I have been a member with Match and it seems like all the women that I talk to are these stuck UP women that all they want are these TALL jackass/asshole men which are mostly LOOSERS!! Women on Match from what I have done with Match.com are all legit but just simply really STUCK UP BITCHES that do not GROW up and get into REALITY!!!! On the other hand YahooPersonals which I think I am going to rejoin I had so many dates through YahooPersonals it was great and women on YahooPersonals seem REAL and actually invest their time in the dating scene rather than Match.com a lot of the women seems like they just piss away their money only in hopes for their "BAD BOYS", Tall Jackass/Duschbags. WOMEN THESE DAYS WATCH WAY TOO MUCH TV AND GET A BAD PERCEPTION OF MEN FROM TV THEY THINK THEY MUST HAVE THE ASSHOLE TALL MEN. TALL MEN ARE NOT NECESSALRY BETTER AS WOMEN THINK!!!! Women from Match.com seem like a BAD BROKEN RECORD PLAYER They say the same thing over and over and over and over again and again!! It would be refreashing to see women on Match.com that actually think outside their (BOX) :) :) rather than the same ol same ol boring shit of (I MUST HAVE A TALL 6' and over even if she is like 5'2" which by the way is BS, THE GUYS MUST BE ASSHOLES, APPEARENTLY WIFE BEATERS ARE "COOL" TO WOMEN THESE DAYS.) Seems like women these days for some stupid reason get off on getting beat up if they come home from a date with a black eye or such they for some wierd reason get a thrill out of that and crawl back to that JACKASS/SERIOUS LOOSER. Anyways, Match.com women need to GROW UP, GET INTO REALITY and GET SERIOUS ABOUT DATING WHICH FOR A LOT OF WOMEN SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT'S WHAT THESE SITES ARE FOR!!!!!! If women want to pull pranks or be LURCHERS for their GOD FORSAKEN GIANT then go to www.ionlydreamoftallassholemen.com I am really dissapointed in Match.com.

They removed the monies from my account. After being refused a refund on the phone and e-mail. I changed my profile to expose what they had done. Threated legal action and to expose them on the internet.....then Instant refund. I ended my membership in November only to have Match renew my subscription in May.

They refunded the renewal fee the very same day. Dropping the word "fraud" and threatening to expose their anti-consumer practices seemed to work. Using a VERY stern tone and demanding to speak to the supervisor if the rep couldn't do anything didn't hurt either. Remember, no matter what crap they feed you about wanting to provide convenience, putting the customer's interests first, don't be fooled into thinking they care in the least. These are manipulative, unfeeling vultures of human desperation. They don't expect you to stand up to them. Best of luck to you all. (Follow up to previous post) Fought match.com and won.

Following lollipop's advice to John, I, too, did the following: -Called the following number 1.800.926.2824 -Selected 1 for general inquiries, NOT the cancellation prompt, or anything related to complaints -Got through to Kelly, a rep who politely stated that the auto-renewal policy was part of the contract to which I agreed -Made Kelly aware that I am a legal assistant for a major local firm and after discussing the "policy" with my lawyer friends, was urged to take legal action over fraud - She reiterated the agreeed-upon policy but did say that she would speak to her supervisor about my demand for a refund - I also added that I want something in writing to assure me that I will not be billed in the future after canceling my account - Kelly returned and said that she would refund my auto-renewal fee in 72 hours but could not provide a written assurance. I could write to the following address and/or email and try there: match.com customer care po 45272 dallas, texas 75225 executiveteam@match.com So...I'm not in the clear, yet. I will update to let you know if I see the auto-renewal fee refunded on my VISA statement. The point is that if this works, we have more power than we think. We can get our money back by not backing down and do our best to inform others to stay the hell away from this scam. Perhaps, we can also suggest places for lonely souls to connect online without paying a cent. A MUST-READ FOR ANYONE SCREWED OVER BY MATCH.COM

I just experienced what many of you have shared: the highly anti-consumer “auto-renewal” feature that supposedly appears in match.com’s contract. Following lollipop’s advice to John, I, too, did the following:

-Called the following number
1.800.926.2824

-Selected 1 for general inquiries, NOT the cancellation prompt, or anything related to complaints

-Got through to Kelly, a rep who politely stated that the auto-renewal policy was part of the contract to which I agreed

-Made Kelly aware that I am a legal assistant for a major local firm and after discussing the “policy” with my lawyer friends, was urged to take legal action over fraud

- She reiterated the agreeed-upon policy but did say that she would speak to her supervisor about my demand for a refund

- I also added that I want something in writing to assure me that I will not be billed in the future after canceling my account

- Kelly returned and said that she would refund my auto-renewal fee in 72 hours but could not provide a written assurance. I could write to the following address and/or email and try there:

I tried to cancel my subscription after the first two weeks of seeing what they had to offer - then I got an email that said I had to reactivate my account in order to read it - when I did - unbeknownst to me - it reupped my renewal and I just got a deduction from my checking account for $60. I protested the charge with Match.com and was told “Match.com does not have a refund policy” so in other words, I was tricked into renewing and even though as soon as I noticed it, I cancelled again, they still charged my account 3 months later. THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM - DON’T FALL FOR IT… Match.com is a scam… I tried it and found no one worth responding to.

In my perception match.com has a greater number of features and searching capabilities. Also, now Dr. Phil is getting involved with Match.com, I think match.com would win the online date service poll.

It's a dating compettion. One person asks questions to the candidate behind the barrier. And candidates reply and their answers show their personality. same concept but cool.
