Ok girls..I've done it again.. I've just put myself on PerfectMatch.com. I know.. I know, I can hear the heads shaking already....(i'm so ashamed)But I just can't help myself..I'm in that "spring is here" mode.. and I'm curious (yet again) about what's out there..

However, ;) I was wondering if anyone has tried this site yet? It kind of acts like e-harmony, so I'm hoping that I'm going to get a better selection of men...We'll see.

If anyone has any experience with this site, all the input will be appreciated....
Thanks!

Perfect Match was a big waste of time and money! The men there were just as horrible as all the other sites. I've had nothing but negative experiences with OLD dating and that's why I don't do it anymore. A small number of people have some sucess with it, so maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones. Don't feel bad about doing it though, I did it too. Plenty of times and plenty of sites because I had no other way of meeting men.
I have no friends and no social life, so I though it would be a good way to meet people, boy was I wrong ! Games, lies, ghosting, you name it, I give up! Maybe I'm just meant to be alone, no biggie-I'd rather be alone than waste my time with a jerk anyway! Try the OLD forum here, very helpful with good tips. Arm yourself with the facts first, to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Best of luck to you.

I haven't tried perfect match. I have done Eharmony and made a good friend from it. We live too far apart to date and neither one of us can re-locate. However, I do know of 3 people that met their husbands or fiances on Eharmony. Two ladies were in their 40/50's. One was 25.
I have dated a couple of guys on match. One was a Jerry Springer episode. The other disappeared on me a couple of weeks ago.
I just try to look at OLD as a CHANCE to MAYBE meet people. You just have to be careful. Keep us posted on your search!

I agree with you totally... I've been on e-harmony,and a bunch of others.. I too look at it as a CHANCE to possibly meet someone.. I also have made a few friends from them as well.. I am very picky and extremely careful when meeting these men.. you NEVER KNOW! :)

We'll see..I was just wondering if anyone had any really bad experiences from it or some really good ones...

only time will tell..

:) Thanks for sharing.. I will keep everyone up to date..:)
