Dear Uberness,

You raise a very interesting question and one that many wonder about. In fact, I seem to recall a recent thread on that very topic. Hmm, let me see if I can recall the name of it as you might want to take a peak there. . . . Yes, "Ever hooked up by E.H advice boards?????"

Here's the link as sometimes these threads are hard to find: http://advice.eharmony.com/?page=view_thread&TID=10193&start=0

There's some things you may want to keep in mind:

1. Unless any of thesemen appear on your "Match" page when you're an eHarmony member(members are not able to communicate with their matches as they're not subscriber's) or subscriber, you're not matched with them according to eHarmony's patented 29 dimensions.

In other words, they're NOT going to be a lot like you in important ways that have been discovered by the founder, Dr. Neil Clark Warren who's made such things his life's work, to make for wonderful relationships and marriages.

2. Keep in mind, "Opposites attract and then attack."

3. While these "eHarmony Advice" boards can be lots of fun, and anything is most always possible, it doesn't seem wise to make this your primary method of finding the love of your life, not that I'm thinking you are. I don't know of anyone who met and married through these "eHarmony Advice" boards.

4. eHarmony does advertise a success rate of 90 marriages a day through their system, so it's working for quite a few folks. I personally know of someone who met and married their match and another who got pregnant by their match (not a good idea and another reason sex needs to be after marriage and within marriage only)!

5. Apparently, there were some in Houston who post on these boards who had a recent "meet-up" in Houston. The organizer I believe was "PurePlem" and you may wish to private message him and ask if he noticed any romantic attractionamong the attendees! He created the "30 somethings" group I think and you could also go there and look at their topics.

As for me personally, I'm not on eHarmony Advice looking for anyone. I have a substantial number of matches on eHarmony and like the idea of eHarmony's patented 29 dimensions as their matching base in matching me with men who are a lot like me and who I'm a lot like them!

Perhaps many of these posters do have that desire tucked away somewherein hopingthey will meet someone here in this forum. I wouldn't rule it out completely if that's what you'd like and why you're here! Of course, unless the guy's in Portland where you are, or around there, it would all be long distance which does take a toll many times and can get quite expensive with visits. Again, anything is possible, and as Sean Connery learned, "Never Say Never!"

Welcome to the "eHarmony Advice" boards!

I don't see a reason why we shouldn't be open to the possibility of finding someone on the advice boards. Life's too short ... make the most of the opportunities you're handed.

To be honest,I have had far more interestingcommunication with men on these boards than any of my matches. I am very open to meeting someone on these boards, and in my opinion the 29 dimensions has not worked out so well for me yet. When I read some of the profiles of men I am matched with....I absolutely cannot see how we were matched with one another.
