Hey all!<p>A friend sent me a link to match.com. She was asking me what I thought about a guy she saw on there.<p>Reading his profile, he really didn't sound like her type, so I went through looking at guys. I found one that I thought fit her better and sent it to her. As I was looking I noticed some fairly nice looking guys, they had nice profiles too. Kind of gave me hope...<p>My friend asked me to email the guy for her, because she didn't really have the nerve, so I did. I had to pay $30.00 for a month subscription. OUCH! Plus, I need to watch out to cancel the subscription because next month they do a automatic renew. <p>So, anyway, I decided to try to get my money's worth and I looked for a man to email for me. Even though I saw some nice looking men, I wasn't interested in any. I did see one guy that didn't look too bad but he didn't really have the same interest as me, and when I clicked on his other pictures he had one of the camera kind of looking up his nose. What a turn off!!! Well, I emailed the guy and just told him this, "I'm not interested in meeting anyone, but I saw your pictures and wanted to give you some advice. The advice is to take off the nose picture." <p>Now that I am thinking more about it, I hope I didn't hurt the guys feelings.<p>Well, anyway, you can probably tell I am having a boring weekend.<p>It's cold, it's rainy, and it's lousey weather here.<p>ANNA<p>[ March 02, 2002: Message edited by: Anna2000 ]</p>

The advice is to take off the nose picture." <p>Now that I am thinking more about it, I hope I didn't hurt the guys feelings.<p>snl...LOl, the er (emotional relationship) has already started, probably end up married.

oh golly!!!<p>AND I forgot to mention poor Ralph! I accidentally sent him my friends info first, he emailed me back and said, I don't think I fit the profile you were talking about but I look forward to talking to you or your friend anyway...<p>Anyway, I emailed Ralph and said, "Sorry, I did click on the wrong guy, and as for me you are 6'3" and I'm 5'0 so I don't think so! Poor Ralph! The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking maybe I should just stay off match.com.<p>ANNA

LOL!<p>Never mind.<p>As far as hurting the other guys feelings, well if he can't take a little of constructive criticism then I think that he has some serious issues that could torpedo any relationship he gets into in the future. And besides you were only trying to help him maximize his attraction potentiao to the other women in the service that might be interested in him.<p>If he is a man he'll thank you for your input, but if he is a boy then he'll probably send you a nasty message.<p>Joe<p>[ March 02, 2002: Message edited by: justanotherjoe ]</p>

joe,<p>I know what ya mean! When I wrote to the guy I was thinking how full of crap it sounds...."I have a friend who wants to know more about you..." YEA RIGHT! Actually, this was a really nice lookin' guy and I kept thinking, dang it, I should of tried to date him myself...but he seemed to match my friend so much more than me!<p>As for the other guy with the nose...True, true, I was just trying to help him get more responses...<p>ANNA

HA!!! Read your response before you deleted it Joe. hehe. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] <p>ANNA<p>P.S.<p>Guess that means I am just too quick! [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]

Well I'm glad that you are very much aware of the wisdom that it is not a good idea to get involved in another relationship so soon after the last one ended. <p>We all need to make sure that we get rid of our old destructive habits that contributed to the hell that was our previous relationships so as not to repeat them.<p>I'm divorced and I sure as h*** don't want to be the old me to be a part of any future relationship.

That nose thing is what happens when you don't have a friend to take your picture for you!<p>I dunno about that puter personals stuff. My pervert [censored] tried to pick up people that way. I bet more than half those guys are married and the rest have good reason why they're not! <p>Hey, how bout trading weather with me for a while. It snowed so much last night I can't even see my car in the driveway.<p>Elizabeth

Anna... tell me about this match.com... I'm suspecting my H is using this to browse for another woman. Really crushes me...but oh well. Can I just look without subscribing? Well, I suppose I'll just go check it out.<p>Cheers!
Nicole

When I registered I put my profile on there...<p>I have had lots of responses. One guy seemed kind of nice...but he got my info wrong, he also said he has a picture if I would like one, so I wrote him back and said, "Hi, Since you got my profile wrong, and this sounds generic, I couldn't help but wonder if you send the same email to all women. BTW, feel free to send your photo."...<p>Okay, I figured he could take that two ways...one way, laugh about it, the other way, write back and be mean...<p>I almost didn't send it, but then I thought...he says he's a Christian, he says he goes to church one time a week...kind of made me wonder what his response would be...<p>His response..."Obviously must have missed the information...geesh!!! You've got a
real pleasant attitude, you'll go far on here!!! Snotty-a$$ little bi***!!"<p>I wrote him this back..."I wondered if you would laugh at my email or write back with something mean...thanks for not wasting my time any further."<p>Well, I think match is just not for me.

Wish I NEVER asked...I found my husband's profile on there... Match.com and there he is...<p>I'm shaking...
I'm freaking...
I went upstairs to show him and he just said 'What? What? WHAT?'<p>I couldn't say anything....I just left and collapsed downstairs...<p>This is only ONE thing I've found, what else is there? His profile of who he's looking for is NOTHING of who I am...<p>Oh well... he's abandoned and deserted me...<p> [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img]

Nichole,<p>I just saw your post to me asking!<p>I am so sorry!<p>I don't know what to say.<p>Are you still there?<p>Do you want to come on IM and talk?<p>ANNA<p>[ March 02, 2002: Message edited by: Anna2000 ]</p>

I bet that was my prince. <p>Nic,
Sorry hon, it really bites when they would rather surf for maybes when, HELLO, I'm right here, YOO HOO - Naked on the couch, kids are asleep. Hey, remember me? To have and hold, all that stuff?<p>There is a plethera of sites like match.com. Let's see, some of [censored] favs...<p>adult friend finder
matchmaker
mingle<p>He found that most of the people on there were married looking for extra cirricular activities, or into some weird shi~. All the better for him. That's just up his alley.<p>Oh, and here is a new one on me. Found out he used to do this on Thursday. In the yellow pages in the Adult Entertainment listing is those party lines where you can call into a conference call type of thing and meet people. I thought this was only big back in HS when those 900# things came round.<p>You can usually get a trial membership on those things. That's how I used to bust him. Put on this profile and by the trial membership you can't email more than 3 people or can't see pictures or something like that.<p>You want to see something really gross? Go to matchmaker.com and go to the swingers section. Or how bout the swingers club he went to that he shared with me by way of a nice little bacterium? That was sweet. culbncn.com The place is someones actual house - they really live there, and on weekends it is a big orgie. Nice. It is actually in some cute little quiet town near me that has the sweetest bakery and coffee shop. It was my favorite hazelnut latte place, but I can't even go there anymore because I would have to pass the swingers club.<p>I have way too much time on my hands. I need a hobby.<p>Elizabeth

Nichole,<p>I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. I am so sorry.<p>Try to stay calm, and please come on IM and talk.<p>Also, this may not sound like the time, but you need to print his profile out, you may need that some day and he may delete it since you found it.<p>Take care and let us know how you are doing.<p>ANNA

OH gosh,
As I was typing and talking to my cousin you were finding him on there!<p>I am so sorry, I can't imagine! Actually I don't have to, it sucks so much. I really am sorry. I wish I knew what to say. Oh honey.<p>Elizabeth

Well, I just hid my profile. I couldn't find a place that said delete. I feel sick now.<p>ANNA

Nicole,<p>It's almost midnight here. I am going to bed. <p>Again, I am just so sorry, I wish I could say more.<p>ANNA

Hello...<p>Well, I slept for about 5 hrs... He's managed to either hide or delete his name. Fortunately, I did copy it.<p>Oh well... thank you Elizabeth for calling last night. Sorry Anna, I just signed off and didn't see your responses until this morning... I was just so upset and disturbed. <p>I have no idea what else he's into... I just had this feeling about this one... and here it is.
