Total Scam
TOTAL RIPOFF!!
A total joke of a site. Poor coding, just because you're over 50 doesn't mean you're senile.
Match, POF, and OKCupid are way more professional.
A total joke of a site. RIPOFF! STAY AWAY
total rip off you are right
it is all a big guise to take your money and give nothing bak
Disappointing scam
This is the most disgusting disappointing dating site I have ever been on. The men are pure scum and frauds. They state they like your profile and want to chat. When you tell them to chat they either want your email and phone no. or do not get back to you. Many of them have their profiles removed for whatever reason. Most profiles are not filled out and there are no photos. Many of these men get down right dirty and disrespectful. I can't wait until my membership runs out.
Wish I checked these reviews before joining. Who is running this?
I have emailed customer service three times reporting these things and all they do is either send me the rules or say they will forward it and consider my suggestions. I am thoroughly appalled and would never return nor suggest this site to anyone esp. older lonely ladies. May the buyer beware. Be careful ladies. What a waste of money!!
because of this comment i will not join.
I also complained about the men that were contacting me. Our Time customer service gave me the same canned response, yet these men are still on the site. I guess if they can afford to pay, that's all Our Time cares about. They don't care about the quality of the people who join this site.
I agree completely. Emailed 2 times and got canned response, Don't even dream about refund
Absolutely agree. The same guys just keep viewing my profile and sending me these silly flirts and did nothing else.
they do not forward any emails or any kind of further responses...they are a f-----g scam and i am contacting the BBB and any other official to let them know
these rip-off artists should be stopped
great idea, Candy, I think I'll do the same!
Our time
starting to sound familiar. glad i checked first.
Any site that sets up Auto pay and won't let you cancel and get any type of refund you have to beware. If all you can do is post a picture and profile, but can not communicate at all without upgrading has to be something wrong - time to look a little deeper into it before opening up your accounts to something that locks you in - I am out before I get in - any more than my picture and profile. It's too bad, some of these local ladies I'd like to chat / visit with but not going to be forced to "upgrade" - seems OUR TIME is a little desperate?
i am trying to find a place to cancel my subscription
They will not refund anything! Wish I had read reviews but had not had this kind of disrespect on any other site.
call your credit card people!!!!!!! they will back you up i did im in dispute right now web site is a scam!!!!!!!
What a waste of Time
I totally agree with the above comment plus OurTime does not " require " that a photo be posted; therefore the greater majority of men that contacted me did not include a photo and many do not even answer the " Profile" inquires ??? However, OurTime Staff encourage the women to respond to the unknown !!!
only for entertainment
This is the 3rd month of 6 month agreement. I have cancelled after 6 weeks. Majority of responses are from social wimps who will say "write me". You struggle to construct a letter to open up some discussion. The fools will respond by saying "Write me". Same crap over and over. Do they have any desire to make a connection or are they inmates at some asylum? The only positive responses received are from gentleman so far away that there is no way you're ever going to meet.Is this by chance or intentional on the companies part to bait us?
Can you tell I will not be recommending these or any other dating site to my friends?
This best not cost me in the pocket book in overcharges and false fees.
Love the comment about inmates in an asylum....so true and the men that are somewhat good looking, and have some personality consider Our Time.com a playground filled with women to date and dump...(might be a better looking, richer woman next week....) And also, they are looking for sex, one night stands...not gentlemenly behaviour....and these are guys we wouldn't have given the time of day to 20 years ago!! Have had some unpleasent experiences....you know that Brad Paisley song "I am so much cooler on line!" Listen to, it so true and you will laugh!!! Thats the quality of men on Our Time and probably all the rest of dating websites....
Did you actually receive a refund? They blew me off.
Big Big Big scam stay away!!!!
Our Time was my fourth experience with a dating site, but it was the one that made me decide to give up on dating sites FOREVER.
I was wondering what turned you off to the site and why you thought it was a scam?
A bunch of losers men on there
but then aren't most men losers & liars. i'm going to hope i eventually just run into the guy i'd like to meet. maybe at the library, post office, who knows. good luck to all you lovely ladies.
Julie
From a male perspective I have to say that we are not losers and liars. I had joined the site with for the same reason that yourself and others, to find a compatible mate.. It seems that a few rotten apples are taking that opportunity away from myself. I now realize why contact is so difficult to achieve!! There are respectable men out there!!
Yes, there are some good ones. If only they had all their teeth. They thing just because they are MEN we should be panting.
ONE OF THE WORST!!!!!.......
I am a very attractive woman over 60 who went on Our Time....I, also, look 15 years younger than my age....Out of hundreds of e-mails NOT ONE suitable man to even date!!!....99.90% are unattractive losers!....The nice ones are completely unattractive to anyone....Sorry, but that's the truth!....One attractive man is afraid to meet me and only does phone calls! I met him on another website over a year ago and he is still the same...Surely, someone out there who is reading this can start a DECENT website for the over 60 set that are truly looking for a relationship?....There should be certain criteria that these men and women should meet so that we are not deceived by a lot of these undesirables...
If I had the money I would start one myself!!!!
I am SURE there are many men and women who are truly looking for a meaningful relationship...WHERE ARE THEY?.....
Please be careful using OurTime. They do not provide sufficient information to ensure your privacy. They do not alert you properly to the information seen by other users. I brought my concern to their attention immediately upon my becoming aware and I removed my profile. I requested a refund and they completely refused. My privacy has been compromised and they did nothing.
I also had many problems with Our Time. I emailed them and talked to them on the phone. They said the'd look into the problems, but nothing changed. They never even got back to me, other than to tell me how to block another user. I'm convinced that all they care about is making money. If a sex predator, unemployed and/or homeless guy can afford to pay the fees to join, Our Time doesn't do anything about protecting decent clients who are actually looking for a relationship from being prayed upon. I deleted my profile and I will never use any on-line dating site again.
BE VERY CAREFUL PEOPLE. While I'm sure there are some decent people on these sites, trying to find them is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I've been on several (Eharmony. Match, Seniors Meet) and all I've ever encountered is total losers who probably can't get a date otherwise. They're either looking for sex or for somebody to support them.
Thankyou. Appreciate the warning.
Thank you! So I am not the only one receiving "matches" of disheveled, overweight, scrubby, out of focus photos - must I go on??? It's laughable!
anonymous
I too am an in shape very attractive senior woman. The men who have contacted me or my "matches" (same ones over and over every day), are really in need of a personal trainer and some good decent taste and manners. I don't feel I am above giving someone a chance but this site is horrendous.
No Problem with this site
Maybe it depends on what area of the country you live in? I'm a quality female. I'm college educated, I own a nice 3 bedroom home that's paid for, I own a nice car that's paid for and I was able to retire at age 58 because I managed my money very well. I'm a decent person, very nice and have a good sense of humor. But I met nothing but losers ... several guys looking for just a quick no strings attached hook-up, several unemployed guys and several homeless guys.
When joining a dating site, I expect that a guy has a place to live, a working vehicle and some kind of steady income to consistently support himself. I don't think that's asking too much.
I'm happy yo know that on-line dating works for some people. It just didn't work for me. I tried Eharmony, Match and Seniors Meet before I tried Our Time. I've given up on on-line dating. If I was meant to be with somebody, we will have to meet the old fashioned way.
Al, as a man, you have very different experiences on these dating sites than women, especially senior women. The ratio of older men to women shrinks exponentially as we age. I just ended my subscription to Match.com because TONS of older men are still looking for much younger women. Those few who aren't fit Kathy's description--most just looking for a "nurse or a purse." Older women are "invisible" because we don't come up in searches, and men simply don't reply to older women if you contact them. I got lots of "Winks" because I'm attractive, so creepy guys (young or old) just troll through photos and don't even bother to read your profile. They just want to see who "bites" on a Wink without even making an effort. I used Match.com when younger and had much different experience, so I know by experience how awful this is for older women. Men rule in the world of Internet dating sites.
Kathy, I would have to agree with you that the best way to meet someone you might really like is "the old fashioned way." Obviously, one has to still be careful and use their head, however, you can tell a lot about someone when you're right there LOOKING at them. Just because we have such ogreat technology at our fingertips doesn't mean it's good for everything.
I had been considering this site, and in the past have tried other sites and, basically my overall experience is that there are too many opportunities for people to play games and deceive when they can be anonymous. Anyway, I suppose it can work for some, but my guess would be that it doesn't for the majority.
I'm glad I saw these reviews. A friend saw this site advertised and thought it might be better, probably because of the age group. I did see men, age 42, so I don't know why the site indicates 50+.
I just signed up for a one month subscription, but I have received no email about my being a member. When I tried to access my account, I was told it did not exist. I'm having bad feelings about this site and regret I decided to join it. Now I'm afraid they will misuse my credit card information.
Is anything honest these days? Remember "Enzyte" with the ads for "Smiling Bob" who had taken this "penis enlargement" pill? Enzyte was a scam, but by the time people starting reporting and suing them, they had made enough money to just pay off the suits and disappear.
Totally worthless!
I'm a high-quality 52-year-old male (whose only failing is a lack of resemblance to the love-child of Brad Pitt and George Clooney--now there's an image for you), and I thought this site would be an improvement over "Plentyoffish."
Wrong! While the pay-only format indeed weeds out many time-wasters, the site itself is a waste of time! Their matching algorithm--if there is one--is a sick joke: I live in New England, yet I get flirts from women in California and Virginia? And my search results occasionally turn up a MAN'S profile among the women's ones! Plus, you can't search by deal-breaking criteria like religion, education, body type, and others...
Anyway, most of the worthwhile women on OurTime are also on PoF (and, ladies, I'm sure the same goes for the men); you still have to screen out losers and users, but it's a free service. (I did buy the PoF upgrade, though, because I value the extra features.)
Don't waste your time and money; OurTime's time is over...
Not true I am also a quality 56 year old male and You can refine your search to your demographic area. You can also specify body type, religion etc. I find it very useful. I have been contacted by dozens of woman (there are lots out there) but havnt found the right one as of yet. Getting close though. Its a good site
Yes--I, too, have been flirted/favorited by numerous women--who live in California, Virginia, Ohio...
I live in Connecticut; draw your own conclusions.
OurTimes sends out flirts to people you have not sent flirts to in order to get more business. If you report this to customer service, all you will get is a "canned reply" saying of course, it is your problem..and that you need to change your username and password. Total rip -off and no phone number listed to contact them either.
Yikes!
I'm glad that I have read the reviews here... Wow now I know why I'm having such a hard time with this ourtime site, sure happy I have not wasted any money
And I'm going to close my profile out when I'm done with this comment...thanks!
amen!! i have looked at the same sexy guy that (flirted) with me 3 weeks ago still cant get a response REALLY! scam
Waste of time and money
You're right. They're either looking for a quick no-strings-attached hook-up (I received several outright requests for sex) or to find somebody to support them. I got lots of flirts without any messages. Some didn't even have profiles ... no photo and just a few items like height, hair color, and eye color. Nobody responded to any of the messages I sent. Nothing but creeps, weirdos and self-absorbed losers. I deleted my profile after 5 days.
Thanks Kathy. Your comments have been a big help to me.
I believe this site as do others 'make-up' connections and flirts and they also do not remover your profile even after your contract is up unless you dig into their site to find how to remove. So many of the profiles are not 'live' anymore. This is the 3rd site I've tried in 3 years and some of the same people are on all of them. Since a lot of them are owned by the same company, I think they merge members so it seems there are so many people on the site.
POP UPS
I have joined Seniors Meet.com but most of the time it is OurTime.com
you are right in everything you say, I have been in touch with the support
group, but at the moment am waiting for a reply. If I do not receive one is there any other way I can reach them?? I am now getting POP UPS when I try to get into the site, asking me to let them in "One Time" I am a senior and not up to all this computer "Lingo" I do not understand the POP UP should I let it in or not?? could they get my email address this way?? I want to cancel my subscription but cannot get into the site, every time I try this damn POP UP appears and I am blocked. Any suggestions?? Also not sure what I was RATING I assume it was the dating site and not YOUR site. If it is your site change it to great, because I have learnt a lot. Cannot believe what an idiot I was to believe all this stuff and that people were basically honest when they were advertising these sites and people. Thank you so much for letting me sound off.
Barb
You said it all for me also. There will never be refunds - ever! Wish I had read reviews before buying.
Worst Site Ever...Stay Away!
I joined Our Time for one month without researching anything about it, and I regretted it the following day. I joined at 9pm and I had porn emails in my email inbox by 9am the following morning! Somehow, my personal email address had been either sold to, or stolen by, porn spammers. I know this for a fact because I have had the same email address for nearly ten years and have never had any spam of any kind sent to it ever until the day after I joined Our Time. It's been two weeks since I joined now, and I get porn spam every other day, which horrifies me because I have a young son at home, and I would not want him to see one those emails by accident on my screen.
Save your money and your privacy! Join eHarmony instead, but if you do join Our Time, at least don't use your real email address unless you want to receive nasty porn spam.
upon registration, there is a very hidden place to 'opt out' of them using, selling your email for other promotional spam. I opted out and it didn't matter I still get at least 40 spam emails from other dating sites and other things. They make a lot of money selling your information.
OurTime.com is a SCAM and it SUCKS
OurTime.com is a pure, rotten filthy website. They have ads on the radio right now and I feel sorry for anyone who works with this company before reading the reviews.
Do not put yourself through the hell of dealing with this company for any reason whatsoever. These people are garbage and the owners should be ashamed of themselves for creating such a terrible, unsustainable and worthless business. When the CEO finds himself looking for a job (I have a feeling this will be sooner rather than later), he might not want to mention his work with OurTime.com.
Poor customer service, completely incompetent people and dumber than dogs.
It's just a offshoot of seniorpeoplemee but they rebranded so that you don't feel so old signing upt. I tried it and nothing stood out about it to me either way until I received notification that someone sent a "flirt." Of course one must have the paid membership to view who sent it. I signed up, and there was actually nothing there. For that reason, they've lost me as a participant and I'll not recommend.
thank you for opening my eyes , they say cream of the crop ,are you kidding me?
Stay away!
I am new to Phoenix, saw tons of ads for this site on TV. Decided to try it for "free." But how stupid--you can search on things like height and age, but NOT on religious or political views! Why would I care more about height than values????
The only good news (I think, since I have not checked out my credit cards yet, having joined only a few days ago), my credit card would not go through. 3 perfectly good cards were declined. Now, of course, I am so glad they were--and will be watching my accounts like a hawk to make sure they did not use my info.
I usually am better at due diligence, but I tried this in a moment of boredom, and am taking down my profile as soon as I finish this review.
this dating service is a rip off. you think you are joining for 6months,then in 3 months they will take nearly 54.00 out of your account without notice.I had to put a block on my account thru my credit card.I did call the the ourtime based in Texas the girl was rude,on jan.18 they charged me on the 26 of jan.I placed aon line message,because of 1 message they refused a refund.This is there way of paying for all those comercials on t.v. they are a bunch of crooks
I was also surprised there was no way to search on religion, especially since their Q&A SAYS that religion is one of the search criteria! When I contacted them, they confirmed that there is no way to search on religion. I can search on whether someone is Gemini or a Leo, but not on his religion? Seems ridiculous. I plan to cancel.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT OURTIME IS ANTI-MILITARY. I TRIED TO POST A PICTURE OF THE MARINE CORPS EMBLEM IN THE PICTURE SECTION AND OURTIME WOULD NOT ALLOW IT BECAUSE IT WAS "OFFENSIVE". THE MARINE CORPS EMBLEM IS IN NO WAY OFFENSIVE AND IT IS AN INSULT TO ALL OF OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE IN THE MILITARY.
