Reviews of Chemistry.com

wish i could give it 0 stars. it's all a bunch of bull. they claim they use personality testing to match you with your perfect mate. there isn't on personality type that doesn't get sent. and their billing practices are unethical. if you think you have canceled your "month's subscription" - make sure you get it in writing, better yet call and have a confirmation sent, because they will keep charging your card. then when you call to cancel, they'll try to talk you into staying, that they will let you know how to get better results...HA! save yourself the time and money - go to a free site. you have to do the same thing there - read the profiles.

I joined in on 11/21/10 and met my match on 11/22/10. Our wedding is in a few months. This may not happen with everyone, or be a typical result, but I had been on other sites, and felt like I was on an assembly line of sorts.

I signed up on a Sunday night of a free weekend and by Monday I was contacted by the person that turned out to be the most gentle, respectful, loving man I have ever met. We are still together and now living together almost married.

People's experience vary but with Chemistry, after the long signup process with the questions etc, I have found the assessment to be very accurate. Both mine and his now that I have known him for a little while. I did get some matches that I contacted but never got a response from any of the people I contacted. They also sent me some matches that I don't think were looking for me as their type also, but whatever I'm not sure if that is a computer thing or they are just encouraging an open mind.

Whatever the case, I have finally found my match (well Chemistry found him for me) and my life has not been the same since the chemistry starter. Let love live! Don't rule anything out, my $49.95 membership was totally worth it. And I didn't even last a month on the site. I cancelled within a week after we found each other.

Still together and going strong.. have an open mind, you never know what you might find!

I bid you good evening!

This was a total waste of money and time. I would say 95% percent of my matches had no pictures. I also could not adjust the location default. They were sending me matches from Canada and New York City and I live in the Boston area. Not sure how they match people, but I think they just use the cute little tests as a gimic. Nothing not even a coffee date happened... very disappointed!!

I agree with what a lot of people are saying... More than 30% of my "matches" indicate "this match is no longer available" under "my 'not reallys'" the next day or the day after...

I will say this much... The people that I have managed to connect with on the site have been much better connections than on other sites and I believe that has a lot to do with the amount of effort required to create an account on Chemistry.com and the fact that most people won't go through the process if they aren't serious about finding something more meaningful...

Even with abundance of inactive accounts, I still managed to fish the Chemistry pond dry within 30-days of signing up (I started getting less matches each day, and most of them were FAR outside my search criteria!)

It will take a lot of work, but it might just be worth it :)

I agree with some of the others that Chemistry.com is a scam. I just got off the phone with the customer service and found out they are based in Jamaica. I was so angry I just told him to cancel my subscription. I tried to find a home office but was not successful. I think we should band together to stop this scam. What does everyone else think.
Please be careful out there. By the way the rating should be minus 100.

Chemistry.com is owned by Match.com and they employ the same kind of deceptive trade practices. If you fill out a profile on Match (but don't join) then you will very soon get a "match" that you have to join to follow up on. The "match" won't be real and it will become obvious over time that they are from some electronic sweatshop overseas (but by then you have paid your money). Same thing when you get near your expiration date or if you cancel. Another mysterious match will show up who turns out not to be real. It is Match trying to suck you into a renewal.

Chemistry also rejects any Chemistry email that identifies an outside email address. The work-arounds, if nothing else, are humorous in their obscurity.

I have been on the site for less than a month and I am severely disappointed.

I check my matches daily just to see what they have in store for me and it has become something of a game for me and my friends. All the guys that have been interested in me are incompatible. Of the men I have been interested in, only 3 responded in a timely manner (timely manner for me is 3 days, anything longer I assume the account is dormant or the individual is not interested). 90% of my matches have been white men when my preference is 33-40 year old black, Hispanic, or Asian men. Some of these white men have indicated their preferences are not black women. Why would they match people that have indicated they don't want each other? Something very wrong with that matching system.

I have been out to coffee with one guy, but there were no sparks. This is the only reason I am giving them 1 star.

I have a week left and I'll never join another dating site. I am done. I'll meet my bloke the normal way or not meet anyone at all.

Chemistry.com seems to have a very limited selection, which limit choices.

I'm completely dissatisfied with chemistry. Their science is based on personality types, like builder, negotiater, director and explorer. I have been matched with every personality, its a scam. I asked for a range of 50 miles, 90% of the 'matches' I get are 2 to 5 hours away from where I specified. I think their billing tactics should be against the law, they are deceptive. I keep getting 'matches' that don't match what I requested. I don't want a smoker, they send them to me, I don't want someone that drinks a lot, but guess what, they send their profiles anyway. I was offended when I got sent men that were separated, I didn't ask for that, I don't want a man that's still married. Men older, younger, heavier, slimmer than I ask are sent. I've been on the site for almost 2 months, I've had maybe three men that have 'noticed me'. I don't mean to sound conceited but I am attractive, but no one is ever 'interested'. I look at every profile, and I find it hard to believe that the men don't look at most of them they get . This is actually hard for me to write, I don't really complain. A lot of times the site has problems. I have tried so many times to change where I describe myself, or put up pictures, or get help with this and don't get a response. This is my first experience with a dating site. I don't think I will take another chance with another dating site. I was hoping to meet someone special because of what they offered on this site. I wish it would have been a good experience. But it wasn't. I'm ok with being alone so if someone comes along in the future, ok, if not, so be it. I hope the best on everyone's Qwest for someone special.

ACTUALLY I WOULD RATE IT AND IT'S AFFILIATES 0 STARS; COMPLETE AND TOTAL NONSENSE. YOU'D SOONER RUN INTO SOMEONE ON THE STREET OR A SUBWAY, WITH AS MANY COMMON INTERESTS. BESIDES BEING RIDICULOUS IN THEIR MATCHING PROCESSES, THEY OBFUSCATE ANY METHOD OF DICONTUNUING THEM. THEY ALL ALSO SHARE MEMER LISTS WITH OTHER DATING SITES SO THAT YOU CONSTANTLY BARRAGED WITH OFFERS, FREE OFFERS, COUPON NONSENSE. IT'S LIKE A BLIETKRIEG. TOU'D JUST AS SOON OPEN A PHONE BOOK ANY CALL SOMEONE AT RANDOM. THERE OUT TO BE A LAW. TOO BAD THERE ISN'T.

I've been on here a month and the games people play! This includes the Chemistry employees who will not, I repeat will not, allow you to cancel. I was actually offered 6 months for less than $60. I wonder if they take concerns seriously and really do delete people from the website for violating concerns? Please let me know any information about this.
I met one guy on there, the fourth one who emailed me, on my first day. His name is Christopher and 32 and wears glasses and is from Roanoke, TX- Ladies, beware! This guy said all the right things, led me to believe we were in a relationship and likely got me pregnant. For the past three weeks he has strung me along with excuses of being "busy" and then clicked that he was no longer interested in me. Yet, his profile totes him as an "open and honest guy" who is "Looking for the right one" and "likes to keep it real" and "hates games".
Does Chemistry delete people for this type of behavior?
