I wish I had found this site prior to signing up. My expectations were not too high after week one but I figured I would give it a chance. I had been on Match for a while and that site is no longer what it was. They have disabled all the ways for people to contact non-members. They got rid of on-line IM's. Non-members can no longer read emails or even know who emailed them. People are emailing non-members that cannot respond unless they sign up. I heard that they were caught sending emails to people from their staff. I figured I would get off Match and try eHarmony. My friend said the men there are more serious about meeting someone not just meeting many women for sex. I thought what the heck. The questionaire was never ending and sometimes pointless. What was with the finger length question? When I was done, my compatibility profile said I would best be matched with a man who was indifferent about children and didn't want them in his house. I am 46 and a single mother. I freaked out. I figured it was because I said my parents were not too attentive. So I guess you are stuck with someone who parents like mom or dad. As others have said customer service is worthless. Don't waste your time emailing them. I emailed for a week and finally they let me retake my questionaire. At first it said my potential mate valued being a parent and liked kids, then the next day it was back to someone who didn't like them. I emailed them again and got more form letters even though my subject said "no form letters." There thing is "keep an open mind" and don't worry about slight details. I didn't see how I would get along with someone who didn't want children in his life and how that was minor. I did after a while call and that person actually gave me some answers. They told me that even though I retook the questionaire the report would stay original. She said my matches were based on the retake. I have to wonder. I said I wasn't happy with the way the profile read. How could I show that to anyone? What would they think of me if they read my mate would best be someone who didn't like kids and that he wanted to spend his time focusing on other things? Besides that, I am a tall woman and I keep hearing from guys on here how woman just care about height. Well I don't see any ads for success stories with women 4 inches taller than the guy. That is what my matches are (from 5-2 inches shorter) and I am not even talking about with shoes. I have one match that is taller than myself and he was given to me in the child-hater stage. Not sure I am interested. I have not talked to one guy and have not received one I care to talk to yet. My matches have not contacted me either. I wonder if they are even members any more. I don't like that. The guys look like they are educated and decent but I don't know why height is a non-factor. My ex was shorter and I am no longer open-minded that way. They also preset women to date men who are ten years older and only three years younger. I would like to know what they set mens' age preference to. I get men in their 30's hitting on me when going out and actually like younger guys. I changed that but then if the mens' are set to only date much younger women then what good is that. Why can't they make it 5 years younger and older for both? I wonder if they are even more picky than I would be. If I meet any guy off there I will be shocked. I am tall, very attractive and well educated. Do they have 0 guys that would want to meet a tall attractive educated woman? If there are any nice guys in W burbs that want a date, tell me where you are hiding.

To the guy who keeps getting billed - contact your credit card company and deny the charges in writing.
