Match basic principles
As they state themselves, their mission is simple: to help singles find the kind of relationship they’re looking for. And they’re pretty good at it.
They collected hundreds of successful couples from all over the world sharing love stories, sending invitations to weddings, and announcing the births of new babies. Indeed it’s no wonder everyone knows someone who’s found love on Match.com. So let’s make a short Match review.
How the Match.com works
The website gives singles the opportunity to express themselves through various free writing sections. Profiles may include up to 26 photos, as well as selected preferences regarding the person they’re searching for.
With the click of a mouse, members can instantly see photos and read about potential matches in their area.
While love is universal, the way people meet, court, and develop relationships is far from it. That’s why Match.com offers different approaches and features unique to different cultures.
Services
Match has an incredibly sophisticated search function, so you can get exactly the kind of profiles you want. You can search via Match words for specific tags (soccer, bubbly, etc.). Also, you have a reverse search to see who’s looking at you. Furthermore, you have a daily mutual match review for matches with shared interests, and location-based searches.
Also, there is a Daily Five – one of the most useful matchmaking options. This feature delivers 5 suitable matches every day based on members’ preferences. The Match review wouldn’t be complete without speaking about this feature. Match uses behavioral learning to learn user preferences, based on interactions and activity on the site. Then, it uses this information to make better match suggestions.
Why Match uses behavioral learning
The idea backing this technology is that people sometimes have preferences of which they aren’t even aware. Let’s say that you write on your profile that you are looking for white Caucasian women. Yet, when searching, you constantly like Asian women. The algorithm will pick up on this innate preference of yours and start showing you some Asian women in your results to provide for the underlying preference.
Security & Privacy
Match.com also understands the importance of privacy and integrity. All communication between members on Match.com happens through an “anonymous” email network.
The names and contact information of all our members are kept confidential until the member personally decides to share the information with a potential match. And to help ensure the integrity of our community, every profile and photo is screened by our Customer Care team for appropriateness before it’s posted to the site.
Match Reviews
I first messaged Susy on Match in late October 2013. Decided to pay for the feature that showed me when a user had read my message. She read it 5 minutes after I sent it. No response. So I waited 5 days and decided she was worth a 2nd message. She read that second message 5 minutes after I sent it. Nothing.
About a week later she wrote me, “Hola que tal?” (Hey how’s it going?) and that was it. It was like pulling teeth getting longer messages from her but it was a welcomed challenge as well.
How it worked?
Eventually we exchanged numbers and planned our 1st date for November 26, 2013. But as fate would have it, we accidentally bumped into each other at a nightclub 3 days earlier without knowing that the other would be there. We have been inseparable ever since and dated for 2.5 years before I proposed.
This was my 2nd time going on Match and I wasn’t really sure what I was expecting. After a couple failed dates, I decided to cancel my subscription. As I was fidgeting with my phone to cancel it, I got a notification that someone had liked a few of my pictures. Then figured what’s the harm in checking who it was and if I wasn’t into it then I would just continue with cancelling.
I took one look at her and I was instantly hooked. She was so beautiful and she took my breath away, so I decided to read her profile and was so captivated by her. I sent her a message knowing that she might not even respond. But she did!
Giving 5 star Match review
Fast forward to almost 2 months later, and she still takes my breath away every single day! Everything that either of us went through individually to get to each other was definitely to prepare us for the amazing relationship we have now.
She had only been on Match a few days and found me while I was just about ready to give up. We both fully believe God made us for each other and I couldn’t be happier. I am so head over heels in love with her and if it weren’t for Match, we would’ve never been able to find each other.
My fiancé and I met on match about 4 years ago. He was still in the Marines and I was going through the hardest time in my life. The day he messaged me we have not stopped talking sense. I helped him through his Marine struggles as he helped me with my struggles. We fell in love before we even met. He was everything I have ever dreamed of and thought it was all a dream.
Our Offline experience
The day he got out we met a few days after and ever sense that day we have been inseparable. We welcomed our little girl in the world in 2015 and now in September 2018 we are getting married. I have truly met my soulmate, my best friend. my match!!
My match review is 100% 10/10, thank you! Because of you I will be marrying the man of my dreams I never thought I would ever find!!
If I hadn’t gotten the push to make an online dating account, I could have missed out on my great love story. Jamaal and I have a lot in common, but we’re different enough that our personal and professional circles wouldn’t have brought us together for an in-person connection in a city like Los Angeles.
He contacted me on my second day on Match. I had written that “a smile is my rest face” in my headline, and his first message to me said, “I love your resting face. It suits you”. In a simple little message, he managed to compliment me and show that he read my profile, so I was intrigued.
Our online dating on Match
To say it was love at first sight is cliché, but our connection was instant. Conversation flowed easily on Match, and later by phone, but I think we did more smiling than talking on our first date. One thing we both knew is that we wanted to see each other again. The rest is history!
