I met and dated someone for a year off of E-harmony from Northern N.Y. The light should have come on when he posted his picture as being about 100 pounds different! He was a heavy drinker to boot! The picture issue alone was deception! If they deceive with their photo, they will be dishonest in many other ways! Throughout the year, this man made comments about how he wants to be supported so he can live in Florida, asked me if I was going to support him– and in the end– Asked me to send him a gift card he needed for a retiring employee, letting me know he was sending the money to me, and never did! I may yet get the cash– but likely not! The moral– the gift card was a small loss– he has to pay the price of loss of character and dishonesty! A lesson learned! Be careful ladies– I think about 10% of the men on E-Harm are not phonies! Join active, healthy groups in your communities and get to know people from just spending time around them!

There are good and bad people everywhere. You can meet them in the supermarket, at work, in the street, in bars, clubs, libraries and dating sites. Just because someone is on a dating site does not make them better than everyone else. A bit less suspect possibly. I have met good women on Match.com equally as often as eHarmony. The biggest difference is that most of the matches on Match.com are real or available. The vast majority of eHarmony profiles are free trials that cannot respond back and become similar to orbiting palnets or stars that will perpetually float in your eHarmony match portfolio. They never close or disappear, they are in permanent limbo.
Understand that only about one in ten will ever respond–even if you are George Clooney (well maybe that would be somewhat of an exception).
Good luck to everyone.

Regards,

Mark

I would have believed Markin more if she didn’t write her own press release revealing her identity and referred to herself in the third person like The Rock or call herself “The Erin Brockovich of online dating.” She writes books on bad dates and hocks a reality TV show. The accused attacker is not listed on the public registry like first reported. Something is amiss.
