Sawyer76 I have had a similar experience on Match and Yahoo! Personals as you with the same people being on both sites. However, I never equated it to a bar scene nor did the very few people that actually communicated with me seem to be looking for anything casual. I did find the girls on those sites to be much more shallow than those on eHarmony.

I am not sure how large a pool of candidates you expect a matchmaking service to have but they are not going to go and look outside their members to find you your perfect match. Of course if high on your list is a guy with lots of money then maybe a matchmaking service is the place for you to look.

As for your lack of success in even getting dates on eHarmony, once again we have only complaints without any knowledge whatsoever of you. But in the same time that you have been on eHarmony my experience has been vastly different. I actually get dates. I may not have found "the one" yet. At least with eHarmony I still have enough money left after paying for their service to afford to take someone out.
