Match is one of the most well-known and widely used dating sites for all ages, with thirty percent composing of senior members.

This site’s matching algorithm uses your profile details, match criteria and on-site searches to find the best matches for you.

Like eHarmony, Match only accepts users who are single, divorced or widowed. For this reason this site is best suited for people seeking long-term relationships as well as short term dating.

A free membership in Match.com allows you to browse, but restricts your ability to interact with members or see who is interested in you.

Upside

The site lets you breeze through the profile creation process by checking off the basics first and later return to it if you wish to add more. If and when you feel like further expounding on your life story and getting into describing what type of partner you’re looking for. The site also offers online guidance.

Downside

Browsing is allowed for free, but you can’t make any actual connections without joining a paid plan. Don’t bother joining as a free member, since you won’t be able to do anything more than poke around, and you can’t actually contact anyone who interests you.

Our Verdict

Match is a world leader in online dating. With an easy to use interface, scientific matchmaking tools alongside a simple and intuitive search function, and hundreds of thousands Australian singles, they are a fantastic choice for long term or casual relationships online.

Match offers a middle-of-the-road experience, attracting the average, mostly vanilla citizen, who is looking for the same. Match is appealing to ordinary people who are looking for a safe environment to meet a normal person.
