So im on the dating survive eHarmony just to have a good laugh to see how they would set me up with. but... eharmony doesn't give you the opion to seek: Male Male or Female Female
*grumbles*
that sucks man. so e-harmoney isnt same sex friendly?? that really sucks * pats back*
eHarmony is a christian-run dating service website =/ thats why it isnt same sex friendly...
Try plenty of fish, they let you do same sex, and it's free!
I saw ads on tv about a free eharmony weekend thinger so I gave it a shot. It's nothing but crap anyways, even with the "free" weekend you couldn't see potential matches pictures, you still had to pay for that.
Annoying pos eharmony is.
But ya, plenty of fish, whether for a joke or serious, that's actually a successful one (my dad used it to meet his current GF)
I know many people that use it, and they all found wonderful girlfriends/boyfriends. I don't need a dating site to find someone though. I already have too many people that like me, and it makes me sad to tell them I'm not interested.
*big sigh* Ya, I tryed that site for a whole year but it was a no go, because of my job and sleeping in the daytime I have 0 chance to find a mate, I'm on christianmingle.com but that too seems to be a no go.
Not that I'm saying "poor me" I'm just feeling that the chances of this dragonwolf finding someone will be like wining the 1.000.000 at a scrach and win. Partly because I'm a christian, partly cause I'm not bi or gay, partly cause of my job and partly cause of my age that I feel doomed, I'll still keep looking sure but I'm not having any hopes much.
In my experience its when you stop looking that the right person finds you... I met Kyris under really odd circumstances, and really, anything is possible. And I don't think that being a Christian or the job you do should ever hurt your chances at meeting Mrs. Right. You ought to lose the negativity - stop thinking that you are not worthy, or that it is hopeless, and you will see.... Call it my hunch *grins knowingly*
:3
Ah, the good 'ol church.. knows what is best for everybody! ::)
I agree with Blue. Once I stopped trying to look, I had people try to come after me. And I'm happy with the results because of it. I saw which guys wanted me for me and the ones who wanted me just to get laid. It took a while, but it was well worth the wait.
Yeah I signed up as well for their free weekend thing. I found the majority of their questions on their stupid survey to be total BS, I never finished it. Now they pester me with at least 2-3 emails a day for me to finish, even after deleting my account. I was unaware that it was Christian-run; that explains a lot. FFS I'll be 40 next year, and still single! Even so, I'm probably too cynical to get into another relationship again.

I never said that, I just don't think that your religion should necessarily define you. I am not one to say "I am not going to date that man" because of his dogma, I feel that somewhat shallow. I will only say that when the guy says "You are going to hell when you die because of your beliefs, let's get some coffee sometime?" lmao :3
(p.s. that's never happened to me, just an example lol)
Religion is only important to me when it comes to dating because people bash at the fact I practice Wicca. People seem to think it's a devil worshiping religion.
If the person doesn't care on the other hand, then I don't find religeous beliefs to be all that important.
I agree on that, Wrath :birdy:

I was just making a silly, anti-religion quote, not directed at anyone and the smiley was supposed to be the eye-roll one.
"You are going to hell when you die because of your beliefs, let's get some coffee sometime?"
Ahaha awesome line!
In all honesty I don't care what anyone's religion is or what they believe in. Just don't try to force it on other folks, that I dislike very much.
Ya, pushing and looking down at others cause they don't belive in what you belive I feel is wrong. For me I belive that God is God, it's His choice what happens wether anyone likes it or not, if my little actions afect His choices then He wouldn't be God now would He? So I don't try to make others belive what I belive cause that only puts up walls and communacation dies.
All in all it is the actions of the person that speek the loudest, not words. Also if I thought I was better then another person then I would be in the wrong, not the person I was looking at.
tried Eharmony, didnt find any one. got hooked up with my ex again and things are running smoothly. she's christian and i'm Crazy. i dont follow a religion and putting me in a church is a death wish. it's like throwing a cat in water. gotta get out of there. dont know what it is, but i cant stand them
*pats pats* But what if you were invited to a friend's wedding Red?? You'd just wait outside??? Or worse yet.. what if you were asked to be part of the wedding party?? Then you'd have no choice but be in the church! bwahahaaa (no I aint gettin married, just sayin'..)
i think i could bear it, might have to have an ear bud in playing hard rock to quell my feelings of "LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE" and afterwards...i go to my car and relax. maybe start it and let the V8 sing to me before going back in.
I feel that you are your own sacred space. Nobody can take it away from you except yourself, and it's only special if you believe it's special.
Technically the building is a chapel, the people are the church. People have gone to church even if it has been located in a school auditorium, or outside, etc. The community participating in mass is what the church really is. And therefor I feel that you don't need to go to a building to worship your God. You don't need a priest either, some people find it nicer to follow their intuition on how they participate in their own beliefs.
I feel the same way Wrath... I also don't belive that a person needs to be tide down to a bilding for then to be close to what they belive, I don't do the church thing but learn, talk with and study God at home.

I'd bash you on that but you curse me some I'll just hide behind this rock over here >.> lol ^w^ Wicca is cool :3 and magic is fun :3 untill it goes wrong... horrible horribly wrong D:

putting me in a church is a death wish. it's like throwing a cat in water.
Or in other words sweating like a hooker in church lol :3 makes you wonder if the building is lighting proof....
i dont like eHarmony just on the fact of no m/m of f/f :/ some people need to just get over themselves and stop hiding behind a book that has been proclaimed gods book.... no offensive to anyone out there but it cannot be god's word in there. It was written by men so it cannot be trusted as. Its not like it floated down from the sky in the arms of an angel.... and how do we know that there is only one god, what if there is more then one and the bible is about the wrong one... now your in trouble
:p
anywhos....
online dating sites do kinda suck well ok they do suck -.-
God, no God, belive, don't belive, like, don't like, do or don't do, it doesn't mean others should juge you. Yes I belive the Bible is true and yes I belive that if others don't belive in Jesus that bad stuff will happen to them, does that mean I have any "right" to be unkind, uncareing or put them doen for what they belive or not?... a BIG "N" "O" at that. I let God be God and do what He tells me, anything else is bullshit and silly humen crap tacked on to there beleafs that is wrong and should not be.
Will I mate or have as a mate a person that is not like me in my beleafs? no but that doesn't give me the right to treat them like 2nd class people because of it? No, nor will I rub it in others faces eather... Cant people just be nice and kind to each other with out all the fighting and pain? *sigh*

God, no God, belive, don't belive, like, don't like, do or don't do
Noodles, no noodles... sorry couldn't help that one XD
continue meaning full conversation *wanders off*
Hehe funny, just like a furry to post something random, thats another reason I like this fandom, we all know how to not take things SO much of a big deal, sometimes it's good to be silly and fun, can't get to stressed out :p
Now I'm al dente.
: Blue February 21, 2010, 03:07:36 -07:00
Now I'm al dente.
Heeeeeyyyy Macaroni!! XD
Okay.. I'll REALLY get off being off-topic now XD
there was a group of people who tried taking eharmony to court over the whole gay thing.
I've done the POF site... more of plenty or trolls and haters with no lives... I found my wonderful partner of over a year though the personals on craigs list !
