    Fair enough, just remember you get what you pay for.

    I just heard of my first tinder engagement too. My friend played the hard game, she never let her tinder dates even hold her hand until about date 3 so nobody got the impression a hookup was on the table. It worked really well for her obviously and I just love her fiance, he’s a great guy.

    I paid a ton for eharmony and got the ex from hell lol. I want a refund. All my other relationships have been from Okcupid or Tinder.

    A broken clock is correct twice a day…it happens but not the norm.

    If you have a lot a ” interesting ” relationships in a row then some self reflection is needed. Just an oberservation ….

    I don’t have the energy for a dating app or website. Maybe after I finish PMP?

    But I have a FWB and a coworker I’m sleeping with, so I think I’m good.

    Found out I get Saturday off, so going to the annual craft show at my High School! Gonna be weird wandering the halls again after 5 years! Also…crafts <3

    I don’t think whether you pay for the services or not makes much of a difference. Frogs (both men and women) will go anywhere. Just depends on your bullshit detector and whether it’s working properly.

    Of course there are time-wasters and bullshit everywhere, but I think it makes sense to be on a few sites / apps, one of which is paid. I don’t know about eHarmony, tried it once and hated it, but I think Match has a huge subscriber base of people looking for relationships. And less sketchy people who don’t want a credit card statement, people who just want validation and aren’t ready to date, and those only interested in hookups. If you really want to find a serious relationship or marriage, only being on Tinder doesn’t seem like a great strategy.

    Oh I’d never say not to use a “pay” site. I usually have one of each being either match and okcupid or match and tinder. Since I’m “dating” Tinder Teacher right now, I do still have a profile on okcupid and tinder but no paid site right now. If things don’t work out with TT I’ll probably reactivate Match.

    But yeah, I’ve run into people on match paying for a subscription that just wanted a hookup or a booty call or were just time wasters. Kate’s right – it’s everywhere.

    My mom’s friend keeps finding girls looking for hookups when he wants a serious relationship. Even on Christian Mingle. So I think every site requires some filtering.

    I didn’t have good results with eHarmony, I think because I didn’t expand my radius enough. If I had expanded it further it would’ve included NYC, but I wasn’t really looking to date someone 90 minutes away. There weren’t many guys in my area using eHarmony apparently. I did meet an ex through Match and I know of a couple of Match marriages so I’d say to go with that one if you’re going to go with a paid site. I did like OkCupid though. And of course I met my boyfriend through a Meetup group, and most of them are free 😉

    I tried e-harmony a few years ago and thought it was awful. I only got 2 or 3 matches, even though I really did try to expand my search criteria.
