Glad to hear it. Everyone comes around eventually. It's the power of Toast On A Stick.

I'm 35, and an eHarmony member since Tuesday. I wouldn't lie about my age, and didn't, but I can't help feeling like it's been an issue. Have you other 30-something women eventually had success?

It's been a tough week (and as recently as Monday, I was sure I was quite the catch!) I mean, I'm sure I meet men who don't want to date me every day, but having them tell me so, unprovoked, and in such numbers, is a reeeaaalllly demoralizing experience. Please tell me it gets easier!

I'm sure this has all been covered elsewhere, and I apologize. Also, the Machiavellian carp sound pretty vicious.

Okay--so my friend would not lie about her age--its just what that 40something guy suggested she do. I was a little supprised.

Second question: ladies who are in your late 30s--do you feel like you have more trouble meeting guys on eH because your age is posted?

As a guy that is searching for a women in the mid-to late 30's. I don't even look at the exact age. Age is only a concern when it's at the beginning and end of my acceptable dating age range. Which for me is 28-40.

I agree. I've been telling her to let her pictures talk for her...she looks GREAT.

I was supprised that this 40something man, a doctor none the less, told her to sign up and lie about her age. He obviously has a different view on things than I do being a 20something female.

So he is a Doctor.

So he is OLDER than you.

And he told her to lie about her age - SFW !!!???


All that tells ME is that he might lie to one of his patients, too - tell her she did NOT have cancer, when he just found out she DID, so she might Feel better, and not get the news from * HIM *.


Pshaw. < shuffles feet in the dirt and spits terbaccy juice on the ground >

What if he has a Garmin Nuvi or a TomTom?

Wouldn't matter if he was in a relationship, because -with his SatNav,-- or even an iphone app, he'd find his way fight there to your place in a jiffy!!!

Be up to YOU to let him in, or keep him out !!! Whcih would you do

Doesn't matter if he's a successful doctor or not... I've dated all types and kinds... Doctors, pilots, attorneys... really doesn't matter... It all comes down to personality. The man that has his kids EVERY weekend and fights for more, he's the man for me.
