About Us

Match.com has one simple mission: to take the lottery out of love. It's been the idea that's inspired us since 1995, when we first had the idea of using this new-fangled technology called the Internet as a better way for people to find each other.

Instead of taking the chance that you'll step into an elevator and meet someone, or that your brother's best friend's cousin knows someone who's perfect for you, Match.com lets our members take their romantic destiny into their own hands.

Over the years we've learned more and more about what people want – and about the tools they need to take the lottery out of love. With more ways than ever to help, we've come a long way since 1995.

What We Offer

The original Match.com is still the big kahuna. We believe that we've created more than a million successful relationships, but we don't have an exact number because no one was keeping track in those prehistoric days of 1995. Right now, we have more than 20 million members. That's a big number. Which is why we've developed so many tools for narrowing your search by every possible criterion. We go well beyond the obvious factors like age, interest and zipcode. You can even search by individual MatchWords to really zero in.

Our member profiles give you great insight into the unique essence of our members so you can really get to know them before you get to meet them. We're a real community – an overused, but accurate term – of men and women who respect each other and are looking for serious relationships. We're as diverse as America itself, even though our members tend to be college-educated professionals.
