REVIEWS OF UNMATCH.COM

See what others just like you think about the people that Unmatch.com has set them up with!

Well after reading several of the reviews on here, I thought it would be the right thing to write a review for guys in their 20's. Heck, maybe even girls searching for guys in their 20's will find this useful as well.

I think the site should be looked at as another avenue to meet people. I'm a positive person in general, so I'm not sure why you wouldn't give something like this a try. It's not like I suddenly stop trying to meet people other ways... you don't turn into a hermit when you sign up for this. It's just another way to increase your odds. Speaking of odds, it's going to be a numbers game. You're not going to hear back from everyone, just accept it. Keep searching and keep emailing. (PS. guys... don't wink. It's lame. Do you wink at a girl in the bar or on the street? If you do, you're seen as creepy). I probably have a 50% return email rate, but that's because I try to be original and not talk about the same crap every other lame guy talks about. If you've ever taken a business class, I have a question for you. Do you sell your product by marketing it just like someone else's product? Hi, here's a chevy malibu... it's just like a toyota camry and a ford taurus. No. You differentiate your product, or in this case, yourself. Stop talking about sports teams and saying "you seem interesting, I just wanted to say hi". Same goes for the girls. You know how many profiles I've read that say things like "love to travel", "like to go out but can stay in for movies", "I'm a great cook", etc. I'm not joking, literally 70% of the profiles say these exact things. So go out and be a little different. Show that you're not a sheep. Maybe that's just what I like...

Anyway, after that side bar, I think the site is worth it. It's similar to the real world in that you cannot trust every single person on there, but most of the people are on there for the right reasons. Don't take it personally if you don't get a return email. You can't expect every person to like you, your style, your personality, etc.

Finally, the point to make is that it's just another means of meeting the "one". Why would you not take every opportunity available to meet someone special? You don't have to stop looking or trying other ways, this just adds another means. And honestly, do you think you're better off talking to some drunk chick at a bar and getting to know her better than this? Good luck with that. Good luck with the site if you decide to use it. It's not a scam.

It's my first time using internet dating. Because my two high school classmates got married to someone they met on match.com so I thought I'd give it a try. But to me, it seems like, the whole on-line dating thing is almost like a different world. It has its own unspoken "rules," like what to say and what not to do on a first date and all that, which is different from the traditional way of dating where you go out with someone whom you've already known for a while and already have a basis of trust.

I've been on it for more than half a year - accidentally - because I didn't know that match.com would automatically renew my membership! I was "renewed" twice involuntarily!!!!! My goodness! They didn't even send out emails or notices or anything! I felt like it's more about making money for them. It is a pretty good business idea.

I have to say there are a lot of weirdos up there and you just have to be very careful, selective and smart. Guys are not always honest. They might be dating multiple "girlfriends" at the same time. They might be control-freaks. They might be too desparate to get married (trust me, this is not good, either). The bad side about internet dating is that it makes dating seem like fast food - you go on a couple of dates, and you move on to the next one very quickly. But you actually don't know the people you're dating at all....

I think the internet is a good way to meet lots of different people quickly. But it doesn't mean that it's easy to meet "the one." It creates the chance of getting into more wrong relationships, too. When you look back, you don't really need those wrong relationships. You could have spent the time to be with your friends or families more.

The safer mentality is to just see it as another venue to meet people and don't tie the knot too quickly and always keep a perspective.

I've read several of the responses on this site about Match.com and I have to add my experiences to the mix.
I have met several very nice men, one (55)...I dated for almost a year before he decided not to commit and seek greener pastures. I'm 46 but look much younger so I receive a wide variety of responses, men 29 to 60, but it is UP TO ME to narrow that range down...I'm polite and I try to respond to each response even if it is a "no thank you"... I'm a professional, I'm not looking for a "sugar daddy" or a "boy toy". Geographically, that must be narrowed down too.
Beware of scammers...they are everywhere!
I've met my share of "disgruntled" men and ones that post dishonest profiles and dishonest pictures but I'm sure there are women that do that too. I've emailed with potential dates that turned out they were only looking for a "side dish" and that is disappointing but it happens.

If you are truly looking to meet people it is a "numbers game". In one month I have been viewed over 1600 times, and I think that is views and re-views so that seems like a lot...but it's not. Of those views maybe 100 were within range... 50 "winked"...35 were appealling to me and 25 were willing to meet for coffee, lunch or dinner. Of those 25, I've had about 12 fun dates but still haven't met my 1. I think it is a good venue to meet men that I normally would not come into contact with and I'm not desperate, unfriendly, or "flaky".
I'm a psychologist, and I do have an agenda for a potential mate (everyone does whether you know it or not) but it is a "short list", it consists of honesty, drive, faithfulness, and a good sense of humor. I have found this many times over, but I also have to have the "chemistry", the zing, the spark, the zazazu...whatever you want to call it and that is why I'm still looking...
If you take Match.com for what it is...just another avenue you can take to meet new people of the opposite sex...it works fine (with a lil work on your part). If you want to be matched by personality, join eharmony...if you want a broader base, use a free site... Match doesn't really MATCH you with anyone, it merely "suggests" potentials according to key words in your profiles. The more you put in, the more you get out.
Now a few tips...
PICS ARE IMPORTANT. I agree with the poster that said leave the sunglasses, hats, etc off...I want to see you. First impression is sight! No pic? I will ask for one. I post a recent pic, u see me...I want to see u. Same goes for women, it's not being shallow if a man asks for your headshot pic.
SPELLING IS IMPORTANT. Since we are reading your words, your manner of speech comes across in your spelling and your grammer...if there are a lot of misspelled words you come across as illiterate and lazy, there's a dictionary on your pc afterall.
I generally join for a month at a time (sporadically) and then I cancel my subscription before each month is up and so far, I have not been re-charged.
Online dating is NOT for everyone, be smart, be careful and here's hoping we find our match.

I wish there was a way to post reviews of all the women I have dated from Match.com! (over 100 women from 37 to 54 years old)

I could safe you guys a lot of trouble and money taking out these BS artists.

I have meet a few decent women and have had some fun but some of them are just nightmares. Beware of the ones that have been on there perpetually for years! OR the ones that are on everyday. That has to say something about a women.

I am Kewld8r@aol.com and if anyone has a questions about any of the women in LA and surrounding ares feel free to write and if I know them I will give you an very honest review and my take on them.

Unmatch.com does not live up to it's name: Even though I specified Ohio - within 25-50 miles away from me - age 70- 78 - I have gotten " matches " from men as young as 47 - I'm 75 .

Why would I consider a match who lives in Alaska - Canada - Hawaii ?

Unmatch.com is just a LURE to obtain Money.

I do NOT recommend.

Dear men of match.com:

There seems to be some confusion as to why I haven't emailed you back. And, indeed, there's some interesting discussion going on here about why ... why these picky, self-obsessed women keep turning you down. I can't speak for everyone, but I'll tell you why I never emailed you back, or why I looked at your profile and never sent you a "wink."

1. You're old.

2. You're old, and you are targetting women 10-15 years younger than you are. (If you don't want to date people your own age, then I don't either.)

3. You're 35 and posted a profile pic of you flashing a gang sign.

4. All of your pictures are of you wearing a hat, wearing a hat backwards, wearing sunglasses, or standing very far away.

5. You mentioned, perhaps several times, that you are looking for someone attractive. However, you yourself are not attractive.

6. You are not distinguished. You are old.

7. Your profile pic is of you holding a child. Is that your child? I didn't read far enough to find out.

8. You posed shirtless.

9. You posed with beer.

10. You started your profile off with, "Gee, I don't really know what to say" or "I'm skeptical about online dating, but I thought I'd give it a try" or "I'm just trying this out," or "Never done this before, but ..." or "I'm just here looking around." NEXT.

11. You couldn't even wait until the sixth line of your profile to talk about your favorite sports team, and how awesome it is that they made it to the playoffs. (The goal, people, is to be as appealing to the opposite sex as possible. If you read a profile of a woman who discussed how much she loves celebrity gossip columns, imagine how quickly you'd hit the back button.)

12. You said you're looking for a girl who can still "rock a good pair of panties."

13. You're old.

On match.com, I read so many profiles from guys that are just junk--just a big, gross turn-off or, at best, boring, not serious, and obviously looking for a one-night stand. I have to wonder if the same guys here complaining about match.com women have taken a good, honest look at their profiles lately. Please, people. Online dating is a first-impression business. You need to pull people in with a decent pic--and no, you don't have to be a GQ model, just well presented--and be honest, polite, and positive about who you are and what you're looking for. Drop the stuff about needing someone "attractive"--it makes you look shallow, and it's a given anyway. Put up a picture of you dressed professionally (no hats), jettison the doggie pics, and just drop the weird, entitled, defensive attitude about not getting emailed back. No, not everyone is going to answer your emails! Most people on match.com aren't even active, paying members, or even serious about finding someone. It's probably not personal; it's just luck.

I've read quite a few of these reviews, and they have confirmed my suspicion that online dating services are for the birds.

My first thought is: why would anyone in their right mind pay money to find a boyfriend or girlfriend? I would not. Perhaps I'm too old school, but I'd rather meet someone in line at the grocery store or at the museum or at a baseball game.

My second thought is: if a person meets someone on Unmatch.com, and it works out, does this mean the site is OK, or does it mean they are two people who don't have the imagination to meet a mate in any other way? I know two people who have met their mate on this site--one married the guy and is having a baby in a couple of months, the other one met a guy and is quitting her job (as a doctor) to follow him to a tiny town out in the boondocks. Are they two desperate women, or were they just ready to settle down, or did they settle?

Third, and final, thought: nothing compels a person to be honest on these sites, which is a huge turn-off to me.

OK, I've said enough. I do wish everyone out there who is looking for love lots of luck. I've given up--I went back to school and got a Master's degree instead of wishing for someone to love me.
