I quit OKCupid today...and I couldn't resist leaving them a personal note as to why.

It could just be my area, but I tried eHarmony and found some very strange people on it. They were not like the run-of-the-mill creeps on the free sites, either. I spoke with a few men from eHarmony and each one set off my inner alarm in some way. They had multiple tiny red flags. Match had a lot of undesirable men, but it was the only site I found that actually had normal people on it.
It’s difficult for guys on those sites. I’d bet if you met them in a more normal fashion most wouldn’t seem undesirable. I’m glad that part of my life is done, but what I learned is normal guys probably get passed over as undesirable and fags and weirdos get the attention. Normal guys don’t want to design the perfect page or write long eloquent messages, we want to meet a woman and get off the internet.
That's why it was so creepy, I think. When you're not great at writing paragraphs about why you're desirable to date, you end up writing weird stuff. Every profile I looked at on eHarmony had the words "passion" and "passionate" at least seven times. It's great to be passionate about things, but come on, use a different word or end your paragraph! Maybe that's why Match worked out better for me. Guys would just put up photos and short bios, which seemed more genuine. That's where I met my husband and I'm very glad dating is over for me as well. I'd really hate to be ten years younger than I am and dating right now. So many sissy men. So many man buns!
I was my wifes “oh fuck it all” date after being disappointed with effeminate men. Cave men seem to win in the end.
