What Sites Are You On/Do you Recommend?
| Sun, 03-27-2005 - 8:47pm |
I'm on Match which I really don't like but it's the biggest one. I'm on AmericanSingles which is kind of cool because it has an IM feature. I also have a free profile on Yahoo Personals. I signed up with some of the Catholic sites because I was raised Catholic but those are utterly hopeless. I am not holy enough for these guys and for some reason only older men reply to me. There is something scary about a 49 year old man who has never been married and agrees with The Church's teachings on pre-marital sex. :-O
I was on another site that seemed to have a very low percentage of educated men. What other sites are out there?
PS: Not Eharmony. I have crashed their personality test twice. Too odd, LOL!

I'm on letsjustbefriends.com -- aka match.com.
Maybe it just seems like that should be the name of the site..
I tried Match twice in the past year and a half with virtually no success; very limited men from my area are on the site and the few that are there seem to be looking for an educated, making $70,000 a year, looks like Pam Anderson type - not that they are any prize, lol. I have had a lot of success with lavalife.com. Lots of local men; you can reply to e-mails for free, send smiles for free, profile is free (although I did sign up to pay for a few credits so that I could send a few e-mails too). There is a good number of local men in my area with a lot that I am looking for and I have made two good friends in the past year and a half and also have found someone I quite like recently (we are going out next weekend). I also have a few friends who have had good success on lavalife - one male friend is actually now engaged to a woman he met off lava and they are very happy and two female friends of mine have had lots of dates in the past year. I am unsure what lava would be like in your area (but they seem to be all over north america). Maybe sign up for a free profile and see how many people there are in your area.

PS: Yahoo was a total write off in my experience (but again, that is my local area).
I find that NONE of the online dating sites are worth a friggin' penny, truthfully.
I'm on:
eHarmony--began this 2 months ago. I'm not wasting 40 bucks a month for these "treasures" they think are worth my time.
Match--tried it for like a month, got one date, NO chemistry in person.
Lava--one date in like 6 months, it was alright, but no real "sparks". I also don't like the fact that it has the "intimate relationship" section. That freaks me out for some reason. Like any guy that says he wants to find "Ms. Right" could also be looking for "Ms. Right NOW" who likes to whip him while he's wearing a diaper.
Matchmaker--the site I've found that has the best-looking guys, but it seems I only get hit on by 40 year olds. Ewww.
Nothin' wrong with 40 year olds. Send 'em my way. Don't forget we have all ages here....lol.

Annon,
I've had success with match.com and it's by far the best site for me. I've had alot of fake porno gals send me a profile on yahoo so I quit that site. I've had no luck on Matchmaker and I had a guy instant message me for a bootie call on American Singles. Scary since I'm a guy....
By far the most humorous site I've posted on is Craigslist. I put my ad in the "men looking for women" area for two weeks and my results were as follows:
15 men wanting a bootie call (not joking)
3 women that were incredibly unattractive
Since then, I only subscribe to match. I have not tried E-harmony.

tt-
My craigslist results mirrored yours. At first it seemed promising but the people who responded appeared to be generally a bit flakier than even those on Match (hard to believe) and many who were just oddly unattractive - or at least it seemed that way since the photos were sometimes very old.
I have tried American Singles and it seems like all of the IM's I get the guy just wants to talk about how big they are and if I would come over to take care of their "manhood".
I have tried match.com and it seems like all of the men want skinny big boob ladies...
I am too interested what everyone else has found.
