I have been off match for over 4 months. They will not let me hide my profile. I am still receiving winks and e-mails along with weekly matches. They continue to harass while cause problems with my girlfriend (not from match). When will they stop! I have been a good customer for the last 7 years, is this the way to treat a good customer! I will never return to match even if it was free!
@Yanis You can't blame the site for one bad experience with one man.
Looking for fling with girls and women. I'm 6ft4 tall muscular and handsome new to this looking forward to meeting interesting girls and women who are beautiful, as i believe girls will be interested when they see me face to face absolutely I'm sure.
The good -- There are TONS of profiles here. Many very attractive women. A robust search engine. A number of alternate ways to find appropriate mates other than searching.
The bad -- Tons of profiles seem to be a double edged sword. There are lots of women to email, and then... nothing. On this site I get perhaps a third the response rate of OkC and PoF. You have to pay extra to see if women have read your email.
This site has a ton of upsells -- chemistry.com, matchTalk (to call them), to see if they're reading your emails... They're likely not worth it.

My own experience, men lie in their profiles. I met a man that claimed to be 5 years younger than what he was, claimed to be athletic and was sooo thin, claimed to be adventurous and was not, claimed to be divorced but the man never married, air brushed his picture to look handsome and was not, he was rude and insensitive. Never again!
I am 18 years of age and want somebody/man to chat and mabey flirt with and who knows maybe we can begin a relationship.
I reported several phishing profiles and they closed my account without a refund!! Probably I reported some of their own "animators" When I ask why they closed it, they told me to bring a court order for subpoena. A pretty mediocre website from a technical perspective with sloppy instant messaging and limited search options e.g. one cannot search by "willingness to relocate" (see my comment about distance). You will always have better chances if the girl lives within 30 miles or less of you. Don't try long distance, because having so many male to choose from, they will just pass you for the next local guy. (Male to female ratio must be 3-4 to 1). Hope these comments help.
Let’s put it this way match.com is not a site that I would recommend, I know someone who has 2 accounts on match.com (armand1333 and armandexplorer), same person but 2 different account so you tell me if that person is really serious. If he was serious why would he be online one both account at the same time and by the way this person has a wonderful girlfriend but typical man always thinks the grass is greener elsewhere, what a joke........
Looking for that someone special! I can sense that I always lead with my heart. My feelings dominate my decisions. On the other hand, when I allow intelligence to curb sentimentality and sharpen intuitive faculties, I can be unerring in my instinctive judgements.
