letting you know that other members had liked your profile or sent you messages but they don't allow you to check your mailbox until you pay them. I was working on my free profile loading pictures undecided if paying a subscription ir not. I had about 6 pictures already uploaded and suddenly out of the blue Match.com sent me a warning window saying they had blocked the access to my account with not explanation whatsoever!

Match.com is the worst of all. They don't check backgrounds, jobs, pictures. People dating there lied about jobs, pictures, marital status. Don't waste your time and money with them. Customer service is the worst, they never know anything, they confuse people, email accounts, it's terrible, terrible.

I've been a premium subscriber to the site now for a few months, and so far it's been very underwhelming to say the least. I'm not completely sure if I should be jaded at the site, or the women on there, or both. My profile that I created is very thorough, complete, and sincere. Way more than most that I've seen on the site. My profile word count is maxed out at 4000 words. My pictures are very good, and although I'm no Brad Pitt look-alike, I'm better looking than most at my middle age, and get my fair share of looks from the ladies. However, like another person posted here, I put out like 50 unique messages to women and I might get 1 or 2 message replies. It's ridiculous! I get WAY more interaction from women by doing it the traditional way (bars, clubs, social events, etc...) than this crap. I'm a bit ashamed and embarrassed that I even tried this. Again, I'm not sure if it's the site or the women on there, but I think it's a bit of both.

Expensive- Why do I need to sign up for 6 months? Or a year? It should be based on month to month. Flat rate. So many fake profiles, The same person lives in 20 different cities. How is this possible? No background checks. Never a single response. You receive matches everyday, some of which have nothing in common with you. Matches from other countries, And of course, they want to see you. Zero customer service. They don't want to hear from you, they won't acknowledge your complaint. This is the perfect. Most sites are completely the same. Very dishonest.

I recently posted a statement on Match.com pissed. I was not happy with the website and did not understand how it worked. I was under the impression that Match was blocking everyone I was messaging. I was wrong and I truly apologize for my impatience. I want everyone to know that I have met the most incredible man that any woman would love to meet. Just thinking about him makes my heart smile. I never would have thought that you could find such an amazing person on a website. I should have joined years ago. Instead I wasted so much time dating frogs. I encourage all of you lonely hearts out there who are looking for love to join Match.com, and you will find a love that you thought never would exist. Everyone wants to experience GOOD love... Join Match.com, love is waiting.

First, my account was blocked 2 days into using the site. When I emailed them they said it was a password issue even though I didn't change my password. There are two people who messaged me, one not a match at all and the other I may be interested in but this is no different then a free dating site. Less then a day of having re-entry into my account I got blocked again and had to email them all over. This is very frustrating and I do not have the time. I'm glad I signed up for the gift card as at least I don't have to worry about unnecessary charges or having spent 120 dollars on nothing! I hope they get sued so I can get my 30 dollars back.

There's a lot of old abandoned profiles on here and I can see why. According to the terms you are giving your photos and stats to the administrators network holdings. This site is costly if you decide to have a paid membership and they'll take you to the cleaners if you want the deluxe. I had some matches but unfortunately some were several states away. There are a number of fake profiles which try to entice you to pay more money. You get a lot of computer generated messages. There is an aggressive recurring charge policy and it's hard to disenroll from this site. Customer service email never gets answered and you get canned language from their outsourced help department. Use a prepaid card under an assumed name so you won't get ripped off.

I will give Match 4 stars solely based on the love of my life having discovered me on Match. Two months ago, my girlfriend and I entered into a committed relationship and decided to cancel both of our accounts. As much as this mechanical feelingless machine chose to bring us together, its irresponsibility and insensitivity has now threatened to destroy our newly formed relationship.

It's very hard to find a real match there, they don't care about your search criteria, they don't let you narrow down your search or make changes to your profile. They don't have as many hot ladies as J4Love.net and some other sites, but I hoped that it would at least have one advantage, being helpful in finding a lady in my area. But it didn't work out, all my "matches" were found hundreds and thousands miles away from me, and they weren't pretty or interesting at all, so the whole idea failed in implementation. I went back to the site I had been using and I'm totally content with it now after I had a chance to compare it to Match.

Besides the fact that there is no real compatibility test for the users Match suggests, every time someone messages you in the app (paid version), you get an email. Despite unsubscribing, calling, and sending customer complaints, I finally created a filter to trash "Talkmatch" emails which are apparently literally impossible to unsubscribe from. I paid $160 for 6 months of a service, not to get spammed every day. Like IDK who they think their subscribers are, but do a focus group around who the hell likes to receive 90 msgs a day in their inbox, because the answer is literally no one. E-Harmony at least has real compatibility tests, or you could just use Tinder because at least you can unsubscribe from a freaking email. It is not 2002.

Match.com is an incompetent dating website. I had just registered, but immediately began to have problems. I was locked out of my account, and no reason was given. The website generated an automated response informing me to contact the company to get a new, temporary password. I did so, about a dozen times over the course of a few weeks. The website never responded to me, and never supplied a new password. No explanation for these things were ever provided.

I have met someone on Match.com who introduced himself as an attorney/businessman. After his attitude started to change I wanted to run a background check (2 months after we met) that I learned he was on probation by multiple fake IDs check fraud driving with a fake ID. After he learned I ran a background check he literally lost his mind. I suggest Match recommend or make background checks official. It has been the worst experience of my life. No thank you to match.com.

One feature I did not care for at ALL was not having the ability to remove "likes" from your list. In order to initiate contact with someone, you have to add them to your "likes" list. There were a few people that did not reply so I wanted to remove them from my list...but had no way to do so. According to a rep from Match's online chat help, at present (3.10.2020) the only way to remove them is to use the "block" feature. Fine if the person is truly not interested in you, but what if for some reason, they were not able to answer and then try later but can't because you blocked them? I get it: dating is a crapshoot. But for the amount Match.com charges, I expected a much better experience than this. I do NOT recommend.

For me the experience is very disappointing in general. They don’t allow you to be specific in your search so it’s overwhelming and discouraging to see the majority, by far, of people you’re just not interested in. I think the experience could make being single much worse for you if you’re actively seeking a relationship. There’s something so inauthentic about the whole online dating idea anyway that really I think most people don’t take the whole thing very seriously. It’s a very impersonal experience. I won’t be renewing. I hate to even look at the people who respond, the majority of which clearly didn’t read your profile. Waste of time.

Signed up and paid much more than I normally would have expected for their minimum 3 months. I used this site about 8 years ago and liked the way it worked. Now I can't do the searching I used to do and it looks like it is very controlled, like they do the picking. At least that was my experience after the first hour. THEN AFTER I PUT THE APP ON MY PHONE MY ACCOUNT WAS BLOCKED. 24 hours and three emails to their customer service and absolutely nothing from them. How can a company operate like this? Then I Google to see if this has happened to anyone else and all I am reading about is how awful they are to everyone else. What a nightmare. Why is this company still operating like this? What happened to consumer rights? No wonder all these other companies have entered the space.

I used Match.com for a few months and decided not to continue. I canceled my subscription in full a week before my cancellation ended. Yet, my credit card was still charged the following week. I even had an emailed cancellation receipt. I reached out to Match and their customer service was rude and unhelpful. Unbelievable. Warning: Even if you cancel in advance, receive an email receipt, and have no further subscription on the account they will continue to charge you. Very deceptive and dishonest practices.

This is a disgusting site based on fake profiles. I'm surprised that they are still in business. Do yourself a favor. Save your time and money and run away. You have a better chance to win the lotto then get results in here. They will give you a 30% discount to sign up for a second month like they will do miracles LOL. My brother calls online dating leftovers. This site doesn't even have leftovers.

I am a fairly laid-back person, but have to use "Disgusting" to describe this dating site's business practice, its customer service, and its abuse of its power as an online dating platform. I paid for a half-year membership but soon realize it was not worth the money, and requested to cancel it within 3 days, which follows the refund policy posted on its website. However, the company refused to refund me, giving no reason – the ONLY company in this country DO NOT follow its own refund policy!

I paid 17.99 in January; which was a discount offer because I was declining their price. When they offered me this "price" I took it. I was told it was a one time deal and before the last day, I understood and unsubscribed then took my profile down and deactivated my account. Someone I met online (not in person) said when they tried to pull me up all traces of me were gone. So apparently they kept my credit card info and put my information back up. Then they tried to bill my credit card again but there was no money.

Like others on here, I have same complaint. Paid for a 6 month membership, only to get wildly inappropriate matches, most of which the men looked like they were incarcerated. MATCH completely ignores your "Must haves" -- like education, body type, race, etc. Example: I checked "must have" for college degree/masters and continually got high school/some college. Even after "x-ing" their matches, the same men would be recycled back through days later. And you CAN NOT DO YOUR OWN SEARCH -- they feed you their daily allotment of mis-matches then shut you off till next day. And site freeloaders == they abound.

Lots of fake and/or extremely old profiles that were no longer in use. The amount of other true users were few. Also, if you message someone who isn't a paying member, they can't write back! That was probably the worst part of all. To make things worse they allow people to post themselves in any category they want whether it's applicable or not. A ** woman posted as a ** woman? Match says that's OK. An Asian man posted as a ** woman? Yeah, you guessed it...Match is A-OK with that too! Why even bother with categories at all then? I was also locked out of my account and after a week they FINALLY told me they were NOT going to explain why and to review their Terms of Service. Really? It's so vague literally anything could be in violation. This utterly unacceptable and downright rude. Forcing people to pay $100 for a minimum of three months to find out in less than a single month the site sucks is theft!

I see others that have logged the same complaint. Number one. Match.com does not inform you that they intend to charge your credit card for a renewal. Regardless, ever since I disputed they're doing so and tried to cancel due to their response it was declined. I had no choice in the matter and continued supposedly with the subscription being told that I would have access to everything until April 2020. However, chronically and repeatedly they have blocked me from the web page after they took my funds, closed out my account and deny me access. I don't understand how they can get away with this as they have obviously done this to others as well. This webpage is a sham and their practices are deceitful.

After the first waste of time and money, I said never again! I'm an attractive 55 year old female and due to the nature of my job, don't get out to meet anyone. I (thought) I deleted all photos and summaries, etc. the first time I cancelled but amazingly when I joined the 2nd time, everything was still there! Red flag #1. Notice the dot next to the name. Green supposedly means they're on and active, yellow is within some hours, no dot is either cancelled and or who knows how old the profile is. Successful, attractive, good profile. Wondering WHY I get zero back and messages to the VERY FEW that are even remotely "okay". I noticed no dots to any I've "liked." Majority of "Recommended" (which ew. Really??!!) look like homeless bottom feeders. Between the first waste of time and money and the "maybe it's changed" second time, I'm out about $230. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! Maybe it's entirely different if you're 30 or younger???

Out of nowhere, they told me that my account was terminated, and they would not give me a specific reason as to why this occurred. They owe me an explanation as to why my account was abruptly terminated.

I just posted about the refusal by Match.com to refund the remainder of the year I paid for after cancelling. After I informed them I was going to make a complaint to Consumer Affairs they just refunded my money. Thank you Consumer Affairs!

On January 1, 2020, I paid $59.99 for a special premier 3-month membership. I found 2 additional charges on my credit card statement for crazy amounts that I DID NOT authorize! I canceled my account immediately. I received confirmation that it was canceled. Nut I could enjoy using my benefits through April 4, 2020. Well guess what? Today, Jan. 20, 2020, I tried to log in and match BLOCKED me! They DID NOT honor their agreement t or my PAID 3-Month membership!! I didn't even receive ONE month and it cost me $59.99. MATCH.COM are lying, cheating scammers!!! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION!!!! THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU!!!

Paid way too much for 1 year membership then they wanted me to pay more just for females to message me. I would rather save the money. No response sent. Prob 600 messages consisting of, "hey how are you, so if you had a unlimited budget where would you go in the world." Nothing degrading and still no responses.

I find it hilarious that for 2 months I got a response from 1 person and got a few likes, I decide not to renew my subscription and in a week, I got 5 new messages and and a wack of likes, so I bite of course, and I responded to all 5 messages. 4 got back to me and the most mind boggling thing is of those 4 2 of them responded back with the EXACT same message as the other and the other 2 didn't respond back. It's a joke site filled with bots and it is pointless to contact any one because if they don't pay you can't contact them unless you pay even more to add that feature and allow whoever you contact to write you.

In late 2018, I gave my brother my credit card information so he could sign up for Match while he was going through marital problems. He signed up for one quarter and paid approximately $75. He cancelled once, then resigned a couple months later. When he did re-sign, it was with his credit card. Yet Match charged my account. I called them, sent them the proof of cancellation (my brother saved the screen of him cancelling). They never responded. A couple months later, I was billed yet again. Once again, calling them did nothing. I am only now reviewing them because they have inexplicably charged my account this weekend, 6 months after my last unauthorized charge. To say this company is shady is an understatement. Their customer service is horrendous and they refuse to admit any wrongdoing. I will be suing them very soon. Details will be given later.

Some to be fishing for something other than dating. I have been on here a month and not much luck yet most are too far away or much younger or much older than I requested. I wonder if they are using their real photos and if they are truthful.

100% waste of time. Expensive as well. You can pay them, you can write 50 people and those 50 people may not even have a subscription to even see their inbox, let alone write you back. Do you want to pay extra so anyone you write can respond? Go ahead. Those people who don't have subscriptions still won't see your message because they know they don't have a subscription so they don't check it regardless, just as I didn't when I didn't have a paid subscription. Want to pay even more to see if people read your messages? Go ahead. I did. Cost me nearly $80 for the month I was subscribed to waste my time and write nearly 40 unique messages to women in the area. I think of the 40, only two were even read. I believe this site is a major scam to get your money and that is it.

After I paid and became a subscribed member, the search and filter feature stopped working so I could not see the profile in my region. I tried many ways to contact them (email and phone), but I'm afraid no one responded. Profiles are from years ago and not active anymore. Don't waste your money!

Please do yourself a favor and save your time and money. Match.com is full of old profiles of former members who haven't been active on the site in years. You may see a lot of search results, but you will also probably see that most of them are ancient. Match.com keeps the profiles up on their website after members cancel their subscription so it looks like you have hundreds of potential matches! Not true! Also, if you are currently a paid member and cancel your membership, make sure Match.com stops debiting your checking account or charging your credit card. They will "accidentally forget" to remove the draft/charge from their system.

I signed up for 3 months. Within a few days I made contact with a "lady" who said she was from Vancouver Wa. Allowed the conversation to progress; eventually she informed me that she was actually not in The US at the moment but in THe UAE as a nurse. I looked up her name and found only one person with that name, located in Uganda. From the sentence structure I could eventually tell English was not her native language. Then after awhile came the request for money. A lost check at the store ! etc/etc. I immediately terminated the contact erased all correspondence and informed Match.com. They never responded.

I sent a lot of emails during the 6-month period. I paid for the feature to see if they read my email. Most didn't read it. But then a woman is unable to read any emails unless she is a paid member. Match.com doesn't let you know who has a paid membership. I did correspond with several women who had a paid membership. Both were overwhelmed with the number of emails they are receiving. Although both were willing to write emails back and forth; none wanted to meet. In my opinion, Match.com was a very frustrating experience. You have no idea if the profile is out-dated, real or not, or if it's a paid subscription. And if you by chance are able to correspond with a woman she may not be willing to meet.

On friday,12-20-2019 I purchased a premium membership from Match.com. Part of my purchased service was unlimited messages and free return messages from my interest. I felt free to contact anyone on the site. Within 4 hours I couldn't log back into the site. I received an email that because of violations my account was deleted. Three months of charges were still added to my credit card. I feel totally scammed. I read the sites reviews, which I should have done first, and it's an ongoing recurrence.... Signed,.. Single.

After I had joined Match my membership was compromised. The day after Thanksgiving after not being off it for two days, I logged on and was met by a 160 views and 60 messages. I had never received attention like that before. The most I had ever received were 6 views and 3 messages. I opened a few and soon realized they had not been contacted by me but someone who told them I had met my match but I had a friend named Robert who was looking. He gave out a Gmail address and asked them to go off site to meet him. It was very upsetting. He even blocked the women I had been contacting.

Did you know Match does not delete your photo once you cancel your account? What this means is that your profile and photos remain on their site for YEARS! There have been several class action law-suits brought against Match for this but Match has been successful at winning because the consumer has agreed to this in the small print of their user agreement. So basically, as a subscriber you could be writing to someone who is not active and this person will never see your messages. For all we know, this person may be married with six kids for the last five years. The info about the lawsuits is all over the internet, just google it. Aside from this, there are bots or fake people all over the site. How can they think it's okay to waste our time? Fortunately there is big competition for match now and that makes me so happy. Try Bumble, I have been very happy with them and it's free.

It’s not worth a six month commitment! So what if you don’t find a match in six months and you’ll get six months for free. It’s a dead end street with dead end matches. Match does not pay attention to my “checklist”. I’ve been paired with men of which had none of the qualities I was looking for. I spent my precious time checking off my interests and the interests of a future date/partner. Horrible! I’ve made out better on non paying sites like Bumble. Don’t waste your money or time. I feel taken advantage of at this point. Match is busy taking your money and not monitoring really matching you up properly.

Within a week of subscribing, I was unsatisfied with the service. I contacted Match to request a refund for the 5 remaining months left on my subscription and was denied. They continued to send me profiles that I had already passed over with an, “X” as they were not a match for me. I also noticed multiple profiles that appeared to be fake. After another two weeks of not receiving any more matches in the discovery box, I made another attempt to request a refund and was again denied. Don’t waste your money, more importantly, don’t waste your time! Match.com is a joke! They’re only out to get your money and couldn’t care less about you finding your true love. Never again!

I signed up for what I thought was a 6 month subscription but found out it was only for 3 months. I have never connected with anyone on this app for a date or even online messaging. They want you to pay for guaranteed responses, which I never did. I started getting notifications that ladies liked me. I logged in and the profile was already gone that they claim "liked me". You're better off saving your money and not buying this dating app. I have been trying to cancel my subscription and ask for a refund, every time I try to email it always says message not sent. Trying to get a live person is a joke.

Recently signed up for a Black Friday 50% off special. What I didn't know was that I got a limited, inferior version of their usual membership. I can't choose anything but location, I get maybe 4 or 5 men a day to choose from, I cant search user name among other lesser choices I don't have and when I called Match to ask for a change or refund I was put on hold for over a half hour twice and they never answered. They deceived me into thinking this was like a normal membership. No way to resolve this since there is no way to contact them. Just know this if you're going to sign up that they are not interested in doing the right thing.

Match is a big useless site.When I created the profile with photos then all of a sudden I got 7 quick messages. After taking subscription came to know that all messages are from bots. Don't trust MATCH.

First they sign you up for 6 months at a low price. Then you forget to cancel on time (which they’re counting on) and they charge you over a hundred dollars. There’s no refunds even if you cancel your subscription the next day. It felt like there were a lot of fake profiles created by match.com to keep you interested. It also seems like a lot of weirdos and scammers are on this site. Very sad I wasted my time and money on this.

To start off with, Match uses ladies that are no longer on there to get men to join. Once you join you find that a lot of the women's profiles are either fake or hacked. The women will not reply back to you. I just got off of it. They got me for 145.00. I met one woman and she was a loon. She used 3 alias names and one name she had something going on in court. I talked with one woman and we were doing good, then one day she was gone. Nothing. And on your likes these younger and sometimes older women would like you. Then you would try to delete them cause they were hackers, and in the likes you can X them and they would be gone. But several of those profiles I had didn't have an X and you couldn't delete them. Those are the hackers that is watching what you do and who you are talking to.

I have been a subscribing member of Match.com off and on over the last ten years. In the very beginning l enjoyed using the site. I got many responses and was able to meet a number of nice ladies. The last few years this has changed. Now I get very few if any responses from ladies and have no prospects for dates or meetings. I have been trying to figure out why this change has happened. The current theory I have is that now I am older and perhaps older women are more cautious about dating. Not only that but they seem not even interested in meeting someone new. I think these older women are less open and more selective on responding to message communications. It is very disappointing to say the least.

Match has started to send me fake "Likes" and other notices which if I reply to ,does not even show up in my box. How can you feel safe if the dating company has fraudulent accounts and messages? Not only am I cancelling my account, I am filing a complaint.

Well... interesting experience to say the least. When you sign up you are almost instantly bombarded with likes, comments, and messages. Then if that wasn't enough to keep you busy, you get what's call a free boost. For one hour you get bumped to the top of the search list. I was already overwhelmed with the response to my initial profile post, which was ridiculously brief, but the boost brought in another 11 views and several more messages. Ha, I thought, what a great online dating site this is.

This is a scam site, they start sending you messages with people liking you and messaging you after the subscription is ended, to renew the subscription. Total scam!!! Don’t sign it please.. I have been on this site for 4-6 years and still single, they have created fake profiles and send messages from fake profile when the subscription is going to end or already ended, so that the user will tempt to renew it.

At first, I was impressed by the number of “matches.” When I rarely received responses to my messages, I checked how many of my responses had actually been read. Most of the time, they had only been delivered. What appears to be the case is that Match posts pictures and profiles of inactive or cancelled accounts. Indeed, the latter seemed to make up the majority of their daily “matches.” Save your time and your money. In my opinion, Match.com should be sued for unethical business practices.

I thought my experience was good until I started signing up for free trials (after the end of a 6- month plan). I would cancel the free trials on time to avoid being charged, since I just can't afford paying for the service. Anyway, my last free trial had all these new promotions that will pop out, and the way Match did it, I was not even aware that I had being charged for a 6-month plan. I called their representative, and she said that a few people have been calling with the same concern. She was only able to cancel the remaining 5 months; Match has no refunds, which is very concerning.

Three out of four e-mails I send to woman on Match are delivered but never read. The reason for this is because they are not paying members and can't read e-mails. Yet Match is always sending them to me as Matches (they are the very few that fit my criteria). Every day they send me 20 matches and yet almost none of them fit the criteria I asked for (and I don't seem to fit their criteria). As a premium member I get a boost every month, that puts me in near the top of others search for one hour. They never worked, they always immediately say "you have no views and give a time like 1:15 to 1:15." The boost is never for an hour, it's not even for a minute!! Times I wrote them about this. Their answer "We tried your boost and it works" even though I send them the e-mail that says your boost was from 1:15 to 1:15 you had no views but try again. Everything about that company seems phony.

I was online searching and then all of the sudden was kicked out with this message; There is a problem with your account. Please contact customer care at 1-800-92-MATCH. The mail is both inbox and outbox, a convoluted mess.

Match.com Is a fraud! They steal your money and put fake profiles in your email to make you think women want you but it’s all a lead to nothing! They make icky people think fake beautiful women want them in order to keep them paying for their lying website.

They can keep your content a year and they tell us that. They just play it up that they keep content in case you want to rejoin within that year you won’t have to redo your profile, that’s all bull. So attractive people who are no longer there still have a bio up. It’s used constantly like 3 times every day. They just happen to spend their entire day on the site going back every 3/4 hours. What’s a hoot. That’s one way to see it’s fake especially when the bio has been doing this every day for months and months, 6 months. If you call them out on this by writing the bio you get no response. It’s awful how they do this. I’m leaving the site but before I go I’m changing everything on my bio including no pictures so I won’t have this issue. I’ve heard about this before but never really experienced it until I got on the lesbian site which needs fake people because they usually have low numbers and not the most attractive clients. Sorry to say.

I decided to joined Match for 6 months. As a writer I do research so I decided to look for a serious relationship and research Match for fun. I saw the reviews were not the best but I decided what the heck I will give it a try. What I found in my many, conversations I had with men via emails or by cell or texting that there is a lot going on and off the dating site. It turns out that a lot of the men in my case were NOT looking for a serious relationships on Match, they wanted “hook-ups” or looking for a “friend” or “naked pictures” from woman or were married. I also spoke to several men who told me they were sending a lot of messages to women, with no reply. Also there are a lot of scammers trying to romance scam you out of your money. So for those of you who were SCAMMED that is not Match.com fault, It is your fault for sending money to strangers online! This is what I found in my research:

This online dating site has really changed!! I met my fiancé on Match.com in 2005. I find this site to be a total waste of time and money in 2019. Most matches that are sent to me are at least two hours from where I live. I get messages that someone has "liked me." I reply to every "like" that I get and no one ever messages me back. I have been receiving messages from one person but he is an hour and a half away from where I live. Awfully far away to try and meet someone for a date. I honestly think this site sends out fake "likes" to try to keep people paying to be on here. I do not think that it is fair either that you cannot quit early if it is not working for you and get your money back.

I renewed before my membership cancelled at a reduced rate but when I went on I had been cancelled. Now to get back on I have to re-subscribe at the much (double the reduced rate) higher rate. What is going on with this site?? This is a scam in my opinion!

I am new to the area that I live and trying to find people around me. Even though I continually try to make my range settings smaller and smaller it doesn't change a thing. I still get people from hours away. Also, unless you pay for premium services they don't show everyone in your area. Very disappointed.

I am a Male and I understand that locations differ however my experience has been about 50/50 between 2 geographical locations so far on the Match dating site. I do not sleep around so I definitely don't look for 1 nighter types (I've heard the stories). I've spoken with a woman on Match who also has friends that try to date on Match as well and I just want to say to the guys; stop with the trashy "** pics" and have some Discipline and Class because it's not attractive and this isn't POF.

If you want to go to Walmart in the Twinkie section you will find better mates than at Match.com. Avoid this STD factory. You will not come away unscathed and unscarred. It attracts the lowest scum of society.

As most all dating apps, they all suck, however this is an expensive suck. Even above what you pay monthly, to get all the benefits, you have to pay a la carte, so it gets really pricey. The app tends to freeze a good bit. It will go for weeks with no messages, then all of a sudden, they show up at once. Though I paid for 3 months, I cancelled my membership after one month. If you're going to sign up for a dating site, join the free ones. MATCH IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

Be very leery of Match.com. First of all they send matches randomly not based on your requirements at all and second of all I recently rejoined for 3 months due to a special (normally their prices are totally unreasonable) and for no reason and with no warning they cancelled me. I sent a note about issue signing in and find out I was cancelled with no reason. When I questioned that, they tell me (verbatim) "Due to our privacy practices, we cannot disclose specifics about any Match account, including your own." Are you kidding me? So I have no recourse, no way to say they screwed up, just I have been removed. So unprofessional. There are so many other personal sites that don't require a membership like Cupid. I am just so disappointed in their unprofessionalism.

Match just started stopping me from logging in by diverting me to a page encouraging me to accept a dating coach...which I don't need...and another page I don't need. Stop this nonsense, Match! Not sure if there is an increased cost, but I can't get to my matches right now!

Asked for 50 mile radius and my profile was shared to all of North America and to men far outside my preferences. Match failed to actively push my profile to quality men locally but aggressively shared my profile ongoing to men far outside my preferences. Match denied this but I contacted the men 1500+ miles away and was told my profile was pushed to their feed. I learned my 50 mile limit was missing off my account and which Match denied however, a good friend had an identical experience. I did not feel like a client but instead used as bait. Blocking does not mean the inappropriate or stalker type men are blocked from seeing my profile. It means I will no longer see they are visiting my profile or able to view their messages. Frightening!

I was matched with a fake profile by the name of Cody. He stated that he is from LA but is working in Africa for a business trip. We communicated for about four weeks before he asked me for $7000 to cover some work related tasks. He was not able to do a video chat with me, that’s why when I started to suspect that he was a scammer artist. Warning to other users and a Match.com website, if anyone ask you for money. Don’t do it!

Although I did not wind up in a relationship as a result of using Match.com, nevertheless it was not due to any shortcomings associated with the site or its respectable cross-section of potential matches.

The site contained few individuals in my age group or geographical district. You have to pay for 3 months membership before seeing any possible matching profiles. Despite repeated requests to discontinue my membership I continued to receive suggested possible matches.

Really found there was no control over who set up a profile. I had numerous people contact me that I suspected were cat fishers. Definitely was contacted and groomed by at least two who were shocked I wouldn’t give them money after 3 weeks of contact.

People always buffer the look and style of themselves and they are not whom they seem to be so it become a misunderstanding and a bad situations for people to have to deal with and they don't care about other people.

I met My significant other on this site. I Also met many other very fine nice gentlemen on this site. I tried other sites, but the quality of the people on this site really stand out. I highly recommend this site. The free sites do not compare to match!

The site sends you FAKE interests and contacts information, i.e. it will tell you someone is interested or has sent you a message, but when you go to read it there is nothing, when you search the name of the alleged messenger, no one by that user name, and personal parameters (age, Gender, Color, location, etc.) come up. Most people are computer generated just to get you to buy their plan. It preys on the lonely and desperate who genuinely want to find a relationship. You're better off going to public gathering place to find a match.

Interesting site, new options and I like the matching process as it elements people that are not going to be suitable and takes a lot of guesswork out of dating. It even takes away location problems or the question of children or not. I really enjoy the site.

I had no problems with Match.com. That is where I found my husband that I am married to now. He was never dishonest with me and he was who he said he was. I never had problems with privacy issues or anything. It was a great website and I am glad I used it.

Well majority of the girls on the side were scammers from Africa and other locations. All they wanted was money telling you a sad story. It just was a joke. It's not just this one. They were all similar ripoffs

I’m 26 and my mom has been pushing me to date so I signed up for Match.com, this website is a joke! I have a age range of 26-30 set on my profile and I’m always getting messages from 50-60 year olds even though they say ‘your age range controls who sees you’. This is BS! I have had this for 1 month and only get matched with old men! Luckily I have the 3 month plan for a low payment of $136! There is hardly any one in the age range of 25-31(after resetting it) like advertised in commercials, news, magazines, and websites. I get more matches on Tinder! Match was labeled a scam according to the news and dating experts in 2019! It’s a HUGE scam. It’s also expensive af!

The matches were very good. It is extremely hard to find good singles in South Florida. I never viewed any of my matches as a bad match or a waste of time. Each date was a good experience for me and taught me more about want I really needed in a partner each time. I would recommend Match.com to anyone. Bottom line, I am now married to my last match.com match!

Not highly satisfied with my experience, most of the guys I met not really interested in a friendship or a relationship. After meeting and one more date it came out to be they wanted sex, or their requirements were unbelievable, also a good number of them turned out to be in a relationship or married.

I did have quite a few coffee and or lunch dates. I tried Match.com as a trial 3 month subscription and met my match three days prior to the expiration of my account. I was not planning on renewing the subscription if I hadn't of met my significant other.
