Overall impression of Match.com

Our rating:

5

Test summary:

Match.com is the best known dating site throughout the world. The portal was first established in the United States in 1995 and was extended to the UK in 2001 quickly becoming the UK's no. 1 dating site, with over 7 million people joining in their search for someone special since 2005.

The site hardly contains any fake personals as photos and texts are frequently and carefully controlled. Profiles that do not play by the rules or haven’t logged in for the past six months are removed. The price level is somewhat high, but in return Match.com offers access to over 60 million personals on six continents and in 18 languages.

One last point: if you are concerned about security when you take the step from online dating to meeting someone, you can now relax a bit more since Match.com started to screen users against a national sex offenders registry.

In our opinion, everything at Match.com is in place so that you can have the best experience getting to know your matches.

And now you can try the full membership 3 days for FREE to see if Match.com is for you!
