“I have joined EliteSingles and have paid Β£149.70 for a 6 months premium membership (Unlimited communication & Intelligent matchmaking- you get what their computer system thinks is suitable.You are not able to search for any matches on your own, take what is given to you and pay for it basis, no search option what so ever).
This site promised that it has a disproportionate amount of graduate professionals and sophisticated singles, 71% to be precise. Everything about this site would suggest a higher calibre of potential mates, to cut a long story short,(shorter than the 30 mins it took to fill out a multiple choice personality profile before joining).
If I seem bitter about Elite singles then good.
30 mins of questions asking questions then to be presented with 7 potential matches, none of whom I remotely liked and not in line with what I would look for in a date and to make matters worse you canβt specify what you want, itβs all based on your personality and what their algorithm suggests for you.
I was looking forward to meet sophisticated singles above the average but my matches were carpenters, builders and truck drivers! These matches I was given I would expect to find on match.com .
Once you were presented with totally unsuitable matches you have to wait 24h for the next set of potentials to be emailed to you.
By day 4 they seemed to have run out of men and I was not given any matches at all.
To add to their choices they offer you a handful of wildcards each day, but unless you are willing to travel across the country for a date you can also rule these ones out.
Iβd give Elite Singles 1 star, itβs not Elite, itβs the most expensive at Β£69.95 ( 1 month membership Premium light ) and I think totally misleading in its ethos.”
“They claim to be a site which matches others with who they believe matches your algorithm however my girlfriend who is on this site was matched up with a person who had my husbands picture on it. Mind you, my husband is a celebrity and his picture is everywhere [this one has me in the corner partially cut off] so evidently they do not match you with a legitimate partner since their guess is as good as yours in a crowded room of strangers ... don't waste your money.”
