lol, well the guys I've met so far weren't weirdos, just no chemistry.

Of the recent emails...2 of them were strange. One only wrote "gggooooeeerggous!" and left it at that. the other, his pictures were all of him in huuuuge groups and I couldn't make out what he looked like so I didn't bother. I'm getting really put off by the big group pics and pics of guys with other girls who are their "sister"..this isn't facebook, even if the girl really is his sister.

If you are a member of Match's 6 or 1 year guarantee success you have to send out so many emails a month. IIRC it is something like 5 a week. That means you more than likely are going to just send out random emails just to meet your quota.

that would definitely explain the "whats up?" emails then.

I'm not on the 6 month plan. Just tried 3 months, we'll see how that goes.

Good grief! What kind of BS is that?! Good to know.

and actually, I don't think its 5 emails a week..more like 5 for the duration of the subscription, I think.

That sounds more reasonable, but still... Who are they to tell you what to do if they get paid?! I may like to flush my money down the drain. None of their business.

So a guy with kids sent me an email and I ignored him as I do not want to date men with children. I've seen many people (close friends, family members) dealing with the baby-mama drama so I decided a while ago that the best for me would be to stay away from single dads. Well, as I am talking to one of my friends, I mentioned how this guy sent me a nice email but I did not reply to him because he had two kids and she knew my "policy." She tells me that I am 28 and that since I am interested in dating men in their 30's up to 40 years old, I have to face the reality that most men within that age frame will have kids , and then reminded me that I said that in 2012 I'd be more open minded and just have fun dating withouth focusing on looking for something serious.

After my 73-minute phone conversation with her (we talk A LOT), I decided to reply to the guy's email. We exchanged 2-3 emails and then phone numbers. He called me and sked me out on a date and we went out for dinner last night. I had a GREAT time with him. I laughed so hard that time flew by. He was awsome, and called today to ask me out for another date. We are going out on Saturday night and I am very excited about it. He claims he "didn't read that far in my profile" and that he didn't know that I stated "no kids" under my mate preferences, not sure if it's true or if he just decided to email me anyways. I'm not even sure if this would go beyond next Saturday but I am very glad that I decided to step out of my confort zone for once because I had a blast. Last night was great and I am looking forward to seeing him again.

Has any of you ever gone against your "rules or policy" in regards of dating?

I have learned these sites overwhelmingly favor women for some reason. Maybe more men use them than women, for guys you have to pull out all the stops to find a woman including looking over seas or expatriating somewhere else to meet someone. Usually really poor areas its easier to find women.

If something is not working then you have to do something different.
