What’s the matter, black doesn’t scream ‘warm and inviting’ to you?
Hooray for focus groups. :(

Very interesting changes. Looks like they are going all out for new member sign ups. You can’t even browse the search results without signing up for a free account! This will surely annoy a lot of people, and also reduce the quantity of ‘paying subscribers’, and make worse my main gripe with them. This is the fact that when you email someone, it depeneds on whether the other person is a paid member as to whether they can reply or not. So potentially, you could find the person of your dreams’ profile, send them an amazing email, and never hear back from them because they don’t want to pay for membership. Crazy. I even called Match once to discuss this, and they seemed obvlious to this - a fat cat at match.com is obviously very obsessed with getting as many members as possible, rather than actually making the current members happy - bad business sense!
I wouldn’t be surprised if they change this mandatory sign up process… keep your eyes peeled!

Pay to receive emails is a huge subscription driver and won’t be going away anytime soon.
