Match.com
Match.com
Launched in April of 1995, Match.com helped pioneer the online dating industry and now services 24 countries and territories and hosts Web sites in 15 different languages.
Match.com creates romantic opportunities so singles are more likely to find someone special. Over the years, they have learned more and more about what people want—and the tools they need to help “take the lottery out of love.”
With more ways than ever to bring singles together, Match.com has come a long way since 1995.
How It Works
Match.com gives singles the opportunity to express themselves through various free writing sections. Profiles may include many photos (up to 26), as well as selected preferences regarding the person you are searching for. With the click of a mouse, members can instantly see photos and read about potential matches in your area.
Match.com also understands the importance of privacy and integrity. All communication between members on Match.com happens through an “anonymous” email network. The names and contact information of all our members are kept confidential until the member personally decides to share the information with a potential match. And to help ensure the integrity of the community, every profile and photo is screened by Match.com’s Customer Care team for appropriateness before it is allowed to be posted to the site.
Match.com International
While love is universal, the way people meet, court and develop relationships isn’t. So Match.com offers different approaches and features in different cultures.
Match.com powers online dating across Asia, Australia, the United States and Latin America, and has been an AOL partner providing personals for Love@AOL for nearly 10 years. Additionally, Match.com powers online dating for Terra throughout Latin America.
Headquartered in Dallas, TX, Match.com is an operating business of IAC/InterActiveCorp (Nasdaq: IACI), and has international offices in Beijing and Tokyo.
