I'm not having that problem with eharmony, but Yahoo does that to me...I get all the philly matches because 'technically' I'm 50 miles from philly. They also match me with peeps in south jersey...which is 50 miles as the crow flies, but more like 100 since I have to drive around DE, PA & then Jersey Maybe I should buy a boat to date bitches in Jersey...

Or maybe you could stop calling them "b*tches" and you'd get a date.

after catching a couple episodes of that show "Hooking Up" (ABC, reality show on internet dating), I've lost all hope on internet dating... those girls weren't even all that... and they were being picky as hell... (actually NONE of them were cute/hot) And their pictures they posted on their profiles didn't even look like them...

word. They were not very attractive and some were pretty fat/rude. Then they whine because they can't find a good guy instead looking on the inside.

I lucked out however and met a wonderful woman.

If you ask me, internet dating works just fine.

It's like going to a buffet, you look at the merchandise, taste it if you want, and if it isn't to your liking, you throw it away.

I've always had the opinion that if you go to bars, you'll attract bar flies.

I met my wonderful boyfriend through match.com. It took me a while, but I'm pretty sure I've found "the one".

Holy crap! Can't believe this was revived.

I did meet someone through Perfect Match and we have been together now for 1 year. Not a perfect relationship but I doubt we will walk down the aisle any time soon.

Anything is worth a try. If you do not seek, you will not find.

Tried lavalife when I was out of school -- have a few friends from it, in fact. Two don't speak to me any more ...

I would recommend it for those who aren't in the bar scene. Seriously -- what quality will you find there? Maybe some poon-tang but bring home to meet he parents quality?

Why not?

Have you ever been to a bar or club? Are you a lower-quality guy?

What girl over 21 has never been to a bar or club? Are they automatically a lower-quality girl based on that alone?

You can't generalize because you're only limiting your dating-pool for no good reason. Plenty of great girls go to bars, clubs, Vegas even. But, the presumptions on BOTH sides of the aisle turn it into a game. Defeating those presumptions is what makes the whole bar/club scene a challenge.

It doesn't really matter where you go, though. The Internet, a baseball game, church, the grocery store, a bar - if you see a girl that interests you you simply approach without thinking about it and strike a conversation.

Anywhere you go to meet women has the potential of throwing you a woman with an instable psychosis. Don't assume in any direction that where you meet a woman is either a great or poor qualifier. You don't know her to make that judgment - and again, you're only limiting your dating-pool.

^ You're right about me limiting my dating-pool. But it worked out for me in the end. And yes, I've done the Toronto night scene for 4 years while in college and I never found anyone remotely worthy of bringing home to my parents.

And trust me, I looked high and low (from trendy places to numerous holes in the wall) to see if maybe I was 'limiting' myself as to where I was going. During that time, I should have been focusing more of my time on campus girls / dorms. Hindsight = 20/20.

well I didn't find anyone thru any of the online dating sites, though I tried several. But I did wind up in a wonderful relationship with someone I met thru my internet gaming life, lol. (yeahh D2!!) Became really good friends over 2 years and are now doing the long distance thing. We visit each other from time to time and are talking about moving closer, just not sure whether it will be me or him that moves, being as how I am in nursing school. So far so good though
