Reviews of Match.com

My husband ,Charles Stallworth accepted a job in Louisville,Ky . I found out that he was on Match.com looking for women between the ages of 30-65!. A little desperate don't you think? He also said he was divorced. This site allows people to lie to and trick innnocent people just to meet their own selfish needs. Be CAREFUL when answering an ad on this site.......More often than not the person placing it is a LIAR.

If you are a man, you need to read F. Roger Devlin's articles, available on the Internet. Study in particular the piece entitled "Sexual Utopia in Power."

What most men don't realize when they go to sites like match.com is that they are only contributing to female hypergamy. This behavior is an evolutionary sexual strategy used by women, but in the current age, it's reached new levels of intensity as American civilization has become both more materialistic and more stratified economically and socially. There are fewer and fewer men able to pay their way owing to many years of disastrous economic and political policies; moreover, these men are also having to compete with women for jobs. This has led to a situation of women holding out til they are 40 for an unrealistic suitor to appear and save them from cubicle hell. At the same time, their assets and desirability are declining at an inverse ratio to that of men, who tend to become wealthier and more desirable with age. This means there's a growing proportion of men who will simply never be able to find a mate. The best way to improve your chances in dating is to become involved in activities with a high sociability factor. Internet dating does nothing besides temporarily boost the hypergamous impulses of females while leaving men poorer and depressed.

The female obsession with being discovered by a very wealthy, attractive and available man interested in serving her needs and wants for many years is only exacerbated by sites like match. You may be a good looking man with a good job and a modest but respectable list of accomplishments, but from the point of view the average American woman, she can always imagine a better deal waiting around the corner. You are just not good enough and the fact you pull in six figures and have a 30 inch waist isn't going to overcome her fantasies. These have been carefully implanted in her by nature and then jacked up by romance novels. (Devlin does a brilliant job of introducing men to the psycho-sexual orientation of females via romance literature.) Devlin goes a long way in helping men with good intentions and a genuine interest in a long term relationship leading to marriage and family understand why not only is modern dating so awful, but why Internet dating in particular is to be avoided.

Please do not waste your time and money with match.com. You can spend hours searching for attractive women with interesting profiles but will be disappointed with a lack of responses. I am a good looking guy with a decent profile and had no success with this site. Match.com will say that I need to improve my profile. But I don't think I need to be an English literature major to attract women on match.com. It is hard for me to believe that out of thousands of so called female members on match.com I received 1 response. And that was not even an expression of interest.

Match.com is not a well organized site to begin with. I have seen some mutual matches that have also been reverse matches. I ask them to send profiles of women with pictures and they send me ones with no primary photo. When I started using match.com free they were sending me pictures of pretty women. After I started paying I noticed that the women became less attractive and appealing.

Overall, my point is that it is more efficient to meet women in a bar or club. Even a grocery store. Don't spend hours searching and writing e-mails. That is a waste of time.

If I could have picked 0 stars for Match.com I would. Basically I am both disgusted and frightened about some of the people they freely allow on their site. They say that their members go through a background screening but I doubt that is the case. I met someone on their site who basically lied about his name, what he did, his family, I mean everything. I of course didn't find all of this out until after I had gone out with him. While on our date I began to become increasingly uncomfortable because he started to get aggressive and I started to feel completely unsafe. There was a gut instinct I had and I should have listened to it -- if something or someone seems too good to be true they probably are. A very good male friend of mine pointed out a very scary thing to me while we were discussing this guy and what had happened. He said --- well basically your profile was a perfect roadmap to you, it told him exactly what was important to you and why. Predators and creeps rely on that sort of thing, that's what makes it so much easier for them to succeed in their goals. After thinking this through I realized those points are completely true...which is what makes the whole situation all the scarier. I'm lucky that nothing really bad happened to me given the fact that I was basically deceived by someone who obviously had nothing but the worst of intentions. I would persuade all women who are going to utilize online dating to do background checks on perspective people. I guess I was just too naive and too stupid to realize I should have dug more. I will never again do online dating --- I'll find my match the old fashioned way.

I think the entire site is in one way or another a scam with fake profiles. I too get the winks only to discover the profile is "no longer available"

I also have the widowed man with a 13 yr old son with many, many different profiles and many different states all with different pictures HOWEVER; the verbiage is IDENTICAL. Skirt around every question and if you ask anything legitimate, the profile just disappears!

I had a man write me directly at my personal email and by pass Match. I complained to Match and they told me it was not possible and that I must have given him my email address. I had just joined 9 days before and NO ONE, even in their security department could explain how that happened. They insist I gave him my email. When I asked the profile person where he got my email from, his answer was " I do not think that is important!"

Needless to say, I will not renew my subscription. Also, keep in mind their free 6 months if you do not meet anyone in the first 6 months states that you MUST wink at one of your matches every day.....I get winks my 21 year old men and I am 55.

DO NOT JOIN THIS DATING SITE........IT IS A WASTE OF ALL OUR MONIES!!

This is so ridiculous!!!! They send me pictures of their matches from 2000 miles away. Or they are 30 years younger. None in my area. A big waste of my money. Don't join. It is just a scam because they are not sending me any of my requirements. Don't be tempted by their ads. Forget it go to the free sites, they seem to send you what you ask for. I have not gotten one that is interested in me or one that I am interested in.

An earlier reviewer said he assumed that if the Profile on Match indicated 3 weeks or more without the person signing on, the person (of the Profile) isn't interested anymore. I would answer that by pointing to the other emails that express extreme frustration with Match. Personally, I often don't sign into Match for a long time because I'm so frustrated with the sort of men who contact me, mostly with winks from far away, but sometimes with 2-sentence emails that never blossom into anything longer in later emails. I always answer emails.

I'm looking for a man who can really think and express those thoughts in writing. I don't find anyone able to do that and get discouraged. I'm not going to spend all my time looking on Match for the elusive intelligent man. Since my last 6 months are free, I'm just staying on Match in case a miracle occurs. I would suggest that if you're really interested in a person, you go ahead and email them even if you're not sure they will respond. Sometimes I get so busy in my life that I don't sign onto Match for a long time.

Match has a lot of foibles that could be improved, but you can't improve the pool of people: scam artists, men who want ONLY sex, men who are nice but not good at communicating about emotions, men who don't have a deep understanding of life around them. I'm sure there are a few good men in the pool, but the rare one who doesn't live only in a sound-byte world, where is he? Maybe not on Match.

Unfortunately, there are three main reasons why match.com and similar dating sites fail. #1, the majority of people, below average quality to the highest quality, are not looking for anything serious. They are "playing the field" with little respect for other people's feelings. #2, the majority of people have unrealistic expectations in terms of a suitable mate. The men want the hottest and youngest, and the women want the hottest and coolest. #3, the online dating dynamic that most men have already identified, women get bombarded with attention. The competition is beyond intense.

So casual dating combined with the highest expectations and an unbalanced communication ratio that favors the females..... an absolute recipe for disaster. It's not impossible for success to occur, but it's literally like hitting the lottery of love.

I favor attempting to meet women in-person through old-fashioned methods (classes, sports, interest groups). The problem is that online dating has "killed" a lot of these programs. The turn out rates are usually very disappointing, since people are living in a digital world. Many mechanisms for meeting in-person have been replaced with electronic means such as match.com. Sad, but true.

hello, after i checked the profiles for 3 months, i payed up for 3 months, england ireland mostly, 85 % off the woman are overweight, and they want younger man (most off them) a lot off lies and and difficult the get an appointment, the younger ladies (with kids), just looking for financial aid, support, father for the kids, some off them they try to keep you in the house very fast, especially if your can cook and you are on a good salary, ....waisted time and money....give me spanish and russian lady"s.....

Although you sent me several so called matches, nothing ever worked out beyond the first meeting. I hereby request that my membership be canceled immediately. Please confirm cancellation by return e-mail. I do not wish to receive any more suggested matches from your organization.
