After a good friend of mine from highschool met his woman on plentyoffish.com, I tried it. I don't know if it's my area, or the age range I'm looking at or what, but every response I got was from a bottom feeder. All those laid off autoworkers who call themselves "retired" because they took a buy out package and haven't found another job yet, especially.
I filled out the eharmony profile and did the three month free trial. When I did the profile, it popped back saying they have no matches for me. That continued until about 2 days before I had to pay if I wanted to continue and then a match popped up. Amazing timing. When it first popped out the "we have no matches for you" I laughed hysterically because I often say that my ideal man does not exist. It was like proof!
Then there was match.com, where the first match that came up was my ex-husband. Yeah, on paper, we're perfect for each other. Reality is another story!
