The secret reasons people leave dating sites

February 24th, 2010 by Dustin

You ever wonder why people cancel their accounts on dating sites?  Well, I don’t!  I get to read this stuff everyday.  On DateHookup, when someone cancels their account, I ask them why they are canceling. Below are the reasons people gave.  This is from one day’s worth of cancelations.  This includes the people that liked the site, hated the site, and everything in-between.

WARNING: This is completely un-edited and un-censored.  Sometimes people say some highly offensive things so if you are easily offended you should not read this.

“Please let us know the reason you are canceling your account:”

i met a great guy on here and i love him very much we are great for each other and i am very happy with him he loves me for me this is a great site to meet good people at thanks alot.

I found love thanks to your site! I no longer need your services. Thankyou so much.

I am quite satisfyied with the person I have met and i wish to discontinue my account.

I met someone wonderful on this site, and no longer want to be on it, I am not going to say who I met, but I am very pleased!

dont want trace of identity. thanx 4 everything.

This site was everything I expected! I hope you have more success stories.

I enjoyed the site and appreciate it good bye

please take my picture off here and all my account thank you

I met the love of my life.

:O)

lot of fake users

Thank You for let me to be there …

The men I have met are not interested in the same quality of relationship I am.

I don’t have any success finding any girls in Howard County MD I have given up.

Very few local people, Meebo bar makes the site very slow – better sites out there offering more…

I have been on this site for a long time. No success at all..

Every single guy on here is basically looking for a one night hookup, It is basically a website for singles who do not want a relationship. Its a meatmarket

I am looking for a serious relationship not bootie calls, I have not dated in a while and I don’t know if things have changed that much , but where are the gentlemen? are there any out there? have they forgotten how to talk to women, that we are not their mail friends? it takes work and a few dates to get to that part in some cases many many dates, but thank you for your time and your forums.

too many haters

nothing you could change

nothing good to say

Thank you. =]

This site is as user friendly as others like Okcupid.com or even plentyoffish.com I jsut got really annoyed with it.

This site is great. It’s me – I’m not ready for one-on-one with anybody, so I’m just wasting the time of anybody that contacts me. Thank you for allowing me to be a member.

I actually like your website quite a bit. I’m just going to create an entirely new profile over the next day or so. I haven’t had too much luck so I’m going to start fresh.

I’ve simply chosen to stop dating. You guys are the best! If I change my mind, I will be back here :)

Good stuff huh? As much as I wish everyone who deleted their account did it because they met the man/woman of their dreams, the reality is most people don’t succeed on any given dating site.   There are a lot of reasons why, some specific to the site in question, but mainly because online dating is really really hard.  Why?  Because dating is hard.  How hard is it to meet someone in everyday life?  How hard is it to meet someone who you actually like and is actually compatible with you?  Hard isn’t it?  You fail way more than you succeed.  The same holds true for online dating.  It’s hard.  Too bad dating sites market themselves in such a way that they make people think it’s going to be super easy.  They end up with unrealistic expectations.  The thing I hate the most is when someone deletes their account because they just haven’t had any success yet.  It could take years people!  Don’t give up so easily!  It only takes that one special someone to make it all worth it.  Maybe they are going to join the site tomorrow.  Might as well leave your profile up just in case right?

    It’s interesting looking at the reasons people cancel their account. Do you offer banner ads still? Please contact me as I’d like to advertise.

  2. Jim Says:

    I think that a lot has to do with building self esteem. People like to feel wanted and these sites build the ego with no danger of confrontation.
    They can flirt with no face to face.
    Me, I just need an in and go from there.

  3. Zoe Says:

    It’s interesting to know that most people leave dating sites because they’ve already found their true love! and the reason “MY WIFE CAUGHT ME” is sooo funny! Guess he should leave that dating site than to have a quarrel with his wife!

  4. James Says:

    Been on different dating sites. But still haven’t found the ‘one’. I’m not giving up though. I’m a straight man and I know I can get a nice girl someday.

  5. Eddy G. Says:

    “My sister told me that the term “Hookup” has a sexual conotation. I did not know that when I joined.”

    There are so many teens out there who are so innocent that go to these sites. This girl here tells us that she’s leaving the site because of “Hookup”. I guess a dating site should make a category that those teens will have their own ‘lounge’ in the forum so they can chat with the same age and will not be harassed by the older members.

  6. Macy Grace Lipken Says:

    The reasons why people leave dating sites are pretty interesting. One reason that caught my attention is one that said to “keep 17 and younger off this site please”. I wonder what could made him comment like that.

  7. Korby Lee Says:

    People go to these websites to find the ‘one’ and some people just want to have some fun. I, myself, is a member of a dating site. I like it there because I found so many new friends.

  8. BrendaG Says:

    It seems like most people forget there is a real person with feelings at the other end. When they get tired or are uninterested they can just be a coward and delete them without warning and then shut them out, instead of facing them and saying so. That can be hurtful and confusing to the one who it is happening to. But they don’t seem to care or maybe not even to think of it. Just selfish.

  9. Judi Happel Says:

    Not ready. My husband passed away 6 months ago.
