match dot com

well I did meet my wife on it's predecessor. We will have been married 10 years in Feb

but then again her ad was under situations wanted. she was looking for someone to go biking with

My sister met her husband on it. I have a good friend that met his wife on eharmony. Based on *loose* experience, the hit rate on match girls is about 90%. Just saying...

It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Just sayin....

You can meet some cool chicks too.

Met my current gf of a year on match. Whats funny is that all the girls I've met on that site is that they all say the biggest thing that guys lie about....their height. My girlfriend only went out with me because she thought no way in hell is there such thing as a 6'4" chinese guy.

I met my wife speed dating. That a a trip 20 women in an hour.

Did the match.com thing for a month. Met some interesting girls. Most common lie I found was their body type... Athletic huh? Yea right. Got slapped hard once cuz when I met up with her for coffee, she was MUCH larger than she let on. The pic I saw was prolly 10 years old. When I called her on it...

Her: Hey. Real women have curves
Me: I agree, but they don't have rolls
Her: Fcvk You... and proceedes to slap me

Woulda still gone out with her if she showed me her real pic. She was cute. It's the blatant lying that I detest.... at least she didn't kick me in the nuts

I have to agree with that. Seems like the most common thing for girls to do is use old pictures and lie about body type. 30lbs over weight is not 'athletic'. I think girls more have to worry about guys being creepy and guys have to worry about girls being ugly or fat. You start to recognize trick photography too. Only head/shoulder shots = fat. There is also the trick of shooting pics from an angle so you can't see how big their ass is.

That has to be a joke...

I tried match.com a while back after i got divorced. I'm one of those guys that doesn't llike to go out to bars, and i sure as hell don't like the girls that you meet at those places. I'm also the kind of guy that has no game with the ladies when it comes to walking up to them at random places and asking them out. that being said, i met my wife on Myspace of all places. Similar situation. She actually emailed me first. Woohoo for me. She's the sh!t too. There would've been no way that I would've ever approached her in person. I keep wondering how an ugly sucker like me got lucky enough to score her. hehe.
I think online dating or trolling is way easier than blind dates. You don't have to deal with all of that awkward crap if you don't want to.

I did it for about two months.

85% rate of return. Worth the $40 I shelled out in my opinion.

Met one I really liked, but the timing/lifestyle was way off.
I figure between bars, match and having a lot of married friends who are always whoring me out, its been a good post-divorce time.

ROFL

i tried match.com back in 2003 and met my wife. been married for 3 yrs now. so i guess its worked well for me.

fvcking awesome!
+ rep

I met my ex-wife on Yahoo personals

A big part of me wants to bring about the first Ride Monkey/Match.com hogging contest...

i went on a handful of dates out of many winks, flirts, IMs, messages and "you are compatible with" notifications.

0 turned into anything exciting or long term
1 turned into a casual FWBs
3 i couldn't wait for the date to be over
1 was a great one night stand

i haven't renewed my subscription but i guess they still show my account because i continue to get notifications of flirts. it WAS addictive and fun at first...but after awhile of really NOT finding someone it became boring.

i'm sticking with not looking for the moment.

Never tried it myself but a friend of mind used it a good amount. Seemed at least no worse than throwing yourself out with the general population- plus probably a bit easier and less awkward. She had a bunch of so-so dates and has been with a guy she met on it for a little while now.

When I lived in the middle of the desert and the AOL.com and Onion.com and a few others were still free, I scored a few fun dates and one GF of several months off of it. Certainly she was the least attractive chick I'd ever dated, but probably the best in the sack.

Got several of the "athletic" girls myself. One even told me she loved me after our first date/one-night-stand... (She was half Japanese and said she "had a dancer's body" in her profile. Thought that was sort of can't-miss for slimness...however, that turned out to be a slightly dated claim. Still ended up with condom wrappers spread all over her bedroom mixed in among her Christian youth advisor literature...) She also farted when I was being the cunning linguist; possibly the most heinous gas I've ever smelled out of a human being.

Of course, another said she was a "kickboxer," which I thought meant tae-bo every Tuesday. She was a 6'1" blonde Peruvian of German blood who broke other women's jaws in the ring for fun. Cute, too. Awesome one-night-stand. She drove out to the desert from LA for our first date, and brought a friend. Hike in Joshua tree, then embarrassingly loud (in retrospect only, of course) drunken sex while her friend was 'sleeping' (ie cringing with her hands over her ears) on the floor of my spare bedroom/junk/bike room, which I was too dumb to parlay into a 3-way. Not that her friend was great-looking, but hey-- potential 3-way! Quantity counts for something.

Onion.com personals still look like a pretty simple way to meet generic semi-sexy tattooed librarian chicks with the generic set of 90s-alternagirl issues...but now that I'm married to one I haven't looked in a while.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I feel dirty now.

I felt dirty just reading that. I would rep you, but I don't know if it should be pos or neg.

Met my wife on match.com. We just passed the seven year mark.

We both have some interesting stories from various dates before meeting one another.

Good times, good times.

Signed up yesterday and have a date for Saturday. I'm not into the whole thing but being out of the game for my whole 20's, being with my ex-wife for 7 years, I am just not into the bar scene anymore.

There are a TON of fat chicks though, eekkkkk.

There are about 4-5 good looking girls in the Burlington area which kind of sucks.

Tell me about it. Although I don't want to end up with someone younger than me again. Someone with a career and a life plan. My ex-wife was only 3 years younger but was a student and still doesn't have a career or life plan which sucked.

HOWEVER, being in a college town does have its benefits if you know what I am saying. Beer and college girls=great nights!!!

A good tactic is to exchange a few emails, maybe get a number...blah blah blah....then try to get their facebook or something. A lot of times you will see some very different pictures. I learned my lesson a the hard way after seeing girls that can look cute certain ways in pictures on match, but then look like harpies in person. Facebook usually has more pics, plus pics people get tagged in. You can make sure they look like what they say they look like.

I don't want to seem mean, but I'm tempted to post up my best example....

just find some cougars on craigslist

The cougars come to you on match. You know if you're in your 20s and a 30 something hits you up, she just wants a roll in the hay with a young buck.

Also, FWIW, check out plentyoffish.com. Basically the same thing as match, but it's totally free.

wtf is a "harpie"?
