"BUYER BEWARE...Match.com's business practices are very shady. If you decide to purchase a package you're not given the opportunity to purchase month-by-month. You're led to believe it's a month-by-month commitment...WRONG.

They hook you into a 6-month commitment and make it very difficult to immediately cancel or get a refund. The hoops you have to go through...definitely NOT a match. Pro-tip - call within 3 days to get a refund. I called on day 4 and was denied a refund. Someone else I talked to said he was told it was 6 days....hmmm.

SHADY.

"Match is a great site to find a serious relationship. It's a decent place to search for the right person. They use tools to make it efficient and most importantly, fun. It really worked and I certainly found my partner who I'll share the rest if my life with."

"The site is riddled with problems. First, inactive users. The site has millions of them. Second, fake accounts. I was targeted by these accounts. Turned out to be a Russian dating service matching Russian women with possible guys.

I know this because I am a network administrator and I have a spam e-mail account that I gave away to a few of these users and found out that they were real Russian women in Russia. When I told them I had no interest they stopped emailing.

The active accounts on the service is very small. And they typically have a stupid high standard and expectation to the point where they turned match into a hot or not type site where women are judging only based on looks instead of substance.

The few women I did talk too sounded like they had troubled past. And seemed a little uneven mentally speaking.

I thought I had found one. Turned out she just wanted ****. When I said no she turned away.

The phone app is a battery drain. And service in general just seemed to have issues with error 500 coming up or slow site performance. Or service not working at all.

Also the wording on my profile was changed without my permission several times.

Uploading pictures was difficult due to a known issue with the new Android camera api. Old software not updated to latest Android standards causes photos to be uploaded sideways. And other weird app issues.

Lastely. Service is wayy too expensive for what is offered. Its not worth it to pay 53 dollars for one month of service with every other feature being paid for. This is called Nicole and diming a customer to financial death for a service that gurantees you no outcome other then the company taking your money for a month."

"I joined Match.com just to see who was out there. It was 1993 the last time I had a first date and needless to say I was skeptical . Recently single again , I was just curious to see who was out there that might be interesting and I found that there were a few members that could be fun to get to know. One lady grabbed my attention immediately and I began to write her and she wrote back . After a couple of days we were speaking by phone and a week later we were on our first date. It was amazing how easy it was to communicate with her. Her profile was very informative and I knew we'd hit it off . 6 weeks later, we are still dating and having a blast enjoying each other's personalities and passions. She only lives a few miles from me , but I would never have met this wonderful lady had it not been for match.com. Not everyone will have the success I have encountered possibly , but I believe it's well worth the try. I had planned on dating for a while , but I'm completely thrilled with the match I have found and plan to nurture this relationship as long as I can. Soul Mates?? Possibly. , ... we will see. "

" Met my love on there. She is the perfect woman for me. Couldn't have asked for any better results than that from Match.com....
Thanks"

"I was able to communicate with dozens of guys that I would have never met otherwise. I went on several dates with a few and am happy to say I've been dating one guy for almost a year that I met off Match! Match worked for me. "

"It was not helpful when all of my "matches" were from far away...sometimes multiple states away."

"I signed up for 6 months membership back in Jan, 2016. but it was auto renewed in August without my consent, I didn't receive any email, notification to inform me about the renew, only my credit card was being charge, I called the company's rep, and was told that it is not refundable, I haven never encounter such awful costumer service. "

"I think match.com has a lot to offer to a single guy, lots of good match options on website. Match web page is well put together and really easy to use. ^_^"

"Think I've found the one!"

"I was skeptical so I only paid for a 1 month subscription. Within 2 weeks it met someone & we've been talking, hanging out and getting to know each other ever since. We still have our differences but it's looking pretty good so far! "

"I had given up on finding my Perfect Mate until this handsome man reached out to me and rocked my world! Had our first date everything is history! Thanks match for making this happen!"

"I liked match obviously because it allowed me to easily be in contact with single people but I don't like all the fees. And unfortunately in city there just aren't a lot of people that I personally was interested in. So it didn't seem like there weren't many matches for me. "

"I've used different online dating sites on and off for a long time. I've met some great people, I've met some weirdos. I was always waiting for someone special to come around. I wondered if the patience and steadfastness would work. Is it possible to meet your next love online? I decided to keep trying just a bit longer, eventually it had to work, right? It did. I met Ryan on match 6 weeks ago. We closed our match accounts within a few weeks of meeting. I wouldn't have found him any other way. I'm glad I kept trying because he's something special."

"I was on Match for about 2-1/2 years before I met my current love interest. It was a mix of frustration and elation. Frustration in the number of women who "liked" or "favorited" me, yet didn't respond when I sent them a message expressing my mutual interest.
While not a perfect record, I did try to respond with a "Thank you but No Thank You" message to those that sent a "like" or "favorite" to me but didn't interest me. I rarely received those - I thought women were supposed to be the kinder, gentler, more polite part of the human race.
Overall, I think that at my age - low 60's - and the women I found attractive (56-63) we have narrowed the definition of who we are seeking too much and are unwilling to explore someone different.
But perseverance seems to have won out for me and I would still recommend Match over some other online dating sites to those singles out there seeking a mate.
My 2 cents"
