Match is shady...

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Tuesday, January 12 2010 @ 09:00 pm

Review coming from a male. I'm skeptical about match. Was a member for a year. Paid 3 month plans and a 6 month. Took a break between payments because I started getting skeptical. I think they were sending me emails of "fake" accounts to lure me in so that I would register from my free account whenever I wasn't on a pay plan. I would get 1 or 2 winks every few weeks. (This after being a member for many months with no winks or emails). So I was thinking... "Oh... I got a wink finally? But I have to re-register to see who winked at me." So then, I would renew subscription, and the profile did not exist. Then I would get random winks, and then the profiles didn't seem legit and would the accounts would be cancelled. Another thing that was annoying was their filtering method. I am very open to dating other races. However, match sends emails of women who have no interest in other races. So say I get an email with 12 referrals. You think, "oh cool! Someone might be the one!" Everything looks good... you scroll down more and more... and they just want a white guy. So you email the recommendation anyway, and you won't hear anything back, or you get a nasty message from the girl saying stuff like "Didn't you see my profile? I'm only into (insert race here) guys" Then I look like the idiot who can't read or doesn't care to pay attention. So my beef is... 98% of my emailed referrals that match THINKS I should have, only want white guys. I'm not white! So then I'd have to search for girls who like guys like my race. You can't search for girls specifically looking for your race. Now I know everyone tries to be politically correct and non-discriminatory. But... if a girl isn't looking for let's say... an Indian or Hispanic, then don't send me emails to recommend those girls if I am Indian or Hispanic! Also, you get random single sentence emails saying hi. You respond with a simple "Hi! How are you?"... and then never hear from that person again. (Usually happens with the really hot ones) But their account is still active. Does match make fake automated profiles to keep singles interested enough to keep subscribing? Another lame thing about match... after 30 days, you have NO clue if you had winked at someone already or sent an email to them. So, instead of match saying something like "You already tried to contact or say hi to this person... they don't like you..." Let's say after 7-8 months... you forget you wrote that woman because they changed up their profile a bit or pictures"... and you contact again.. you become the jackass who is just looking for tail online. So then... match charges you EXTRA to see if your email has been read. Great... you have to pay to see if a woman is ignoring you because they are too nice of a person to have to reject you or have the decency to tell you they aren't interested. Also, try getting a hold of their technical staff or provide feedback. And get a copy and pasted robotic email that has nothing to do about answering your question instead. Now I quit match paid subscription, but I left my profile up... and removed my pictures. So I am running off a free account, I get winks all the time. Are they fake? Most annoying thing... I setup an email specifically for billing purposes 5 years ago. Never had a spam problem. The week I register for match (because it involves money) I have an average of 40 spam a week now... Hmmm.... is it coincidence or did match sell my email address? Now I have to setup a new billing email because my previous email turned into a spam-AOL-like account. I really wish I spent my subscription money taking a friend out to a nice plutonic dinner or something instead. At least I could have gotten a great dinner out of it. Very disappointed in match. 1 year, I did go out on 1 date, the girls was great. Gorgeous But didn't work out ultimately romantically. Still friends though. I would never recommend a single friend to join.
