You're experience on match.com was much like mine with a few women. Starts off well, a lot of fun and then they just kind of slowly disappear. Didn't find the match experience very fulfilling because of that. Met my fair share of women from there but it just didn't reach sustainable levels for whatever reason.

I found my wife on plentyoffish.

You know going in, I thought it was too. But after doing the eharmony thing and the match.com thing, I figured why not give it a try, I have nothing to lose. Not even money because it was free. I tell you though, before I found my wife on there, I found a couple of great women that weren't about the sex and wanted a real relationship and that was refreshing and surprising.

We met when I was 42 and he was 47 by the way. We were both very clear in our profiles that we were looking for a long term relationship/marriage to someone with similar values.

I never tried match.com I did try OkCupid & POF nothing really came of either. So I found a site where I could find people of the same belifes as mine. Within a a few days I had a women message me who has everything I have been looking for. I think it helps if you find someone who not only believes as you do but wants the same thing. My faith is very important to me & having someone who belives as I do really helps. The only real problem is we live 12 hrs apart but the connection to each other is very strong, we've seen each other like seven times now. I am planning on moving closer because my moms health is going downhill. I met some women on POF & OkCupid who thought an Hr drive was too far.

I swore to myself I would never get involved in a LDR but there is something special about this women.

I'm moving for one... two there are no people who believe as I do in this area. In all reality I never planned on staying here for long, I came here to get away from the ex-wife & clear my head.
