Match.com: One of the Internet's biggest jokes

Despite my earlier comments about eHarmony, it's very different to what you want compared to its nearest competitor, Match.con (pun intended).

In fact, from my experience on it, the latter does not care at all.

When I signed up for Match.con, it didn't have nearly as many options to help you narrow your search.  Not as much room to write answers; no pages for favorites (just a date idea contest); no most-influential-person question.  As a matter of fact, I would rather date a born-again Christian woman than just about any of my Match.con matches.

It gets worse.  Where eHarmony only gave me one or two matches a day and otherwise respected my privacy, Match.con gave me about two dozen.  Despite its comments, I am unmatchable on eHarmony, so how could its competitor possibly find as many women who were really right for me?  To boot, here's an actual email I got once:

"You have 22 new matches: eat_dessert_first from (so-and-so), CA…see more"

Emphasis added.  If you think a lonely 6' 8" young man wants to date an immature eater who is probably obese, go see your psychiatrist.

By the way, I entered in their contest for date ideas, and (as you might imagine) I had to be pretty shallow due to insufficient room.

Eventually, I had enough of both websites, so I cancelled both accounts.  You'd seener see the resurrection of Romeo and Juliet than me re-registering for Match.com; and to see a good reason why I won't try eHarmony again (even with a new email address), read my next post.
