Attractiveness is definitely subjective to the individual. I remember I met this guy who I found pretty attractive but my friend defiantly disagreed. I wanted to be like, "Are you kidding? This guy is hot". She in turn has found guys attractive who I have been like "ugh...no". I am just hoping to find someone that I personally find physically attractive who finds me just as attractive back.

My question is - CD'ers, why not just use Match.com and forget about all those other questionable dating sites?

I know 13 married couples who met on Match. I know several more people who are in serious relationships with people they also met on Match. It seems to me that this is really the only way to go for those who want to meet someone. Of all these people, they all say that the other sites are not good (except a couple said e-harmony is okay).

Just curious as to why no one here uses it.
Well I joined their sister site, Chemistry.com, which isn't working out as well as I had hoped. I ended up signing up because I had a 70% off deal but it simply is not worth the money. I pretty much take all dating sites with a grain a of salt. It either works or it doesn't work for the individual. In my case, it doesn't work

Folks.. this is NOT a chat thread. If you have nothing productive to offer then move along. We are here to discuss a topic not have a few members have a conversation that is not about the original topic

Default Beware ... Match.com

I joined Match.com on a 6 month subscription & quickly found out that there were very few new "Matches" coming on line in my area.
I stopped login on about 3 months ago ... today I received notification they had take payment for another 6 months ...

I was aware of how their system worked, but I forgot to cancel before my subscription expired ...

If you join, or are already a member ... MAKE SURE YOU CANCEL BEFORE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ENDS ! ... They will not send you notice of renewal!

Oh please. Most any subscription site works exactly the same way. You should have set up your own reminder, or removed the "automatically renew my subscription" flag in your account.

Thank you ChessieMom! ... What a wonderful place this world would be if we were all as clever as you! ... I guess you're just another one of those "smart ass" people who gets it right, every time!

So my message to all of us who have busy lives and short memories is ... make sure you cancel before your subscription ends! ... Its just a simple reminder for those of us honest enough to admit we're not as well organized as ChessieMom.

Not well organized? Sounds to me like you were just careless.

Dude, if it's not too long after the renewal, you can call them and they'll refund your money. I did the same thing...got my money back, it was all good.

Yep! I would - if I suddenly became single again. I certainly would give it a try.
Man, I wish they had such things when I was dating twenty plus years ago.
Modern technology gives you a better chance of connecting with someone who is compatible.
I think that is especially true, if you live in a small town!
