so i joined that eharmony website, you know, to find my princess...
i posted pics, didn't work. i paid the fee, didn't work. answered all those damn questions, took me two hours, didn't work.
finally it showed me 3 girls. seriously lord eharmony whatever there are only 3 girls on the planet what might be compatible? what a curse.
and none of them will respond to my emails. this is a rip off.
Been there, done that. If you really want to feel rejected try Plenty of Fish! lol
I have tried all the dating apps and I have come to a few conclusions.
1) 90% of the women on those sites use it as a ego booster. The pretty ones get 100's of messages everyday and probably never respond to any of them.
2) There are 3 kinds of women on those sites. Ones like I described above. Ones with a tremendous amount of baggage, and ones that say "a few extra pounds" and are really 400 pounds.
3) A huge % of the profiles are fake. The site owners put them up to lure you into paying.
Oh and eHarmony is the worst.
I have been widowed for 16 years this month. I had the best woman in the world for 10 years. I raised our child alone after she died. I didn't date from the time my daughter was 5 till she was 18 because I didn't want to bring a strange woman into our house or her life. Now I'm 52, and have decided that I am just going to stay single.
I give up on dating sites. I gave up on bars when I quit drinking 3 years ago, and I don't go to church. So that leaves me with very few options to find a good woman. I have found a few over the years. But the sad fact that I have found is that when I do find a single woman my age, she is single for a REASON. And that reason is usually not good. lol Crazy ex husbands, mental issues, you name it!
Maybe I'll meet a widow woman one day who likes to golf & hunt. Has more money than me. Is not overweight and keeps healthy and eats right. Doesn't smoke or drink. Doesn't have any kids, or if she does they are grown and successful and live in another state! Hates cats, loves dogs, is a republican and can bait her own hook.
Never mind, she doesn't exist! . lol
Besides, I have lived alone so long now that I doubt I could share a house with anyone. I like things my way, and I love my freedom!
