I have not had much luck with Match.com. There are too many males as compared to the number of females.

According to some, a few years ago Match.com gender ratio was something like 56% men to 44% women. Not too off balance and typical of most dating sites. The only real exception to this is eHarmony, which has more women then men. According to our story called eHarmony Gender Ratio & Age Range, eHarmony has a Male to Female ratio of 38% to 62%.

You are NO WHERE EVEN CLOSE to a real statistic buddy.. Its more like the male to female ratio is 5 to 1. You can just check it out yourself by counting the pages. Even if the girl is a baggage laden fat pig, she will get tons of email because of the imbalance. The ratios are even more screwed up for guys, than going to the corner bar!

Yes I agree. I simple counting of the pages indicates a ratio of around 5:1 though this will vary on the age group. This is actually a magnification of the slight gender imbalance in society. Roughly around 106 males for each 100 females in the UK. As a simple exercise, remove all the people who are married, in relationships or seeing someone, as an example assume this was 96 females (includes people in very loose casual relationships) paired with 96 men. This would leave 10 truely single males (with no one to regularly to sleep with), chasing the remaining 4 females.
Once things are factored in such as some men who are either rich or handsome enough sleeping with a lot more than one woman, I wasn't surprised to find dating site ratios of 5:1 in the UK.
The personal effect for a single guy, is living in a country which is a relentless struggle to find anyone. But in my experience, just get shot down if this is ever brought up in polite company.

Gender imbalance--if you are Male then you end up with a very poor selection of women...a solid 6 attraction woman on a scale of 0-10 acts as if a solid 9 male is beneath her..go enjoy if you like this sort of garbage...AND DON'T BE SUPRISED AS i WAS TO SEE WOMEN 15 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU ARE routinely HITTING ON YOU BIG TIME...I am 35 year old professional, a body builder, and attractive as far as that goes...MAtch.com- GROSSED ME OUT...if you want to date someone who could be your mother go for it....if you are male there have to be better sites elsewhere. MATCH.COM was unfortunately a waste of my time and money. Happy searching!!

This has been my experience on all dating sites. Older wrinkly woman getting their ego's stroked online ...then complaining when their date just wants a shag in the lane and off with his mates....
If there was a serious site out there that monitored the sites ...they might actually have a niche

Your full of it..i'm aslo male and dont get winks back or replies from females i like sometimes but, the competition is tough out there and the women you desire are likely very attractive and get hit on by better looking guys then you so if your not getting attention, may its cause you dont measure up despite your narcistic view of yourself. I found Match to be a very realistic measuring stick on were a person stands on the attraction meter and the type of girls i go out with on here are hit or misses but, i begain to notice the red flags more so i get less misses then before.

Something tells me this jerk is probably STILL looking for someone to meet his superficial standards. If you're a solidly arrogant nine making a lot of money and working out, and some equally superficial woman hasn't snatched you up with her claws yet, your personality must be as much of a turn off as it came across here.

Match isn't perfect, but a lot of the complaints I see here are because PEOPLE aren't perfect. It isn't Match's responsibility to make sure you use your head when you are meeting people (although they do recommend it). If you met someone and he/she screwed you over, that's life. It sucks, but people like that existed way before Match was even thought of. I do agree there are some things that could be fixed; I put a free profile up to see how things would go, and I had some emails pretty quickly. I went ahead and signed up so I could read them, and inevitably it was one line: "Hey, how are you?" For some people, there's nothing wrong with that, but if that's the most someone can muster up to say, I'm not very interested. It isn't Match's fault that the sender wrote that, but it would be nice if people could see the email before they subscribed, but had to pay to be able to respond. However, not that big of a deal, I've gotten some interesting emails as well. Maybe they'll turn out to be duds, maybe not, but for their part, Match is doing what they said they would do: letting me get in contact with people who seem to have similar interests to mine.

The most likely explanation for these brief introductory messages is that they are fake, inserted by the owners of the website to entice you into paying a sub.

Your right on the money about your comment regarding low quality of women. Most women on there are older and have kids. Now I realize that there are ALOT of nice, beautiful single mothers out there, but Match.com does not host any of them. Again, I agree with the ration comment as well. There are 7-10 guys per every 1 woman AND the woman is usually not so attractive in the first place.

I'd also like to add that most of the pretty cute - beautiful women profiles are not active! Somehow, they either forgot to manually close out their profile or just don't check. I can't even count how many times I have received a response from some female who tells me about all the hundreds of emails she receives a day from guys, which eventually overwhelms her, thus doesn't check her email anymore.

BOTTOM LINE: You may be able to pick up a few dates from it, but will eventually get frustrated with the lack of quality and ratio that just makes it extremely hard for any guy, including athletic, well put together men such as myself, for any chance at meeting someone of their standards.

I don't know about a gender imbalance, but as far as you being hit on by older women, please allow me to say this: I am a very young appearing and attractive 63 year old woman and I get more hits from guys in their 30s, 40s, and early 50's than anyone else. I DON'T GET IT. I tell them all thank you but to run along and be a good boy. I specifically state that I am searching for men 55 and older. So, you see, sometimes it works the other way around. I agree, however that Match.com is pretty much a waste of time and money, but I prefer it to hanging out in bars.

Why don't match.com read these comments and revamp their website. The comments seem too portray Match.com with likes but more so disappointments. This common feedback should make match.com aware of these issues. Why don't match.com utilize this along with their obvious account number, then perfect themselves with a true effort. they should utilize their popularity.
Anyone can see the opportunity for a well balance risk free option base dating site. I would join but it seems there is no effort to improve the many issues. To bad they were almost there. I'll wait.

They are "utilize their popularity." 25 million times 20+ dollars a month. So they lose a member or two. Where do you think all these "new" dating web sites are coming from? Now, if I was a programmer?
