Reviews of Match.com

We'll, sorry to be bust up the pity party, but my experience has been 5 stars. I've talked to quite a few decent looking women on the phone, met other ones, and am currently talking to 4 others. This has all been in a month, so I saw no need to renew my subscription.

I can't speak for others who are complaining however I have this: It seems like the complainers aren't as great as they think they are if they can't meet people because I met a ton in just a month's time. Maybe you aren't attractive, don't have enough pics up?

I just signed up last week, I am 47, going thru a divorce, after 17 years and thought I would give it a try

Unfortunately, most of my responses are 65+ !!! Not at all what I wanted--- they will meet me and bring their oxygen bottle along to the date! lol....

I work hard on my body and looks, have to at 46, and I am more interested in men my age or 10 years younger. The only problem is that men my age want 25 year olds.........

3 guys responded however, two of them were good looking, 35 and 36 and the last one was pretty good looking and was 39. We are emailing back and forth now.... If I work hard to look good, then why cant the 40-50 year old guys do the same?! and they have the nerve to look at younger ones.... I hope the younger guys I am corresponding with dont chicken out, ......I asked them all if they wanted to meet for a drink or a run, or anything fun,...so I will see if they answer.

But this is a dilemma, what should one do?

I'm going 2 stars here. I've met 4 people in person and am talking to a few others on the phone who I will be meeting in person.

On the negative side, it sure seems like I have been blackballed. This woman sent me a really b!tchy e-mail, and ever since I responded to defend myself, I basically haven't gotten any responses...

BE CAREFUL how you respond to people. If you happen to piss off a fake profile ( a dormant profile an employee took over, or a profile a match sub-contractor created from scratch) they may black ball you!

I was getting 70% responses to e-mails before the incident with this b!tch and am now getting less than 5%.....

So Gordon Handy "Wouldn't describe [me] as hot (hun)"...but neglected to send his own username... This is beyond priceless! :D

Lol, I'm running out of email addresses to continue this conversation! He did leave some VERY HELPFUL advice for me: to put up more pictures! Mainstream ones actually! Like, you know, dancing or skydiving or laughing at something uproarious! ^_^ Why exactly?

As someone who wakes up every morning and feels beautiful and walks down Lex Ave to work with at least two guys trying to get my attention (I've actually been stopped by one) everyday
(must be my killer figure lol), I couldn't care less about what Monsieur Handy has to say. I'm going to assume he's short (5' 9" at the most)...gray or graying hair (once brown probably), okay teeth but a weak chin...blue, maybe brown eyes...big smile (most definitely) but they make his eyes small when he does...Dwight Schrute voice...ahh I could go on and on... All in all, one of those people I'm trying to filter out of my inbox lol...

I do want to see what he looks like though, hehe! So please, do us all a favor and show off your devilishly handsome looks! Can't wait, hun! :)

And look, my rating went up! I've been sufficiently amused lol ^_^

Sent, Gordon! I look forward to seeing just how amazingly perfect you are! Lmao! This is such a joke! ^_^

More crap about match.com:

Today I changed my email settings to exclude anyone outside of my age bracket and about 2 minutes later I get emails from two D.O.M's (Desperate Old Men) and then a wink from someone twice my age. SERIOUSLY?? I guess assuming that the email filter is supposed to work is a bad idea.

Still 1 star...

There are Scammers on here, they set up a profile of a very good looking guy, I winked at one and got an immediate response, omg, he started telling me I was the Soul Mate he'd been searching for, his Goddess and all his friends thought I was so beautiful and how lucky he was,!
Well that raised a red hot flag with me, ok I am attractive but not the Goddess type lol, and he told me he had been searching on Match but there was no one who he got interested in at all until I winked at him, O come on, how gullible does he think women are, ?
And then the sob stories started of how his lovely wife had died in childbirth and left him with a 6 year old girl, !
And of course he is very wealthy and wants to start a life together where he spoils his wife , showers her with affluence, !
He is just coming of an oil rigg in the middle of the Atlantic where he has been since his wife died, just burying himself in grief over her loss, making a lot of money while he is at it!
But is now ready to start a life with the right women!
And of course he is going to England first to see his parents and kid,.and then he is on his way to meet up with me here in the States!

So he gave me a phone number where he could be reached at the oil rigg, when I called the overseas operator it was a code number nowhere near the so called oil rigg, actually it was a London England number,
When I asked him about that he said it was for security reasons it was rerouted to England, anyway it just kept getting stranger and stranger, I knew it was fake but wanted to see where it all was going lead!
Next day I got an e-mail on how he was not able to transfer all his money to an American Bank because he has no Social Security number, seeing he is a British subject, and now he needs to have an American bank account to transfer his billion,...
Does anyone actually fall for that,..... amazing!

All I can say is "thanks Match.com," !
well at least I did not get him in my daily matches, somebody else did however, makes Match useless,..!

I've only been on match since January 2nd and have loved it. I just moved to San Fran. and don't go out to bars much anymore, so thought I would try it out. I have to admit I am good looking and successful and have gotten alot of responses. I guess if I weren't getting responses like apparently many on here (have not), I wouldn't be giving it 5 stars. Some girls will just send an e-mail with their number for God's sake without me even e-mailing them. I also get to choose who I want to e-mail, as opposed to Eharmony, so that works out much better for me. I've had some hook-ups, but would like to find something better, so I have a few calls with some long term type girls scheduled for tomorrow night.

My impression of match is that there are the "have's" and the "have nots." The have nots tend to be the haters who aren't getting quality a$$, and that segment seems to be widely represented on this review site.

Tina from the middle of nowhere,

I'm calling you on your bluff, so yes please provide a usernmane to your profile on match.com so I can see how "hot" you are. My e-mail address is gordon.handy@yahoo.com. I will in turn gladly provide my username in return. Lol, it's so funny how women claim to be so hot and attractive yet complain that they cannot meet anyone on match.com. From here on out, any woman who claims to be hot yet can't meet someone on match.com, should provide their match username to confirm they are indeed attractive. As stated above, talk is cheap, I will in turn gladly furnish (anyone who asks me) my screen name upon a request sent through my e-mail. Let's see how "hot" the female complainers claim to be.

For me, I'm not whining and complaining about match. I'm a very cute guy who had NO problem whatsoever meeting very cute girls on match. I was brand new to a town, don't go out to bars, so I tried this for a month. I don't even need to subscribe another month. I've got another 8 people to call Sunday night. The site is 10,000 times better than Eharmony or any other site in terms of amount of selection, and ease of use in contacting people. Yes, there are attractive men and women on there. If you are having issues meeting quality people, you are probably having issues meeting people in any other venue, so that's a "you" problem and not a match.com issue.

I think it's interesting what's going on on match.com... Strange, but interesting... The men I've met on other sites are all hot... Like really attractive, work out, intelligent, say witty things and have the same interests as me!
And they aren't too old...23 - 27...for a 22 year old fresh out of college. I know I'm hot...I mean it's just one of those things you know or you don't. I don't have one of those...well I guess I could do this or that stories...lol. And I've NEVER had any issues with guys online or offline. I'll even send you a picture, Gordon, if you need to do some male verification lmao!

But the strange part! So today I got my list of matches from match.com (I'm talking to six attractive men right now, so I haven't been back to the site in a while haha). The youngest was 28 on the list I got. I mean I'm not sure what the implication is, but I doubt I'd be interested in someone 11 years my junior, if I was male...unless I was creepy haha! So I wonder what the criteria for matches is on match.com.

Okay so maybe I've gotten emails from people, but I don't have anything in common with these people and three of them were extremely boring. Several were too old!

To Gordon: You say attractive women should have no problems on match.com? What age exactly are these women? Because if they're looking for men age, 30 - 45, they can have mine!

The men aged 23 - 27 on match are significantly less attractive (since this is all based on pictures) than those I'm talking to right now. Why wouldn't I get even a hey back? Because some of these people can't respond! (I'm even acknowledging the possibility that some aren't interested...I mean even plain people can be discriminating lol)

There's a guy I've emailed back and forth a couple of times on okcupid, who hadn't responded on match. He actually initiated the contact on OC and I played along then asked if he used his match.com account and he said, oh no, he hasn't been on in a while after he stopped subscribing... What do you say to that???

It's all shrouded in mystery...the whole paying vs non-paying customer and what exactly they use for compatibility. But I don't care anymore because I'm having fun! And it's been an experience! ^_^

Jennifer from New York,

Thanks for your interest, however I have plenty of women I've met both on-line and through friends who are successful, educated, and not fat with kids with unrealistic expectations. I don't go to bars, I have own in my home, so I'm not sure your "dream scenario" of giving me the time of day is plausible in this lifetime. Sorry you took such offense to my honesty, but tough love; sometimes in life the best advice you can give someone is that which they don't want to hear.

That said, I have no problems meeting women on match. None. I want women on here who claim they are attractive yet are gaining no responses to show me what they look like with their profile screen name. There are 4 times the amount of men on match. There is no plausible way a LEGIT attractive woman doesn't get responses.
