I blame my phone. ;) Still, Match & Co. would do well to take a hint from Groupon - instead of coming out swinging, maybe agree to work harder on improving the situation for everyone, and take concrete action to quell the stream of complaints.

Both are entirely unhelpful and unwanted attention that reduce the value of the membership. It all comes down to signal to noise ratio. Is match.com doing anything actively to improve the signal? If eliminating noise isn't possible, it seems that would be the only way to continue to improve the user experience... From a legal standpoint, I think it's fair to assume they didn't push the victim off the bridge. But, they own the bridge, and didn't install a guardrail because they thought it would be too expensive.

I have complained to these sites for the following: 1. It is SO SO SO obvious they are posting fake profiles. It is about time something is done about these websites. Match.com and American singles.com 2. I've copmlained to American Singles numerous times about a stalker. They do nothing to stop this guy. It's gone on for MONTHS. They tell me to quit the site. WHAT AND be run off because of a guy who is SICK. They said there is nothing they can do to stop someone continually "hotlisting" you so this SICKO'S face is constantly at the the top of the list. They would rather collect his sick money and let him harass women. It's scary what they won't monitor. 3. I think people should be on the look out for people they know, and seeing their picture posted. I've had a friend where a dating site took her photo, long after she had quit and was using it as a FAKE PROFILE!!! THIS HAS TO STOP. I have had similar experiences with these online dating services.

Something doesn't sound right here. For years match.com boasted about 5,000 people signed up with them daily. How many of those are fake? When yahoo was accused of posting fake profiles, their dating site became inaccessible for several days. They probably needed to pull the fake profiles off the site. eharmony is another site that most people are unhappy with. All these companies are motivated by greed. It's probably high time we start supporting the Free dating sites. oasisoflove.com, and a few others are phenomenal.
