My brother and his wife met on Match.com – they have been married now for almost three years and have a lovely one year old son.
I would however like to know more statistics down the line about how many Match.com or eHarmony marriages last.
I think having the ability to make contact with people who are like minded, which you are probably more likely to do via the internet dating world than probably out there in the wide world. Saying that, I married my husband last year who I met on the bus, so for those not successful online – dont give up on ‘offline’ dating!
As for Matt D’s comment – if you are getting insecure about what it is about you that seems to be putting women off – why not just ask the girls you’ve been out with why they didn’t want to see you anymore and to be truthful about it. It might not be anything about your career choice etc and may just be down to simple incompatibility. I was with someone for 6 years and was engaged and really tried hard to make it work, took me far too long to actually take a step back and look at it properly to see that if I stayed with him I would just spend the rest of my life banging my head against a brick wall. Now I am married to someone who is really on my wavelength, and it was a brilliant journey meeting him and getting to know him and falling in love.

Following on from the earlier posts about how those stats can’t be possible re dates per marriage, I’d be interested to know how they find out how many marriages result from Match dates! I met my fiancee through match.com, my brother met his wife through match.com and my to be bridesmaid met her husband on there too – none of us has ever had a questionnaire from the site or gone back to match to let them know that we rank among their success stories. I do wonder how many other long term and married couples just don’t think to let them know either – maybe it’s not as bad a ‘return on investment’ as it seems….

Oh, and I winked at my fiancee before I wrote – I just couldn’t think what to write that day, but luckily he wrote back.

Hi, I just had a question. After just being told by a girl I met on Match and went on about three dates with that she does not want to continue seeing me, and on top of the fact that every “connection” since I joined a year ago has ultimately failed, I’m beginning to become concerned that there is an underlying problem, perhaps about my background. What I mean is that I live in NYC, just finished my enlistment in the Air Force and am now pursuing a bachelors degree at NYU…at the age of 27. I honestly don’t think I am an unattractive person, so I’m wondering, do women in this age bracket have a problem with a 27-year-old undergraduate (i.e. looking for someone with a career at this age)? I have contemplated numerous possibilities as to why I have had no luck, but am starting to become convinced that this is more of a problem than I initially thought. Any women or experts have any insight? Also, I do send winks 9 out of 10 times just because I feel it is honestly a good system, is it really a huge turn off in reality? Thanks

I subscribed to match.com on and off for about 10 years. I too used to hate the winks, but then started using them after I spent a lot of time writing thoughtful introductory emails without even a single courtesy email reply of, “Thank you for your interest, but I do not think we are compatible.” I finally started winking and would only reply to emails responses to my winks or return winks. This strategy was highly successful. I met the love of my life and we were recently married. Like all relationships, the key is to finding someone who is actually looking for a true committed relationship based on honesty. Match.com provides no guarantees; it just provides access to a larger pool of single people. How who construct your profile and select profiles to respond to is key in its success. If you portray superficial traits in your profile and seek out profiles with the same, you will have poor results.

I really like the Match.com service. They have a ton of members and their rates are pretty standard.

Have you seen the advert for Match.com? It promises you’ll find THE one. Wonder how long it’ll take in reality. It’s too corny to be believed.

This service is great if you’re looking for serious or casual dating. Their goal is to have you meeting other singles quicker following their “1-2-3 Meet” process which starts with filling out a very in depth profile, letting their automated system do all the work and send you compatible matches to have you then filter out the potential profiles.
