I wanted to expose the hypocrisy of the dating site called cmatch.com. This site claims the following:
“Proudly Christian owned:
cMatch is managed and owned by Christians. We maintain Biblical values, and we know what you expect from us.”
If that is the case why is there constant harassment on their site for money? Ever so often one of these messages will show up:
“Become a premium member to give unlimited praise….
One month for only $10
One month premium membership for only $10
Three months for only $20
Our most popular plan. Enjoy three months of premium membership at cMatch and save 33%.

Wow you have to PAY to praise other members in unlimited fashion. Yet when you type the name “cmatch or cmatch.com” in an internet search engine here’s what comes up:
“Free Christian dating site cMatch” and on the headline of their webpage it says “Free dating site for Christian singles beyond borders.” So how could “Free” and “Pay” be in the same sentence? The answer is that they are obviously being hypocrites and are using the site for greed.
Their claim is: “We strongly believe dating sites are being used by God to bring Christian singles together. So relax and start chatting and e-mailing on (trustworthy) Christian dating sites.”
However, the verdict on cmatch.com is that if they are “trustworthy” they would not be behind others for money and they would be truly “free” as they claim to be and not lie hypocritically about it. Biblical values do not include being hypocritical liars at all.
The Bible tells us how to recognize a hypocrite including dating sites and dating site owners:
Websters Unabridged Dictionary defines “hypocrisy” as “the act or practice of pretending to be what one is not”
Psalm 5:9: “For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.”
And the Bible also tells us of the judgment that will be on the hypocrite:
Job 36:13-14, “But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath…”
Job 27:8, “For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?”
Job 8:13, “The hypocrite’s hope shall perish.”
Job 15:34, “For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate . . . .”
Hello Peter,
First of all, thank you for trying www.cmatch.com. The fact that you're upset about running into the limitations of our free membership, means we must be doing _something_ right :-)
cMatch *is* in fact free. Unlike other 'free' dating sites, you may (among other things) read unlimited messages and send up to 5 messages every 24 hours. We *do* have a premium membership (that never auto-renews btw) that lifts these limitations, removes the ads, and provides a few more perks. However, as a free member, you have a *full* dating site experience.
cMatch was born of a vision to serve Christian singles in an honest matter. We're actually *not* making money -- cMatch is run exclusively by volunteers. But we do have running costs that we need to cover. However, we don't want money to become an obstacle for Christian singles to have a safe and clean dating site experience, so our free membership is very generous, and our premium membership prices are very affordable.
We *could* use various techniques that would perhaps make us rich. Like flooding our site with fake/bot profiles. Or sell your personal data. But we don't. Because that would be hypocritical. And dishonest.
God bless,
cMatch staff
