AJ, enjoying life with C.
I had to chuckle at your reply. I currently live in CT, but grew up on LI. SO I know exactly waht you're saying about the LIE!!!
But my problem is in reverse. eHarmony sends me matches from LI and Manhattan. Yep, if I was a crow it would work out just fine!
But to the OP...This is my second stint on EH in 3 years and I am not going back. The first time I received plenty of matches and had many dates. Met my last relationship there which has me questioning they're psycho test. The guy cheated on me, but I guess if you're smart you can manipulate those questions!
This time, however, I've had maybe 20 matches in 5 months. One guy was a motorcycle enthusiast. One guy loved winter and skiing. None of those things appeal to me at all. I've received matches that were "devout" in whatever religion thay are and I am "spiritual but not religious".
And yes, they have gone as much as 10 to 15 miles outside my geographical preference. I mapped it on Yahoo!
IMO, I think they're loosing it so to speak.
I say give it a try and if it doesn't work for you, you can always cancel.
Good luck!
Yeah its definitely NOT economical and I agree about certain criteria being able to be matched as far as height etc and so forth one of the things I touched on in the survey they give, also in their "children" section they write "How many children under the age of 18 do you have living with you full time" so most of the men choose none because of course most of the men don't have them living with them full time, and so all you see is "Have Children" NO in their profile at the top and then go down to read all about their children in their all about me section, what if you specifically only wanted to date people with no children and you were searching on that little bit of information, you really have to be dilligent about reading every profile word for word and not just skimming because I've had that happen several times so then I went back into the settings section and figured out why so many are answering NO to the Have children question but then talkign about their children in the all about me section because eharmony has made the "question" impossible to answer. It shouldn't matter whether the children are living with them full time or not, they still have them right? LOL
I always tell people to give the sites a chance, go to dealtakers.com they always have deals for people signing up for the first time for eharmony, some people LOVE match.com and I happen to hate it, I particularly don't LOVE any online dating, I think it's an unnecessary evil of dating in this generation unfortunately but I truly feel like a piece of meat on display for others to choose from but whatever you gotta do what you gotta do. LOL
Smile,
Deirdre
