My friends say I am too picky, but I say I just want someone better than what I have had. I joined eH after finally giving into not being able to meet anyone. But here is the problem, I am not getting anywhere here either. I see these men on eH that appear to either don't take care of themselves, they look way older than their age or I just don't see myself w/ that kind of individual. I am trying to have an open mind about all this but it is so hard when all the matches you get are just not giving you any vibes. So how do you meet people on eH? How do you get them to respond back?

Check your match settings or retake the test. I found going ten years younger than I am opened up a whole new world of active, interesting, men.

Who knows if you are too picky? Depends on how many matches a month you are getting. But then you ask a 2nd question-how do you meet people on E Harmony? If you don't like them, why would you want to meet them?

Trust me, women on EH aren't model figures and many can be quite sloppy themselves. I've heard the women here are fantastic, great personalities and easy to talk to.

Looks are somewhat important to me, but I don't photograph well, so I try to take that into consideration on my matches; I also tend to be more about who they are than what they look like (based on historical experience).
I receive tons of matches, more than 50% flex (possibly because I am very remotely located); on the communication part, your guess is as good as mine. Methinks it is because most matches are unable to communicate unless it is a freebie weekend. Out of over 100 matches, I've received 10 profile views, zero communications even though I've initiated some. Oh well, tomorrow is yet another day
