Everything the above reviewer said is true. I'm a paid member and have been on for about a month. I can find out very little about the company. What I do know is this. I specified a maximum distance of 100 miles. That resulted in a 100 mile radius exclusion zone.

Of the hundreds of profiles I've looked at, only 2 have been in my state of TN. They were both in Memphis which is about 400 miles from where I live. Most profiles have been of women who live in a west coast or northeast address. They spy on their users.

Every URL a user post is rewritten by the web interface to route through them. They do everything they can to prevent one from leaving the site. For example, when I open a profile to look at, the resulting tab in Firefox covers the entire screen including the URL entry field.

One has but one choice to exit the profile - close the tab. I've contacted around 50 women for a casual chat. Every one of them, save one, was running a con or just stuck their hand out for money.

The worst one was this morning. I invited her to chat about 10PM. This morning near noon, I made contact again and first thing, she started a con. Profile blocked and the conversation deleted before noon.

They claim not to allow anyone under 45 onto the site. That's a lie. I'm currently talking to a girl 30 years old, more as an experienced grandfather than a date prospect. I've complained, only to get silence in return.

My advice is to run away from this site as fast as you can. I have a free account on ourtime.com. Many more hits and they're all within my specified radius. They're expensive and they nickel and dime one to death but so far, it's the best senior site I've tried.

Bogus contact phone number. Not Senior Match. This is a misrepresentation and is actually E-Harmony. Unable to contact a human being for questions to clarify anything about the contracts or services. Customer Service Chat is represented as a real person but is actually a bot that when you ask how to speak to a real human being, is designed to refer you to a page that wants a credit card number to charge you a dollar to..., I assume maybe, possibly get a call back from someone sometime in the future.

Also this website I am writing this on, states that free membership includes the ability to answer any response with a written reply. This is not true. So you can figure that the free membership with it’s blurred out photos and extremely limited ability to interact with any contacts is quite useless and designed to coerce you into locking into a multi-month membership that most likely will continue past the end date without notification, until you catch on and, God forbid, find yourself in a position to be trying to contact someone in person to cancel.
