    Your Venn diagram strokes the ego, doesn't it? Your potential dates are exactly those who like you more than you like them. Does this mean they'll pay for the dinners? …

How to clear Nudges, the Comeback

Posted by SingleGuyInNC on 14 June 2010 under Hacks · Comments (1)

Way back in the day of the “hold ” feature, you could nudge a match again.  They got rid of “hold”, changed things around on us and this trick went away.

However, it looks like I have found a way to send a second nudge with the recent changes of the archived tab.  I haven’t seen anyone else mention this (I stumbled upon it while clearing out matches from last year in my communicating tab).

Here is what you do: Continue Reading »

    I can confirm that this works in recent accounts. I must mention however that non-subscribers cannot reopen matches, even during free weekends. …

eHarmony matches now delivered in a daily digest

Posted by SingleGuyInNC on 02 June 2010 under Site changes · Comments (13)

So are all the different cheesy e-mail subject headings on their way out, too?

A previous post on here explained how the notification system is separate from the matching system.  Nothing should change in terms of matching frequency/number of matches/etc. but I guess users should keep on the alert and be ready to voice their complaints in case eHarmony managed to slip something in the works with this update…

    The very annoying thing about these emails (and why I don't open them) is that the links there ALWAYS requires me to log in again. Can't it detect that I'm already logged in and bring me to the guy's profile page -- or the page of his actual message? …

Match.com’s free alternate service becomes Singlesnet

Posted by SingleGuyInNC on 25 May 2010 under eHarmonipedia · Comments (0)

Apparently, as of May 17th, what was initially known as Down to Earth, the free version of the Match.com website software launched by Match.com, now redirects to their newly acquired company, Singlesnet.

By the time I got around to checking out Down to Earth, it had been rebranded as Stir.com and was more of a social networking type site where they tried to match you more on interests and where you hang out locally.  From what I could tell, it was visited mainly by very early 20-somethings in my area…

So, with the Yahoo announcement, yet another one bites the dust and online daters are left with fewer and fewer options to choose from…

 

Yahoo dating outsourced to Match

Posted by SingleGuyInNC on 25 May 2010 under eHarmonipedia · Comments (1)

Story here via the Associated Press.

Another dark omen for the online dater (based on my experiences using Match.com).  I was going to give Yahoo a try.  Oh well.

    Is the FoD quote, "If you build it, they will come", not applicable at all to Online Dating sites? Is it all about the marketing budget? SinglesNet and Yahoo! Personals were practically "let go" one or two years ago -- that's why they fell off the map and thus were sold as bargains. I wonder why …

Guys: why you can’t get a second date. Gals: why you aren’t dating Mr. Right.

Posted by SingleGuyInNC on 21 May 2010 under eHarmonipedia · Comments (0)

Apparently, here is the explanation.  It is also probably why all those women are closing you out, err…archiving you.  ;)

I heard about it on the radio and the sound byte from the brief interview with the author goes like this:

  • Number of criteria to go on a second date collected from men = three
  • Number of criteria to go on a second date from woman = three hundred
