These are tough economic times. I get that. People are being more careful with their expenditures. I totally get that. I myself am enduring a 20% pay cut, which I hope is only temporary.
And I understand that not everyone has the financing to be able to pay to meet people online. eHarmony isn't cheap, but there are free sites out there. If you don't want to pay the money for it, that's just fine. There are plenty of other places to meet people. I chose eHarm because I thought it would attract more people who are serious about meeting someone and less people who are just interested in hooking up. And I'm paying actual money to meet these people (wait that almost sounds like prostitution!).
Here's what annoys me: Men who only communicate during the free weekends. I get it, you're broke. Or maybe just cheap. Either way, if I send you a question to answer, I would prefer an actual answer and not some cryptic jumble of letters and codes that are probably some lame attempt to disguise the fact that you are giving your email address. If you are really interested in me, give me a response to my question first.
Here's an actual set of questions and responses from this weekend.
1. What do you most like to do on a day off?
I'm getting in late so I don't have time to answer your questions...
2. What do you find physically attractive?
...It would be pointless anyway since I'm not a member on this site and can only communicate within it during the free weekends...
3. How do you act when you're angry?
...If you'd like to continue getting to know me, write to me at XXXXXX@ymail.com. Please include a recent picture since they don't allow non-members to view them here.
Hmm. Well it would be pointless for me to respond to this guy because I'm not interested in getting to know him better. If he can't even pretend to be interested in me, then I won't bother responding to him. He put in the least amount of effort and I will be following his lead.
And his little bit about including a recent picture? Are you effing kidding me? Why does eHarmony hate me so much?

He's a douche. Go figure. Why are all men total tools?
Sounds like they need to get rid of their free weekends ASAP!
You should also create a new email account and send that one dude a totally fake photo of another dude!
He's not just a DA, he's an MDA! = MAJOR Deushebag Alert!
I think you dodged a bullet. :)
did HE include a picture? because i am always the curious one, if he didn't, I would actually email him saying, "hey... thanks for contacting me... too bad you had so little time... but now that you do, why don't answer my questions (questions follow) and send me a recent picture?"
After all, I have always hated to spend money on dating service too (I have stupid principles) hahaha but I did find my man online.
Oh, ew. What a douchenugget. Hopefully you'll be able to weed through them before you meet any of them, ugh.
Wow.
I like to think I'm a frugal guy who is smart with his money, but these guys don't sound frugal -- they sound rude and CHEAP. I definitely wouldn't give any of them even a passing thought. Seriously...
Child: "Dad, how did you and mommy meet?"
Father: "Well, son, eHarmony had a free weekend and your dad, cheap son of a gun that he is, sent messages to several hundred women over a course of three days. Your mom was the only one who responded."
These guys totally prove the difference between paid and free dating sites :) What is sad is I bet you could probably look them up on a number of free sites and even not get much better of a response from them on there. (Not that they sound like any of that kind of effort!)
:O He is so lame!
Rondamarie: If I knew the answer to that, I could charge money for it at be fabulously wealthy. Alas, I have no idea.
Amber: That might be doing too much. Plus I've already forgotten his name.
Carolina Girl: Definitely MDA!
Wendy: I think so too!
LOE: He did have a pic, but it was weird. It looked "off" somehow. I didn't trust it.
LiLu: I'm becoming quite the expert at weeding. And I go through a lot of manure.
Kev: That's a story every woman wants to tell. Oh the horror!
Chelle: I was hoping the paid sites would help me weed out some of these guys.
Artichoke: YES!!! On to the next!
no wonder he is dateless. And I hope it stays that way for him, err..., forever!
Sorry dear friend, I just don't think eharm is where it is at....you're going to get these all over so why not invest the money in something for yourself and filter out your choices on a free site? OKC and plenty of fish seem to have an intelligent collection of people spinkled amongst the idiots.
Wow, you have some real winners there. My favorite are the ones that list their occupations as Unemployed, yet seem to spell it wrong.
eHarmony should be paying YOU to have to deal with some of these idiots.
Good Lord...
FREE weekends sounds like a trip to the "all-night dentist" office.
Rinse, spit, repeat....
If this is what you get online can you imagine going out with one of these gems?
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"

How annoying. All those guys don't sound like they are worth a second of your time.
Thank you for cheering me on! Now get out there!!!!
he is really not worth. Such an idiot.
Dude. You're the one that put that money wasn't really a qualification. So you get really really really really cheap dudes who clean out the napkin dispensers at Wendy's. Redo your questionaire and PLEASE make having a J-O-B and at least 10 bucks in saving a MUST HAVE.
I found this site using [url=http://google.com]google.com[/url] And i want to thank you for your work. You have done really very good site. Great work, great site! Thank you!
