My husband's best friend from California is having a HARD time meeting women. He's been hurt, used, and just generally not picked up for most of his life. He's got a wonderful heart, but he's painfully shy and he doesn't always pick up on the cues of women around him. He's also pretty darn picky.
My husband's been trying to get him to go on something like e-harmony because they seemed reputable and he finally signed up. But after filling in the questionairre they told him there is 20 percent of the population they have a hard time matching and he's one of them. They rejected him!
Oh muh gaw! How many people declare this life isn't worth living after that? That's GOT to hurt. Now how do you get over that? To start, you have no hope of finding someone around you so you try to join and THEY reject you too.
How can you be rejected unless you're bragging about murdering someone or "loving" your dog? My husband wants to join now just to see the questions his friend had to answer.
I feel SO bad for him :(
Eharmony is the biggest sucker game going. There's a section on there where you specify how far away you want to meet people, whether or not you'd be willing to travel or would want someone who would travel..... I said NO to all. Living in Mass and I'm getting "Matches" from PA, NY and NJ. What are they doing, filling their quota? They are certainly not "matching me". Also, did you know that they use attractiveness as a factor in their decision? Who's doing the rating I'd like to know? I asked the question but of course I got your typical canned "non-answer". They took me for 3 months membership but I am wised up now... buh bye Eharmony!!!!!
