I am a member for almost 2 weeks. I have found that there is no IM unless you pay extra for it. over and above the original cost to join. I thought that IM came with the package.. Wrong!..
They (Match.com) displays "on line" under photo, but the recipient of the email doesnt email you back, so. I wonder if they are active members or not. I didnt understand the I am on line, vs Email me.. until I read the small print. I got one email from a guy, who made a date with me and cancelled it on the day of the date, which wast the next day, guess something better came along. I am not happy with the responses I get, I dont want to date a pervert so I stay away from any profile that mentions sexuality in an overt way.. so that limits my pickings.. they are slim to say the least. I wont re-up with Match.cin.
