So I filled out the eharmony thing for shits and giggles ages ago, and it matched me with around 30 practically identical accountants from san mateo who enjoy playing golf, barbecues, and long walks on the beach. They all were wearing suits and looked like my dad. Could they have got it more wrong? I am thinking no.

That would be somewhat irritating. But what do you care, if you did it "for shits and giggles"? It cured your momentary boredom, did it not?



Yea, it did. I'm just a tad prickly about being unmatchable, that's all. It's like a huge slap in the face coming from this old dude on TV that says they can find perfect matches for everyone.

It said the same thing when i did the test.. then a few days later it said we had time to match you profile with others and came up with a bunch names that i had to pay only 59.99$ to connect with.... pppfffttt
whatever



Yea, sounds like a crock. I don't know how they can just change their minds like that.

Hahaha, I guess they've never heard of variety, either.


Edit: I uh... I can't read or write. *hangs head*

The eHarmony system is snake oil. The downfall of most online dating services is the selectivity of the solicitee. (Doesn't that sound interesting?) They simply don't answer enough inquiries to get good matches.

eHarmony plays a numbers game. They do use some rough screening, though I think you can pretty easily find professionals who say this is gibberish. However, the screening lets them give you quire a few people to look at. If you honestly met 30 people with the intention of trying to find a spouse, there is a pretty good chance you will click with one. If you only look at 4 people, the numbers are less in your favor.

Besides, what do you prefer - a furtive glance and a subtle bite down on a straw or ;-) ?

What's worse that eHarmony?

GREAT EXPECTATIONS!!!!

My boyfriend's exwife signed up for it. I figured it was like Match or whatever and asked her one day if it was just a monthly fee and how much did she pay. I was blown the fuck over when she told me the deal with that site. She paid for a three year membership and paid... get this....

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!

surreal

I still can't believe anyone actually does that shit.




Damn.
And I thought the $10 I paid for Lavalife was outfuckingrageous.
