Elite Singles

They promise you at least 20 matches per day and talk about how the quality of their service is great, but they are based in Germany, do not have phone support and just take your money and do not provide service.

I had to go to my bank to get my money back after their scam.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had been with this dating site for about a month and I think that it is enough time to get an impression about its quality. The first shock that I experienced was when I started to get matched with people who have only high school or "attended college." What makes someone elite? I specified that I was looking for someone who is a done with graduate studies.

Second, it keeps resetting the matches' location to distances that I am not willing to travel. I commute already enough to have dating become another "must-do thing."

Thirdly, it keeps changing the height of candidate males to people who are shorter than me!

Lastly, the age range - it does not let me set matches to specific age range but sends people who are out of my range of acceptable age difference!

Overall, I am not giving it a one-star rating because it does have a personality profile. So, if you are someone who knows what you want (not even race preferences are respected in this site), stay away from it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

There is no way that all the people on this website could be classified as "Elite," as I understand the meaning of the word. Also, the website is user-unfriendly and every time I logged in I had to change the parameters again. I didn't want someone who was 300 miles or more away! I didn't want someone from age 1-100, either.

Make sure you cancel your membership BEFORE it automatically renews. I canceled the day I got the email (one day too late) and was charged for SIX months. When I asked for a refund, they told me I had "no right" to a refund and would not give me my money back. I have used other sites and canceled, then given a refund for the time not used.

This site is just like all the others...just keep that in mind if you sign up. People just move from one site to the next, so there are a lot of duplicates. And don't forget to cancel ahead of time, or prepare to pay money for services you no longer want.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Terrible. Didn’t meet a single soul from this site, I’m questioning if they are really real live men! What a JOKE.

Extremely expensive. Trying how to figure out how to deactivate my membership and that is seeming to be a problem! I hate stupid crap.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had a very bad experience. From day one my account had some bugs that cropped all of the pictures I downloaded. I couldn’t pick my own profile picture. The one "they" picked the system cropped it the way that my face becomes two sizes wider! Than it takes forever for them to review it before you can delete the picture!

Then on my match list, I had multiple 2-3 profiles of guys with the same profile picture but different names and ages! How creepy and scary is that! They told me it’s another bug...my question is, how many is their profiles of me cloned with my wide face! Lol, horrible app, horrible site. And the worst is that after my account has been affected by all the bugs, the company won’t refund me money! I couldn’t even use it for a single day!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I used this site for 3 months, only contacted by scammers. They often change their names and cities but use the same profile pictures.

There is no due diligence checking profiles.

I complained several times and asked for a refund; they never would refund me.

Please do not use this dating site.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Elite Singles is a total rip-off, charging a hefty amount to have supposedly more professional (elite) members selection, which is not true. Selection is comparable to many other sites, and a much older set of people.

Elite also doesn't allow enough options in terms of member profile visibility, activeness, etc. This restricted my flexibility in managing my dating options. In finding and exclusively dating a person very early on into the 6 months membership I signed up for (for budgeting reasons), but still, in the beginning stages of dating the person, it would have made the most sense to be able to disable/deactivate my account temporarily. In case things do not work out, I could always reactivate/enable my account as 6 months is a long time.

Customer service was very rigid and not helpful when I described this situation, nor in providing any type of refund. In order for me to show that I wasn't actively still searching on this app so that the said person I'm dating could have faith in me, I had to fully close and terminate my account with no options of returning.

Terribly restrictive, conservative, old-fashioned, rigid dating app that I will never return to!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I don't doubt that some will have much success on this site, and I am very happy for them. However, the site is very expensive, dishonest, and it lacks integrity. It is dishonest about the number of active members, the total number of members, and the total number of active members are two different things, however, you find after joining that many, many of the members are not active members, full disclosure is important and it shows integrity. The site shares your photo on another site and there is no option to opt out. Is this practice clearly stated when you sign up? If so, I didn't see it. The purpose is GREED, if you see someone you are interested in you have to pay to contact them. More money for the parent company. No free or drastically reduced price trial membership period that gives you full access to all the site features, you pay a full membership fee and surprise, surprise, suddenly the members are not professionals.

Bottom line, there is no incentive to pay the higher price for this site, the quality and quantity of the matches are no better than the less expensive sites, they are dishonest and lack integrity just like all of the other sites and because of the pretentious of this site, you don't have as much fun, the freedom to contact members on your own whenever you like. Stick with POF, it's just as good as any of the sites and it is free.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

They don’t have enough members that they send you matches that don’t even meet your requirements. Lots of scammers. I had to report scammers in this dating site twice within a week. Customer service avoided to answer my questions and concerns, acted like nothing happened. It’s a complete waste of time and money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This website has very few subscribers and therefore very few choices.

Most of the matches I was offered were 50 to 200 miles away. They renewed the membership without my consent. Apparently, I signed for it and I had 3 days to cancel. As the notice went to my junk email it took me a week to send the cancellation email and they refused to refund me. In the end, it cost me over $300 for nothing.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

There is nothing "elite" about Elite Singles. Most of these people have no higher degree. An associates degree is not "highly educated." The caliber of the men in my age range is questionable...they are largely blue-collar. I was expecting educated, polished people like myself with master's degrees and doctorate degrees. The ad on TV is false advertising. I have nothing in common with these men.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
