The first thing I ever noticed about the dating site Eharmony was that it did not allow for gay matches.

I'd been thinking about visiting that site if and when I break up. I've never heard any of the urban legends about it, just that it was a dating site. I haven't been to church in three years, and I've been on medication for depression. I think I'd fall into that 20%.

Maybe I'll stick to Nerve.

And here I thought it was all because I was too special to be matched. Damn!

I'm pretty sure it's a pay site. There are much better sites to give your money to.

Oh my God. DUDE. eHarmony! My experience was very similar to yours. Check it out.

We had no idea at the time that the site was heterosexuals-only. No wonder they matched Grant up with a girl! Although I'm still not sure why they matched me up with BRIAN. The gender was right, but that was about it.

The non-Christian = no matches thing is an urban legend. The only time you get no matches is if your personality is flawed and devil-like.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME!

I would watch those eHarmony commercials and get all teary-eyed and think, 'wow, that's so sweet that that old man is using the twilight years of his life to make sure that people get into and stay in happy marriages!'

I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A CATCH!!! Fuckin' sucks, dude.
