Took way longer than any other dating site I'd ever tried. After all that, answering as accurately and honestly as possible, delving into very deep and personal areas, the site told me, "Sorry, but we won't be able to find a match for you."

Apparently they're unable to match something like 20% of people who do the profile. No explanation, just "Nope, you're not matchable." I even emailed their customer service about it and got no more explanation than "we aren't able to find matches for some people."

Left me feeling just great about me.

Well, it wasnt literally "you're not matchable," just words to that effect. Not joking, and it sure wasn't funny at the time.

The only thing I could think of was that the founder of eHarmony (the guy in the commercials - don't recall his name) is a fundamentalist Christian, so maybe, being the essentially the opposite of that, I answered some questions in a manner he wouldn't take to. That might not be it, but I couldn't come up with anything else. They sure weren't forthcoming about it, which makes me wonder what they have to hide.

Hey, you should feel great about you! You just don't fall in w/ the common rabble and are way extraordinary!

I'm sure that's it.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

It was disheartening at the time, but of course you're right.

That makes for more BOO on eHarmony, too, since they apparently can't find any way extraordinary women outside of the common rabble (or don't think there are any), when we all certainly know better.

Silicon Valley eh? ...

Well, lest there's another Silicon Valley other than in California... >.>

*looks at Whitefall's profile* How "young" is young exactly?

Heh, eHarmony gave me the boot, too. I kinda suspect it was because I answered 'not at all' for pretty much every 'Religious Faith!' question.... eHarmony is not for the agnostic, ya know. :D

OK, location: Allentown PA

Don't know of any other browncoats in the area, though there must be, seeing as we're the third largest metropolitan area in PA.

Age doesn't mean anything to me, compatibility does. Of course, age largely correlates to compatibility, but doesn't determine it.

Lol, i'm 17 hehe. From the age threads, i've found most folk to be in their mid twenties, with the occassional older-n'-wiser folk.

And lol, what is with the dispersion thing. Somehow we all seem to be about 50 miles apart at least, specially on the browncoat map.
