Biggest pay to play dating app

Even after a subscription you only get 8 likes a month. They also show you accounts that are inactive for more than 3 days so you waste likes on people who aren’t even active. Make sure to check that before liking. Subscription is simply a gateway to buy more product. You get 20% off to buy likes. I’d go anywhere else but here since other premiums let you like more than 8 people a month. Hard to find one good match with only 8 tries.

No Fair Chance For Free Users

It’s complete garbage that I cannot message first anymore because as a fairly average looking guy, I am already being discriminated against since most women on apps are choose the same 10-20% of men. This is factual. Where I used to have a chance is the fact that I could use my personality to get women to match with me.

So that feature was taken away, fine. But now they act like I have matches yet never show them to me when I am actually swiping without me paying for premium. It’s like false pretense. Why even show them in the first place when I feel like I am being lied to about the opportunity. Just as much as you attempt to funnel me into buying premium, don’t you think if I had a couple of opportunities that were positive I’m just as likely to want more of them and possibly pay for it anyway, but not only that, also spread positive WOM to others? It’s become impossible for the average person to succeed on these apps without spending. To be clear, I am not against it. But I refuse to if I am being backed into a corner the way you do at an entertainment venue where you pay the price of a case of beer for one glass. This is not that. This should allow people to get some type of genuine experience and then if they want to go full force, they will feel good about doing it and in the long run, will make the app more profitable.

CMB is a good place to meet nice people who are looking for a real connection. It’s not as fast paced as other dating apps and has been my go-to when I was looking for a relationship. Over the last 5 years, I’ve had three longterm relationships, and they all started on CMB. My advice to anyone looking to meet someone is to put your best self out there, which includes making your profile look good, and do not be discouraged if you do not match with someone you like immediately. It takes time, like months to years, and many first dates in my experience before you find a person you’re compatible with and where you both want the same thing.

Thanks for sharing your story! We're glad to hear CMB has helped you find meaningful connections. Your advice is spot on—patience and putting your best self out there are key. We wish you continued success in your journey!

We’re getting married.

Almost 5 whole years ago I was sick of the tinder scene and wanted something serious. I was recommended the app by my boss at the time and low and behold I start talking to the first guy I match with. I know it seems crazy/cheesy, but 4 years later he proposed and now, we’re getting married. Your experience might not be the same, but I am forever grateful to this app for bringing me to my person.

Complete SCAM

How do they have 4.5 stars I live in a very big city and I see the exact same people day after day. The worst of all dating apps. Every day you see the exact same people from the day before - their data pool of people must be so small and Setting the parameters on your search and it does NOTHING. Their database of people must be very very small. I continually see every day the same people from yesterday. I will never again pay for three months ahead of time on any dating app Hands-down, the worst waste of money I could've bought a big bag of groceries for the money I spent on this garbage

The doom of a once great dating app.

CMB is really what it was before. You need to pay to see your likes, and barely having matches. And if there’s any, most of the time it’s fake profile or chat bot. Unlike other dating app CMB does not verify the profile using any way. I could not link my old account to the new app, but I decided to give this app a last chance and purchased the platinum membership for 6mo and now I regret it. It is not unlimited suggests, running out of the same filtered profiles in a few days while a few still showing up in the discovery and requiring additional digital currency (the beans) to send a like. This is just not a good practice and scam alike, just trying to get more money out of the user. And I guess this is how a struggling dating app looks like.

Is this what online dating is really like?

I’ve given this app a try for a second time and I do have a friend who found her husband, married 4 years fom this app.. the downside is that there’s not a lot of diversity, it’s mostly Asian men. If that’s what you’re looking for then this is the app for you. Other apps have more diversity hence my rating. Based on my dealbreakers above only had one person o matched with based on my preference in the 30 days of trying out the app again. That’s it. My suggestions are people I’d never date, people who don’t share my same religious background or want kids, it’s a waste of both our time to meet if we know what we are truly looking for.
I hope in time this app gets more subscribers, it’s super easy to use and the idea of bagels in your inbox everyday is fun and less off putting that the hours you could easily spend scrolling through other apps to find people of interest.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're glad your friend found success and appreciate your honest feedback. We understand the importance of diversity and precise matches. We're continuously working to improve and hope you find better matches soon. Your input helps us make CMB better for everyone.

Wait; what happened?!

Is this the same CMB just “new”?! ‘Cause it seems like the same exact app as the old one, as in, equally ignoring my dating preferences that I’ve spent time carefully adding into the app. The same app that shows my profile to people outside of my preferences, so I get likes from people I decidedly DO NOT want. I guess it is. Which, for the record, if the CMB product managers understood their jobs, would know that it actually harms the people who “like” my profile assuming I’m interested in their profile; I’m not. I WILL *NEVER* PAY FOR AN APP THAT OUTRIGHT IGNORES MY STATED PREFERENCES, SHOWING MY PROFILE TO PEOPLE I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN DATING. NEVER.

Changed to a total scam—here’s how it works now

They make it SEEM like free users can get SOME value, with optional paid extras.

Not true anymore. Now, if you’re a free user:

• Every person you Like BLOCKS that person from ever seeing you. Yes, really. Explained below.

• Every person who Likes you is BLOCKED from ever appearing to you. Yep!

All you do when you Like someone is send an ad to that person saying “someone liked you, pay to find out who!”

All your effort is SELLING IAPs, not selling yourself!

ONLY paid users can see who liked them.

So should you pay then? No, SO many of the profiles are fakes and scams, and THEY are the ones doing the mass Liking. You HAVE to pay to find out if the Like is from a real person. Save your time and money.
