...will have most of the same population of people as the paid sites.
They'll have more to weed through... but that isn't always a bad thing.

from POF and OKCupid and it was always the same story.
They are recently divorced and broke.
Were you really unable to learn these things from the essays or questions?
Or more critically from a few email exchanges?

Never had that issue on Christian Mingle.
That's a far more specific target market than OLD generally.
Apples and Oranges.
And if that is truly who you seek then you should be spending your time at church functions
(and similar) where the serious ones are or are known by those who are there.
Anybody have good experience with E Harmony - or anything online? Best friend divorced - 2nd time & told me joined E Harmony & the losers being "matched" are all really ugly or have no pictures - or not even located in the same state - let alone anywhere nearby otherwise they're idiots who join during the free weekend - which is every weekend - make up profiles and then leave. Paying good money for it too.
My neighbors met on EHarmony and they got engaged 7 months later. They have now been married 7 years with two kids. they are both good looking people with college degrees. They went on EHarmony just to try it out!
Picture two or three women drinking wine and comparing matches & responses & such on a Friday night....
While I'm positive there are successful relationships that have started via OLD, the vast majority of ladies are on there for fun and attention. Your mileage may vary.......
Like others have said, it's just another tool in your toolbox. Use it wisely.
Two women I work with - both are married to men that they met via eHarmony. And this was several years ago. I attended their weddings. So yeah, it works.
Ask them how much time they spent to find a husband?
I suppose a lot of time!
I'm glad that I grew up in the day and age of finding a partner through friends! This online dating is such crap! I will deter my daughters from online dating when they are older!

All three of my daughters and both of my sons found their spouses through work or other IRL means, just like I did x2. I'll take old-fashioned anytime over the anonymity of cyberspace.

Neither one "spent a long time looking for s husband". Is that what you are doing? Maybe that's your problem. Find out what makes you happy, GET happy, and then look for someone compatible for a relationship. Geez you people are your own worst enemies.
FWIW, both of these ladies were on eHarmony for less than a year, closer to 6 months I think. But that has nothing to do with anything really.
In my experience the free sites attract cheap ass men.
They are recently divorced and broke.
The men are cheap because they don't want to spend money on an unsure thing, but women aren't cheap when they get membership for free, into the bar or club for free, or eat out on a date for free. Because there's a war on women you know.
Divorced and broke? Cheap ass men indeed.

And yet... they still find ways to complain about it. It's mind boggling to some men that women complain about men asking them out as if men get the same opportunities they do. It's like an employed person complaining to an unemployed person about how AWFUL it is that job opportunities that are beneath them keep calling or e-mailing them about positions while the unemployed person has to pound the pavement and still comes up empty.

So, you'll deter them from doing what might work for them? How sad.
