Is the owner of eharmony a RW nut ?

[floridablue]

Is he selling subscribers profile information to other RW organizations and political groups?

[classof56]

1. Yes and I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

He also likes money a lot!

Tired Old Cynic

2. What would lead you to wonder this? I'm not doubting, just curious.

I have no idea. I have heard, however, that there is no "Man seeking Man" or "Woman seeking Woman" option when using eHarmony. I don't know this is correct, as I've never used their service.

[floridablue]

13. I read somewhere (possibly in DU) that there are

no gay or lesbian applications. I was just curious about the selling of information since there seems to be no limit to the fundies respect for others.

[Kerrytravelers]

18. I think I read that, too.

If that is true, it looks bad on the company.

[floridablue]

22. It must be nice to be able to be so choosy

When I ran my business I really didn't have the margin of error to worry about my customers sexual persuasion or color, etc. Accent or no, their money was still green.

3. He's a preacher

His "Dr" is a doctor of divinity. So chances are good the answer is yes.

[Suji to Seoul]

5. Can I get a "Doctorate" in Bullshit too?

[izquierdista]

8. Divinity

I agree, to be a more well-rounded person, he should also have degrees in fudge, nougat and caramel.

[zbdent]

10. If Dr. Laura could,

I guess you could too ...

[Dr.Phool]

11. Yes

Send me $100.00 + $6.95 S&H, and I'll send you a Doctorate in Bullshit from Duffy University. Duffy is my dog.

We will not be undersold!

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Yup. Send me your name on the back of $50 bill and I'll get it right out to you.

:rofl:

[onenote]

16. yes, because anyone with a Doctor of Divinity is by definition a RWer, like Martin Luther King

Thanks for being ridiculous.

[Recursion]

17. MLK was a "Dr" of divinity too

Well, systematic theology. Just sayin'

[Sheets of Easter]

4. Yes.

edit- I once saw in ad in Ready Made magazine for a competing dating service (I can't remember the name), and their ad said as much.

[HughBeaumont]

6. He's a DOBSON RW nutbag.

Moving away from FOTF or not, the rhetoric still holds true on e-Harmony: Heteros only, preferrably Christian.

[billyoc]

7. He's a well known Christian Falangist. The worst of the worst.

Having your info sold will be the LEAST of your worries if he matches you up with one of his Thrill Kill Cultists.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Is that the Kneel Clark Warren guy?

[Tesha]

14. Religious Right nut? Yes. Selling data? Who knows? (NT)

[slackmaster]

15. It's obviously a conservative Christian service

I took a quick look at the profile thingy and realized it was not a good fit for me.

[backscatter712]

19. Yes, he's a right-wing fundietard.

eHarmony is notorious for refusing to match GLBT folks, non-Christians, etc...

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Yes

Frighteningly so

[tilsammans]

21. Seems that way, but . . .

. . . I'm white, and half of my eHarmony matches were African-Americans.

I wouldn't think interracial dating would fly in FundieLand, but I could be wrong.

:shrug:

[hunter]

23. All you liberal women want to run off with black guys...

Could be that's one of the ways they profile people at match.com.

:yoiks:

Most likely you have a "black" name. My son has a "black" name, and so does one of my friends. Many businesses look up the demographics of a zip code and try to guess the race of people by their names. It's especially apparent in political mailings. My wife has a Hispanic name and I have a white name. A lot of the Democratic party mailings overlap, but some of the Republican party mailings are astonishingly transparent -- my wife gets mailings trying to appeal to the perceived conservative streak of Hispanic Catholics, and I get mailings directed to those fossilized white Republicans who secretly believe bad schools and high crime rates are an inherent property of Hispanic culture.
