My results showed that I’m a Career Girl You like money, but you’re happy making it for yourself. In fact, you wouldn’t have it any other way. You could definitely see yourself with a millionaire, but only if he could handle you keeping your independence.
Who couldn’t see themselves with a millionaire?! Money may not buy love, but it sure helps. Hey, Facebook says I have 100% chance of being a multimillionaire myself, and the internet never lies… You will almost certainly become a multimillionaire. You are smart with money and a creative thinker. Just keep what you’re doing and you might be the next Bill Gates!
I get asked quite often what online dating services I recommend. Yeah, me. Trust me, I laugh, too, as I am no expert. I actually know a few couples that have gotten married after meeting on Date.com and Match.com (Free 3 Day Trial), but I am too cheap to ever have paid for a dating service. I have to admit I prefer being in a relationship over looking for dates.
So if you’re frugal like me, I suggest a totally free dating service such as OkCupid.com (beware of multiple pop-ups) or HotOrNot.com (you don’t have to be “rated” to meet others), or one that offers a “free” trial.
A few years ago, I tested out Yahoo Personals Free 7 Day Pass Offer, and whoa, within 24 hours I got over 100 messages from different men. At that point, I made my profile non-searchable, as I was embarrassed and afraid that someone I knew would see my profile. And I waded through the dozens of men that didn’t fit my requirements. There is obviously a higher ratio of desperate men over women on Yahoo! Personals.
I agreed to meet one of the guys for lunch since I had a meeting in his city. I said I would call when I finished to tell him I was on my way. He didn’t answer. I left a message and waited. He finally called back saying “Geez, I didn’t really think you’d meet me, and I can’t get away.” Uh huh. I have a few other somewhat boring online dating stories, but we’ll save those for a rainy day.
I honestly believe that LOVE happens when you least expect it and are not searching for it. And you know when that person is “the one.”
What I’m eating: Papa Murphy’s Thin Crust deLITE Pizza Claims to have 1/2 the carbs and 1/2 the calories of their regular pizza, but I swear you have to eat twice as much to get full. But they use a different sauce that I like better than the regular pizza.
There is money to be made in promoting dating sites. So, of course, that was my excuse a couple of years ago after I got divorced to check them all out. I didn’t want to admit I was “looking for love online.” I’m obviously not so shy anymore. Anyway, my first site to “review” was eHarmony.com. We’ve all seen the ads on TV over and over and over again. So, I thought I’d take their Free Personality Profile. After all, it is valued at over $40!
I carefully plugged in all their requested information of what I like to do and what I want in a mate. It took me over 45 minutes. Then I was ready to meet my match. It searched the entire world… not one match! NOT ONE! Thinking I’m being too critical, I went back and changed a few specifications (ie I originally said I wanted a non-smoker, but changed to accept a social smoker).
Now I had 2 matches in the entire world. The first match was a guy from PA. His top priorities in life were 1) His Dog, 2) His Other Dog, and 3)…. I HATE Dogs! I’m serious. I despise them. Always have. I will NEVER own a dog. There is nothing I hate more than visiting someone and their dog licks me.
So, on to the next match… This guy lived in this very town as me! In a town of 1700, everyone knows everyone, so just reading his credentials, I knew exactly who it was. My friends and I had a good laugh over it and actually teased him about it. He blamed it on his mother, and took down his profile the next day. He has since went on to get married to a chick he actually met online.
So eHarmony was not exactly kind to me, but obviously they are making big bucks and hopefully helping some people actually find true love and not just take their money. Those TV commercial spots can’t be cheap.
Maybe if you’re lucky, I’ll review some more dating sites in the future. If I’m not busy out on a date or something.
