kitkat826 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I just spent 30 minutes being secretive at work and filling out their profile online, only to find I was not matched with anyone. Anyone use this before? I never saw myself as the eharmony type, but after spending Valentine's Day at home watching the entire season of Project Runway (I don't even like runway fashion!) I figured I might as well make an attempt. ' Well, looks like I'm back on loveshack.......I'll post more about my history here later......
che_jesse Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Heh yeah, I dont fit into any of their personalty categories at all. I did it a few months ago for fun and it said something along the lines of "At this time we are unable to place in you in any of our personality categories, good luck in your search". I had my hubby to their questions that same day and they matched him with slutty whores that he would never date. Dont let e-harmony bother you, its all bs from what I can tell.
VinaAmez Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Yes I've used it before. I didn't pay the $40.00 but I did the free profile. I actually did have lots of matches. Probably about 20. I never sent any hookup e-mails but I did recieve some myself. I couldn't believe that I matched with anyone but I did. I matched with some pretty decent guys and it was kind of fun looking through their profiles. They matched with what I was looking for. Just make sure if you go through with it that you post a picture of yourself. Many like to know who their talking to.
insomnie Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Haha, I filled that out for fun some time ago too and I got the same message. I was pissed. That questionare was like 20 pages long!
Star Gazer Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 WOAH - KitKat, where have you beeeeeeennnn????
the_total_package Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Heh yeah, I dont fit into any of their I had my hubby to their questions that same day and they matched him with slutty whores that he would never date. . I have done eharmony, am curious how you could tell from their profiles that they were slutty whores....did they actually write "I am a slutty whore" or "I like to sleep with a lot of men, not exclusively" don't get how you could come to that conclusion from the profiles.

Yeah me too. I've never seen that on their profiles. Unless when you talk they come off as that.

Picture of the girl in a bathing suit + "I'm just looking to have lots of fun and meet lots of people" = slutty whore
Topper Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 XXX rated pics in their profiles? just a guess. i did the eharmony thing. My complaint was the no picture thing for such a long time. Pulse they would send me matches from 1000 to 2000 miles away. I did meet one woman from eharmony in the long run we could not make a LDR work. Whatever you do do not sign up with true . Somehow I got a unlimited lifetime membership. i would say 80% of the woman they try to match me with are 1/2 my ag, and really not looking for guy like me. They send out false winks and flirts. True is very untrue.
Krytellan Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Hmm. I did E-harmony and that's how my g/f and I met. They nailed it.
glitzy55 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Only reason I didn't want to join was bc it heard all the matches they find you are like 5 states away lol
Topper Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 So move five states from where you are and you be right where all these guys are.
Krytellan Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 So move five states from where you are and you be right where all these guys are. Then they'll match her with all the guys where she came from
Art_Critic Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I used EHorny once about 3or 4 years ago.. It sucked.. They send you matched right before your subscription runs out so you will reup and they also match you with all the free profile people that can't communicate with you because they didn't pay.. The list goes on and on on their deceptive tactics to keep billing your credit card.. In my case.. 6 months of using it I only went out with 1 person and that person turned out to be a nutcase that kept a 20 lb Iguana in her bedroom and it had full run of the house.. she had to keep the house at over 80 degrees and had fans on her bed to cool herself.. That is the match I got..

Art_Critic Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Even match has questions about pets - didn't her profile say she had an iguana??? Not on Ehorny.. they match you and those questions aren't seen by the other party.. They give you only a few lines to speak freely..most of the profile is checkboxes of forms ..
Guest Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Art Critic, From what I have read of your post sound like she was the perfect match for you
roxy_1980 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I found that all the guys gave the same answer. The socially acceptable answer to the initial questions. No imagination whatsoever. So basically I gave up. When I called the customer service line, the guy accused me of not trying hard enough to find someone. The nerve! Probably a "retention specialist" like AOL has. They are just after your money.
Nanachu Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 My experience with EHarmony: - There are tons more men than women (true for all online dating?), so women usually get tons of potential matches, but guys have a hard time. - Location matters. If you live close to a large city, then you have a better chance. - I talked over the phone and met some of them. I must say that I have never met anyone who I cannot stand. I got along with all of them. Eharmony's picks can pass this level. However, I did not have chemistry feeling with any of them. It is not surprising since Eharmony is all about personality match.... Anyway, I could make good friends from Eharmony. So, that's your expectation, it could be good. - Good for lazy people. Some do not want to go through tons of searches which are required for Match.com or so. EHarmony pick people for you, so it is easy.
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 ... that person turned out to be a nutcase that kept a 20 lb Iguana in her bedroom and it had full run of the house.. she had to keep the house at over 80 degrees and had fans on her bed to cool herself... That is the match I got.. Art, that's hilarious At least it makes for a good story! I would recommend yahoo personals to anyone who wants to do the online dating thing. I like being able to see pics from the get-go, and I like being able to narrow my search results to near my zipcode, because I certainly am not moving across the country to be with some guy! hey it worked for me I did the free profile, and I got six matches. I didn't think that was very many so I ended up not signing up. Plus for the price, you can do yahoo personals for half what it costs at eharmony.

That is the match I got.. What's wrong with keeping a Iguana? :laugh:
Art_Critic Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 What's wrong with keeping a Iguana? :laugh: It wasn't in a cage.. she said it would crap only on the kitchen floor linoleum ..hahaha The temperature thing was funny.. she had like 5 fans around her bed in the summer time because she had to use the heat most of the year. Nutcase.... and to think if it wasn't for EH that I might never had the chance to date her..

Nutcase.... and to think if it wasn't for EH that I might never had the chance to date her.. Lol, thats gross. Could you see that thing all of a sudden walking through the living room, lol! :laugh: Thats one heck of an opportunity you had there. I can understand the heat thing. My bf and her H had two of them and their place is SOOOO hot. But their's are in cages so it's all good.
Art_Critic Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Thats one heck of an opportunity you had there. You bet.. she also said that it had to be socialized everyday or it would forget who you were and go back to the old nature way of treating you.. mean.. Yeah.. it was walking around in the house.. Of course all online dating is a crap shoot but at least with yahoo or match you get to pick more of who you are investing your time with.
