Number 9 - World Wide Glitches

It's been a bit since I updated this blog and discussed my misadventures on eHarmony.  Forgive me for this.  Honestly, very little has occurred that is worth writing about for the past month.  Here's what is currently happening on the site:

1) I opened up my location choice to the entire world.  I have been very curious if my age group and gender preference (male) is limited on the website.  I decided to see if I get a larger number of matches by eliminating location limits.  My discovery is that there aren't a lot of men IN THIS WORLD that would be well matched with me. I don't get many "blue" matches, I get sent more "green" possiblities. Very telling.

2) More glitches in the system. I keep receiving the same 5 "possible" matches over and over again even after I remove them or block them.  Out of these 5, 3 are blank profiles.  Not very encouraging.

3) Men in Australia, Canada & New Zealand like me.  I don't know why. New pen pals, perhaps?

As of today, it has been 6 months since I joined eHarmony. I still feel that dating websites work best for younger people in a much more populated location.  So far, the site is proving this point of view.
