You know. I have to wonder why these con artists would want me to shell out a bunch of money to match me with people halfway around the world that I have no chance of meeting and probably don't really match anyway. I am currently a non paying member and, while the dating scene in Delaware is unrelentingly bleak, I,m sure there is someone closer than ohio that I could match with. The matches I do have are mostly closed or on hold probably because they never got any communication with me. Well The good doctor dismisses the other dating sites out of hand at least those other sites are smart enough to let paid subscribers know that those on the economy memberships can't contact them. PHD my rosy red a*&. EHarmony also does not match on any 29 levels of anything. It is my belief that this is only fluff added to liberate you from your money. For instance. I hear again and again that they tend to match according to Judao-Christian values rather than true compatability. I do not want children and this is clearly articulated in my profile. Lo and behold all my matches came in as wanting broods and broods of rug monkeys, or having broods and broods of rug monkeys or both. Nope no way. Now how did these people get matched with me on such an "Extensive" compatability system? I think the answer is that they match people the same way that the other sites do with a tilt toward the whole Christian Idea of what family and dating should be. They look at a few factors and roll the dice. Just my opinion, could be mistaken. Go to plentyoffish or itsjustcoffee. You will at least get your money's worth.
