They seem to be very successful in second marriages and the over 50 crowd.

I've only heard of 3 couples that were both single and never married... those are the 3 couples in the commericals. They were so rare, EH is paying them to be the spokes models.
um (raises hand), both myself and my husband were both single, never married and under 40 - in fact, we were both under 35 when we met.

I wish someone had paid me to get married! LOL! We'd at least have some more money than we do

Seems the women on some other site are more prone to take initiative (someone filled out profile but not paid membership and is getting 1-3 "hits" / emails per day)

I actually initiated contact with my now-husband. I'm glad I did! It was a bit uncharacteristic of me, in that I am a bit anxious regarding rejection, but being as it was the last week of my paid membership and I had no money to renew, I figured I'd throw caution to the wind and WOW! Who knew THIS would be the outcome LOL!

I still say eHarmony was good for me regardless had I met my husband or not; I learned so much about myself and that "forced introspection" alone in regards to relationships was worth every penny.

I see so many amazing people here, and I often ask myself why some of you have not been snatched up yet?! I know we all have our hang-ups, but so many of you seem really cool and I wonder if you know that?

I think it's fun to read what the rest of the site is like. I'm doing fine and enjoying my matches. Really, don't read too much into it all. It's all outer, other. Give the site time, whatever you signed up for, and just have fun with it. I'm thinking of starting a group to help edit profiles. I'm surprised how off track some people are, but it sure is amusing. And the photos, oh boy!

Thinking not good idea right now... still reeling (self imposed pity party) from being dumped (via email no less) real hard.

Ooooohh. Jeep-boy, that's seriously rough. I'm sorry. Not sure if I feel worse about your break up or worse for you being in pain AND on Morphine (an arch nemesis of mine).

It floors me that men and women will dump each other via e-mail. I can understand phone ONLY in LDR's in which it is impossible to have a face-to-face meeting about the end, but e-mail is so - cold. I suppose the converse of that is it is better to not have ended up with someone that is that cold...

There are better women out there, Jeep-boy, trust me!

I hope you feel better soon - I know you may not believe in God or prayer, but I do, so I'll pray that you find physical and emotional healing soon.

I signed up with the special for three months, and in doing so still don't hold much hope, just felt that I needed to be doing something because my life isn't that full of places to meet people. I tend to spend to much time at home, pretty shy. So just looking to see who is out there counts to me. It is worth it. I have more than had my share of bad relationships, rushing in without knowing the person, and being disapointed/hurt to varying degrees. I have hope, even if I spend the next three years looking at matches on EH, I find it helps me to identify what I really want in a partner. Thinking before jumping, and also the idea of having permission to say what I do and don't want in a partner is confidence building. Even if I do remain the 'Crazy old spinster Aunt with the Cat' it will be with confidence that I am doing something other than hiding away.
