I signed up at plentyoffish yesterday. Looks pretty promising... :excited:
Outstanding response rate here. Uploaded a few pics to the underground. Hope to meet at least one of those three Saturday.
Hey Stu, whatever happened to the cute redhaired hairdresser? I think I was in :excited: with her myself. :excited: Seem to recall you lived far away from one another and were having trouble getting together...
Yeah, I kind of dropped it after that. I also got the impression that she enjoyed myspace public attention, which I'm not into at all. I don't want to be one of those schlubs drooling over some chick's myspace.She did send me a message there last weekend. And then I noticed her at POF, so I sent her a "familiar face" type note. I actually owe a response on that one. Maybe I should pursue this more just for you...
:excited: :eek: I thought she was the cutest girl that anyone posted.

 
Took the plunge and joined eHarmony.
Killing Spree ?!?!?I guess you don't like this match - yeah I know you were joking, but there is a decent chance she takes that the wrong way....remember there is a little truth in all sarcasmBest of luck - I actually like some of her questions - I might use one or two of them tonight.

Would you settle for a brunette version? Another hairdresser.

Joking? I've got a list of names, I'm just waiting for a night like that.

Here's hoping!
:thumbup: I did the eHarmony thing about four years ago, my one and only foray into iDating (until I was matched with a guy who had previously stalked me). I actually felt like I got a lot out of those short answer questions...I would definitely have continued communication with the "killing spree" guy, just in hopes he was as hilarious as it might seem. :shrug:

Alias, I've meant to mention to you--don't rule out an eHarmony match just because her picture is not yet available. I never let someone see my picture until he asked, just for privacy's sake. Probably about 1/4 of the people who closed a communication with me (before we started any) said it was because I didn't have a picture available. I figured those guys were stupid, and certainly not people that I was interested in getting to know anyway.

If you ever want thoughts on eHarmony, I'm happy to help. :wub:

She's cute for sure, but not as good. I have high standards now, you know. :)

I actually never do, well - if they have 0 photos on the site I close it immediately. There is an option to hide your photo until a later stage, I let those slip through the cracks. I don't want to have to wait until Open Communication to see what she looks like, that is just a little too much of an investment.I may hit you up for some advice later thanks for the offer.

fyi....e-harmony is 3 chicks to every 2 guys. Yeah you have to wade thru the bs and get spoon fed matches, however you will have someone's attention when you're communicating. On match and some of the other sites you're up against 10-20 other e-mails. When I was on e-harmony I met some ladies with heavy duty educations and some making major coin. e-harmony gets you into that hot attorney's office in the high rise building that security wouldn't normally let you sniff the lobby.

I would warn with e-harmony, though, ESPECIALLY if you're around my age, you do have more than your fair share of crazy chicks there. The 22-25 year olds who can think about nothing but marriage--you need to screen for that early.

A little too much? GB you eharmony guys, but I don't see how you have the necessary patience. I consider myself a patient person, but the main appeal of idating is to quickly browse through hundreds of people. Spending time on someone I haven't seen a picture of sounds -EV.And going through all the stages and structure sounds like a beating. Today on plentyoffish I set up a meeting with the blonde in the fifth or sixth brief message to her and one with "cribbage girl" in the second. Much more efficient IMO. :shrug:

I'm old enough to be your daddy and given the fact that I road tripped to Columbia in that timeframe it certainly couldn't be ruled out. :)

I think these guys are WAY overstating the amount of effort in eHarmony.First stage is to answer five multiple choice questions. Takes one minute, tops.

Second stage is sending "must haves" and "cant stands" that you selected at the beginning of signing up for the site. Five seconds, tops.

Third stage is answering three "short answer" questions like the ones Norville linked. Might take a minute to answer each, but once you've done so you just cut and paste from when you've answered the questions before. Five minutes (if writing the answer anew), tops.

Then you're in the "email" stage, and by then I always felt like I knew someone well enough that I'd either get together with him or I'd stop communication.

I fail to see how less than 10 minutes or so is "too much" work. :lmao:

I did. A girl I dated had a best friend who hated my guts. eHarmony matched me the friend. I thought about it before I closed it though.

It might be good for you because you are more of a relationship guy. It is not good for the Stus of the world. :) It was probably too relationship-oriented for me at the time as well.And like I said, even in Chicago I ended up being matched with a guy I'd previously dated, so there is that chance...

yikes, i'm afraid i'll see a classmate plus the ex said she may try it. i'm also afraid of paying all that money, going through all the questions and stuff, then being sent matches of girls i'm just not attracted to. that's what happened on match and plentyoffish - i liked maybe one or two of the girls i saw and my odds were stacked against me to get them as had been documented.

If you join, try to work "yikes" into your profile somewhere. It's better they know this right up front.

HEY! :lmao: Oh wait... Carry on. :rolleyes:Thanks for the stage explanation in the other post though. That sounds more reasonable. Just not the site for me at this point in my life.

:lmao: You're entitled, GB...you just got divorced. :wall:
 
yeah it is definitely relationship oriented

woz - do not bother, too expensive for you and I know you would not be pleased with the talent level

why not cast your net a little wider?
:lmao:Only finding one or two girls up to Woz standards is a Woz problem, not an iDating problem.Woz, are you in the cities yet? There have got to be plenty of good prospects in that area.

Not sure how old you are, but half of the attornies/doctors are looking to be shagged by someone semi-intelligent who they won't be seeing in the courthouse/exam room the next day or who will start stalking them.

i can't help who i'm attracted to? :thumbup:
I can't either, but I have enough common sense to realize that holding out for Jessica Alba probably isn't the best course of action.

Will be in a couple of weeks... but I really wasn't impressed with the match.com prospects there. seriously, i'm beginning to think any quality girl likely wouldn't have to resort to idating.

Yeah...they're slumming in a bar 5 nights a week or partying at houses where they get to wander thru bedrooms to take a leak.

I'm sure you're just dreamy and all, Fonz, but don't you think maybe you could actually meet a few of these babes and determine that in person?

you'd be wrong.
The quality material has their pics hidden and is contacting what they find to be the top shelf material. I'm guessing Woz is well material.
:thumbup: I know a hot doctor on there who wouldn't dare put "doctor" in her profile and has some ridiculous pic from a few years ago posted. Scratch off a few emails, woz, what's it going to hurt?
