shah269 0 #1 January 6, 2011 http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/matchcomsuedbysourloveseekers After my x wife and I split up I got an email buy 1 month get 4 free.....I wonder how they knew? And with in the first 5 min I noticed there was an odd feature to check and see who had logged in within the past 5 months, 2 months, 1 month and 1 week. And as I quickly realized that in reality 1/10 profiles was real and active. At 5 months there were about a thousand people but at 1 week there were maybe 10. SO if you know any girl who is a bit.....well how shall I put it....built plushly and can't get a drink at a bar if she bought it and has a hard time with guys but does not care to become and engineer (40/1 guys/girls) or skydiving (30/1 guys girls) have her create a profile on any dating sight. She may not find Mr. Right but she will most likely find Mr. Right Now which is a significant improvement over having to become and engineer or date an engineer. Those guys are just strange. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Oh, sometimes it has been known to work. I can think of a number of examples in which it has. In one case in particular, a couple of professionals (engineers, IIRC) wound up married with children. YMMV. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #5 January 7, 2011 if true, Match is far from the worst of the offenders. It actually has women, and quite a few. Match's issues often stem from never ending billing, and a buy 6 months, get 6 months free if unsuccessful that has too many clauses to ever collect. Others are much more blatant about using shills to get free users to upgrade to paid. And if they'll do that, certainly they'll stuff review sites with false positives as well.

shah269 0 #6 January 7, 2011 The moment I saw that function on the web page where you could see who was on in 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and 1 week...well I knew things were funky. But the sad reality is this, for some of us...it's all that's there. I work from 7am-6pm, then go to the gym, make dinner and study. Every saturday from 8am-5pm I'm in class working on my MBA when I get out my brain hurts. Sunday....well a brother has to clean his house! So it's all that's out there when you have no time. And being solo and having no dates.....man that's just no way to live. You can go nutty and become a total unsocial jerk if you live like that for any extended period of time.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

RonD1120 62 #9 January 10, 2011 In my last position before retirement, a counselor that worked for me played the Match.com game. After about 6 months she snagged a wealthy, self-employed Canadian living in FL. She had great stories of how she scammed the dating site using different ID's and how she would evaluate and dump the unacceptable applicants. I miss working with her.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
