Match.com is the number one online dating website in the world. Love-starved singles will appreciate Match.com’s 15 million plus user base. Match.com was founded in 1995 making it the oldest online dating community on the internet.
One of the most appealing aspects of Match.com is the broad spectrum it targets as an online dating website. You have to be a male or female and you have to be over the age of 18. Pretty simple, right?
Match.com seems genuinely interested in matching up singles and helping them find lasting relationships. They offer multiple services to help users express themselves and provide support to give singles a greater chance of finding a great match. Match.com feels confident enough in their product to give anyone that subscribes to their service a ‘6 month guarantee‘. If you don’t find someone special in 6 months, you get 6 months of their service for free.
- Being able to search within a 5 mile radius. Nothing’s worse than finding the love of your life and then finding out they live in Zimbabwe. Unless of course, you live there too.
- Knowing when singles were last online. I suppose the only thing worse than finding the love of your life in a foreign country is finding out that they haven’t been online in 6 months.
- The helpful staff. Match.com has services that help you create a better profile, including choosing the right picture. The Insider’s Guide breaks down the steps you need to take in order to be successful
What I Hate about Match:
- Not being able to respond to messages without becoming a member. There are other dating sites on the web like Cupid.com that allow you do to this.
I usually hate more than one thing about a website, but Match.com has it figured out. The site is clean and easy to use. It is definitely worth your time.
