Reviews of Match.com

Ladies beware of a very attractive widower on here who has one child,
his wife had an unfortunate accident and who is now looking for a wonderful lady to give himself and the kid a new lease on life, !
He has struck it rich in oil, is ready to buy a fabulous home and land and live happily ever after with you, !
The whole things is a scam naturally, little by little you will see in order to get the huge pay off from oil, he is just short of a few thousand, 20thousand to be exact, he has to pay some Gov. taxes before the money is released, and all his money is tied up naturally till the pay off!
So just think if you just spring up the money to the Gov. a bit beforehand you will live in affluence and splendour with this very handsome man for the rest of your life!
And he writes these melodramatic gushy e-mails, soppy and frankly too much, like some Victorian era porn,...
I don't believe that is his picture either, he stole it somewhere, ...
Do these scammers really think that any of us after having exchanged
two weeks of e-mail with a guy in Cyber space, no matter how handsome, will now get out the check books and be willing to hand over thousands and thousands, ...
I told him just what I thought of the whole Scenario, and of course have not heard anything since!
And there are more of his kind, quite a few actually, so beware!

I only had my match.com account for one month. My friend helped me make it and she INSISTED that I talked to at least 5 new men a week until I met someone I really liked. I had pretty much given up on ALL MEN after my ex-husband who was horrible to me and our 2 children. So anyways, I did like she said and I only met one super creepy guy that I had to "escape" from...leave him at the restaurant where we met. The rest of the men I met seemed to be normal guys. Nice guys. Just not a good match for a single mom like me. Then it was the day before my month ended and I was going to cancel my account when I got an email from a man I actually went to high school with but never knew (it was a big high school). We hit it off via email immediately. Then about two weeks later we met for lunch and that was the end of life as I knew it. We dated 15 months before he proposed and were married three months later. That was over 2 years ago that we met and he is the absolute man of my dreams and the father of my children...He is adopting them. I just can't explain how wonderful joining match turned out for me. I realize I may be a rare story, but I still wanted to share it!!!

Match had its day a few years back when you could meet some decent men, but now it's no better and no more secure than Craigslist.

My main concern is Match's lack of security. I don't expect Match to screen people, but if someone is reported for harassment or for sending unsolicited naked pics, for example, all they have to do is create a new profile with a new username and they're right back on. And guess what, Match will even send them to you as a "suggested match" after you've blocked and repeatedly reported them because they keep changing their username and contacting you.

It's also true what others are saying about being blacklisted after making a complaint. Make too much noise and you go from having 20 winks a day to none...that is until your subscription is almost up. And don't get me started on the fake profiles...

Mike, you are right on point. People like LWoozy think their sh!t don't stank "Caroline." Sorry, but if you are a girl on match.com and complaining, you aren't that great. So many more dudes than chicas on here, I just highly doubt that any girl that says "I'm really attractive" actually is. "I'm petite, attractive, blah, blah, blah." So why you are single when there are ALWAYS more dudes out at bars and clubs and on here? Maybe you need to take an introspective look rather than blaming others?

I like the site, myself. Takes some time to get used to, but if you learn how to play the game it works well. First, don't wink at girls. Second, don't write a novel, keep it two paragraphs. Make it funny. Ask them questions at the end of your e-mail. Has worked well for me. Not looking to get married just yet, but have dated and continue to meet and date on match. I can tell you that it won't work if you already are bitter towards guys, have pre-conceived notions, and make quick judgments and assumptions- buy some cats in that case because you aren't finding a dude with that tude.'

To the person LWoozi below me, I DID write about my experience in the second paragraph. I gave the site 5 stars. Learn how to READ. Why am I single? Because I CHOOSE to be, unlike you. I am a cute guy and enjoy dating cute girls and am not looking for anything serious right now. You gave the site a low rating. That's your fault. Look in the mirror. Everyone whines and complains about the site. The billing I can understand if there is an issue there. As far as not meeting someone on match.com, I would suggest people stop blaming themselves and look in the mirror, especially the women. There are at least 5 times the amount of male profiles as female, yet still for some reason I am able to meet quality women.

First of all, Mr. California, the name LWoozy is a play on my first initial & last name. Second of all, I'm a VERY FINE- looking woman, but I have nothing to prove to you, so I can afford to be picky & get what I want. Third, I'm sure you're lying about the ladies you get, but then again, I've been to California & there aren't too many women there who have brains AND beauty (and real assets). I notice that you're STILL looking and haven't settled down with anyone. I just ended a 4-year relationship with a jealous/ controlling man in November & I'm ready to settle down. What's your excuse for being single? I can only conclude that your status has to do with your superficial comment about how I must look (because of the name I used on here)? Really? Asshole much?

I get PLENTY of men looking and wanting to date, but I'd prefer to stay in. Not because of your ignorant comments about 'gunfire,' but because I've been to the clubs & bars and I've come across the same people. It gets tired- especially when you're over 30. The men in Detroit can be players, so it's not easy. It doesn't help that I spend time getting my new home together- which takes a chunk out of my personal life.

So, before you 'try' to go off judging people and the city they live NEAR or grew up in, maybe you should get a clue. This site is obviously for the purpose of getting feedback for Match.com, not citing ignorant comments about the posters and their experience(s) on the site.

By the way, if you need definitions for any big words that I may have used, I'll be happy to help you.

The first problem to the person below me is that you live in Detroit. "Getting out more," why, so you can dodge gunfire? The second problem is that you live in Detroit and are picky. You might want to curb your expectations, Michigan is not exactly the mecca of dating. I can only imagine what someone with the name LWoozy looks like.

My experience on match has been 5 stars all the way. Very easy to meet people, get numbers, and go on dates. I get to choose who I want to talk to, which is also nice as opposed to Eharmony. Match also lets me know when someone has last been active, so I'm not wasting my time trying to communicate with someone who hasn't been active in months. Again, another reason match is better than Eharmony. I just re-joined this month, it's now the 13th, and I've had a dozen phone numbers. I'm obviously not going out with 12 different women, but for sure there is some quality in there and will be going out with at least 4 of them and seeing how I feel from there.

Well, this site is helping. I was thinking of joining Match.com because I'm a homebody & only go out with friends (guys) that I know- so I don't get hit on...sometimes. I'm VERY attractive, but I'm also picky.

I was thinking of joining Match.com because I'm ready to settle down & have a family, but I don't like the bar/ club scene.

I cannot believe the comments the men are making on here in regards to sex, not writing a sincere email, and referring to women as 'girls.' I'm a woman and would prefer not to be referred to as a girl. That's the first red flag with some guys on here. It's creepy to refer to grown women as girls when you're over 30.

Another thing with Match.com: I have on there that I'd like a guy with an athletic build, but I always get Big Daddies winking at me. I'm a small woman, so I'd PREFER an athletic guy. Not superficial, just realistic. Then I have no kids for my mate, but I get guys trying to contact me who have children. I don't have children & would like to start a life with someone who doesn't. Again- not superficial, just realistic.

My experience, so far, has been men who just look at my pictures, without reading my tastes & interests, then want to contact me. If they can't take the time to get past the pictures & try to get to know more, then I won't take the time to see what they're about- especially when they're not my taste (because I took the time to READ what they like & what they're about). I was waiting to see the responses I got before I actually came out of my pocket for a subscription, but I think I may pass & just get out more.

One, I would say this if you are a guy: If you aren't a very decent looking dude, with tons of pictures (not shirtless either), I wouldn't bother. I'm sorry, but women are also visual creatures. Most of the complaints that come from BOTH guys and girls, even though you claim to be attractive, others may not think your pics are. Two, I've learned from my search. I happen to be a good writer, so I have a boiler plate e-mail I send out to women I'm interested in. You can also tell by pics and profile content if someone is athletic, outdoorsy, a transplant, they like dogs, etc. So, I'll send out the boiler plate e-mail with a short funny story with a slight tweak tailored to what I saw in their profile and pics. That usually goes in the headline. I get consistent responses, phone numbers, dates, and sexual intercourse.

I met my true love on Match.Com she is my life and my world. We are going on 10-years. I feel if you make it to this point where you make a commitment to meet someone and go on-line to marry, use Match.com. You find someone who enjoys what you do.

Yes we do argue and it is not always 100% perfect but we love each other 100% and work though the hard times. We never go to bed mad. God bless and thank you Match . com
