OK..I'll come straight out with it, I'm suffering from cyber rejection. I'm beginning to think maybe I should just remove myself from the dating game. Meanwhile, there was just another Eharmoney commercial on TV "review your matches for free..." I am in a job search and working part time so I am not an Eharmony member, can not see any profile pics so all my attraction to guys is based on profile. I do have a picture posted on my profile. During the recent extended free communication week I responded to every appropriate match and received zero responses. I discovered from other non payers that they use open questions to insert an e-mail address and continue discussion outside the site. So I did that and continued discussions and viewing pics via e-mail. I believe I have placed enough e-mail layers to remain anonmous. Anyway, guys say they love what they hear and then disappear from view after pic. I have never thought of myself as ugly but this rejection is getting to me. Yes, I am overweight, but then so are the majority of Americans if you believe the media statistics. Interestingly, many eHarmony posters seem to exercise frequently and be a very healthy active bunch. I think I'm going to bow out of this adventure and work on myself because this is too distracting to my job search. I would like to hear what others out there have to say. I don't have any close male friends to with whom to discuss this, so I'm open to listening. Thanks for letting me vent!
Wait. You were in the last free promo on EH?
You sent them your e-mail address in your answers to questions. They then went to your e-mail address and said they liked what they heard so far? Am I getting this right?
Then you sent a pic to them through your e-mail? Then they quit responding?
If I am understanding right. Then that means they couldnt see your pic on EH. Because they were free members also. If this is the case and your looking for a job and otherwise too busy to be bothered by this. I suggest you turn off matching. Then after you get a job and settled become a paying member.
Like you said. Most Americans are overweight. So I am not so sure this is your problem.

I'm okay with men who are overweight, even up to 50 lbs; I'm more concerned with whether or not they care about their health. If a guy were even a little overweight and a couch potato, however, that would be a turn-off.
