Con Cumbersome messaging system
Match treats "instant messages" and "email" differently. Both systems are sluggish, and have poorly designed UIs. The email system also requires you to keep "refreshing" the page. Needs an overhaul.
Con Requires users to publish their real name
Con Hard to find messages
They removed the inbox. You get an email saying there was a message, but not the message. You now have to find the profile of the person who messaged you to see the message. This is not easy.
Con Turning into Tinder
The DoubleTake feature means most Likes are now superficial snap judgements.
