Cons

  • Smaller membership base than similar dating websites (eHarmony and Match)
  • Higher subscription cost than similar dating sites
  • No more “elite” members than similar dating sites
  • Limited daily matches mean you might not hit it off with someone right away
  • You can only search the full membership base through the app
  • Low average rating from customer reviews

Elite Singles is the WORST of all!

By Michel Denault, Quebec, Canada, Verified Reviewer

STAY AWAY from this site if you don't want to feel like you've been scammed!

This site is by far the worst!

You're going to waste your time (not to say your money) filling in their stupid questionnaires because everything you will write in it will be TOTALLY IGNORED. I'm sure that they present you to every user of the site, 20 or so per day. Total mismatches.

Also, they have this random thing where they propose users that are 100% outside what you're looking for (hey, if someone would register its cat, dog, fish, hamster they would present them to you as partners you would like!). You respond or you delete forever. You can't "save" the profile to respond to after you finished reviewing what they sent (in a way, it doesn't really matter, in respect to what you specified, it's crap anyway).

Elite Singles are liars and thieves!

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

Save your money!

By Joe Jenkins, Pittsburgh, PA, Verified Reviewer

I have been on Elite Singles now for about 3 weeks. What a scam. Unfortunately, I read canned reviews online and paid the money for a 6-month registration. I should have read this page first. Elite Singles really sucks. Every time you go to the site, it has lots of "matches." However, they are within 300 miles, outside your age range and height range. You can't set the parameters to what you're looking for. If you do, they change them back to their parameters every time you log in. Very annoying. Useless.

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

It is a fake!

By Eva Z, Manhattan, KS, Verified Reviewer

Profile images are often scanned from magazines and other printed materials or copied from professional businesses (like lawyer and doctor photos), and often ads are forgotten on the margins. You will not get messages, and yours will end nowhere.

When I tried to verify a real person behind a profile I got an immediate response that this site is better than any other and it felt like an automated response rather than written by someone real. Profiles seem to have the same tone and scripture, just changed about 20% from case by case. I suspect they go after your high subscription fee and use your profile later when you leave the site frustrated.

They make money by catching new unsuspecting fish. It is a perfect scam, virtually non-provable.

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

Scam, lots of fake profiles, F from the BBB.

By Julie, Vancouver, WA, Verified Reviewer

Many profiles are exactly the same, and I mean word for word! The only thing that's different is the name and occupation. Scam.

Rip off

By Melissa Reynolds, Kansas, Verified Reviewer

I have only received a few match suggestions in the six weeks I've been a member. Those suggestions were ridiculous (and no pictures, which makes me wonder if they're fake profiles). I haven't received any suggestions in weeks, yet I sign in every day. There is no option to actively look through member profiles. They also made it VERY difficult to cancel the auto-renewal. Stay away from Elite Singles!

Waste of time and money

By Danny Ebstone, Raleigh, NC, Verified Reviewer

Elite is terrible. They send you "matches" from all over the country. They ask you why you are erasing "matches," and when you reply that they are too far away, they say "Thanks for helping us improve," but they keep sending matches from out of state, even though you have put in your settings not to. The profile test they use is highly flawed, absurd and inaccurate. Do your self a favor, run from this site.

This site is useless

By Andy Kramek, Hot Springs Village, AR, Verified Reviewer

I have to echo the sentiments of several other reviewers. This site is not what it purports to be. In the time I have been a member I have had exactly ONE "match" from a real person within 50 miles of my location. That turned out to be someone who had understated her age by ten years because she didn't like men her own age.

Other than that, nothing at all. "Matches" seem to from anywhere in the USA even though I set a 50-mile limit. When you do get a "match" all you get is the name of a town, not even the state.

Most seem to have no picture and do not respond to requests for pictures, presumably either inactive or fake. The search facilities are useless.

Despite their claims, this is the worst site I have seen, and I really regret signing up with it. I fell for the six-month "best value," and now find that there is no chance of a refund, even partial.

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

Deceiving company

By Nisreen, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Elite Singles deceives people; they automatically renew after six mounts the membership with no reminders. It's a scam. I don't recommend.

I was waiting for my membership to end as it's boring and not comfortable, but I am stuck for another six months.

Avoid, avoid.

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

Big joke

By James Eisenshtadt, Detroit, MI, Verified Reviewer

I got rooked for a 6-month subscription for $209.99. I have not had one match, one visitor, nor have I been shown more than five people from Michigan. I can browse perhaps 30 people all different ages, many with no college education and ABSOLUTELY no attempt to provide me with one thing for my money. When I complained to them, I was told that perhaps my standards were too high. What a joke!

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

Elite Singles are pretty much idiots

By Chasman, New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

Yes, unfortunately, Elite Singles are idiots. I don't care about paying $209 for six months BUT the matches are rubbish and utter crap. Sorry to tell you. The worst is, they won't allow you to have your say about yourself. For example, I said I like to spend most of my time mucking around and they did NOT approve that and rejected the comment. And please, some common sense, I am who I say I am.

And wait, there's more. They won't allow you to set criteria for weight. Well, I am fit and want a woman that is similar. My matches were a lot of overweight fat girls. What the heck!? Elite Singles are idiots, just in it for the money and preserving a fake reputation. YEAH, you could meet someone and I agree there are reputable people on there, but only because there is a price to pay and it's not free. That is something positive about Elite; Elite's pricing attracts people that are serious about meeting someone, which shows people are genuine.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a scam

By Liat S., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

The matches they provide are in different cities and even different states. The matches are random, not based on preferences such as age, height, location, smoking or whether or not they want to have kids. They are basically random and unrealistic. I tried to get a refund after 5 days of use, and my email was returned. I tried to file a case through PayPal three times, and they refused to refund my money. Do not waste your money on this site; this is a scam.

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