It's funny, this really sounds like something the Bounce-Back Kid from Chicago, our resident car salesman, would have happen to him, but I know you're not him, OP. Your predicament, and how it went down, remind me of him, though.

I think if dating sites are reducing you to tears you probably shouldn't be on them.

Well sure, they don't want stalkers on there.... if a woman expresses disinterest, leave her alone. If someone does not like you, do you follow them around asking them why? - normal behavior means you mirror them and go away in the opposite direction.

Just date offline - it's been working for hundreds of years and it's still available.

That sux.....because she could've just blocked you...Match makes it easy. Dating sites are a great supplement to meet ladies. But....ya gotta get out there and meet folks. I met a lady via mutual friend....and while it's prob'ly not a long term thing.....we'll see.....she's sweet & lovely.


Get out there in your new town. Make friends. Have drinks. Get invited to dinner/parties. Fun stuff.


Dating sites are wonderful in that you go out and meet folks...by design. There are other avenues.

Well I guess all that questioning to her seemed weird and I guess she reported me to match.com for harassment. They closed my account.

I'm in a new city, no friends, no connections. I'm trying to find a gf. Match was a great way to get dates. It was working. But now I'm banned. Now what?

I've tried pof, okc, eharmony and even tinder. But I can safely conclude that match had the best quality of women and I got way more responses on match than the others combined. In fact, with match I could almost get 1-2 dates a week. Now I have none. On the other websites, I've been reduced to tears! On match, I could confidently message 10 and get 2 decent responses that led to dates.

Please suggest how I can get back on match. The morning they banned me I used another email to create a new account, but I used my same credit card. None of my 3 credit cards work now.

Will it work if I use a friend's credit card and new email? How do you think they are blocking people and recognizing if I would create a new account? Do they block by photos? Most likely it has to be by matching credit card names and running a query through a banned people database in their system.
This has to be a joke post, Ron.

I find it amusing when these guys say they have no friends, no connections, no social life... but they just have to "find a girlfriend!!!" as a first priority. Yeah, sign me up!

I've read that these pleas go on deaf ears. I still tried.

I'm now planning to wait 2 weeks and then use a friends' card to sign up.
So you ADMITTED you were at fault? Now you want a corporate business to FORGIVE you?

Of course they want to cater to women - just like drink specials for women - they NEED women because there are many more guys on the site than women. So, play nice, or don't play at all - their site, their rules.

Match.com is littered with fake bot profiles and scammers. I've reported a number of them myself as I've seen so many of them. Generally very attractive women don't have a generic profile with their profile preferences being vacant. There are a number of other red flags as well. Things such as not being in the area for a while, etc etc. Or best yet, the World Health Organization health worker working in another country. Also a ready willingness to get into a relationship early. Real women especially that are attractive test the waters first. So easy to spot after I've encountered so many disappointed experiences.


Absolute BS all of it. A complete waste of money to be on that site. Whatever they are doing to combat fraud is a complete joke.

Here's an idea...

Get out from behind the keyboard and go out and meet people IRL.
