Just when you think you’ve tried them all there’s still another claim to fame match making website ready to find you your Mr. Right. I would like to talk about my latest online addition to the game. E Harmony it is.
Now this one is a real joke. They match you randomly accordingly to what they gather from a profile that you set up and about a thousand ridiculous questions that they have you answer.
Once you are matched up you can only view the profiles of the men that you have been matched with. There is no browsing of any type. If you happen to have interest in anyone that you have been “matched ” with you can send him or her a set of questions that you select personally from a long list that the site provides. You are also given the option to skip to what they call EH Mail. Oooooh how daring of you! Haha. Almost no one on the site wants to email, they are all about the questions, and once you answer the first set of five questions they send you another set. This goes on and on for about three sets of questions. This gives these men the perfect wall to hide behind. They don’t have to talk to you, they can delay the process as long as they like. It goes on for days, weeks, even months, because at times you don’t get a response/set of new stupid questions to answer right away. People don’t reply for days to weeks.
The first time I actually made it through the questions I couldn’t believe it. It was exhausting, and the funniest thing is that when you get through the questions you “graduate” to being able to email with that person. Hilarious! Especially because then, you don’t hear from them! There are no more questions to hide behind. And these questions mind you, of course are being answered with what they think you want to hear, with what will supposedly make them a catch right? It feels like a compete waste of time throughout the entire process. I have been on the site for a month now and have not gone on one date. I get tons of matches and questions sent to me daily, but who the hell wants to go through that over and over and over? Let’s email, then let’s chat and then let’s meet and see if there’s anything worth our while. Seems simple right? Of course it’s not! Why can’t we just do it? We are consistently provided with outlets to avoid the real deal. It’s amazing.
So that has definitely been a new and pointless experience for me. Oh and it’s not cheap either. These sites are getting a pretty penny for subscription. The funny thing is that I must have gone on and off of the site a few times while setting up my profile, and answering miles of questions so often without signing up that they threw me an email with a special price. 3 months at the bargain price of $12.95 a month. Ooh…I feel special! Well it gets a big thumbs down from me and believe me I’m an expert!
On top of my lovely E Harmony experience. I was contacted just this week by match making service that I had worked with a couple of years ago. It’s a service for men that consider themselves too busy to search for a mate on their own. So they pay a boat load of money to have women hand picked for them and dates set up with them. The women pay nothing but go through an interview process so they can be presented to these male clients with plenty of information to help them make their decision on whether or not they would like to meet you. The men see your picture and get your background info provided by a representative of the service but the women only get age, height and where they live. Now when I did this years ago that was ok with me, I figured why not, it’s just one date and if they aren’t attractive to me no big deal and move on. Now? Uh no thanks! I say no thanks not only because I’m really not big on wasting time and that is just way too blind for me, but because in my past experience not one of the men that I met through this service were of my physical type in any way, shape, or form. My txt conversation with the rep that contacted me started out as a refresher as I hadn’t been in contact with them for so long. When she started telling me about the potential matches that she had for me they were out of my age range and I told her that. She then started pushing it, telling me that I should give it a try, you never know. Instead of explaining to her my reasoning in a long drawn out txt message I simply told her where I cap it off and then asked what she could tell me about these men. One lived in Boston but is here on business often, uh no. The other lived in Philly but was in New York often, uh no! What the heck is this? Why are you looking to meet a woman that lives in New York if you don’t? I asked her if they had plans to move to New York and if that was why they were working with her and she said no. At that point I was really getting turned off and started to realize that this obviously wasn’t for me. Being set up is bad enough when it’s by a family member or a friend. This screamed disaster.
Summing it up, my two latest additions to the game were a bust. I’ve had a couple of dates from the apps that I just can’t seem to delete from my phone as well. Good dates, so we shall see! You know you’ll hear all about it 😉
So we’re still plugging away folks. Having fun just thinking about all of the amazing possibilities that await!
