Match.com Review

Match.com is the sister site to chemistry.com. As one of the biggest players in the dating industry, there is a higher chance of finding people in your area than some of the smaller sites. It is free to sign up, but as usual; it comes with limited functions. Occasionally, free trials and big discounts are given when you register, even if you don’t subscribe immediately.

The site stands by a 6 month guarantee, but it is important to read over the terms of this agreement carefully. Reading over the fine print will ensure that you haven’t missed out on any features you might be eligible for.  Claims have been made of recurring membership payments being taken out automatically.  If you decide you no longer want to carry your membership, you should cancel in the allotted time frame. Depending on your membership level (free or paid subscription member), you may be able to use the following functions:

  • Create a profile, inclusive of photo uploading
  • Search for potential dates, using a wide variety of criteria including match words (like keywords)
  • Browse profiles
  • Yes/No/Maybe function. If you click ‘yes’ then the other person receives an email telling them you’re interested
