I would rate zero stars. I've been a member for nearly 16 months and met only 3 women. They were nice and seemed to be what they had represented in their profiles, but no sparks flew and there were no second meetings. The counter for the number of people who have viewed my profile is now over 1,300. I'll estimate I've sent out 750 emails, probably more, all of them customized. In return, I've received maybe 20 or 30 of the automated "thanks but no thanks" replies, and received perhaps 15 or 20 actual replies, all of which ultimately fizzled out for one reason or another. I'm a professional person, 46, and fit ~ perhaps not Cary Grant, but hardly Ernest Borgnine. I've been on the receiving end of a few scam attempts, but typically these scammers have such a terrible command of the English language and do such a terrible job of imitating women that they are easy to spot and block out. So, the whole thing is puzzling and frustrating. Even worse, it can consume an enormous amount time. After 16 months, I feel comfortable saying that the probability (for me) of finding a significant other through Match.com is very, very small. It may be analogous to the lottery, where the odds are worse than a million to one, but you can't win if you don't play. So, I think success is highly improbable/remotely possible. The cost ($16.99 per mo. for 6 months) doesn't quite reach my pain threshold, so I'll keep at it for a while. Will it work for you? I have no idea.
