Match is an online dating app and website owned by the Match Group that was launched in 1995 and headquartered out of Dallas, Texas. The dating software is accessible from desktop or on a phone or tablet via Google Play or the iOS store. Match works by following a traditional “catalog-style” approach to dating where you create a profile and then are able to search through other potential match’s profiles if they meet the criteria you have selected.
Generally, Match is known most for helping singles who are looking for more serious and committed relationships. That being said, there are quite a few people who still use the app for casual dating, which might be a turn off for some people.
Match is a hybrid dating website that offers both swipe-style dating (mutual matches) and traditional catalog/profile style dating. Users join the site and provide basic information and photos. From there, you have two main courses of action to meet other singles. One-you can go to the search area and look through a full list of people who meet your criteria. If you find someone that you fancy, you can send them a message.
Two-you can go to the Discover tab which is a swipe-style type of dating (similar to Tinder). If both you and another user express interest in each other, Match sends you a notification of the mutual match. The one main difference between this and Tinder, though, is that you can send a message to someone without a mutual match requirement.
- Founded in 1995 and is headquartered in Dallas, TX.
- Match serves over 50 different countries.
- The company is owned by Match Group, a company that owns several online dating brands.
We love great features and our Match reviews certainly had a good amount of stuff for us to look at. Below, we’re going to take a look at some of our favorites and the more notable features the site has to offer.
Upfront, though, how do the features overall compare with other dating sites? Pretty comparable, although we haven’t seen a lot of new features added recently. On one side you could say it’s the don’t fix what isn’t broken camp, but on the other side you could say it’s falling a bit behind the curve. Specifically, we’d like to see something like the eHarmony video feature added.
The first thing we wanted to do is show you all the features that come with each Match membership tier. If you’d like to know how much each of these costs, make sure to scroll down to our review section on pricing where we break all of that down.
When you click on the Search button from the top menu, you’re taken to a grid view of all of your matches. This view gives you a lot of options for sorting and searching through your matches. You can quickly change your age parameters and location parameters from the top of the page. Additionally, you can sort all your matches by the following options:
This is pretty awesome because they give you a lot of different ways to search through your matches. If you’re someone who likes to flip through and find something you like, you’re going to like these Match options. We call this the catalog style of dating which can be a nice fit for some people or possible overwhelming for others. It’s a personal preference thing.
You can also set your matching preferences to influence this list which includes things like interests, looks, personal details, and lifestyle choices.
Match presents your daily matches to you in a fun little format. It’s a “tinder-style” presentation, except not as blah as Tinder. Basically, they show you a picture of a match along with a mini-profile of that person. You have the option of clicking Skip or Yes if you’re interested! They’ll show your pictures to some of the same people and if you both click Yes, the site will let you know!
Even if your potential match doesn’t use this function, it’s still a great way to see your matches not just in a boring list format. Here’s what it looks like. Again, we blurred out things and removed the private information.
Match does something you really don’t see many other places in the industry. They attempt to take the online Country dating service dating experience offline. How? Well, they have what are called Match events. The smallest commitment events are webinars where they teach you tips and strategies to be a more successful dater. The next level up are their mixer events where the site hosts an event at a local establishment and invites all the singles on Match from that area. There is usually a small cost to go to the event, but you usually get something for it (not to mention the chance to meet someone special).
The top of the food chain of Match events are their trips. Match has trips all around the world that you can pay to go on where you’ll get to meet other singles while having a blast. Volunteering in Ecuador? Tanzania camping safari? Lake Tahoe Ski Week? Exploration of Israel? These are just a few of the trips we saw listed the last time we checked the site.
One other thing that caught our eye about the events during our Match review was that you could attend events in other cities if you were traveling. Out of town on business and have a few nights free? You can change the city on Match and search to see if there are any events going on there. If there are, you’re invited!
There is one new feature that we’ve seen added recently to Match known as Match Phone. With this feature, you and your match are given a private number that you can use to talk and text to each other. The idea here is that it’s a safety feature so that you don’t have to give out your contact information until you’re comfortable with it. We have not tested this feature yet, but it’s an interesting one for the security conscious.
