I'm 24 and live about an hour from the metroplex, the vast majority of my friends (and co-workers) are married, engaged, or otherwise in a serious relationship. While I do get offers from these friends and co-workers for set-ups with their sons, nephews, neighbor, etc etc... somehowEH seems like a better idea for me. I'll admit though, it's not always all it's cracked up to be!


I hope you are all having better luck than I am... though I just hada first phone call with a match last night and will most likely meet him in the next week. However, I think he may fall into the "too good to be true" category, and I am a bit too much of a realist for Prince Charming.


Happy hunting!

I am soon to be 27 single mother of a 3 year old. I currently am not working but go to night school and stay at home with my daughter durin the day. All of my friends are married with kids. I do try to socialize when I am at the gym, everywhere else I am if there are males they are usually the parents of the kids my daughter is friends with. At school there are 2 males in my chorot both of which are married. So my options are prettly low. I do attend chruch and need to get more active there, but really this allows me to "date" on my time.

I am 22 years old and I am new to EH. I am here because I want to find someone special whom I can begin to build a future with. I eventually want to get married and start a family, and I dont want to wait untill im 40 to do so. I dont see anything wrong with younger men and woman joining EH. I recently posted a blog and had negative feedback from older members of EH. Personally I hope that when Im 40 or 50 years old Im not on the internet still searching for the "one". WEAK$LOVE: I totally agree with what your saying. I work full time, pay my own bills and am a full time college student. I dont spend my days and nights relaxing by the pool or at the local mall, Therefore meeting men isnt that easy. Besides I want a man with good qualities who can appreciate a young responsible woman

Im 22 and here for similar reasons as every one else. "Normal" life hasnt brought me any great guys so I figured some algorithm-based web site might. I also just finished college around Los Angeles but since Im from New Jersey and living out here, eH lets me meet a lot of people I wouldnt have otherwise.

I'm 27 and find that I have a hard time attracting the right kind of girls where I live, decided to see if EH was all it's cracked up to be (nothing yet though...)

Well, it's good to see that people are on here for similar reasons. I don't do the bar and club scene, and even if I do go out it's not with the ambition of meeting random single women. Plus I've got a bit of a geography problem for the next year or two (not like misslizzy's, but something along those lines). Like you all, I figure that this is at least as good of a way to meet people as other means I currently have available.

Hi! Well I basically joined because as JMW said because I don't do the bar/party scene. Yes, I'll go to them, but with friends not to go trolling for guys. I have some pretty well established social circles so I tend not to meet many new people, at least people I'm interested in. So here I am, I'm on my last month though, so we'll see if I renew.


I've noticed that most people veer away from long distance, but right now that's ok with me since I don't plan on staying here for much longer (hopefully graduate within the year), and then away I go to wherever my work takes me...


Nice to meet y'all!

I agree, Sakura, somehow not wanting to troll for drunk guys at the bar has left me with few single men in my particular social circles.

I am 26 years old and I joined EH in hopes of finding Mr. Right rather than Mr. Right Now. My best friend found her husband on here and it gave me hope because they are absolutely amazing together. Unfortunately, I haven't had good luck so far! The bar scene does not seem ideal and the club scene is all wrong and smells like sweaty alcoholics. So...EH it is! And even though I am getting several matches a day, at least half of them have no picture, another 1/4 are guys 3 inches or more shorter than I am, and the other 1/4 don't respond to any kind of communication. Maybe its true that when you aren't looking the one will just show up one day?
totally right on, all my matches aren't really compatible with me at all and then physically they are mostly too short. I mean I am 5'10 It wouldn't be comfortable for me to date someone who was 5'4.
