Why not just go outside and meet people normally? Amazingly enough, the human race managed to survive and procreate thousands of years before the internet.

eHarmony is a Ponzi scheme, people. Use the free sites and spam as many people as you want before throwing away 100 bucks to these fraudsters.

Besides, it's an old people site
Which begs the question, what do YOU consider "old"?

I was sincerely rooting for him as he's a great guy, has a good business at which he works very hard but the pickin's on this island really aren't too great! Anyway, he finally met a lovely girl from Indonesia and, after a couple of extended visits to see her there he decided that she was "the one" and brought her here. They were married about a year ago and are incredibly happy. She's gorgeous, bright and the perfect match for him in every respect and I'm guessing that this will be a marriage that will truly last until death them do part.

So, there's one story with a happy ending before the whaling and wailing begins!
They will probably be divorced in 2 years. Lol

People were able to make snarky remarks before the advent of the internet as well, but here you are.

I briefly tried to join eHarmony twice some years ago, but both times, after I took the time to fill out the *long* questionnaires, eHarmony flat-out refused to match me with anyone at all. Got a message back saying something to the effect of (paraphrasing here), "Sorry, but we don't think we can successfully match you with anyone here, so sorry but we cannot help you." And that was that...no appeal, no chance to question the decision, no nothing...and hence I think eHarmony is basically a total joke, for arbitrarily and arrogantly telling ppl that they are "unmatchable", b/c that's essentially the same as saying they "don't deserve to find love", IMO. So my personal experience with them is that eHarmony sux, but on the other hand, I was able to get about 30 dates that same year from OKCupid...go figure...

Yes, it's the way to go if you're looking for a serious long term relationship, but if you're just looking to hookup with some very naughty gals/guys, it's to be avoided.

Maybe you just don't live near anyone.

I'll not invest one dime in the dating sites, unless the bastards, the leeches, the parasites, the ectoplasms, the pithecanthropuses who swallow customer money try to invest in some infrastructure to prevent foreign scam artists who easily download all email addresses and private info and even steal your pictures and spam customer inboxes for the rest of eternity.

How about this, somebody steals your picture and uses it on a scam site with the name Tatyana with big boobs in some Russian site and you get floated around cyberspace like you are looking for a hook-up and you, the real you, are not even aware you are being paraded in some corner of websphere.

One of us should sue match.com or whatever for compromising on user security and take them to task - that's the only way picture theft and misuse can be prevented.

I don't know how many gigolo sites one Antlered Chamataka's picture has been uploaded to and is getting man ho'ed to desperate women in all sorts of countries or in America, those women looking to taste some exotic, ethnic meat As funny as it sounds, it's not funny that your info is being compromised and stolen. You're signing 75 bucks for three months so that match.com can sleep in the casino and let thugs steal your private stuff - including how you love to cuddle and like to take long walks in the beach
