E Harmony introduced me to a couple of very dear friends but was definitely not a good partner matching tool. I'm attractive and active in the outdoors, and also tall. I began receiving a volume of matches of men who were obese and significantly shorter in stature. A conversation with a customer service agent was rather telling. "We don't focus on the outside, just the inside."

When I explained that recreational compatibility is rather significant, especially for second marriages when children are grown or with people who have chosen not to have children, a well-rehearsed set of answers ensued.

Apparently Dr. Warren knows women better than we know ourselves (or knows men better as well?). He must know that someone who is sedentary in attitude and interest is perfectly matched to go skiing with someone who has a different energy level and who has only played 3 computer games in her life.

I guess that's the Christian way of marital success. Just take anything that comes and hope God will do the rest.

I'm saving a lot of money using other services, including the traditional introductions from friends. Maybe the pendulum will swing back to a direction of normalcy in human relationships, because this method just doesn't seem to work....unless Dr. Warren has found someone with whom you're standing at the altar this weekend.
