I received a match today who said on his profile, "I am not rich. In fact, I have a lot of debt. But I am happier than I've ever been." That's great that he's happy, but that statement made me wonder. Nobody said anything about being rich, but is it too much to ask for an eH match to be financially responsible and able to support himself?


And what's up with the guys who don't fill out their entire profile and give short, nondescript answers, usually with no photo attached? eH seems to be sending me a lot of those lately and I close all of them out because these guys put no thought into their profiles and do not give me any sort of info about themselves. And Idon't likewhen the guyspost fuzzy, faraway photos where you can't even make out which person they are. Or the ones where some girl has obviously been chopped out of the photo. I also don't care for bad web-cam photos or those up-against-the-bathroom-wall self-portraits. Shirtless photos are a major turnoff, too.


Anyone else have eH peeves today?

I won't even open a profile with no picture. It tells me they're not paying members and I really resent EH sending me non-paying members because I'm not interested in someone whose not interested in investing something financially like the rest of us are to explore the possibility of finding a relationship. Sometimes I'm not happy with the results I get from EH, but at least I took the risk.


And what's up with Mr. "I'm so happy being in Debt?" He's kinda floating on the River of Denial.

I was a paying member a few years back and only had 3 dates. I had been thinking about re-joining but I am having second thoughts after reading all these glowing testimonials (NOT). Is it my imagination or are the commercials with the sappy couples and the "Success Stories" representative of a very small number as compared to the number of paying members????


I think they are a small number. When I logged in this morning, the first pic that popped up on the site is the same one they've been running forever -- a couple that was engaged in 2004. Now, if eH really does work so well, why aren't they refreshing their site and commercials with newer couples? My guess is because it's all a sham and there aren't any out there. Dr. Neil Clark Warren is laughing all the way to the bank and probably sitting on some yacht somewhere thanks to all of our hard-earned dollars.[img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif[/img]
Hi


I just read in Readers Digest That Dr. Warren has retired to Maine!!! He no longer has anything to do with running the company and is only working up new moneymakers like using the 29 dimentions use to figure out the right occupation for you.


They said his retirement home is near the Kennedy's in Maine. I guess he did really make and continues to make a bundle.

All but one of my six daily matches had no photo and most had barely filled out profiles. One mentioned sex in most of the sections. all crap and all closed. Thanks eH.





Dont you have to fill out the questionaire first before you get to the profile filling out stage? Are they even doing that? The matches I got today had NOTHING in common with me.
Today when I was asked by a customer service rep how things were going I said terrible. They said what is the problem are you not getting matched up with people who have commom interest and I said no. They told me that I could not take the questionaire but every six months so I will still be receiving matches that I do not have nothing in common with me. I know exactly how you feel.

I got another winner in today's daily delivery. Three shirtless photos out of a total of five photos. All three very clearly displayed the guy's huge tattoos going up each arm. Tattoos are a big turnoff for me (to each his/her own, I know) and when coupled with shirtless photos, yuck!


Anyone else ever notice that eH delivers a set amount (give or take one or two) of matches each day at around the same time? At least that's the way it works with me. And when I click the "find new matches" tab at any other time, it never finds me any matches.

Even though I put that height is important to me for my matches, I keep getting matches that are 5'0" and 5'1".


what do you have against girls that are 5'1"?? are we too tall for you?





Oh, how I would like to be matched to a girl that was 5'0" or 5'1". Of course a girl that is only 5'0" has a minimum requirement for her match of 6'0" or above.


So not true!! Have a look on the 'Height' thread. We aren't all looking for a tall guy. [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif[/img]


Hey SoCal,


[Note to self: All women don't want tall men.]


Actually, in a way you're right. Absolute height is not a concrete preference for women. Women have a slightly different rule I call the "high heel" rule. From it's catchy title, need I even describe it?


Simply put, women want men that are at least as tall as they are in their tallest heels (the woman in heels, of course, unless you prefer cross-dressers). I haven't any clue how it came to be, but I've found it to be universally true (including circus roadies, but not those with fetishes for "little people").


I'm 6'3 and actually got rejected by a 6'2 woman due to this rule, go figure...
Not all women think like this. I for one do not. Actually since I am so tall most of the guys I date are shorter than me and I have no problem with that whatsoever. I love wearing heels as well!

I understand what your saying. I have been peeved that so many men come on here to just "Casually Date". If you want to casually date people go to a bar or a dating sevrice where people do not go through so much to find a good match. Secondly,I am a little fustrated with the photo's myself. EH needs to allow bigger MB for photos. I couldn't get any photos on because my photo centers are to high of quality for EH capacity. So I have had to email them the photo and its fuzzy unless you go specifically into veiw my photos up close. With the amount you pay for EH you'd think they can update this.

It's nice to see I'm not the ONLY one having trouble getting what I'm searching for. I'm aware the "29" deminisions are important, but so is the fact I want a man who is at least 5'10". I also hate the fact with the "closed matches" you get all the way to the end then they close... that's fine, but EH should have an optional place where you can type in the reason the match was closed. To me "OTHER" and "Rather not say" is NOT really an option. I would like to know why. For me, I closed out some of the men b/c they hunted. I don't hunt, nor do I want to be with someone who does. I also don't want to be with someone who is 5'5". I'm sorry, ( no I'm not) But he could look like Denzel but I want a tall man. Just like I'm sure some men want a "skinny minny" hey, I can accept that. Just give me a reason why...
