I met alot of women with my three month subscription. I generally had a date or two every weekend. I give match three stars for that. The site was easy to use, and I had none of the trouble cancelling my membership that others had. However, the concept of internet dating is seriously flawed in so many ways. First of all, no matter how much you like their profiles, or how much you talk on the phone, your never going to know what that person is about tell you meet them. Alot of them have pictures that are not current, have anger management issues, are still married, and/or they turn cold when they meet you. One told me that I was the only one for her, and that she was seeing no one else, and like that. When I was at her house she left her e-mail open. Suffice it to say that was far from the truth.

Believe me, people have 20 other contacts lined up behind you, so when you meet them, and you think you have hit it off, don't be surprised if your e-mails and phone calls are not returned. They probably found a minor flaw they don't like and they are onto the next person. Happened to me like that all the time. Their are alot of reprehensible people like that who won't even give you the courtesy of saying something like "your a nice guy, it was good to meet you, but your not for me". They go silent. I say to myself if that is how they are, thank god I did not get involved

Also, the profiles are BS. I love how everyone is a social drinker only. I only believe the ones who say they dont drink at all, or the rare one that said, frequently. Also, alot of them say they want someone honest. Just by saying that they are asking to be lied to. What guy is going to read that, and not contact her because he thinks of himself as dishonest. And the cliches are enough to make you want to step in front of a bus. If I ever hear "I am not into drama" again, I'm gonna pour gasoline on myself and lite a match.

Also, when you see someone you like, your not already supposed to know how many kids she has, if she smokes, what she does for a living, if she's into drama (where's my gas can). Your supposed to go up to her and strike up a conversation. If she is single get her phone number. That's how it is supposed to work. Not anonymous e-mails, and silly winks. One thing I have learned with this was how to be more socialble with women. It can be very intimidating to introduce yourself to a woman, but with practice, anyone should be able to do it. If you get rejected, suck it up and move on.

So my opinion is that the last three months on match was a big waiste of time and money. I did make one platonic friend and she is great. Everyone else sucked. And don't get suckered into those free dating sites either like POF. The quality of the people on the pay sites are low. Can you imagine what you would find on one of those?
