I met my wife on match.com. Just celebrated our first anniversary. I wouldn't have ever met her under any other circumstances.

BTW, on my original profile I listed my political views as "conservative" and didn't get very many hits (I live in a very liberal city) so I changed it to "some other viewpoint" and voila, got attention. My wife's profile said "middle of the road" for political views, but she is actually a liberal. Go figure.

I tried that phony website twice, got the same rejection message. Screw them.

“...and found a gal in Wisconsin.”

Outside of ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ there are a ton of us Conservative Hotties here in Wisconsin! :)

That’s so sweet!

I’ve known my current beau existed for 20+ years, but we were both married to others, though were thrown into extended family gatherings 4x a year for the past two decades. I divorced last year (after a long marriage) and he was widowed last year (after a long marriage).

I had NO idea he even looked at me in ‘that way’ and we’ve been dating for 3 months now, and I think it’s going to be really wonderful.

You just never know what’s around the next corner, do you? :)

Never get into a fight with Laz over a chick. Never.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you always end up needing a shower. Sometimes three, using pumice soap.

I’ve been telling FReepers for years that the appropriate places to meet the opposite sex are primarily bars and nightclubs. I’m just old fashioned that way. This online stuff is for the birds and those who’s shyness makes social outings difficult.

Ah, good ol’ GMF. The memories I’d rather forget.

Aha! Someone else does get it! There is no way my wife and I would have gotten together if we’d read print descriptions of each other first. She grew up dividing her time between Germany and America. In America she attended officer’s balls, coatillions, riding her pony along quiet trails, and other things they do on Sunnybrook Farm that I have nothing to relate to in my own life. In Germany she spent weekends in France, Spring break visiting the pyramids in Egypt, and more stuff I’d read about at one time or another.

I grew up in a military town. Son of WWII vet cum biker, who became a civil servant teaching at the AFA. Until I married, I’d never set foot outside of the country, but knew every dive bar for a hundred miles. I knew everything I needed to know about tuxedos from Ian Flemming. I made extra money at academy balls parking cars.

She was tall and simply gorgeous. I’m short, scarred, tatted, and overall not much to look at if you aren’t a trained anthropologist fascinated by subcultures.

This is why I honestly encourage people to pursue traditional venues of meeting people. Face to face, the magic can be there, but you’d have never guessed. Older conservatives especially tend to go slack jawed in disbelief when I suggest bars and nightclubs, but that’s where young single people go to meet other young single people. If you’re out there, face to face, the magic has a chance to happen.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Dr. Warren is a wonderful man, strong Christian, thoughtful and with a great deal of integrity.

Maybe, but he has a Bwarney Fwank-like voice, rendering his commercials unlistenable to these ears. I just saw an eHarmony spot on tonights MASN replay of todays Nats/Cards Grapefruit League game, which prompted me to Freep-search eHarmony, which (in addition to the lack of more recent threads re eHarmony) is why I revived this thread.

What I didn't expect, however, was the notification at the end of the session that eHarmony had determined that, based upon my responses, I would NOT be a successful candidate for their product. What then followed was a free "personality analysis" describing my personality traits. It read like the biography of a conservative had it been written by a member of the New York Times editorial staff. You know the style: "Mr. (blank) is a strong believer in self-determination and is compassionate. He will help you in your time of need. However, he will fully expect you to pick up the slack and improve your circumstances on your own after he has assisted you." The implication being that there is something inherently "un-Christian-like" with Mr. (blank) and his policy of "tough love".

BWA HAHAHAHAHA
