I have done a lot of dating sites and this is by far my worst experience!  EHarmony takes a lot of your money and does nothing for it!  I had much better matches with better people on sites that were completely free!!!  It only sent me one or two matches a week, they never had a picture, and no one ever responded.  When I complained, they told me those people dropped off the site, and were not available.  After my initial month, they gave me a free month because I kept complaining, and nothing changed.  The only "match" with a picture was a guy I used to work with, and I know we were not at all compatable!  He wrote to say "Hi" and how funny it was that they would consider us a match.  I quit them and cannot beleive they are still in business.  My friends who have tried them all have bad stories, and never a match for anyone.

There are many different sites out there they tell you that if you sign up and do all the test and everything you will find the love of your life, and after all the years I have looked for Mr Right, I find it easier to find him on other sites like Facebook or Myspace. As for EHarmony, its against for letting homosexuals use their site to look for their love. I do understand that there are other places to gIf you to, but as for the intense questions you have to go through to find that person, and after reading a few other reviews I see the same point, that when they start sending you emails, its people you arent really that matched with. But why cant they be open and let anyone sign up and lo...

eHarmony.com gimmick and waste of time

Signing up with eHarmony.com I felt to be very labor intensive with little to show for it. The pricing is very high with non quality matches. I am finding many of these sites disregard the intensive tests and questions they put you through to secure good matches. I would, if anything get the exact OPPOSITE of what I was searching for after using the importance factor. It all seemed to be disregarded.

Tons of players, if they get banned on one site they usually just makeup a new name and start all over. A good thing about eHarmony is they take your ip address into account so as to avoid these issues and they do commit to this. I never had any luck even finding friends on this site. They are ...

HMMMM, you would think that in this day and age you would find when it comes to certain industries, like internet dating and personal community sites that you would be open to just about anything..

I am sure there could be a room for just about anyone's tatse.

However e-harmony gives nothing but a SORRY BOUT YA when they make you fill out your entire profile, which takes ages if you actually think about it and fill it out properly, you get your picture loaded and spend all that time in anticipation and hopefullness, almost giddy and have that old feeling of passion that you did when you were younger, even if for a second.

You click on next and check that box that says HOMOSEXUAL

And then...

DO NOT JOIN!! They are absolute thieves! i joined up with the 3 month option. What they don't tell you is they automatically renew your account and steal your money. I had moved countries and was no longer using the site - had not even logged on! I had no idea that they renew your account as was never sent an email to warn me that they would do so! I find out that they have been charging me $100 every 3 months!!! And they will not refund the money they stole. Thankfully they had only renewed twice before I saw that they were still stealing my money. NEVER USE THIS SITE!

I have to admit that I don't remember all the details of their matching system.  I know it's a questionnaire with at least 60 questions.  When they first came on the scene several years ago, I signed on, completed the questionnaire, but did not pay to join.  It was something like $60 at that time.  Their system matched me right away with about eight guys.  The closest one lived in North Carolina.  Give me a break!  A lot of these members don't reveal their photos, or maybe you can't even see their photos until you join.  That's a big red flag.  I have to be relatively attracted to someone before I will agree to meet them.  I unsubscribed beca...

Amazing Success RateI'm friends with one of the founders of eHarmony, and I see him once or twice a year.  In 2005, he told me, when I inquired, that eHarmony was responsible for 1% of all the marriages in the U.S.   When I saw him a year later, in 2006, he told me that the statistic had changed, and it was up to 2%!  We just saw him in May of 2007...and now the number is THREE PERCENT.  Wow!

After one particularly boring weekend, my lonesome little self decided to track down a little online love. Of course I was cautious and careful but even more than that, I was honest and serious in the search. I wanted to find someone compatible, even if just to chat with. The price was a little steep so I tried to get a discount by signing up for the 12-month plan, on which you can pay in three installments of $83 and some change. This is expensive for my poor, almost-Ramen-eating college self, just so you know.Actually, I was on the trial version and after one particularly fascinating and cute connection, I had to sign up to continue talking...so I did. This match looked wonderful and was s...

I purchase the eharmony dating site for approximately 6 months before I was just about to cancel my contract when I met the guy of my dreams we are due to be married in Wichita, Kansas.  The problem is you really have to be patient and research the people you are filtered out to be matches.  The other problem is people are not honest when answering the surveys and the end up matched to people who are not their dating preference.  Me and my fiance actually live over 250 miles away from each other.  But after the wedding we will be living either in KC-MO are in Wichita, KS we have not made up our minds yet.  Another thing that works for us is that we both have a relati...

Eharmony was great for me.  I had moved back from college into a new job and the social life just wasn't the same.  I was tired of meeting a girl out at the bars or nightclubs so i said why not sign up for 3 months.  So i did and instantly i had matches and started communicating.  I have gone on many dates with a variety of girls from the sight.  And right now i am dating this girl that i met on there 4 months ago and we are still going on strong.  All i have to say is be truthful if you say something about yourself that isn't you, you will be match up with someone that you may have met personally wise before and didn't work and trust me it wont work again.  It is worth it if you have a little time and you want to try something new out!!

Never Again

After getting divorced and looking for a place to find "quality" matches, I signed up for eharmony. I paid the 1st month only to receive matches that were several hours away from my location. After my first month and plan to cancel, they called me and gave me the deal of 3 months for 1 month price. Like a sucker.. I took them up on it. I did not find anyone that was compatible with me, lived near me or had the same goals and such as I did. I would suggest that you use another site if you are really looking for someone. As a side note... my husband (who I met through another site) also did an eharmony profile, and was told that there was no one that was compatible with him and that he was unmatchable. Not a positive way to market your matching abilities. He obviously is matchable... we are very happily married now :)

EHARMONY: Most available matches are not members, can't respond

Overall

Rated 1 out of 5

I have to agree with other reviewers here. I tried eharmony once in 2002 for a 1 month trial then again in 2008 for a 3 month trial and they send me the SAME PEOPLE from 6 years ago as my match. Now we both know those people are NOT still on the site and are most likely not still single. Everyone can sign up for free and their advertisment goes by those numbers. Most people you contact are not members and can not view or respond to your message. They only see that someone wrote to them to lure them into paying. Also received matches that where 1000's of miles away even though I restricted the search for 50 mile radius. Any detailed search never produced any matches which is very unbelievable...

I did not even make it through the eharmony profile questions to long.  Do people really believe everything they read? Wow!  I feel a very small amount of people find success.   All others married, looking for quick action and will say anything for it.  Everyone is screened.  Not so.  I personally have seen several men portraying as single when they are actually married.  Or literally married men looking for affairs, and they say so.  I say, get out find something for yourself and the soul mate will be near.  Don't believe the hype of these dating sites. Also, they are very expensive, you get locked in with an automatic dedcution from your personal account.  THEY WON'T LET YOU GO.  WAKE UP PEOPLE.

A wonderful experience to understanding yourself and others!

The dating service, eHarmony, bringing people together that are compatible and creating long lasting partnerships, had a fabulous promotion for the Valentine's holiday this year.  They promoted unlimited communication with all matches they found, for their clients, from February 15th till the 18th.  At first I was a little reluctant, which cost me a day off the promotion.  This would be my second time signing up with them.  So, I finally signed up for their promotion on the 16th.  Still reluctant, I went through the first step, profile imaging.  There are several tests; a client must take, that rate them into ten different categories.  These categories are ...

I decided to try eharmony out b/c there was a 3 month special for $45. I actually was surprised with how many matches i recieved. I was pleased with most ofthe people that were sent to me. The major thing I had a huge problem with was that you are unable to chose a distance range. This bothered me b/c a lot of the matches were close to 40 miles away which in my area can turn into an hour plus drive. I would perfer to be set up with matches closer to me. I have actually met a guy who is exactly my type. We share common interests, values and morals. Not sure where the relationship is going, but that part is up to us, not eharmony. I would say, if there is a special, it's worth trying, if it is regular priced, not so much unless you are willing to give any match a try.
