Reviews of Christian Cafe

Well, I think its hype. Been there for many years without success. But there's a site that seems like it might really be able to do something practical for me
www.soulfaithencounters.com
Its more like a matchmaking service. I think its worth trying since dating sites have led me nowhere.

out of the tens, possibly hundreds of men who emailed and instant messaged me, many were talking and acting in unGodly, unChristian, not gentlemen like attitudes and behaviors. some were even arrogant, condescending, rude and abusive. many were looking and seemed desperate for instant "hook ups" and were soliciting the women on the website. many were deleted and banned for not following the rules which i do give positive ratings for the administrators and moderators. i only received emails from possibly three seemingly healthy kind men. many of the men appeared to be very unhealthy and dysfunctional and did not even seem Christian at all in attitude or words. most men on there could not spell, write well and or carry on a decent conversation. it is no surprise to me why so many men on the site are single and probably shall remain so. i would not waste any money or any time on this or any other dating website. read reviews and also read the reviews of major ex CEOs of some of these so called dating sites to get the real truth and statistics. the sites are major rip offs and marketing, sales, and money changers preying on lonely, broken hearted desperate people.

10 Things I Hate About Online Dating

a list of cliche things girls put in their profiles

1. The Interests

Everybody likes music, and art, and traveling, and the outdoors, and sunshine, and having fun. These are not things that give any insight as to who you are as an individual. I wouldn’t even really describe them as interests but more just standard features that come with any human being. It’d be like shopping for a used car and coming across an ad that says “Great vehicle, runs on gasoline, tires are round, has matter and density.” I still don’t know the make, model, year, milage, accident history, horse power etc. If anything I view the vaugness as a trap into buying a lemon.

2. I’m shy but I’m not shy

A lot of girls can’t decide on what they are. “I’m shy but I can also be very outgoing.” “I’m just a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl that loves to get dressed up and go out too.” “I’m a realist but I have a bit of a hopeless romantic side. . .” When filling out your “about me” section you should use a “Which of the following best describes me?” approach. Like an SAT question, choose the letter that best answers the problem, don’t fill in every bubble.

There will always be negative reviews on people you meet ANYWHERE. If you are having problems meeting someone on a site and keep getting "no thank yous", maybe you need to reevaluate your life.

I actually like CC because it pinpoints Christianity to each level. I am very serious about my faith and do not want date or marry someone that veers from my own personal faith and walk in God. (the Bible does say not to be unequally yolked!) No other site does that. I did the free trial and talked to several men online. I eventually started emailing one gentleman that I am currently seriously talking to and "dating" and we will be married in the future. I would not have met him if it wasn't for this careful classification on this site.

I joined ChristianCafe on the free trial and started browsing for my matches. It seems like they have the same people logged in 24x7 on the website.. and there is NOT many of them. I have spoken to some females which were way below my caliber and they all turned out to be psychos! My advice is: not to join this site. I do not think how anyone could pay $34.99 for a monthly membership just to cycle through the same 30 females who are in their 40's+

CC seems to be easy to use and plenty of option and space to fill out your own profile. One of the nicest features is the prayer page BUT BE WARNED the prayers you post are heavily censored and no mention is allowed of Saints, Our Lady or anything the jackbooted censor doesnt like which is an odd perversion on Christianity given the sites great claims.

Lots of scammers use the often given free trials and many of the profiles are obsolete though CC still keeps them up obviously to make it appear busier than it is.

Expensive too given it's lack of real clients and heavy censorship.

I agree with the poster that said the success rate is very low. Actually, it is infintesmal - virtually zero. It is so low, one would be better off searching for a needle in a haystack. Your time would be better spent doing something that tedious and important than totally wasted on Christian Cafe. I have not met one single lady on CC who
is both serious about finding someone to date and has reasonable expectations. Women there expect the guy to be 10 times better looking than they are and have every single one of their other qualities desired, else they shun them. This is not realistic, but nobody has ever told them, I guess.

Another thing is that the ladies on CC.com drill you with questions to find out every detail of your life and then they remember "Oh, I have to go." before mentioning anything about their life. I noticed when IMing ladies on CC they would ignore your questions and press you for answers to theirs. It was like their mission in life was to discover that one thing about you that made you unsuitable for them, and Gaul Darnet they were gonna find it if it took them a hundred years. I met noone there who was looking for a healthy relationship, or even appeared to understand what that is. It was more like ChristianMisfits than ChristianCafe.

I wish I could be more positive but there really isn't anything to be positive about CC unless you really enjoy reading the handwritten prayers of other people. If that's your cup of tea you'll like CCafe. If you are looking for someone that is honest about looking for someone to date then you are totally wasting your time and money at CCafe. It's a dry hole.

In a word, "Christian" Cafe sucks. I tried them as a freebie, met a woman who insisted we IM. Well, she ignored me for TWO HOURS while she yakked on the phone to her sister. That ended it with us. I tried other women but received no responses. When "Christian" Cafe wanted me to pay them, I told them no and why. Well, this thin-skinned bunch couldn't take what they dished out, because they banned me for life. "Christian" Cafe is not "Christian" in any sense of the word, and quite frankly, their members act like a bunch of third grade twats!

I joined this site about 8 months ago, and I have generally been disappointed with my experience. There are some success stories from the site, but for thousands and thousands of members, they are very low. If you are looking for the quintessential Christian, maybe you're dreaming. The owners do seem sincere in their attempts to bring Christian people together. I have been disappointed with the quality of the people there. I have given the experience my very best, and I have gotten very little in return. I'm just as attractive as anyone else and I have a good personality, am physically fit. I've spent over $100 now thinking maybe "don't give up", but I am on my last leg. I have gotten very few responses from other members, even when I have given it my very best to do otherwise. That is the most disappointing thing. The only steady contact I have is with someone at least 20 years older than me and I'm not even interested in. If you are looking to be treated with Christian decency and respect, do not hold your breath. I think my expectations were not unreasonable when I joined. If someone is not interested, I can understand a "we're not a match" or "thank you for your interest" and I would get the point. The bottom line is that even though it seems like the price isn't bad, it's been a complete waste of my money. You will not be treated with a lot of Christian respect, and you will have very little to show for your experience. I wish I could say otherwise, but I cannot. Also, it seems like a bunch of the same old same old. I've seen the same profiles as when I joined. Interestingly enough, I think it speaks about the success if you see the same ones still there. I would not recommend this site to anyone as it stands now.

I was a widow in South Florida when I learned about ChristianCafe.com. I used my free trial time, had several pleasant conversations with other members via email, and paid my membership. Yes, there are LOTS of people on the site, but I agree that the profile questions are excellent and the people I corresponded with were truthful.

On July 18, 2006, I read a profile that really resonated with me and emailed the gentleman. We corresponded for about a week, then decided to meet on webcam for a "date." After that we were online together just about every evening, talking about everything under the sun. On October 4, 2006, I flew to Canada for a visit, and October 6 we were married.

(My membership was automatically renewed, and I called immediately. They found the record of my cancellation and refunded the charge at once with no problem.)

I'm now a permanent resident of Canada and we are VERY happy together. My husband and I give God all the glory for what we believe was his orchestration of our meeting, and he used ChristianCafe.com to make it happen. Our advice is to cover ANY dating experience with continuous prayer, be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove in everything you do, and NEVER underestimate God! :-)
