Please do NOT waste your money on this dating site. It is the worst dating site ever. Very Slow, Full of old profiles, the Advance search is extremely bad and guess what you can not email as many people as you want. If you have some money to waste, go ahead and get a membership with matchmaker.com, you will regret it.

I'm going through these dating/matchmaking sites, trying to find one that's not a complete waste of time, money and energy. I've been on MatchMaker now for about two weeks. I first impression is that it is much better than the competition I have tried. Their profiles give you a lot more useful information about people than the others, though they do have some rather stupid questions that that only a teenager would really care about -- I mean, really, do you really care if a woman's favorite movie is Pretty Woman and her favorite actor is Brad Pitt? Still, if somene takes a few minutes to fill out the entire profile, giving it a bit of thought, you can get a pretty good first impression. The interface is good and intuitive. The most klugey part of it is the email archive, which has some good features, but is a tad cumbersome. I like that when a new message comes in for you, the Mail icon starts flashing. MatchMaker does have the same downside that all the rest of them seem to have, in that there are a lot of people there just to play games. Any of you out there who've tried these services know what I'm talking about. You open communication or someone opens communications with you, thre is two or three email exchanges where there's little more than some getting-to-know-you chit-chat and then NOTHING. Luckily, once you've done this for a little while, you can pretty much tell by the way someone expresses himself or herself whether or not you're dealing with a shallow, superficial basket case or someone who is real. I read in these reviews a lot of women talk about the players on these sites. No doubt there are as many players on dating sites as there are in any club. Hint ladies: if the guy sounds to good to be true, if his profile is just a little too slick, if he seems just a bit too flirty and charming, he's probably a player. The guy you are looking for is probably going to be just as nervous and unsure of himself as you are. If you put in your profile that you are looking for a confident man, (silly, silly, silly .. since most of us are, just not about all things and at all times), you are going to attract the players. One more thing, ladies. Don't be so passive. Engage yourself in the process. If you read the profile of a guy you might like, send him a message and let him know! We men find it very flattering when a woman makes the first move. It doesn't happen very often and we end up having to drive the whole process. The majority of the time we get blown off -- for a player. OK, we understand that that's part of the game. But after awhile, we nice guys, the ones you all say you are looking for, get discouraged and go away. The players will never go away.

My favorite matchmaking site overall, but they've gone from being great to being good in the last 5 years by taking away many of the important multiple choice questions, making searches muss less powerful.

I think this site is great! I actually know 2 people, one being my brother, who have met people on here and now are happily married. It is a little pricey, but I it gives you your a great shot at meeting someone that is someone more to your liking. It has questions on your likes and dislikes and it can match someone to your same specs. Also, finding someone at a bar is just as dangerous as finding someone online. I think you have to use your brain either way.
