Has anyone tried Match.com?

[lunalinda]

I'm a member there already, but I don't check it often.

And OH GEEZE!! I got that same eharmony message too!! lol wow.

I thought I was weird or something. What a waste of time, though. That test took hours and then I get that "oh we're sorry you don't count" kinda thing. I'm like WHAT?

lol This e-harmony message is starting to get infamous . . .

I don't think I'll become a member at Match, but I might subscribe to Christianmingle for a month and see what happens-I've been getting a lot more hits there.

Maybe try Christiancafe.com too. I just signed up for the 10 day free trial on there. I've messaged a few people but haven't gotten and messages or responses.

Match.com is a complete waste of time. The females on there have questionable reputations at best. Many of the females are <edit> and have unrealistic expectations. So if you are not tall. dark, handsome, and rich then you are up the creek. It sucks, but that is the way it works on Match.com

I went on Christian Mingle the other day and have gotten a few hits from men-everywhere from North Carolina to India and Morocco My profile says my ideal match is 50 miles from where I live!

I had the same thing happen to me. I was on Christian Cafe for abit and I had a fellow from Africa send me a note that requested that I send him some more pictures of me so that we could get married. I was hoping there was some translation problems there, but no, it was just as he said.

Some days I just don't think that online dating is worth the effort , but other days I see that there is at least one guy from my area who is interested in getting to know me better However, this guy might be the shyest guy on earth!

CM does have a positive side effect for me-it has motivated me to search more earnestly for jobs! That's at least a praise.

Maybe we should start our own Christian dating service Just a thought . . .

Not only be careful with who you talk with but also the circumstances involve. Sorry that happened but also some people aren't who they say they are.

I have tried many online dating sites, no luck. I guess the Lord doesn't believe I am ready to meet my husband... That's OK with me though, it just gives me more time to serve Him!

 

[SuperTech]

Yes. However, I usually get bummed from getting no responses or responses from people I am not interested in. I have a hidden profile on Match.com and Yahoo personals, because I hate ignoring people. Besides, I'm always worried someone will recognize me from the web site at work or something and will think I am pathetic based on that. The sites are also usually stale with the same people.

I talked with the guys at work and they think I should move out of my parent's house because that is what is inhibiting me from meeting women. I don't quite buy that. Oh sorry, I went way off track, so I'll be quiet now!

Actually, I think they are right. Woman tend to look down on a guy who still lives with his parents when he's got a job and has the oppurtunity to be independent.

Err...yeah, I agree. I'm on the lookout for a marriage, and a guy living with his parents isn't the best start. Oh I don't completely rule it out, of course. There are still exceptions. My 22 year old cousin still lives with his parents and is engaged. He has a brand spankin' new house built already, but will not move in until he's married this April. The house has been standing for just under a year. So I think it's a matter of WHY the man is with his parents. If he can afford to move out and be on his own, then go for it.

But personally, I'd prefer a guy who's out on his own, or is at least shooting for it. Because that just shows that he's financially set and all that, and I wouldn't have to worry about being the last priority if I'm involved with him while he's transitioning from parents to going solo. Cuz that's not easy either. To constantly be cast aside while a guy tries to be more a man (find a house, get a great job, etc) Oyyy...

Very true. CM has a good list of safety measures that people should follow.

Perhaps that the attitude that all Christian singles should take, but it's difficult when S.A.D. is just around the corner.

Are you near Texas by any chance

Hey, I still live with my parents while searching for work. Adult children who live with their parents seem to have good relationships with them and love them-that's always a star in my book!

[ChrisWins]

Just wanted to say - about living with parents or a parent - I think someone said there are exceptions and I can think of one right now: let's say a son or daughter has moved back in, after being on their own, with one or both parents to care for them while they are ailing. To me that would be 100% acceptable. Technically 100% is the limit but truly I was thinking more like 110 to somewhere around 150% acceptable!

 

[superdave]

I didn't get that message from eharmony...in fact, I had 6 girls match perfectly to me--and as far as I could tell fit me perfectly. It's not a joke...you just have to have all "29" Deminsions of Compatibility to match with someone else. Some people just don't have it.

 

[fluffy_rainbow]

I steer clear of personal ad sites. Anyone can put anything on there, not to mention, pick'ins are pretty slim when it comes to meeting genuine Christian people. Not to mention, while I'm not opposed to meeting people online, personal ads almost seem like rushing God's plan. Just my .2 1/2 for the day.

 

[ChrisWins]

I've never used a dating site. Can't say I never will but I super highly doubt it. I wonder, though, if God has something good in store for somebody through one of those sites. He does work in mysterious ways, they say.

 

[JPPT1974]

As far as sites:

www.loveandseek.com
www.christiancafe.com
www.christianmingle.com
www.singlec.com

Thanks a lot my friend as I will.

But why? I would not look down at a woman that lived with her parents. I do have a job and my own car, but I do not see the need to move into an apartment when I could live at home and build up money for when I want to move out. Maybe even a house....

Oh well, I guess I'm in the minority opinion!

Why is the sky blue? Why is water wet? That's just the way it is. Women don't HAVE to be independent. That's just the type of unwritten rules that society has established. Men are supposed to be the providers and caretakers, and being out on our own is a sign that we are financially stable and independent. I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, but that's just how the majority is.
