I should start this post by explaining that I am a member of both Match.com and eHarmony. I know what you're thinking: "Wow, Jen! You're love life must be REALLY pathetic if you're on TWO dating sites." Well, you would be correct, but there's another reason as well. I forgot to cancel my Match account a few months ago, and the site automatically renewed my membership for another 6 months (a.k.a. robbed me of a whole lot of cash). Since I recently got dumped (waaah waah), I decided to try out eHarmony, especially since I haven't been very impressed with Match.com (e.g., my ex, "the virgin").
Unless you live under a rock or claim to not watch TV (seriously, TV isn't rotting your brain, your pretentiousness is), you probably know that eHarmony matches you on bunch of levels of compatibility or some shit like that. Well, I've decided that that's a load of bull. Here's why I came to that conclusion:
The site keeps sending me short dudes.
As a 6'1", slightly freakishly tall chick, I indicated when I filled out the online forms that height was VERY important to me. I don't hate short dudes or anything like that, but I, like a lot of women I know, enjoy the secure feeling of being held by someone slightly bigger than myself. Plus, most heterosexual dudes don't really want to be towered over by their lover (or so I thought...).
Despite my preference, however, eHarmony sends me dudes under 6'0" about 80% of the time. Really, what am I going to do with a guy who's 5'6", other than look utterly ridiculous or rest my drink on his head. What is eHarmony thinking?
And what's even better is that some of these shorties try to start talking to me. To all those dudes out there who fantasize about being with a girl who's significantly taller than you, let me just me fill you in on a little secret: That ish is creepy and weird and no thank you. I know there are probably a few weirdo tall women out there who are into that, but I am not one of them.
