NEW YORK, June 10 (UPI) -- A New York man is suing dating site Match.com for causing "humiliation and disappointment" for people "who feel rejected when their e-mails get no reply."

Sean McGinn, 37, said in his federal suit against the Web site that it commits fraud by displaying profiles of people who are no longer subscribers to its $39.99-per-month service, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

Does Match.com have anything in its Terms that specify it is not responsible if a profile is no longer active?

The suit of course goes a long way to aggrandize his emotional suffering, blah, blah, blah. However, I agree with the problems mentioned. They manage the system (most dating/social type sites) so it looks like the numbers are much better than they are in an attempt to get paying subscribers. The numbers should be accurate and realistic.

If they send you an email claiming there is a contact or message there should have to be one. Instead they send these out to get people to login (improving their active numbers) and in hopes of suckering them into signing up for the premium stuff.

Same for the searches. If you send a message to someone you should know ahead of time, or when you send the message, whether they can receive the message or not.

Think about it. If I offered a contacts list of professionals in your area. I even let you browse it to see if you liked it then you buy it and find out 90% of those contacts are not even real. You'd be pissed too.
