Match.com Review

Site Overview:

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. Registration is free, 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 gives a 6 month guarantee, but it is important to check the terms of this agreement carefully. Make sure to read over the fine print or you may have discovered you have missed out.  Reports 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.
