Also, maybe a non-conservative woman will decide she likes a guy who is. It’s just hard to believe that there really are guys out there who would be ok with you staying home with the kids as long as they need it. And there are guys who actually like doing “guy things” to please you, like taking the trash out or killing the big, icky bug, or putting up the Christmas lights on the house. It’s really hard to trust men, after receiving so much bad input about them. A guy would have to be pretty patient to get past that, so a woman could really let her guard down.

I did not consider myself conservative when I met my conservative husband. I could tell, though, that he had integrity and was responsible and reliable. In time, I have come to understand myself better. I’m a lot more conservative than I thought. And most of the best husbands and dads I know are conservative.

Speaking as a conservative woman, we’re out there.

We’re not as elusive as conservative men. ;-)

I tried eHarmony many years ago. I was matched with many many liberal teachers. I think I went on two dates with a couple of women who did not sound like complete leftist loons based on their profiles, and I gave up on eHarmony shortly after.

Thankfully, I don’t need such a service any longer. Happily married for nearly 4 years now, accomplished without an online dating site. If it works for you, great, if not, great. Whatever works for you. eHarmony didn’t do it for me.

I should add, that it could be as simple as eHarmony comparing your answers to women already in the system and not finding any/many that would be a match. Based on my experience I mentioned in the previous post, eHarmony did appear to be chock full of leftist loons.

If thats still the case today, be thankful eHarmony realized in the beginning they would not be able to find you a match and saved you the sign-up money.

Congrats!

The future Mrs. Bartender and I met on eHarmony in 2009, and will be married in July.

The questions that are asked on the website are only good if the person answers them truthfully, and as we all know, liberals cannot be honest with themselves about their flaws. So they come across as more traditional and good people, until you meet them.

What a wonderful story to tell your kids and grandkids. “I shopped for your mother (father) on the internet.”

My wife and I were introduced by an old friend of mine. Thanksgiving 1989. We married the following March and been together 21 years.

My parents, they met when my Dad threw a piece of paper with his name and address on it out of an Army truck to a girl he saw on the town square of a small Tennessee town back in 1942. They were married for almosst 61 years when Dad passed away.

this article/thread subject does not track with reality.

this is the site that was sued because it excluded homosexuals from the service. The response was that it was not written for homosexuals and it was centered toward serious long term commitments.

It must be some kind of data / parameter user entry issue.
There is also the possibility/probability that a match did not exist at that time, so rather than just kick out “anyone” it simple came back with the answer that there was not present match.

Well...to be honest I’ve never looked for conservative men so you could very well be right.

I agree with you that statement is disgusting.
The guy that runs E harmony is very strange in my opinion.

I subscribed to match.com in the late 90's I was on there for 3 years.

95% of the women you meet you feel like, "why am I talking to this lady? we have nothing in common." one lady said she was athletic and petite in her profile when I met her she was 5'1" and +300 pounds no exaggeration (she was a round ball.)

3 years went by but my wife for 10 years now I met on Match.com and I couldn't be more happy. I tell her every day she is the cutesiest little thing and just wonderful. More important she is conservative (I will explain if you wish why this is most important. but in two words, 'non-feminist', 'brains.' She was there for less then a month.

A coworker of mine—an avowed Randian and Objectivist—met his wife on eharmony. Don’t know anything about his interview process, however.

I actually wrote a by-line for a conservative female friend of mine a few years ago on eharmony. Not sure if their system has changed or not since then. She is since engaged, but not through their service. We did not include a pic for her, but added as the last line, Please no left wing socialist leaning types need respond... she was amazed at the number of responses she got. Quite a few from men who had listed themselves as “moderate” which I believe is a popular code for “conservative” lol

I was rejected by eHarmony as well. I went on to use okCupid and found my now wife, and it never cost me a dime! So much for eHarmony!

I tried eHarmony once. There were 12 creepy messages in my inbox there before I even finished my profile. That kind of scared me off. That and the fact that it tried to claim that I was compatable with everybody, even though my answers sound similar to those described in the article.

Look, at her age, she can’t afford to be fussy.

Look at this as an entrepreneurial opportunity to start a match service specifically for political conservatives.
