Dating Sites



So I signed up for e-harmony, yahoo personals, and meetup.com.
E-harmony is a complete rip off. You have to go through this hour long survey (personality test) then they bug you about joining which cost $268. They display these great monthly prices and then when you read the 3 point font and see that it's all paid up front that’s were they get you. You have to subscribe for at least 3 months, but they say on there over and over again that it will take up to 6 months for you to find the one! If you don't sign up then they send you matches but you can only see the basic results of there personality test and that’s all. You have to sign up for the premium packages to see photos and communicate. It's not worth the time unless you are going to financially commit.

12 Month - Billed in one installment of $287.40 $23.95/ month I prefer 3 payments of $95.80

6 Month - Billed in one installment of $203.70 $33.95/ month I prefer 3 payments of $67.90

3 Month - Billed in one installment of $134.85 $44.95/ month I prefer 3 payments of $44.95




Yahoo Personals is a little better. At least you can see peoples pictures, read there profiles, and send a wink without joining. BUT then what you see someone you like you wink, they wink back, but are they worth spending the money on, do they think your worth spending the money - cause unless you both join your not getting anywhere. If they join and send you a message with any personal contact information in it then they get deleted. The cost is a lot less then e-harmony.

$15.99/mo for 6 months (Save 47%) Best Price. Plus our 6-Month Promise $95.94 billed every 6 months

$19.99/mo for 3 months (Save 33%) $59.97 billed every 3 months

$29.99 per month $29.99 billed every 1 month




Then there was meetup.com. It's the best because it's free. It's immediate. It's fun. I did a search on Google for singles in the Inland Empire and the meetup.com came up. So it's a site that has groups and you pick the group you want to belong to. That group has events and you go to the events and meet people. They do have profile pages, but there not as detailed as the pay sites. It's less pressure more fun. So I signed up with Inland Empire Singles Group and they have 3 to 5 events per week most of them are free. I RSVP to the events I want to go to, show up and have fun. So far I've been going to Salsa Class every Monday - and it's been a blast. I also signed up with a Writers Group and they only meet once a month so I haven't been to that yet. There are groups that charge money like cooking groups because there providing all the stuff. The only down side is that it's hard to find a group that you would really like. If I could find a group for single parents in there 30's with teens that like movies then that would be the perfect group for me. Or even single parents in there 30's with teens, I would settle for that. It just would be a pain in the rear to find that in my area. I figure eventually when my house is done I'll start my own. The group that I hang with now seems to be singles with no kids. Oh well its fun for now!


I think they should come up with a new dating site called "what does he drive." I think you can tell a lot about a guy based on what he drives.
If he doesn't drive - then he's not going anywhere. If he drives a bicycle - then he's not going anywhere any time soon.
If he drives a motorcycle - then he's going somewhere fast and alone.
If he drives a 2 seater truck - then he's going somewhere pumpy, & bringing a lot of crap with him.
If he's driving anything with 4 doors - then he has friends, is ready to settle down, and open for children.
If he drives a mini-van - then he's divorced, has kids, but is still a good guy.
If he drives a van with no windows - then run!
