#1 Matchmaker is a fairly basic
Chris on 12/29/2006
Matchmaker is a fairly basic dating service and I must confess you are better off using some other site like Match or something. Matchmaker just doesn't do it for me. Hardly anyone responds to your messages and that makes me feel that there really isn't that many active members on the site.
#2 MatchMaker is nothing
Charlie on 12/31/2006
MatchMaker is nothing special. Join AdultMatchMaker instead if you want to be part of a great online community and have fun.
The MatchMaker site just plain sucks... period.
#3 Don't listen to the last two

Don't listen to the last two reviewers! MatchMaker is what you make of it.
Sure, AdultMatchMaker has more people and probably more fun, but if it isn't for you why not join me at MatchMaker? I like this site and won't be "better off using some other site"!
#4 Waste of money - in a word, MMaker is AWFUL......

My own fault that I didn't do my homework before signing up for three months.... I've asked to have my membership cancelled, but of course, they ignore my request.
Settings (age, distance, habits) seem to be ignored completely - the site does NOT ask what I would think would be important questions; about activity levels and political beliefs. I've been 'matched' with people over 2000 miles away, and folks who smoke, or aren't interested in my age group. The instructions they gave me about fixing my settings were useless - the only plus is that customer service does respond promptly, but other than that, you'd have better luck on ANY other site.... try PlentyofFish, or Singlesnet - at least you don't have to spend any $$ until you can see what/who are out there.....

#6 Serious relationships through winks?
Daniel on 11/15/2011
I am Daniel Oneal, a relationship counselor working for Introductions Inc. What surprises me is people join "dating services" offering winks, and 140 character messages, and expect to developer true, honest, meaningful relationships through these services. If you are looking for a weekend hookup, this strategy might work. But in my humble opinion, for true relationships to develop, you have to meet relationship minded people in real world, really get to know them, and nurture that relationship for a significant amount of time.
My company, introductionsinc.com, offer Singles Events and One on One matchmaking. We strive to get our members out of their homes and get them socializing, mingling and connecting with sincere, relationship minded singles.
