The discussion centers around a user's experience with eHarmony after a breakup, highlighting frustrations with the platform's requirement to declare a criminal record. The user, who has a criminal record, expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of prior notice about this requirement, feeling it wasted their time. Participants debated whether having a criminal record should disqualify someone from using dating services, with some suggesting it was discriminatory. Others shared their own experiences with eHarmony, noting its Christian origins and strict screening processes, which some found off-putting. Alternatives like OKCupid were recommended as more accessible options. The conversation also touched on the nature of online dating, personal preferences, and the importance of compatibility, with humor interspersed throughout the dialogue. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of personal anecdotes, opinions on dating platforms, and the challenges of navigating relationships post-separation.

I'm sure a hardcore christian virgin is probably put-off by all the questions about sexual proclivities/styles too.

Hey! They never asked me about any of that stuff.
I might have created a monster with this thread, but I just realized the perfect solution. Evo, move to Alberta and marry me.

Wow! What a coincidence. I was about to edit my last post before I saw that you had responded. The edit was to say that Stats should be my best man. We can shoot some pool and have some beers for my stag.

I love weddings. I suggest you hire the wedding planner from the movie "Father of the Bride." I am beginning to understand him after using IM.

There's a sure fire way to get them to alope. I don't think either would like a big wedding.
I suggest you look at cakes and I will audition strippers for the batchelor party. ;-p

Edit: I need to rewatch that last episode of House.

OK, I will get a cake together but since they are eloping, the cake would be for you guys and the strippers? Yeah!?
We better go PM for dimensions on that the cake. :)

Lots of whipped cream on that one!
I just like planning Evo's wedding while she sleeps, I'd like to see her face when she wakes up with an appointment for a dress fitting. ;-)

Evo looks to be very tiny. She can probably buy off the rack in a hurry.
My trepidation comes from doing all this while "Danger" is sleeping!

Well You're right, danger does not sleep. But we are Trying to plan a wedding here.
Do you mind keeping it light and not scare the whipped cream out of us.

I was about to ask why you have whipped cream in you, but I'm enjoying the fantasy too much to ruin it.

Just assuming I was once young I had milk in me and if you shake me up enough you are going to get whipped cream, snapper whipper!~

There are some good free sites. OKCupid.com is my favorite, but it is geared towards the 20-30 year old crowd. Since I don't know your age, I figured I'd put that there.

Danger said:
That's about what I'm looking for (I'm 53).

I think a good rule of thumb is to only date people older than your kids. Mid-forties is a pretty hot age group. Of course, there is that little problem where you stop at a restaraunt after a day at the park and neither one of you has your glasses and you can't read the menus.

Danger, I'm sorry to hear that you and W are splitting. :frown:

I ran from eHarmony too. I actually did complete the whole profile for one of those free trial weeks, but stopped short of giving them a credit card number. I think they had my information out within seconds of completing the profile, because people were already sending me messages...but the dippy site doesn't let you reply to anyone when you're there on a free trial. So, what's the point of a free trial? But, it didn't matter, because they were about as far off base as possible with matches. I recall being particular about a few things...don't like sports, don't want anyone who is a sports nut, and I think every guy matched with me was listing sports as something they couldn't live without. :rolleyes: I don't know what the point of all that profile information was when they seemed to just ignore it anyway and matched me to completely incompatible people. And, you can't just browse around for other more compatible people. I quit the site before the free trial was over.

Maybe you should just tell W that she can't leave until she trains a replacement. :biggrin:

Thanks, Moonie. As mentioned elsewhere, we've already split up but are still sharing a home and a bed. We're going to be friends forever. She's not moving away until August. I hope that she leaves it until the last half of August, because the 14th will be her 59th birthday and I want to do something special for her.

I too am sorry to hear your relationship has split, Danger. I'm curious, though, if it's not too personal to ask. If it is, please just say. Why are you keen to jump right back in again? Or are you just exploring options?

The latter, Georgina. I spent my entire life (after moving back to Alberta) looking for someone. There were a couple of casual things that never worked out, and 6 1/2 years wasted on a woman who finally elected to remain with her husband.
I ran into W by accident. Her (now our) nephew had been a casual friend for a couple of years, and invited me to their table at the bar when they were celebrating her sister's 70th birthday, and thence to her home for continued partying. W and I wanted nothing to do with each other. In fact, she jumped into some other guy's lap rather than sit beside me. Our niece who is now staying with us was there, as well as the other niece whose home it was.
Next day, W and the live-in niece showed up at my house, pissed as nits, and dragged me back to their place for a party. W was just visiting, so all of us were in the same little apartment. After about 8 hours, W drove me out to the country, where we got busy in the back of the van in a friend's driveway. Then she rented us a motel room for the next 2 weeks, then we moved back into the niece's place. With the exception of 2 arguments, I haven't been back to my house in over 3 years.
I avoided making an emotional commitment for the first couple of years, because I was sure that she was in 'rebound' mode. Her husband had just died of cancer a couple of months before we met. It turned out that we do really love each other, but neither of us has been 'in' love. This is a totally painless split on both sides. I have become accustomed to having a built-in date, though, and also I am now going to have to figure out how to work a vacuum cleaner.

Most models I have seen have a large switch somewhere on the top. Not sure what to do after you press it though.

However, if would like to know how to replace dust bag, I have some experience that I am willing to share. You yell "Junior, Mom told to replace dust bag".

For sex? Surely you'll find someone before it comes to that. :eek:

That's merely a back-up plan.
