I hate the fact that they let me know exactly how many (or how few) people read my profile but decided I was not worth the effort to write to. Ignorance is bliss. I would rather not know.

I would seriously take a second look at match.com before using them even for the trial. They charged me against my will when I emailed someone. Also I've met many more people on Plentyoffish than I ever did on match.com

I have poked around ( haha no pun intended) on most online dating sites and am not too very impressed with any of them. They are useful if one has a busy schedule, but I have just as much success meeting women when I have the time to go out on the town.

I have been off and on Match since I was seperated and finally divorced. I have met several women, one that I was really into, just didn't work out. I have a date tonight with a woman I met on Match. I have met some real psychos, some very nice women I just wasn't attracted to, etc. I do notice that there are a lot of overweight women and women who tout how "Independent" they are. That one always gets me laughing. I don't want anidependent woman who doesn't "need" a man. If that's the case, why bother showing up for the party, the word independent screams I am a b*tch and carries connotations of being alone.

The whole BBW thing makes me laugh as well. Never before in the history of a society has being obese been seen as being "normal" and acceptable. I hear women complaining about men being shallow for not wanting to date a fat unattractive woman. Ladies, men are visual creatures, remember the hunter gatherer days? We men, being the hunters developed to read things via visual acuity. When we choose a mate we look for certain things, i.e waist to hip ratio, breast size in proportion to the hips, general good health. Obesity is the exact opposite of good health. I realize that not all women are model types and I am not looking for that kind myself, but pushing away from the table and maybe going to the gym would be a start.


I don't mind spending a little money given my work schedule to meet people. All in all Match is not bad in my opinion. It helps to not expect to meet my soulmate online either.

Just as an aside, doesn't seem to be a lot of women in the COS area on POF.

I must agree...match.com has alot of quality men that do not mind paying to meet quality women...I must admit...I have met far more on match...really great guys ...than I have on POF...most on here are very young with infactuations with older women...the only problem I have on match is the fact that most of the guys that I could have had a lasting relationship with were 2-3 hours away...I have been with match for more than a year...been viewed more than 20,000 times and have been on more than 300 dates...actually dated one physician for about 6 months...but again...distance was a factor for me... I do like the fact that there is a free site to experiment with but for the most part...quality lies with match.com
