ScottK,

I'm glad you didn't take offense to my post. I know you had good intentions when you wrote it, it just came across wrong to me. I certainly didn't mean to be as nasty as it must have seemed.

I put considerable thought, time and energy into my EH matches -- or rather, as much as I can before it ends. It just never seems to go anywhere.

After a disappointing run with contacting the guys, I decided it would be easier if I just respond to those who contact me. And it DOES seem to go easier. Those who contact me seem to be more motivated to follow through with the communication. I just signed up with EH again after taking a break from dating for about a year and a half and this time around, the only ones who have contacted me have been scammers asking for money. I NEVER had that problem with EH before (or actually anywhere else for that matter) and I'm NOT happy about it, to say the least.

Even though I hadn't found someone with EH before, I met a number of great guys and had a very positive experience. It seemed to me that EH gave me much higher-quality matches than anywhere else. But now, EH is bigger than ever before and the riff raff has invaded EH too.

Michelle

My membership is up Sept 8. I have over 3700 closed matches. I gave it one more try for 3 months starting in July. Had 1 relationship lasting about 3 months, about 30 one dates, 10 two dates and 3 three dates. I am tired of sending the first questions then seeing "waiting for her answers" . This is not working for me, maybe I will meet somone on my golf course job. I wish everyone more success than Ihave had, Bill
I hope you'll stay on here, Bill, and continue posting!

I was a EH member for over a year. Mostly met liars and losers! EH needs to take more care in who they allow on this site. Alot of the men turn out to be married for crying out loud!





Give me a break! EH is expensive people!

I had a one year subscription. I got a ton of matches in the beginning and a few dates until I realized my "wants kids" setting was set to "maybe". I absolutely do not want kids. When I changed that setting to "no", there were very, very, very few matches and they were all long distance even though I asked for local only.


As someone looking for a relationship but not kids, this was not the place for me.

I've been with EH for almost two weeks. Lots of matches but no one interested in me. I usually iniciate the communication but they don't respond. I'm also with Chemistry.com and got a few matches there and almost got one date.It was my first date after many years, so Iactually got scared and told the guy that I was busy and could not meet. Now I feel guilty. Some people like me are not ready to go into aromantic relationship right away. We forget that this is a dating site and not a place to make friends.

wow! I've never heard of that! maybe you stated somewhere that you were separated, and not divorced yet? Try one of the online Meyer-Briggs test (that is what this stuff is based on); how do you place on those parameters? some combinations are rare, like 3-05% of the general population, but still, there is not an infinite number of combinations.

I have been on several of the big sites - match, yahoo, chem, etc.and I actually think the quality of guys has been better on EH. I attributed it to the fact it costs more money - maybe it weeds out the people who aren't so serious about actually finding a relationship?
