    A few years ago I tried signing up for an eHarmony account. Being a lesbian, I was unsuccessful as they do not have a I am a "Woman"--Looking for "Woman". eHarmony is for breeders only so I was out of luck. Good thing I didn't need luck though.....I'm happy as ever now with my ex-girlfriends, ex-girlfriends, ex-girlfriend.

    First of all... LOL!!! Second... hmmmm... interesting what you said about "breeders" - I wonder if that's why eHarmony rejected my husband ... because he didn't want to have children? Oh well - glad that he wasn't successful on eHarmony because then I'd have never met him...
    Glad that you've found happiness!

    I don't recall what the criteria for being rejected on eHarmony might be, but when I tried it, I indicated I didn't want kids, and that didn't stop them from accepting me and wasting my time. EVERY ONE of the matches they sent me was "involved in another relationship" and "not available." When I questioned why the site would still send their names out there if they had indicated they were "off the market" I got non satisfactory information. I cancelled my membership. As I recall, there were several emails back and forth before they finally processed my request. Every time I see one of their ads, I scowl. For me it was a giant waste of time.

    I am glad to hear that some have been successful with it and other sites. On match.com I met this guy who apparently was writing to so many people he couldn't keep his stories straight. I never met him. In yahoo personals, there was someone who got very hostile and threatening when I declined to meet him just because he was coming to my town. I could already tell from the IM's that there was no chance we were going to work. He smoked and that was a non-negotiable point for me. There were other things too, like him being very conservative politically, which wouldn't work for me.

    I started out politely enough declining the meeting. It did conflict with something else. He didn't take no for an answer and basically told me I was "stupid" for missing this golden opportunity to meet God's gift to the female population. I wrote him back an IM that gave explicit directions for where he could stick his ego. I won't get specific here, but let's just say as large as it was, he would have found it difficult to sit down for some time to come!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    As soon as I sent the message, I BLOCKED him. That was the end of that!!!

    I am now registered on a site that is related to my faith, and there is no cost because I haven't subscribed. They keep matching me with people that I cannot imagine even talking to after I read their profile. I have about decided to delete my info. I am not really "looking" that hard. There isn't much of a market for middle fifties women with three canine "children."

    Good luck to all!!
