In comparison to other dating sites, and based on the reliability of Match, it is safe to say that the premium cost of the website is average. These are the rates:

At match.com, when you see someone you cant even get if person is real or what. And you cant talk to anyone if you don’t pay them. They always wants you to pay but it doesn’t mater if you pay or not there are no one to talk to because many profiles are fake. And peeps there want you to pay for them so they can message you, that’s nonesense. Also be sure to stop your subscribe cause if you do not they will charge you again and again and you even won’t know about this
