I basically threw it in when I had the guy whip his peeper out on our second date and then 3 weeks later sending me text pics of it asking if we could work things out and this was his shot in the dark to see it I would give him a second chance..I mean REALLY WTF???
I hate it. I just let my Match subscription expire and Eharmony ends in a few days. OKCupid is hit or miss, and mostly miss. I'm going to hire a professional matchmaker once I get a new job. I don't know what else to do.

Yep, that's how it works unfortunately. Threw in the towel just a week after I registered and PAID for 3 months, when I was propositioned to be someone's sex slave and a bunch of other creepy stuff. People cannot even make conversation for God's sake. I had a guy ask me "why do you ask that question?" EVERYTIME I asked a simple question.
Sucks in my opinion. Perhaps eHarmony is a little better than all these other websites, but lots of hoops to jump through before saying a simple "hello" to someone, so idk.

See, I've heard that from a lot of women (the sex slave thing), and yet, when I try to discuss something in common (always), I get no response. I put effort into my emails because I'm not trying to just hook up. Evidently, thats all everyone else is trying to do, even most of the women. As for me, I'm looking for my future wife. I don't like being single. I want to get on with my life and have a family. Supposedly, women want that too, but what do I know.
Decent looking, well adjusted females don't have a problem going out locally to bars, or churches, or yoga classes, or Salsa dancing classes and getting asked out. So what's with all the gorgeous hotties on these sites? Simple answer? THEY DON'T EXIST! They're filler photo's maintained by the site to attract their real target, hard up guys with a credit cards!
Optiflex, I agree with you on this. I actually briefly took Salsa and am considering doing it again. Its not easy, but if you can dance Salsa, there are so many opportunities to meet beautiful women, especially Latin women, which I've always liked.
How honest can these sites be? The same girl in the pop up, that my friend in St Louis is seeing on his PC saying she lives in a town 5 miles from him, is on my PC pop up saying she lives in a town 2 miles from me in Syracuse? Boy she gets around! She's the one in the woods bent over, doing something with a tree branch with a halter top, and shorts on.

Want to experiment with this? Ask me how!
I'm sure there are fake profiles on these sites, but not all of them are. I'm decent looking and well adjusted and I'm not fake! I just don't go to church, bars, yoga classes or salsa dancing. I have no interest in those things...maybe I'd go to a bar, but none of the people I associate with frequent bars and I'm not going alone.
If people would just get rid of this idea that only certain type of people use online dating sites then it would be easier to meet quality people on online dating sites. In theory, it should be a lot easier to go on a dating site where you know people are looking to date instead of taking some indirect route of finding a date like going to church or a yoga or salsa class.
Well... maybe you should think about it differently
I wouldn't take the online dating thing too seriously. We know that there are millions of single women in the world, so it's not like you have to work that hard to find a single woman. Obviously, you want to find the right one.
Your block may be internal. Are you doing things to enjoy your life? Spend less time with online dating and more time finding activities that make you feel wonderful. Also, enjoy meeting new people. Try not to think about the women you meet as merely potential dates, but as unique beings that you can learn something from. You'll be amazed at how your opportunities to date and have a meaningful relationship will grow as you create more joy in your life. Joyful people are the most attractive people in the universe.
