E-Harmony refused me service!!

based on my personality profile, apparently there is no man on the entire planet that I would be compatible with. :hug: :cry:

:( nobody wants me. I was just telling the truth in my profile. :hug:

why can't they make a group for all the nice, non-criminals, that don't fit their other groups?

:pout:

to place a larger emphasis on physical attractiveness and sexual compatibility than "sharing feelings with your partner"? (ick) ;)

But there are alot of fundie-types and reich-wingers on there... I know this by my own bitter experience with them. :hug:

because I'm really starting to think of who I would be compatible with, etc.....

Guess my independence was something they couldn't handle. :)

Why do they advertise that they can find just the right person for us, and then refuse to do so? And boy, talk about rejection!! There's not a single human being in their database that'd be right for me. I rationalized it at the time by telling myself that I was in such a rural, out-of-the-way place that they couldn't find anyone near me. I still tell myself that. It feels better than "you really aren't good enough for anyone!".

E-Harmony. Bastids.

everybody and his uncle were apparently compatible with me. :rofl:

We are just unique is all. And nothing wrong with that! :)

:hug:
The truth is, nobody's good enough for you.
:hug:

There's a whole advertising campaign for a rival company designed around that slogan. Heh.

bookmarked that for myself

:hi:

but i must confess i haven't had a lot of luck with match.com in the past...

I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

On the part of E-Harmony, that is, NOT you.

be my

I'll always be your little marshmallow. :D :rofl:

:D

E-harmony is run by right-wing fundie Christians. The site is crap.

Which really bugged me, because I wanted to find a nice pool of single women with low self-esteem. Instead there are a bunch of shit-heads who think they're the god-damned queen of Sheeba.

Goddamn, that was funny. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:rofl:

I met one person through e-Harmony. Looked great on paper. Utter FREEEEEEEEK.

all your potential matches were also deemed incompatible and refused!

Makes one wonder if there would be a high compatibility between those that are refused by eharmony.
I would suspect yes.

It happens to the best of us. The gayest of us as well, although that's a different story...

E-harmony blows. I've never used it (of course), but believe me, I've heard things.

:hug: I figure all we need to do is find a couple of guys who aren't compatible with anyone either, and we're in business! :silly: :hi:

with you.

I've never tried them, but somehow I'd expect that I'd be rejected just as easily. And I've met plenty of people who I'm compatable with.

None of them would make it onto eHarmony either, I'm guessing. :P

About two years ago, an unfortunate relation bought a membership for me and it was horrid. Apparently, my perfect matches are racists and/or sexists and/or jackasses.

On my "5 questions" to ask matches, I always asked about views on traditional gender roles and favorite books. Most of them were "GIT N DER KICHIN!" or "since you're asian, do you (disgusting sexual practice)" or "Hannity is my hero." Feh.

:wtf:

Is that some stereotype that I haven't heard of? Or is it just some 'subservient geisha' fetish?

I personally think that race is one of the top matching categories, as I received a hell of a lot of matches from people who have absolutely nothing else in common with me. Plus, I received a lot of matches from white guys seeking something along the lines of a mail order bride. Just sickening.

yeah, that sounds like an asshat fest.

And I'd be willing to bet that lots of those losers were actually married fundies looking for something freaky on the side.

You are better off without them.

They gotta have a pretty small window of people they try to draw from...

:( I'm sure someone out there wants you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony

<snip>
eHarmony was founded in 2000 with $3 million of Series A funding from Fayez Sarofim & Co. and individual investors.<5> Dr. Warren, an evangelical Christian with strong ties to the conservative Christian community, attributes much of the initial success of eHarmony to its being promoted through James Dobson's Focus on the Family radio show. In 2005 eHarmony sought to distance itself from Dobson and Focus on the Family, largely in an effort to broaden the market share of Warren's books and that of eHarmony according to Warren.

Man, if I were them I would have just taken your money and pulled a name out of a hat.

Consider yourself lucky. You could have found yourself with some creep demanding 'wifely submission' and a brood of home schooled kids.

in e-harmony.

I think the "e" means "evangelical".

Consider yourself fortunate.

:hug:

Either that or there aren't enough subscribers in your area.
:)

I met my man on e-harmony,and we are both pretty weird.

edited because i am apparently a computer idiot.

they will prolly turn me away if i use them too

:hug:

Kidding! :rofl:

I did their free trial membership thing a while back just for giggles. That was before I knew they were a big ol' fundie site. Anyway, I got some matches, but one of the first guys they sent me made an utterly insulting, sexist remark in his "Five Things" list. I told them that after everything I put down in my profile, they should realize that he is exactly the kind of guy I was trying to avoid, and told them to cancel my membership. For a while they tried to persuade me to stay, and I had to explain to them that their service was of no real value to me because I could find guys like THAT anytime I wanted down at Hooters. Eventually they cancelled my membership.

So, not to worry; I don't think you're missing out on anything worthwhile.

look at all the hearts you have and replies to this thread.

Perhaps it would help though if you took your shopping carts back to the store.

Surprisingly, they did not reject me and I thought they had before. I think it may be better to be rejected though, they keep spamming my email. I have not joined because it would just involve spending $20 a month to be rejected by people like DA. I can get rejected for free at the local Hooters.

His remark bordered on misogynistic and was inappropriate at any time, much less when introducing himself to a woman he wants to impress. I really doubt it is anything that a guy on this website would ever say.

I just told them that if they were going to send guys like that my way, then their woooonderful personality-matching software wasn't nearly as accurate as they thought.

oh hey, DA. Good to see ya. I was just funning with you. But I did sign up for an online dating thing "match.com" and sorta felt like all I got for my $20 a month was half a dozen rejections.

Sometimes you never know too. Some people in GDP seem to think "I don't support Hillary" IS misogynistic.

will not match a woman with a man having less education or making less money.

I can't imagine living with that kind of fear.

some shit about me being married...

that no one they would accept is worth being with

B-O-R-I-N-G

I tried them for a little while in the late 90s, (no didn't know at the time the fundie connections).

Virtually every guy they sent me was cookie cutter. He was a SW engineer about 35, lived in the newer burbs, moved here from somewhere else for his job. And seriously, I couldn't distinguish one from the other. They all looked the same. And I never got past the point of the stupid 20 questions bullshit they make you go through.

:crazy:

I decided I'd do better meeting interesting people on my own. While I have meet fewer men, they have been different individuals.

I like being too good for the cristo-nutters.

They never actually let anyone interesting on that site 'cause it's run by fundies. Not to mention they discriminate against LGBT folks.

What we need is an eHarmony for kinky sinners. :P

She didn't like any of the matches.

One of their latest commercials shows a blonde couple who look like brother and sister---seriously, they have the same distinctive features and they absolutely look like brother and sister. Gotta wonder what message they are trying to send to the audience.

E-harmony creeps me out. That's the message I got from that commercial.

As for E-Harmony, I tried to sign up with that place when they first started advertising, and the same thing happened. Despite what they say, there is absolutely nothing "scientific" about their process, it's the same standard stuff as on other dating sites, just more of them. If you don't get pigeonholed into one of their little categories, you're fucked. (Well, not fucked, you know what I mean).

As long as those changes don't involve cheating or stupid behavior! Seriously, we dump all this money into dating when we really should just get out a little more and truly look for the ones we love in person. We lose so much by taking an internet profile as solid and discover things are much different.
