Ever tried a dating sight?

Post Reply New Topic

I joined e-harmony back in 2007. I swear, biggest waste of money. I actually don't know anybody that has had an over all good experience with those sites, either. I almost went on a date with this kindergarten teacher, but she changed her mind, then it went nowhere after that.

I'm on several- been having a lot more success than usual the past week or so on OKC.

I would like to try eHarmony, as I'm interested in the Real Deal, not screwing around (figuratively or literally)
but I can't afford to pay for it.... and I got rejected for membership, anyway.

I find dating sites a much easier way for people looking for certain non-mainstream qualities to find one another,
and get to know one another before meeting.

Wading through the masses vainly looking for someone with my values and goals who's desirous of the same type of relationship is an incredible waste of time, energy, and money- and I'm not up to it, mentally.

I simply cannot fathom trying to converse face to face with a perfect stranger about ourselves.

How did that happen? Do you have a felony? (j/k)

As for wading through the masses, I think I've felt the same way toward looking for a partner. It reminded me of trying to find a needle in a hay stack and the needle could kept moving.

It's extremely common, actually.

Commercial online dating sites are mainly a scam. I warn you to be very, very careful. Littered with fake profiles to lure people in and spend lots of money and never get any responses let alone dates.

Number of males online dating sites typically out number females by more than 10 to 1. Most of the female profiles are fakes to lure males to sign up.

There are free online dating sites on the net that are worth checking out and they will not cost you any money at all.

Isn't it more like 1,000 to 1? Typically?

I mean, while we're being absurd.

Oh that, yeah. That probably would have happened to me had I been completely honest during the initial interview. I just figured I could work past any minor differences she and I had, but I never found a willing she.

I had some success on OkCupid, as I met my last ex on the site and I have two interested suitors for me on there now. It's not any easier than going out to socialize with others but it just gives you a different perspective I guess.

As for eharmony, you would get rejected for all sorts of silly things, so I've heard so don't take it personally. Another reason why I advocate for OkCupid.

At least OkCupid is free.

That too! And there are fun quizzes on it. ^.^

I met one person on OKCupid. She was bat-uh, excrement insane. I don't get much of a response on those dating sites. That was the only time I actually met somebody in person.

I was also rejected by eHarmony.

I hate, hate, HATE, the whole process of making a profile on any site.

i met one person on OKCupid who was really cool...and had great conversation.

But she lived on the opposite side of the country in north Carolina....used to talk to her a lot....but now she deleted her skype and OKCupid so i can't get a hold of her =/

Other than that one person....i've tried all the free ones and have recently paid for match.com for a month (don't ask me why.....because i have no idea why I did)

Anyways....using my first "pay" website....has been very disappointing thus far.

I get half a sentence replies, and very few of them.

OKCupid is the best website in my experience....though it's still not that good.

Much of it is geared to be very superficial

Sorry about the dating site experience. I kinda had a gut feeling EHarmony would be a bust before I even plunked my cash down. But my friend kept up with "you won't know until you try." I can say I tried it now.

I met a few bat **** crazy women online too. Craigslist. They were pathologically crazy.

I've treid lots of the mainstream sites out & lots of smaller ones as well & I never had any luck on em

I went through the painfully long questionaire and at the end of the test they pretty much said "We're sorry, but you're personality is among the 1 percentile group of personalities and we can not help you" or something along those lines. I felt like crap before I went on there but that made me feel worse about myself, lol.

I've tried a few others but I always get these ugly fat desperate cows. Sorry, I know "its whats on the inside that counts" but......no. Besides that, they always pair me up with people who like to travel and go to parites. Wtf? I hate those things. So I gave up on that and have become content with being single. I'm now at the point where I don't even want a relationship lol.

Yeaaaahhh.........I got something similar to that. Though I could have sworn it said 1%....

Which makes me want to play Mudvayne's "Negative 1"
