When you try to respond to your clients, you receive a message they have discontinued the service. What do I do to get refunded. This makes no sense, I was talking with a young lady and your service discontinued the communication, that she had discontinued your service. Unbelievable dating site!

Your site saying this person is a great prospect for a date in Ohio or New York and many other places very far away from Oregon! To me is stupid!!! I am not wanting to waste my time sorting out men from across the country!!! It is going to be a long frustrating 6 months dealing with this site!!! Very unhappy and I have only been on this site for a week! Hope it isn't all this stupid!

I cancelled and am waiting for a conformation that my account has been removed. Please stop sending me messages from First Met as I am not interested. Why is it so hard to get you to understand and delete my account and my profile from this site.

Actually, I've had fun on this site. I believe if you're open and honest you will get people that want to talk to you or avoid you like the Plague. At least you get like Minded responses. I realize there are Folks on here that are Charlatans but that's to be expected anywhere. I've been with two ladies from your site in person and found them to be Super.. If you're Trying to be Married next week then say so, If you just want a Good Pal to shop, lunch, go to the movies with etc. say so.. Most of it has to do with you and what you really want..

I was not a fan of the site, I was continually seeing the same members I had skipped and wasn't able to view the members that did message (small profile window in messaging). Inadvertently set up an ice breaker which led to about 50+ message responses. Too much to deal with and thread through. Wasn't for me.

I'm wondering why, when I've clearly stated I live on the central coast of CA, I keep getting messages from everywhere except near where I am? TX, NY, MN, MA, IA, AZ, etc?? Also, as I will be turning 70 tomorrow, I'm honestly not interested in getting to know men in their 50's. Surely you can do a better job geographically of "matching" people???

I don’t want to receive messages that were really not intended for me. The matches are not even close to my requirements. I request a distance radius of 25-50 miles and I get matches all over the U.S. I ask for an age range of 65-75 and get matches from 30 yr old and 80 year old. I ask for men only and I get women matches. Just don’t think it is very user friendly. Wish it was.

FirstMet has a different approach, nothing wrong with that. But it is too generalized so it is hard to find a connection to someone in agriculture or has an ag background. Nor are there very many if any from my area (state). So I will be canceling. Just wanted to give your site a try. Thank you.

Some of your Icebreaker questions are stupid. This means the person doesn't have to think. It's a different site than I'm used to. Most of these people from somewhere not close to me have no intention of meeting anybody, so why are they on there? I think some of the questions are made by young people. Like what do you do on your day off? What if you're retired or not working?

I have unfortunately found 2 scammers on here. But since it ain't my first trip to town, I caught on very fast. LOL you can start with the photos that says, "Text me," with the number on the pic. Then when you do text them they send you nude photos of themselves. I don't have a problem with nudity, but the woman should at least look like their profile pic. And when the photos they do send most of them are well known porn stars. Also if you use google chrome if you right mouse the photo you can let google scan for their photo on the net. If they have ever posted that 1 pic on the net anywhere google will find it and give you the name of the woman who posted it. When you confront them and they know they have been busted, they stop talking and delete their first met account.
I have only reported 1 of them, and I don't know if they or first met removed their account. Other than that I have several wonderful people on here and carry on private and public conversations. 1 more thing I wish you had a chat room because trying to carry on a conversation is kind of difficult as it is now. It's much easier to talk on the phone. Thank for the decent website.

There are many people to choose from but the pictures are small and there is little information in the descriptions. So, I would consider this a soap site. I would not recommend this site. I will continue to use it only because I paid for it. I would recommend match.com.
Diana, thank you for leaving this review. We always appreciate it when our customers provide feedback.

Please do not re-bill my credit card when my time period is up in 6 months. I don't feel like you ask for complete profile for people on this site. Our time band Christian Mingle have a much more complete profile request. (such as divorced,widow etc, pets, interests., what they are looking for such a friendship, marriage etc. Are they a christian etc?) Also, you are sending me matches clear across the country when I asked for no more than 500 miles. It's a waste of my time to view people in Florida when I live in Nevada. Please provide me with a person to contact and phone number at your corp. office. Thanks.

Your site too hard to navigate. Always got matches from out of state or too far away. Would not recommend to anyone. it would be to your interest to redesign the site to make it easy to follow. Get people off the street to be on the redesign team. That way you won't wind up with another piece of crap.

The site is not bad. Plenty of what I was looking for, a few bad apples like any other site, but when it comes to charging $74 and some change for six months, that's all I need to find what I was looking for... One week after signing up I tried to cancel automatic renewal but could not find a way, I tried sending emails, no answer, several times, no options for cancellation was ever given. I tried PayPal. They could not help, so I waited to see if when renewal came up I could stop payment...but when PayPal made payment it was too late. They said I need to cancel with some time in advance, this is a ripoff scam. BS. Dumb crooks! I'm not the only one they have screwed, I see many more in reviews.
Benito, thank you for praising our services! As we explained on your "Premium Account" page (under Profile), we ask that our users cancel at least 48 hours before their renewal date, as automatic renewals may begin processing that early.

To be honest, this site is a shambles. I lost good friend because I found pictures of his wife on here. She claims they were put on maliciously by someone with a grudge BUT HER HUSBAND THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH HER... How can this happen. There is much too much meddling by the site in sending out icebreakers on behalf of members who don't want icebreakers sending, which leads to false hopes and often rebuke. The like button is used far too much by admin when you just look at someone or even sending a message... Just because you send a message it doesn't automatically mean you like someone. Too much "matching" and liking.
So many "old memberships" on here who don't actually come on the site anymore, you haven't a clue who is and who isn't active... Would be far better to have a timeline button showing prospective suitors just how long ago a person was actually active or whether they are even still a member. Too many words obliterated in messages by asterisks. No other filters on one's profile other than age and this isn't adhered to when people are allowed to view you and send icebreakers when well over the age you wish to contact. And finally there are too many young girls on here UNDER THE AGE OF CONSENT. I have made 2 complaints about this matter, and not a single person from admin has ever had the courtesy to get back to me on this matter of underage girls... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, and I am glad my membership runs out in October. I will not return to this shambles of a site. Total waste of money and time.
