Is eHarmony any good?

I did, it's a great option. I tried match and e-harmony. Match I didn't like because, First off - it gave me a 97% match with my recent ex at the time, who I had almost nothing in common with, first red flag. Second, the format allows for tons of initiation amongst the people. E-harmony limits it to your "daily match" amounts. So at most a women could get a day was 8 messages, where in match I am sure it is countless.

I refuse to do free websites as the girls already get inundated with guys hitting them up on pay sites and it becomes overwhelming, why go to a worse situation.

I met and went on 4-5 dates I'd say. I sent out probably 2-3 questionnaire's a day based of attractive and seemingly normal gals. I maybe received 4-5 responses back a week. High failure rate, but it was much better than match.

Of those 4-5 dates, I dated 2-3 of them beyond the first date. Non of them worked out, I kind of determined a few things based off of online dating. The girls I met, I never grew incredibly smitten with. I feel like you can have success with it though, so I am bad example. The three girls I went out with attractive and seemed normal, but for whatever reason I wasn't at all into them. There algorithms may work or may not, for me not so much.

I feel like it is partially luck, one girl I went on several dates with said I was the first guy that messaged her, and she was by far the most attractive. She said after a few more dates, she was just overwhelmed by the process because of all the messages she was getting. So it was luck in that I got to her first in a sense, and she became jaded by process going further.

One cool aspect in dating multiple woman at one time though, was the immediate comparisons you could do amongst the woman, communications styles, sex drive, conversational pieces, jobs, lifestyles, etc. I had one girl tell me to take her upstairs and fuck her on our second

I got out a lot, so online dating wasn't my only option, and I have no problem approaching women or initiating conversations with a cute girl in everyday life. In the end I decided, I had a hard time with online dating, thinking that these women I was seeing and emotionally invested in where potentially doing this with 2?3?4? other guys. Before this comes off as hypocritical, I feel like in that medium it's the women who can be choosey, every women I have spoken to said they got tons of messages a day, being 4-15. Where girls from my perspective rarely initiated and this only occurred a handful of times. So it definitely allows for women to be more picky.

In the end I would recommend it, its window shopping dating, for busy professionals, people who do not like to go out, and people who can handle the potential of a mate you are emotionally invested in dating several others, its a great option.
