| worth a damn, or just anti social and ugly fucks that don't get out? |
I tried eharmony, it sucked badly. I tried match.com and have dated a few nice girls from there, going out with another one next weekend (this one seems to be the cream of the crop, thus far anyway). So for me, I'd recommend match but stay far away from Eharmony. Be mindful that you'll have to put some time in, just like with real dating. You might send 100 emails to get 5 dates, but that's the breaks.  ETA: I fully admit to being an anti-social ugly fuck who doesn't get out. I also work the most unsociable schedule on the planet. |
That's the deal right there. You gotta remember that the guy to girl ratio is gonna be all fucked up on these sites. Once the female sets up her account, she's gonna get hammered with emails. She isn't going to browse and "see" your profile. You need to be the biggest spammer of your own profile. Had a guy at work that is all he did was constantly just spam spam spam. He got some action. If you don't, you get nothin'. Kevin "  "

TFC, lol. You should sneak that into your profile (or use it as your name on the site!) A few winners but boatloads of psycho dysfunctional cat ladies and big city cougars looking for Mr. Goodbar. |

Some article a while back actually explained how internet dating is superior to just going to the bar or wherever. You can be more specific about the type of woman you're into, rather than meeting some hottie at the bar and finding out later she works for Handgun control Inc. So basically the people who say "Internet dating? Ha! Loser!" are the dinosaurs who haven't yet "Got with the program" and realized as technology changes and evolves everything in our lives, that includes DATING. But 80% of the chicks on these sites are pretty chunky. Good thing I like big girls.

eHarmony is not worth it, at all. Some friends at work suggested it (I was new to area), but it was a PITA. They don't take physical stuff into account, so if your athletic and in shape, you'll still get an avalanche of "bigginz". I've had way more success just joining local organizations, co-ed sports leagues, etc. You get to meet people in person, rather than some BS they wrote online. Semper Fi |
Yah, I've already cancelled my ehar money account! |
Currently on POF. I was so close to going out with this one girl till I found out she had an STD. I send out e-mails but don't get anywhere. Oh well. Someone's out there. |
If your hunting in my area...we don't need no friendly fire, OK!

Nah, I live up north. You're near Bloomington, if I remember right? |
Speaking of stats, if they list any age in the 30's add 2-5 years. And 20-30 pounds. For Match, here are the weight classifications: Slender Anorexic About average Fat Athletic and toned Fat with a tan A few extra pounds 250-300 pounds Stocky 300-400 pounds Heavyset Heavy-six Big and beautiful Transvestite former longshoreman Curvy Can roll down the street like a beach ball Full-figured Al Gore in drag |
Heavy-six!

I met my girlfriend on matchmaker.com about five years ago. I was there for about a month or so and only talked to two girls that I really thought I wanted to date. Went out with one a few times and she was great but not someone I wanted to pursue long term. The second was my current girlfriend. She's pretty, really smart and funny, her family and friends are awesome and my family and friends love her, she's got a great career and makes plenty of money. We just almost couldn't be better matched. Two peas in a pod. If I were single again right now, no doubt I'd be doing online dating. It's just easy access to a lot of single women. You see a picture and get to know a little about them before you make contact. In one evening you could look over the profiles of dozens of woman who you already know are single and want to meet someone. |

ok cupid = scam (or just too many of them) match = dead (for me, nothing at all going on in my neck of the woods) Plenty of fish = lame everyone I've met there has been losers yahoo = little better off, 1/2 send "winks" (but could be bots????) and then don't follow up once you do send an email. eharmony = every "match" was someone I had ZERO interest in about 5 years ago, things were much better.. now everyone treats everyone else like shit and thinks nothing of it. |
NICE!!! |
