I just received a request for communication and I found out I need to subscribe just to freakin reply! she's 1 yr older and same ethnicity/profession... what should I do?

Take the chance and subscribe?
Which option should I get if I do subscribe? This crap isn't cheap.
$250/yr
$170/6 months
$110/3 months
$60/month

Damn that's expensive. Whatever happened to saying hi to some chick in the real world.

Holy crap that is expensive! Like sash1 said, you could just spend ~$20 at a bar and get results.

I've heard rumours that sometimes it's the staff at these websites posing as members.. they send you messages and the only way you can view/reply is to sign up. Don't know how much truth there is to it.. could just be a rumour.

Do the math...

250 bucks is nothing to have decent women delivered right to your door.

Your better off on craigslist, it's free.

My sister talked me into the eharmony thing last year so I filled out their profile but never did it b/c I found out how much it was. Shortly they will fill your inbox with all kinds of offers to join at a slightly discounted rate. Turns out that one of my sisters friend who did it ended up on like 12 bad dates in a row and discontinued. Other firends have tried the online thing and it was a wreck, but I actually know of 2 sucess stories.

One of my friends met his current wife on yahoo personals. It was due to common interest (skydiving).

This other girl I know is getting married this month from a catholic dating website.

$60 can get you a night with a couple crack whores.
Are you really that desperate to talk to an e-chick?

my favorite bar downtown. a jack/rum & coke costs $4 and it's 3ounces (2 shots). and the fact that I'm 130lbs makes it easy to get drunk :) obviously some bars are going to be more. but $20 is a lot cheaper than $60 just to meet one woman.

I've been spending over $100 every other week at clubs.. usually for cover and buying my friends drinks too.

meh, you guys can make fun of me all you want. I met a really good woman on e-harmony. I guess I'm at that age where meeting quality women can be difficult.
