And the poor Holstein boy whose prank went unappreciated!
bump – the link didn’t work. What’s your username at that site?

Very euphonious.
Drex, it was eHarmony.com. I don’t know how popular it is outside of L.A., where I used to live, as the site was based out of Pasadena.
I would suspect the male-to-female ratio is better on eHarmony, but that is just MHO. Two female friends I showed the site to thought it was great, but a male friend I showed it to thought it was “sensitive guy crap!” (his words). So, if you’re a “sensitive guy,” or pretend to be one, I’d recommend a look. (But do try to cut through all the “soulmates” and “life partners” nonsense, as they really overegg that pudding.)
Honestly, I think you do not have an accurate idea of what women weigh. I’m 5’5", weigh 132 lbs., and am a size 6/8.
flyboy88, I know how match.com organizes their data with updates, that doesn’t mean I believe them.
I’m in a pretty small city, 15,500 people, so I know a few people on match.com so I know how they really look & usually when they say ‘a few extra pounds’, it refers to 50 or 60lbs.
Thanks Matey 
Somewhere up there someone was saying that close up pictures are from people who have something to hide, I disagree, Like on Cupid, you can only add one photo, and I put the best one I have on, not the one that hides everything, If wanted the one that hid everything I would have donned a Burka and said cheese.
My room mate has had luck with Match. com, and Yahoo personals. I am just trying cupid right now.
bump – damn, you’re cute! If I were 20 years younger, a Texan, and looking for a bf, I’d definitely be interested! 
FTR, I read a few years ago in the newspaper that the statistically average female in North America is 5’4" and 150 lbs, while the average male is 5’9" and 180.
I met my wife (the infamous featherlou) through love@aol. I had no real trouble getting responses, although finding someone I felt was compatible was challenging (and no, it had nothing to do with looks).
I felt that online services were my best option as a guy who works in a male dominated, blue-collar industry and whose friends were all hooked up, so they couldn’t play matchmaker. I’ve never done the bar scene because the sort of person you find trolling for a date at bars is generally not the sort of person I like being around. That left dating services. It took me upwards of five years to find someone worth pursuing a relationship, but I did find the right one eventually.
In an effort to answer this question (and avoid my homework) I poked around several dating services and tested to see if guys do have a clue of weight-size on women.
In general, I’d have to say no.
One sweet, understanding, sencitive guy had a height range for his prosepective dates that topped out at 6’3". The corresponding top weight was 140 lbs.
A six foot three woman at 140 pounds would be near skeletal. I’m six feet tall and if I weighted 140…I know I’d be frieghtened.
Thanks! That made my day!
I signed up for that one - supposedly, they’re should be able to find 3 matches for you within 3 months or else, they’ll return your money.
As you can see how many matches you’ve got without paying, (you just can’t respond until you do pay) I signed up.
Zero.
Yep, I am apparently so undesirable, that I could have gotten my money back from a matchmaking service. If that’s not an ego blow…
of course, it was pretty much what I was expecting… my luck on these services has been non-existant. The few responses I get (from what I hear, some women are inundated… I’m not. Perhaps because I call myself “average” in weight) are clearly scattershot types - obviously written to every woman on line. Every other word misspelled, creative punctuation (what does 3 commas in a row mean?), generally lewd, 20 years above the specified age range, etc.
Jeez, amarinth, I’m sorry to hear that. As I mentioned, eHarmony is based out of Pasadena, so it could have been that there just weren’t any people signed up in your area. I think that may be the case with where I live (north of Niagara Falls), so I’m reluctant to try again.
Plus, eHarmony has the annoying feature that it won’t let you decide for yourself what age range, geographical range, and a few other ranges you want to date in, so you get stuck with what they decide for you.
But hey, at least you get your money back. I got zeroed out of two sites myself (match.com and udate.com) and had to eat the money. Buy yourself something nice with the refund money, man!
All this size of women stuff is ridiculous. Everyone likes different sizes. I have found my rule of thumb that seems to work pretty well.
5’0 -> 100 lbs
For each additional inch, add 4-5 lbs.
This has worked well for me.
I’ve personally enjoy The Onion, although not enough people are smart enough to contact me. (I refuse to pay.) Can anyone here figure out how to contact me from the information in my profile? I’ve only gotten 3 ppl to write me… My username there is sixo also. Take a look and see. Can you figure out my email address?
PS I’m sorry to those that think I’m a jerk for perpetuating ‘skinny’ girls. That’s just the way I like them. Two of my best friends in the world are women, and I love them to death, and they love me, but I just can’t bring myself to be sexually attracted to them (They don’t fit on the scale above) otherwise I would hae married one of them. I guess I’m shallow, sorry.
I just filled out an eHarmony survey this morning, and while it didn’t tell me that they had no matches for me, it did tell me that they couldn’t even make a profile for me because I don’t fall into one of their “rigedly defined profile types,” and that therefore their services would be useless to me.
I think this is their euphemistically kind way of telling me that I’m too fucked up to date anyone. 
My favorite personal ad cliche is the women who have obviously taken pictures of themselves with their arms wrapped around some previous S.O. and have cropped out the S.O.
Usually if its a girlfriend, brother, father or nephew they have their arms around, they leave it in. But the S.O. gets the crop feature.
Hrm… mine is just a neighbor. shrug
I’m sorry, I don’t understand. What do you mean by that?
I believe he’s calling you dense.
In a good way, though.
