I found Eharmony disappointing as well. I only had about 30 matches, some women on here have had hundreds, but I think that's location. I had hoped that the time it took and the cost would mean more serious "applicants", but then they had their "view for free" promo going and... well, let's just say I didn't get past the 1st stage with any of them- I closed them all.

POF was a bit better for numbers, but I didn't really get past the first few emails with a lot. My first time on there I met more guys, but then I found myself being a little pickier about what was exchanged in the emails/ chats/ calls before meeting to avoid the types of men I had met previously.

In the end? Didn't meet anyone.

I have exchanged emails with several men. I have met one man and it was a disaster. Right now I am chatting with two men and we have had phone contact. Hoping to meet up with one of them this week.

I don't know if it is where I am, but POF around NYC is awful. I have never seen a bigger bunch of yahoos. I have only had good corrospondence with two men. One stopped emailing, but he hasn't been on the site, either (really sick kid in hospital), the other one seems to be an e-mail addict.

The rest...not to be a snob, but I am working on my second masters and guys who haven't finished high school and can't write a complete sentence keep sending me messages that are, no lie, things like "wazzup", or "hey, baby". One has sent me four emails about how he wants to tickle me. I replied that sort of start is not too enticing, yet he kept sending them (have since blocked him). Again, I'm not trying to be a snob, but what do these guys think we are going to talk about...or maybe that isn't their intention!

Also, again where I am, a lot of them are into the topless pose. Some should really think twice about that.

Lol about the "wassup" stuff! I mean, it's funny when you talk like that with your friends once in a while, but to actually meet someone?

I have had no luck with POF at all. I have met married men who have lied about being married, jobless men who lie about being jobless, and other oddball freaks. So all in all I have not had much luck with the site at all. Most men I have found in my area are on that site for one thing and one thing only...SEX! BLAH.

LOL I am so laughing about the can't complete a sentence. I have this one guy that keeps emailing me from POF. He can't spell and it is filled with all sorts of chat speak which after awhile makes my head hurt. His thing is he plays the *honesty* card and is up front about all his health issues. Told me how he has congestive heart failure, holes in his heart, how recently his heart stopped and they had to shock him back 5 times. Seriously?! You think you should maybe be worrying more about your health and not trying to date someone? So I played the *honesty* card back and said that I have three young children and an aging parent I care for and the last thing I need is to get involved with someone else that I have to take care of. Thanks but no thanks. Think he got the hint? Urrrggh.

Yes. I met EMT on it. But he is the only one I met. Talked to a few others.

Chemistry and Fitnesssingles has been disappointing.
