Matchmaker, stick a fork in me I'm DONE!
| Thu, 04-21-2005 - 5:19pm |
I had become a non-paying member on Matchmaker and I thought (I KNOW I did) made my profile invisible because I got either weirdos or perverts on that site. Well, I went out there just to see if Mr. Clingon had contacted me through the site (he did a couple weeks ago and I didn't email back). Well, he hadn't but a 70 year-old whose wife "is no longer interested in physical and emotional intimacy" with him did. I read the lengthy profile with my mouth hanging open - WTF? :-) When I get home tonight, I am not just hiding the profile on MM, I am deleting!

Fine, go.
As long as they have medical and life insurance, maybe it would work out better than dating some of these younger dorks.
My latest stepmother is the same age as my sister, which means there is a 20 year age difference! However, I am with you...I prefer a guy to be within a 10 year age spread, especially since I have 2 young children! My father is too exhausted to be chasing after my 6 yr. old for too long! Then again, so am I! LOL

vexer...
cl-pianoguy is going to stifle most of his comments
Hi Pianoguy,
I can't understand eHarmony? They seem to have some very weird criteria? How do they determine who gets in and who doesn't? I've been with them now for a little over a year. I have never even had a date! I recently decided that their service is not for me. I think that if I save that money I can go on a singles cruise or something and have better luck!!! LOL

Hi Jennifer!
Pianoguy isn't an expert on eharmony.....but after taking their "complimentary profile" (worth $40.00 according to eharmony advertising)....I think it's based a point system?
In other words....each of us has to have so many "points" that correspond with others in order to be matched up!
OK, I don't see how saying that *I* would not date someone 15 years older than my father is cruel?!?! I am saying that is MY personal view and I am not trying to push that onto others or anything. The fact that I don't want to date a 70 year old and come out here to vent about it - how is that cruel!?!? If I had sent back a scathing email to him of "ICK! You are a disgusting old man, how dare you even contact me when you are 15 years older than my father, ick, blech, patooie!" - now that would be cruel. Doing the delete and ignore on that one and coming here on an ONLINE MESSAGE BOARD to vent is appropriate, I think.
I understand that each person has their own views on age and that some people might be comfortable dating someone who is 70 when they are 34. I didn't tell anyone out here that if they made that choice that there is anything wrong with that for THEM. It is just not for ME. How is my comment about what *I* choose to do stereotyping? If you took it that way, I am sorry, but it is MY preference that I was saying out here. And I didn't make the insurance joke. Also, that is fine if to have friends of all ages. You can learn a lot from younger and older people. The fact that I am NOT going to date a 70 year old has nothing to do with that! I am very active and young at heart. I don't want to date someone that old, but that is me - if you want to date a woman 36 years your junior or senior, more power to you and that is admirable. I am not looking for that for ME.
I have to admit to not getting most of your post and thinking that you really didn't understand me at all. I KNOW also that there are no guarantees - I didn't ask for a guarantee. I am saying that I didn't enjoy my experience on MM because it was freaks and perverts so I have quit that one. I haven't found eH to be worth the money and it is no better than any other service so I am quitting that one too. I have been dabbling in OLD for more than 2 years and found no one worth dating long term. If anyone knows there are no guarantees, it is me.
