okay.. so i spent most of the morning filling out the VERY long questionaire for eHarmony... what impressed me was the personality report... i think it was right on... cool... and i feel like i learned so much about myself.. i also like how it explained the negative reactions that people can have towards me.. nothing is right or wrong but it helped me to understand why ...


So... if it can describe me so well.. maybe it can describe a potential match and actually work at matching people up... but nothing beats good old fashion chemistry.. and ya can't write that in a report.. can you?


maybe by the end of this weekend, i'll sign up for membership.... wish me luck.

OH wow - cool stuff!!!! I hope you sign up!! Keep us posted! They do have an interesting process - I was chuckling when I saw you write LONG in caps! And sure, chemistry is great but better still when it is with a good match, right? I mean, EH is working for you even while you are sleeping - so it can't hurt to try - and if nothing else is worth it for the entertainment factor. It is SLOW though. But you are younger and in a good area so hopefully that means not as slow for you - look at msmsavannah - she has a lot of prospects. Plus I think EH has more serious candidates who want a relationship. I probably sound like a sales person for it. LOL!!

Will you share (some of) your personality report?
Introduction to Agreeableness, You are best described as..., Words that describe you:, A General Description of How You Interact with Others, Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You, Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You?

are you curious???


Okay.. i'll share the parts that i felt were spot on...


On my agreeableness: TAKING CARE OF OTHERS AND TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF


You are deeply moved by the needs of others, but you know that if you don't take good care of yourself, you'll wind up being of no use to anyone. So yours is a thoughtful compassion. You strive to be fair and sensible, taking care of others while also taking care of yourself. This contemplative quality usually means that you'll arrive at a diplomatic solution, one that's fair for the other person and also fair to you. It's frequently a win/win situation.


I like how it said "win-win"... I'm always saying that these days....

So how long should i sign up... 1 month or 3 months? on other OLD sites i'd only sign up for one because that was usually enough time to see who was on and if i was interested in any of them... but EH sounds like it takes longer...


what do you think?

See if they still have a deal where if you buy 3 months you get 3 months free.

It really is a slow process - and while I think you will have an easier time because of your younger age, I don't think 1 month is enough. It took me 5 months on there.

Do you have a lot of matches yet? I think the thing is that if you don't pay you can't see the photos and then you are limited to just 10 matches.

Their personality profile is a fun thing - I am glad you liked yours. It sounds like you are having fun with it and I am hoping you can find a good match who appreciates your flexibility and your creativity!
