eHarmony has a lot of women anxious to settle down so avoid that site if that's not what you're looking for. As someone with limited dating experience, the few dates I went on were like sensory overload.
Your pictures mean more than what you write so if you're blessed with good looks, you'll get more response. A guy I hung out with for a while put a picture of himself with his shirt off and very little thought into his profile other than "let's party" and was bombarded with messages. Meanwhile, I take the time to create one and thoughtfully respond to women's profiles and never hear anything. It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I let my eHarmony account expire.
I've only briefly investigated the free sites but I like ones like OKCupid where they indicate how frequently a woman responds. I don't want to spend half an hour crafting a message to send to someone who replies "very selectively".
I haven't had much success but clearly it's becoming more and more common to hear of people finding a longtime partner online.
