Have any of you ever been matched with someone who you already know.... and very strongly dislike!? This happened to me this morning, good thing I checked my matches at 5:30 am before he had a chance to even click on me! I hurried and hid my pictures and closed him out before the poor guy even got a shot.


I believe about 80 percent in the 29 dimensions.... he must have lied on his test. We are nowhere even near compatable. *shudder*


Any similar stories??

Don't frett,,i think their match system as with other date sites is not as great as they say "oohh this is based on sceintific facts" bull,,you should see some of the people sent my way!I didn't know that there were people on this earth like the ones i get! We have absolutely nothing in common! I think they are under pressure to send a certain quota of so called matches to each person and when there is a person that likes a couple of things as you they send them at you!Them saying they find you the best match based on a special secret receipe is just a ploy to get more paying bodies.If what you said happened man that is crazy! your luckey you avoided the guy,,good luck and take care

I had this happen as well. He is the stepbrother of a long time friend. Nice enough guy but of course I know all his dirty laundry as I am friends with his sister. I intended to fasttrack him so that I could email and make light of it however I didn't get the chance, he closed me out pronto and hid his picture.

LOL I've been matched with 20+ guys I've already dated and where things have ended Gotten to where I just laugh each time I get a match along those lines. Plus, been matched with friends as well!! It's a bigger laugh with the friends as they are usually guys I went out with once and we both came to the conclusion and our dating would mean a body rotting in the desert at some point due to our personalities being too similar.


Just because the computer gremlins and 'personality test' say that you are compatible doesn't always mean you are! There are too many characteristics involved with face to face contact that make or break the 29 dimensions. Plus, doesn't hurt that I've come to realize I'm better off on my own scrounging up dates than EH is at finding me guys I've tried and died on already.

I've only been matched with one man that I knew. The interesting thing is that I did think he and I had much in common. He closed me out to "pursue other matches". It was awkward to be matched with him for some personal reasons, but on EH's part.... I thought they matched well.

Now that could be another reason why some people don't post photos or you have to ask for them.

Good point but I am of the mind that if you only put half of yourself out there, you will only get back half of what you deserve.

I was matched with a girl I met @ speed dating. We didn't hit it off in person, so I wasn't surprised that she'd closed me out before I had even looked at her profile. heh. Her loss
