Real or fake?
Match.com is a real dating site. Using it will allow you to meet people in real life. Profiles are created by real people, and not paid operators. If you are looking for someone to start a relationship with, and are willing to pay for a dating site, Match.com could be the site for you.
Free vs paid
Match.com offers a free registration and access to some features without a paid plan. This way you can browse profiles and see if you’d like to invest some money in a plan. One of the most well-known features of this site is the matchmaking game, a questionnaire that allows you to see profiles of people you’re most compatible with. This feature is also available for users without a paid plan. However, if you find someone you like, you won’t be able to message them unless you become a paying member.
