Yeah I thought it was for gays. Maybe that changed. Or that was the joke and it went over our heads.

Eharmony is absolute trash these days and Match isn’t much better. Any decent looking woman can get all the matches she’d ever want on the free apps, no reason to pay.

Met my wife by dipping the pen in the company ink. But when I was dating I was told by a number of women that they actually preferred pay sites like eharmony over the free sites, because it typically meant the person was more likely to be serious about dating and not just trying to hook up.

Met my wife on eHarmony. If you're willing pay, and to answer all 200+ questions honestly, you will have a good chance at meeting a potential long-term match. You might need to have your search radius fairly wide. I am in Shreveport, my wife was in Little Rock. We met and dated long distance for a year. Now married for almost 5 years.

I had better results on Hinge over Bumble.

Most of my matches on Bumble expired after 24 hours because the woman didn't initiate the conversation. At least on Hinge they don't have the 24 hour window and either party can message first. Bumble's search filter also sucks. I kept getting an shown an awful lot of profiles of women who identified as liberal, atheist, or as not wanting kids...even though those should've all been filtered out from my search parameters.

I think both apps try to sucker you in though in the beginning. I got a bunch of likes on my profile the first couple days after signing up on both, then it pretty much died off after a week or so. I assume they feature your profile and show it to a ton of people when you first sign up so they can get you hooked and get you paying for the premium subscription shite.

I used Match.com a few different times. I matched with a 25 year old with fake tits and also an 18 year old at the same time. I was 22. I went on dates with both and ended up unofficially dating them both at the same time. It was exhausting, so I pretty much wrote down the pros and cons and ended up picking the 25 year old and ghosted the 18 year old.

That lasted a few weeks. She lost her job, had to move back with her parents and ended up stripping at the Gold Club to make ends meet. We broke up and the 18 year old obviously moved on. She is now a fricking dentist and is hot as hell, while the 25 year old I picked is hefty with a few kids living in New Iberia

frick my life.

Christianmingle.com did it for me and my wife. Just celebrated 11th year. Had to find her 850 miles away though as I couldn't seem to find non-drinking Christians locally.

I listened to a Harvard psych lecture years ago in which the professor pointed out that 80% of the people in the class could find a significant other in the class and have a moderately successful marriage. My wife HATES when I bring this up, but love/marriage/mating/whatever relies most heavily on proximity of resource and other parties looking for the same.

If the others are all still hook-up apps (met my wife on frick-frick-goose) then there’s an argument to be made that someone willing to spend money on a membership is more likely to be ready to settle down and not just use the app to validate if they’re frickable or not.

My point: go for it.

Also met my SO on eHarmony - we were each the first people we'd interacted with on the platform that used proper punctuation and grammar

Hinge and Bumble weren’t really big yet when I did app dating, but I specifically paid at Match to weed out a bunch of BS. It worked at the time. Met my fiancé on Match.

5 years ago that was true. Now you’d be hard pressed to find an IRL 6 on either of them.

I liked the idea of women having to message first on bumble but they really are and about communicating on their. I'm not the only man to come to that conclusion. Especially when their phone sits on their hands all day long. I'm glad I got drunk and walked up to my employee's aunt

Me and my wife going on 12 years. Met on eharmony. I’ve seen adds recently with gay dudes on it now. Glad I was one and done 12 years ago. Maybe actually 3 and done before I met my wife. lol

Does eHarmony not qualify as an "app"?
