Yeah, but for you ladies, isn't that what you're there for?

I have people rejecting me who dont even know me.

That's a little harsh.

Uuh... Correct me if I remember wrong, but didn't you just say that YOU were about to reject HIM?

And that's NOT "a little harsh", or what? So, are you saying you knew him any better than he knew you?

Maybe HE thought YOU looked like a serial-killer-chick?

(Oh well, maybe you should just call me Owl and be done with it: "I miss sarcasm a lot"?)

(Actually, speaking seriously for a moment, I thought that he looked pretty darn normal, judging just from that one photo. He projected an air of, if anything, someone to be taken a bit more seriously because of what you apparently saw as a major flaw -- namely, not showing off his dental work in a big ["shit-eating"] open-mouthed grin. A bit like that "make your own Dubya" site someone linked to recently; it had options called something like "normal smile" and "closed-mouthed smile", where we Europeans -- at least we Northern Europeans -- would call them "open-mouthed grin" and "normal smile", respectively.)

Post #249,815 by inthane-chan 3/29/06 12:25:46 PM Reply	Hell, I got rejected by them. I'm divorced, entered some fairly normal profile information except for a couple eensie-bitsy questions about my involvement (or lack thereof) with my local religious community. Bang, sorry, can't help you. Hmm. Didn't want them anyways, just thought it would be funny to see if they'd actually take me.

Post #249,822 by admin 3/29/06 12:49:18 PM Reply	Rejected because of your views, or... ... because you wouldn't enter them? If it was the former, that's a lot more pernicious than being rejected due to marital status (which I don't find problematic - that's what the service is for).

Post #249,831 by inthane-chan 3/29/06 1:18:29 PM 3/29/06 1:19:50 PM Reply	I'm sure it was views. I didn't enter any weird stuff other than that I had no religious affiliation. This, I'm sure, comes from their original "claim to fame" - that it supposedly was a Christian-oriented dating site; they've supposedly opened up since then, but I'm sure that the "20%" of people who aren't getting in are non-Christian, or at least are being filtered by the lack of participation in their local church.

Post #249,827 by tuberculosis 3/29/06 1:12:33 PM Reply	You aint missing nothing - ask bio Plus, I got in, but I lied. Was curious if it was really what they say it was or if it was just another meat market like match.com. This was about 2 years ago. Took profile quiz - seemed pretty spot on, but the pairings (totally in trial mode) were really out there. Like none of them had gone to college.

Post #249,835 by inthane-chan 3/29/06 1:21:31 PM Reply	Aware of that. I also did some googling around - got a couple of interesting comments from women who claimed that the site was some kind of old fat guy hunting ground; that they kept getting paired up with guys 15+ years older than them who looked like Andrew after he hasn't bathed for a week. Was doing this more out of perverse curiosity than any desire to find a date - I gave up on that about a month ago.

Post #249,843 by bionerd 3/29/06 1:50:38 PM Reply	I didnt indicate any religious affiliation and I got in. I wonder how they screen. And one of my matches was still married. There were probably others, but I didnt get to know them well enough to bother to find out. The site is expensive and my matches have dwindled down to 1-2/month. It's a racket.
