Has anyone on here ever tried using Match.com or known someone who has? I was thinking out of trying that out for the free 3 days but I wanted to know if anyone has. If it's no good than I'm not sure I want to risk getting charged after the 3 day period if the company is phoney. Just wondering...

An acquaintence of mine is the CEO of a local hospital and met his wife, a physician, through Match.com nine years ago, shortly after it was launched on the internet. They married about 1-1/2 years later and are still happily together.

Good luck! :)

A relative met their spouse through something like that. You have to be VERY careful though....

Thanks for all your responses. As things keep turning out to be heading nowheres regarding relationships I'll probably be thinking more and more about getting involved in something like that because it doesn't seem as difficult as searching in real life. Course, I started going to a club and there seems to be a bunch of guys and girls there my age. It just gets so crowded around midnight that there is no way to "hit it off" with anyone.

My cousin tried to meet a guy in a bar. She gave up....and found someplace else to look. Only then did she find Joe. They have been happily married for some time now. I always got the impression that bars are where you go to get one night stands....

Should you match.com? Beware...

Found you via yahoo search: truth about match.com. Thought to post, as community service... So theres members and subscribers. Become a member, fill out your questionaire, talk about self/wants, upload up to 24 photos. Members can only "wink" I O W, look at each other incase others look and wink at you, like what they see. Once in the system, you start*ta da*to get emails, you cant answer unles you subscribe-- hey someone likes you! So membership is $30/1 mo. up to the Dr. Phil package, $80 for 3 months with "pro" advice. So emails pile up, you're wanted, you subscribe. Answer mail: they are SHILLS RINGERS AND PHONIES. Cut n paste letters to "friend" from Olga, a staged photo, from WAY outta town, not picky. Twice this happened. So you use search parameters to find your sweetie, local proximity, picky searches you save, key words, etc. So profiles come up, maybe with % you are alike. Also indicates if the person is active within 24 hours to 1 month, thats 30 days... So you whip out 40 or so emails, winking around, and where are the replies?
The replies are being read by a WEBMASTER in NEW DELHI who read all the spent emails from men to women-- the Switch: you cannot see who is a member or not, so its a shot in the dark-- will they write or not? If you just wink, shot in the dark-- you can get a wink back but not an email. This in turn pyramids-- gets others to subscribe; I'd like to see how many emails "hotchix" get. a stack no doubt-- but are they subscribers? not bloody likely. So alot of shots in dark, and the rejection of a wink feels just like the same thing in the real world... ouchy! change your profile, parameters, play online.
So particpants are: presumably mostly men who subscribe, women who upload profiles as members for fun. Make "meretriciuos quips" about themselves, indicate they want a man who makes $150k/yr. I joke not. That is why I make such a big post. For you, my fellow Lonely Guy-- I live in a remote spot near a metroplolis, send off polite intros and get: "wheris that?" one liners. Rude and bad form to the literate. No "toad" here, I've been called a catch, there are worse.
BUT: silver lining, the two out of 50 women I picked, and that's being a little picky, seem like nice literate and genuine, looking for the same thing.
MUST ADD: after "no luck" with the profile, I changed it to a very well thought monologue, so "smartypantzgrl" or "datinginlasux" see where a good man is comin' from. Match.com will EDIT YOUR PROFILE, take your words and chop them up. Made a crack about New Delhi Webmaster on the gigaserver, and low-learning-curve slatterns who interfere with Accute Intimacy Deprivation, and they CUT IT. NOT FAIR.
Bottom line, on the service for less than a week, but: BS detector is in the red, but: silver lining ladies are genuine, literate, and the people you REALLY want to look for. Its called synchronisity, wish me luck.
Apologia for the long post; p.o.ed about them editing my profound and witty DNA profile. BUYER BEWARE. Worth about a few days, laughing. This is not written in desperation, just community service. Decent men, solicit not the bar-slatterns, and fear what you wish.
RINGERS AND SHILLS. With a silver lining. Look elsewhere. More theraputic to THINK you are looking for a date than to get one. Like my 2-outta-50 contacts though, they rock.
