Match.com Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• CMV: Dating is objectively harder for men than it is women and women’s refusal to concede this one point is annoying

  Okcupid is the king of realistic expectations. I'm an average male with a half decent job. I know my place. That place isn't match.com. Living in northern new mexico, adjacent to a fancy ski town, there were tons of what I perceived as 10s for females on match.com. Not just pretty but like active too, no smokers, not in recovery, always outside being all fancy and athletic. Pictures in a kyak, mountains, rafts,... Source: 5 months ago

• Is getting married even worth it?

  Hey buddy!! Met my first wife on love.aol.com (which became match.com) a quarter century ago. The Internet is older than you think. Source: 5 months ago

• CMV: More than half of men in Western cities will be dating AIs within 20 years.

  Remember that most popular dating apps are owned by match.com. They have a vested interested in you using the apps as long as possible. If you actually find a relationship they don't make any more money off you. Source: 5 months ago

• Last update.

  I still don't know if she was really in need of help, because she was being sex trafficked or something by these people. I suspect it ever since coming back from Colombia, and hearing my translator tell me the woman on the phone thought she was a "prepago" or escort basically in Colombian slang. People who are escorts don't usually hide the fact that they are. Understand that these date.com websites.. Which they... Source: 6 months ago

• ‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps

  Of course, everyone is sick of companies like match.com exploiting every possible option for outrageous subscription amounts. Dating sites filled with old and/or fake profiles, bots sending messages from fake users, and misleading claims about services. Fuck match and every low life company like them. Source: 6 months ago

• New Match update...bad enough I unsubscribed and demanded a refund

  ALL match.com websites are a scam to mislead people for as long as possible while they pay for a subscription to see old, vacant, fake profiles. Fuck match.com. Source: 6 months ago

• How to date???

  It's a damn shame apps have gone downhill since they were first started, because I met my husband and some really wonderful people, a couple of who are still friends of mine, on OKCupid a decade ago. My other mid-30s friends have a lot more success now on paid matching services like match.com because people are apparently more serious about getting into a relationship on there compared to tinder.

• Update on match.com price increases, features, and marketing

  Earlier this week I posted what was essentially a complaint about match.com pricing (WAY up in the last six months). Source: 8 months ago

• There is a problem with your account

  A bit of background, I'm recently out of a 20 year relationship. Haven't used my Match.com account in about that long. My profile's been hidden the whole time. I updated, rewrote my profile and deleted all the old pics & uploaded new ones. Last week I changed my profile so it was no longer hidden and was ready to subscribe when Match.com slammed the door shut in my face. Source: 8 months ago

• What are some of the things that make you unmatch right after matching?

  My immediate deal breakers on match.com...any pictures with chest showing more than once, can't spell...can't form sentences, low effort profiles or responses, don't know what they want or just seeing whats out there (usually married), only fish, truck or hunting pics, look older than Santa Claus, ungroomed, messy house or yard, 5'4' or 6'7' (for real) guys that try to make their lives look like James Bond, any...

• If you are a habitually well-behaved, risk-averse guy, you will almost never be a woman's first in this post-Tinder world.

  I am now 35 years old. I met my husband in 2010. I was 21 and turned 22. He was 25, turning 26. I think match.com and stuff were a thing, but dating apps and stuff weren't things, and I didn't use them. Source: 10 months ago

• How do you handle the prospect of growing old alone?

  I got divorced when I was 47 - threw out a match.com profile that basically laid out my good attributes, trivial items and little quirks, what I *wasn't* looking for in a woman and other dealbreakers. Anyone still reading it towards the end were all fair game - and from there it came down to personality and physical attraction. Didn't take very long to find someone and we've been together ever since. Source: 10 months ago

• OLD report on Match.com - higher prices.

  My match.com subscription recently expired. According to the information on my account, to renew was going to cost $75 for 3 months. That seemed too high to me AND, in recent years, match would offer a 67% discount if I threatened to cancel. So I cancelled. When I don't have a subscription, my tactic has been to spend 3 to 5 months as a 'free' user' to save $ and then to sign up again. HOWEVER what I learned was... Source: 10 months ago

• How to date when you hate texting?

  I recommend not using apps at all. The guys on apps are mostly incompatible or they are predatory. Your chance of getting a good quality match and following it through successfully are very low. A curated site like match.com is much more likely to produce results. Source: 10 months ago

• I never expected this - in the slightest.

  The match.com account was suddenly suspended. All the autofill passwords for the accounts vanished, and all search history for Match had gone (all these are saved through the google account I had been given access to). Source: 10 months ago

• The question “what do you bring to the table?” Is condescending & immediately makes me lose interest.

  She wasn’t particularly attractive either…but apparently was expecting Cary Grant to arrive or Beezos at least with his moneybags. I imagine she’s on match.com now still hunting that great white whale. Source: 10 months ago

• Homestead dating pool?

  I am 90% certain all those niche dating sites are actually just match.com with a texture pack. Source: 10 months ago

• Where can a guy go to get feedback on his appearance?

  I was recently on match.com but had very few responses compared to the number of women that viewed my profile. I think it may have had something to do with my appearance. Source: 10 months ago

• Giving up over 50 guy

  I get no replies on match.com even with good profile and message. Source: 10 months ago

• San Diego struggles for "Husband Material" type guy

  That all makes a lot of sense to me and I need to pursue making more friends and other social groups! Okcupid used to work great for me before it was bought out by Match group (owner of match.com). Do you know how well it's working these days? I feel it has a similar swipe based algorithm which means your profile is sorted by their system instead of it being a level playing field like in the early OKC days. ... Source: 10 months ago

• So since the dating apps don’t seem to work what else are us singles supposed to do? It’s not easy to meet people in real life either. It seems like most people in their mid 40’s are just done with dating or have to much baggage.

  If I've been talking to a guy for about two weeks - I shut down my profile for a while - why would I focus on "other options" when I'm trying to grow this new baby relationship? But I think a LOT of people men and women - keep surfing the dating app (out of habit) or think some other "better opportunity might come along? I do agree I used dating apps in 2013-2014 - actually met my ex-husband on match.com - but he... Source: 10 months ago
