CatholicMatch.com Reviews 48

Worst experience ever for a dating site. False advertising and jerks at customer service. Avoid these fakes.

Hello! I have sent 3 emails with NO RESPONSE ! I’ve paid for 6 months of premium service and set up a profile but when I logg in the site wants me to set up another one-somehow my profile disappeared AND THE SITE WANTS ME TO PAY AGAIN! Please tell me how to find it again or refund my six month premium. This is the worse customer service I’ve ever experienced.

The site is stodgy..inactive and an utter waste of time.
The aesthetics are bland and unattractive.

The interaction between people is almost nonexistent.

The site never ever upgrades with a better look or something fresh.

The bottom line is this...it is a waste of money.

Fairly average dating site. I didn’t feel scammed/censored like other reviewers are saying, but I didn’t feel that the membership features were worth the price. The user base is small even in metro areas. Many accounts are inactive. If you still want to try online dating, just use a mainstream app like Hinge and look for Catholics.

Useless site. They monitor all your conversations and tells you what you should write.. If you don't obbey their orders, they delete your account. Also men and women are treated differently.. I created a fake woman's account and did the same things I did in my actual account and the results were surprising.

First of all how I do my intro to any woman in catholic match is non of their business.. They should get rid of their sexist policies maybe?

I would give zero if I could. This site is a scam and dangerous. Every single person who contacted me was a catfish. To add insult to injury this is a supposed Catholic entity advertised in the church bulletin. They take your money and never address a single issue. Do not waste your money or time. The Diocese of Arizona should not allow this fraudulent company to be advertised in the bulletin nor support their practices.

I think it’s wrong that you can’t even send a message to someone you like, can’t look at a message, or see those who liked you without paying for a subscription. Then the subscription price is ridiculously priced like we don’t have enough problems paying for other bills. It’s sad that you might miss out on finding your possible soulmate because you simply can’t afford the subscription. Also why should it even cost? It seems very unchristian to do that to people. I found one guy I liked and it’s hard for where I live and I can’t even send him a message.

I give this site zero stars

Wish I would have seen these reviews before wasting money on this site. There are approx 10 men on this site within 50 miles of me. Total waste of time and money. Why can you get stats to confirm it’s active in your area before spending on subscription. Almost seems unethical or say, unchristian!

I give it one star because it cannot be set to 0. Don't waste your time. Much less your money. By the way, if you don't pay you won't be able to do ANYTHING. Nothing is nothing.

I paid never got a response my conclusion profiles are false.

Their is no way to connect with someone effectively. and they expect me to spend some couple of $$ blindly without knowing what i am paying for. and the site is less active and functional, which makes it obvious that they only want your money. no good way to connect with active users

I am a very successful attractive older woman who joined the web sit to meet a man (a normal man) that has Catholic values. I’ve communicated with 3 of them. It was a joke. The first man had a “Im better than you” attitude Did not want to hear about my success. Just talk about his. Then he stopped texting. Bye!!!! Fine with me. The second one was the definition of creepy. He said he was married for 32 years and finally left his wife who was bipolar with psychosis and wanted to now get an annulment????? And that he takes pain pills…With 4 children…. No thank you Insanity. The third one I actually met for coffee. When I got there ( I was on time). he was already seated and had his coffee. I had to go find him. And then get my own coffee!!! He talked about himself the whole time. It was ridiculous. And just kept asking me questions like it was a job interview. And he was anorexic! Most of the men our out of my city and state!!! This is supposed to be good men and women with morals. I have not seen any morals yet. It did do one great thing for me. It made me realize I’m just fine by myself and doing great!!! Their loss!!

Most profiles are not active people. The 1 month premium subscription states "Message anyone at anytime" - this is false - there are very restrictive limits on how many people you can message in a time period - such as 3 people before you have to wait for quite some time

Do not use this app. It is so fake. If you want to try it they will announce a monthly charge and then charge you the whole year 119.0dollara...they are horrible with refunds. They mislead customers with their info on the subscription fees.

Absolute waste of spiritual time and money!
I'm writing a review on CM a year later. The temptation to find a spouse "online Catholic" is stupid. How often do us ladies of moral virtue want to find a husband and end up disappointed? A friend of mine found her husband by a non-Catholic site and she will be marrying him later this year. She confided in me how unsure she was of the marriage becasue he wasn't a Catholic. He's now a Catholic after a year of dating but she met him online. And you become who your friends' are as the saying goes. I wanted to have a blessing like she did but as a result? No. The absolute worse thing any woman can do is believe she will find her husband online. I only recently reconnected with another gentleman who has known our family for 17 years. His name is Andrew and after the failure of Catholic Match and Christian Mingle, along with those two Catholic men who FAILED my expectations, there's hope. Unless God says differently - Andrew is one of the most remarkable men I have known because in a previous review - I wrote my husband would calm me - Andrew did that no too long ago and rather than me exploding - I was so calm all I wanted to do was remain as calm as Our Blessed Mother was beside St. Joseph. So it goes to prove associating with strangers online isn't the most peaceful feeling then when you reconnect with someone you already know. Andrew comes from a family of 9 and he's quite a character. Previously too I was with male friends who didn't encourage me in the spiritual area. Which caused injury but Andrew encouraged me to return to other Sacraments by his example. I'm actually extremely anger with Catholic Match. Years ago they were accurate but no one can "match" a couple up except God alone. I feel better knowing I reconnected with someone I know rather than a stranger online. And you need to remember, ladies and gentlemen: marry the family and not the peers. I've seen marriages where they married for the peers pleasure but when they married the family? Another door opens and goodness knows how you would interact with the parents or other relatives. My piece of advice is NEVER marry for the sake of the peers. You'll end up disappointed and not happy. Worse if you marry either a father or mother in law who is controlling.. Andrew doesn't do that and he's barely controlling. He has his own mind and can figure things out on his pleasant Andrew self. Yes. I'm talking about someone who I know because when you're with someone you know you become yourself. As Jason Evert once said - Chase after God and after a while of running turn to the side and see who's running beside you. I kind of feel this way with Andrew. So I'm going to say it in a stubborn manner : Told you so! Catholic match you completely stink! Man I feel better with God's plan rather than my own! Waste your time on a person you don't know, ladies and gentlemen as well as your spiritual time and money! 100 dollars a month and no communication isn't worth it. God bless!

This website is a joke for several reasons especially if you're a guy.

1) Strange paywall settings where you have no idea if the person read your message or is even active.

2) Small number of active members even in large metro areas.

3) If you think you're going to get way from inflated egos and arrogant females think again. I'd sometimes message average looking women if they seemed nice to give them a chance. Many times no response or just one sentence responses. These women are delusional. I am tall, make 135k a year as a single man, am in shape, go to mass every Sunday, in addition to praying daily. In real life I get much better quality but tried the site for a month. I'm going back to real life.

4) So many fake or woke Catholics who believe in abortion, wokism, etc. Get the heck out here, why are you even in the religion?

5) If you want even MORE evidence go and read the forums. You will see men amd women who have been members for years sometimes even more than a DECADE continuing to post. If it worked that wouldn't be the case.

To all Catholics DO NOT give this site a penny. Talk to your priest and look for a match within your pariah.

Owners of this site should be ashamed of themselves.

Catholic Match Doesn't Believe in the Word of GOD :

That explains why Jesus had a problem with the Church ,, he had good intentions too help every one with the same Message over and over again and they CRUCIFIED Him...

Sound like we had Not Learned anything in all these years ..

Hi Nicholas,

We explained the rules. You are not allowed to send the same message to multiple women. Even if your intentions are good, it is still spam.
Sincerely,
Briana

This site is horrible. They just locked my account for no reason. I hope I get my money back. I subscribed and the next day they lock my account. Please do not subscribe. Not worth it. One guy was being rude to me and was judgemental. I don't know what was his deal.

CatholicMatch pertain to be a wholesome, catholic dating website, boosted by their favourable articles (written by their in-house staff no less) and forums (used by the same regular faces who don't actually seem to get any dates). There is something incredibly insidious about this site and it masquerading as a catholic one makes it all the more vile and dangerous.

It took me a while to discern what their scam was - but it is actually in plain sight. There is no differentiation between the premium members (ones who have actually paid a subscription) and members who use it freely (ones who can peruse profiles and 'like' them but can't actually message and read messages). If you're freely using the site, you shouldn't be bothered by the lack of benefits since you're naturally not paying for them. However, as a paid member, there is no way of telling who on this site is a premium member or not and thus, you could spend ages messaging people who can't actually read your messages!

This is where CatholicMatch's scam comes in - they won't allow you to be honest in your profile and tell other users that you can't read their messages. They reel you into their site, knowing that many of their users can't actually message or read messages. You're going to fork out a lot of money for a useless, dishonest site.

It's utterly disgusting that the site claims so much holiness when it restrains honesty.

Don't use it. Trust in God to bring your partner in a more natural way, not through the hands of man and certainly not through the hands of CatholicMatch.
