The site *may* be legit (not sure), but it definitely has a dishonest smell to it. They have a normal paid membership with which only other paid members can *read and answer* your messages. Yes, as a free account you can basically do nothing on the site, not even be contacted!<br />
So with basic membership, you don't know if you'll match with *anyone*, as you also can't see who's got membership and who not. This basic membership is a teaser, after which you'll probably be surprised, and upgrade to premium membership. Because as a premium member, even free users can answer your messages.<br />
They also automatically renew your membership and they have weird rules as to when you should opt-out for this (can only be 24h after you purchased and 48h before the end of the period – this all seems like they hope that you forget to do so). → dishonest practices<br />
Therefore I chose not to go ahead and become a member. After a few days as a free member, you can't do anything on the site anymore: pictures are blurred, and you can't even read people's profiles anymore. → aggressive push for you to pay<br />
Finally, I read some reviews online from people claiming all the people on meetic are bots/scammers. I can easily believe this, given what I've described above.

The site is legit. There are some real people responding, leading to contacts on other social media. There are no surprises as to payments.
As a free account you can only be contacted by premium members. But you can look around on the site for as long as you want and other people's profiles and activity feel real.<br />
Price for premium membership is reasonable (CHF 20 for a month).
