How Many People Meet Via Match.com?

(Online Dating Industry Journal) An alert reader of Online Dating Magazine emailed the publication to say that online dating service Match.com lists several different wide-varying numbers on their site for how many people meet via Match.com. So we checked it out and sure enough. As of August 21, 2007:

Home Page - "Last year alone, more than 500,000 singles found meaningful relationships through Match.com's online personals and singles ads."

FAQ Page - How Online Dating Works - "Last year on Match.com, more than 400,000 people found someone to keep them warm at night."

FAQ Page - What Are The Odds - "...over 200,000 people met that special someone on Match.com last year."

Any guess as to which is closest to reality - 500,000? 400,000? 200,000?

Thanks for the heads up, "Yerky".

Just one more reason to doubt the veracity of all numbers on Match.com, unfortunately. They are, after all, the mainstream behemoth dating site. So, if they're lying to the public, then presumably, so are the other less reputable sites as well.

Please, please, please check out my site. FlirtySomething.com. It's on stall, waiting for traffic, investors, an act of God...

But, we tell the truth and nothing but. We're free until we have critical mass on site. We have only about 1000 charter members . But we think we have something new and true to offer.

Hello from across the pond!

Charla, love the site, The Times made me laugh, great fun!

I totally agree, it's so difficult to know what's true. I live in hope :-)

I too decided there was a different way, and started www.thedateoutdoors.com. We're UK based, totally genuine and are providing a more relaxed approach! Check it out.....all feedback welcome.

Wishing you all lots of luck

Still many people cannot meet an ideal partner on many large dating site, such as match. So some niche dating sites are popular, like tallhub.com, tall people may like it because they can meet someone in the same style.
