Review
Today I canceled my membership. After nearly three months I had no matches. One guy got to "en communication" was obviously crazy - no harm no foul there... you can't screen for everything.

My only other communication closed my match when he saw my photo, with a lie - that we were communicating outside of eHarmony.com. Perhaps he thought this would sound better than "other". I never heard from him. All but two of my very few matche (evidently I am truly a unique catch) closed the match without ever talking to me.

Now am I really fat and ugly? I am cute and yes I wear a 16 (not Kristie Alley territory but definately full figuresd chubby, whatever). On other sites, in bars and even on the street I have met great guys, who seem to have no problem with my body. Probably because I am funny and happy and smart... and cute. I am someone who has had poems published about me, my portrait painted more than once... but this site did not let any clue of that person through. I joined this site because I hoped to meet a more bookish guy and PhD's don't seem to hang out where I do. I like the smart guys.

Also I had to lie about my age. I am 52 but even the harshest critic puts me mid thirties. I don't in general find men my own age able to keep up with me. I still follow current music and culture as well as reading the canon. I am not ready to tuck up in front of a fire with my arthritis meds. So I took 10 years off and still found the age range I was matched with too restrictive. To be fair, I always planned to tell the guys my true age.. but I never got to the talking phase with any of them.

I guess I will go back to picking up guys in museums.
