eHarmony’s bastard website Compatible Partners launched yesterday, one day earlier than obliged. Okay, not a bastard, just the first dating site whose owners didn’t really want to create.

    Scottk, I know your post isn't directed to me, but to answer your bait question, yes if there are protesting polygamists out there, I will support them. Tell me where they are.

Minyanville: “Since there’s no such thing as gay marriage, there’s no such thing as gay matching.”

Posted by eharmonyblog on 25 March 2009 under Blog posts § LGBTs not accepted · Comments (0)

Minyanville, an educational and entertaining resource on finance (featuring “Bear” and “Bull” market mascots), includes eHarmony among its list of 10 companies with faith in its business models. The commentary is snide:

60 days to provide same sex matching; What to expect of Compatible Partners

Posted by Pyke on 30 January 2009 under LGBTs not accepted · Comments (5)

    I bet it's a matter of time before bashers start making fake profiles to lure out and hurt us, like the Craigslist killer.
