For the first time since joining eHarmony, I met a "match" face to face. He was a nice man, but it wasn't a click for either of us. However, I was enlightened to a few things about the site.
1) There are more women than men on the site.
On average, this man was sent approx. 20 matches per day. So many, that he didn't have time to review them all. It was a skim situation for him. He also let me know that other male friends of his had the same experience. This explains so much. While I'm getting blank profiles (still, to this day), he's getting matched with many real woman. He has plenty of choices, while I have very few. On average, I receive 1 to 3 matches often with 2 of the 3 being blank.
He's been on eHarmony for 1 month, I've been on it for 3 months. Already, he's ahead of the game.
2) The site has many bugs that cause communication issues.
There are several little bugs to the site that cause their emails not to be received properly. As a matter of fact, sometimes they are lost completely unless you click on the persons profile to find it. Then there are the times that it gives an error message and asks one to log back in to correct the problem. Sometimes photos don't appear after uploading them or disappear for no known reason.
2) Everyone is communicating with several folks at the same time.
This was just a confirmation of something I believed anyhow. Not a surprise.
I'm beginning to believe that I'd have better luck hanging around the grocery market in a nice outfit. I just have to find the right market.
