I saw this problem A LOT on match.com. It got to the point where I could see the cut and pasting going on. Then there's the profiles that use pictures of porn actresses. Pffffft, like I haven't seen my fair share of porn actresses and I'd highly highly doubt one of them would be on a online dating site.

match.com, zoosk, cupid.com. I probably have a profile on a couple others that I set up and forgot about.

okcupid is an interesting option if y'all haven't tried it before. More of a quirky population there (good and bad) and it's free.

OkCupid and PoF both annoy the shit out of me. The free sites also have the lowest rates of response. Which makes sense. There's no monetary investment there. Still aggravating, though.

I signed up for okcupid awhile ago to check out what my options were. I was less than impressed.

I tried OKcupid about 4 years ago. I'd say around 100% of the accounts that contacted me were fake. Might have changed since then.

PoF = Plenty of big girls. Not that there's anything wrong with big girls. Just not my type.
OkCupid = Is pretty much full of kinky overweight women or narcissistic women who don't understand why they're still single.

I've found pretty much the same out here to be honest. PoF is slightly better than OkCupid. One of these days when I get serious about things I'll have to sign up for Match.com I guess. Seems that that's the only place where the "less than big girls" go. On a related note...wtf is up with everyone having babies? I want babies. My sister has 3 kids. My oldest friend (from kindergarden) just had her first...wtf!?!?! I need to meet the right someone and get married and get a family going .

I wasn't impressed with match.com either. My opinion was: If I'm going to have to pay a monthly fee to see the same chicks that I see on okcupid or plenty of fish...I'm not paying for match.com. Plus, the only site where I've received any kind of scam/phishing from, was from match. YMMV though. I have no idea what's with people having kids. If it makes you feel any better, I don't have any of my own. But, I hear you. I want my own family too. Sometimes it just doesn't happen right when you want it to.

Really? I've seen a lot more "hey she looks attractive to me" women on match just browsing my "Daily 5" then I have on the other two. Now given, some large % of those wouldn't find me attractive, and some % of them are likely fakers...even factoring that in I think match.com is a much better fishing ground at least locally. Just feel like I'm getting older...the window is getting smaller. I'm not a model, nor am I a millionaire...so my odds of landing a significantly younger woman as I get older are slim (plus honestly I don't think those types of relationships tend to age well). So I'm starting to get to the point where I feel like the biological clock of girls within like...my "dateable zone" is ticking faster.

Okstupid: Met an outstanding woman in New York (and a couple nutjobs.) There is currently one woman on there that makes my jaw drop. Didn't reply to me. Cest la Vie.
PoF... It does stand for "Plenty of Fatties." They compress photos so that the preview pic looks inviting, but when you see the actual photo she is twice as wide. As a Jedi once said, big girls are fine... just not for me. (There is a difference between a woman who is "thick" and a woman who doesn't seem to give a damn about how big she is.) Sadly, I have seen women on these sites who list themselves as "thin" or "average" who are well into the Jabba the Hut category. |

Yes, there were definitely more attractive women on match.com, but, after weeding out the fakes and scammers, the ratio (to me at least in this area) is about the same as okcupid. And it could just be this part of California I'm in too. It's hard to put my finger on it, but, there's definitely something 'wrong' with the women here. It's partially piss poor attitudes and the lack of having their feet firmly planted on the ground of reality, is what I think it is. I do not see this problem with women in Southern California though. Oh I hear you on that. I think about that too. My personal goal was to be a dad, no later than 35. I'm now 40. I don't want to be like Tony Randall and have a kid when I'm 79. I want to be able to throw a baseball or football or teach the kid how to ride a bike, while I don't have a walker or a hoverround to keep me from falling over and breaking my hip. I want the spawn of Jedikooter to know his or her grandparents before they die. I'm 14, 18 & 21 years older than my sisters and at the rate I'm going, their kids (and they don't have any yet), will have kids before me. So yes, I do hear the tick of that clock as well.

The even funnier part was, I made sure I put the 'p' in there as that thought definitely crossed my mind.

Met my wife via eharmony nearly two years ago.
Married in May. Expecting the baby in July. It's working for us...much more so than the woman I married after meeting in church and dating for two years. It's quite nearly night and day. Chalk some of it up to maturity or whathaveyou, but I'd likely still be single today without eharmony...and without my first born on the way. I had a few creepy people along the way. One girl I dated told me last week she loved me when we were dating...but was afraid of getting 'hurt' by me. She went on to tell me she's jealous of my wife. It was a few years ago...I'd suggest you get over it.

I needed the HIMYM hot/crazy chart for that one. She was hot hot hot, but had a felony and obviously, a bit crazy.
It is nice to be loved, though.
