This places eHarmony as the most expensive of the top online dating services, more expensive than both Match.com and Zoosk. For those members who can't pay their subscription up front, they also offer installment payment plans.
- Funny TV commercial I saw the other on Spike.TV of Eharmony. Funny because at the very beginning, the girl say: 'The reason why I chose Eharmony, is that you.
EHarmony isn't a Christian only site like Christian Mingle. The founder is Christian and when the company was first founded, most of the advertising campaigns were done through churches or Christian radio. But eHarmony has never been a Christians-only site, even though a lot of people tend to think so.
Not only that, but online dating is SKEWED very very much for women. Any kind of decent looking female will get a dozen new messages per day and essentially have her pick of the litter. Thus, online dating is PERFECT for the 'perfect' girl because she can pick and choose exactly who she wants to meet with exactly whatever amount of interaction/chatting before meeting she desires.
All that being said, I think online dating is pretty much a joke... This pick of the litter stuff commonly leads to the 'next shiny object' syndrome where women just drop conversations all the time and move on to the next shiny object they get a message from the next day.
I ran an experiment with online dating when I was using it a lot (hey, I'm a scientist...). I sent 100 'qualified' messages to 100 girls I was at least moderately attracted to, and didn't worry about other stuff in their profile that would be disqualifies even. A qualified message is at least 2-3 sentences long, giving a compliment, and highlighting commonalities or interest we share, then asking a question to encourage conversation. Of those 100 messages:
- 38 responses
- 17 lasted past 1 or 2 messages
- 9 lasted past a couple days of messaging
- 3 led to exchanging phone numbers
- I went on 2 disappointing dates.
This took months and constant effort to check online and message people back promptly before they got shiny object syndrome. I've also got to figure I've got a 1 up on your average guy... Good job, house, car, athletic, and have a bunch of hobbies. None the less, failure... Thus, it's also why guys online usually just try to hookup. There's a HIGHER SUCCESS RATE for putting in ZERO EFFORT other than 'hey wanna hook up?'
After that I disappointment, I of course had to run the experiment the other way... I sent out around 50 'hey, wanna hook up?' messages and got a 75% return message rate (as opposed to HALF that sending a 'qualified' message). Half of those responses were 'no, blah blah blah' but even of those 'no's' it led to conversations that led to potential meetings! After this experiment it's baffling to me that people still 'try' with online dating. It's a joke and is goin to fail once ever guy realizes they'll have better odds saying 'wanna hook up?' and women will not get the pedestal treatment they get put on anymore online since all guys just wanna hook up (as a result of their previous shiny object syndrome).
But when it comes to social interaction, you can do better off but unfortunately it requires severe baggage like a pet or children. Off the top of my head the most social interaction I have with women are at the workplace, at the grocery store, or at the casino when there are commonalities to talk about. At the workplace it's pretty simple. At the grocery store it's usually in the checkout line or assisting someone with a price or finding an item (this one's a better deal and there's a coupon over there) can start an interaction. And at the casino, you can talk about how their night is going, etc. And of course there is the 'single friend' of a friend deal.
And when you are single and in your mid-30s you have to accept baggage in a companion or have to have alot of money. 20 somethings will not look at you unless you can offer them a free pass and a good time at your expense. And those left in their 30s are either divorced with younger children, have large mental blocks or are are extremely ugly (either in looks or personality).
But I agree that putting out an extremely wide net is the only way you will find success in the dating site world, which means alot of work for the men.

I was playing in the casino the other day next to an older lady (she seems to be at least 60) and what seemed to be a younger co-worker. I assume they were here attending a convention or something because they had on business dress attire. I was surprised when I heard the younger girl ask the older lady if she had been on Tinder lately and she answered yes. I was under the impression Tinder was a hookup site?
Have you been successful with Grinder, Romes?
Many couples have met, and still do meet, at church and church-related activities.
But what of non-believers?
The closest thing atheists have to a church is a casino, but casinos aren't conducive to meeting new folks: its denizens are in the midst of a gambling mood, not a quasi-romantic one, and there seems to be a gulf between the two.
Churches have long served a dual purpose: spiritual nourishment and social lubricant.
Many couples have met, and still do meet, at church and church-related activities.
Extremely true.

Usually, the best dating recommendation you can get is if you know the friend of the female you want to date. If she likes you, it's like a golden ticket.
Unless she already burned her friend a couple times..
Doesn't mean it will work out in the long run though.

It is effing amazing how many people just have kids with random people now, like adopting puppies.
Tons of otherwise attractive young women with the caveat that you'll have to raise some other guy's children.
I guess a lot of guys just have to bite the bullet, but then they probably bail after they've had some sex and companionship and it starts to get to the point where they're on the hook for braces or college. Or they want to have their own family.
Then everybody's back to square one.
Or, alternatively, nobody really cares about the kids that much in the first place. Then they start popping out kids with random people.
If I was young and wanted to meet a wife, I think I'd get certified to teach English in other countries.

Quote of the year.
Gangs are using bloody car seats to lure female motorists out of their vehicles as part of a 'National Gang Week' activity
(snopes item)
I didn't even know there was a 'National Gang Week.'
I just don't keep up.
I assume if it was a bloody car seat, it might be too late. Seriously though, if I see something on the highway, I will probably use my cell phone. You stop for someone in the middle of nowhere, next thing you know, you're part of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre IV'
