eHarmony.com Review Summary

Single people have many ways to meet people and one way that has become very popular is via the internet. Among the different dating web sites, Eharmony.com ranks as the most popular of all. Eharmony.com was created by behavior specialists and a good number of marriages in the United States are the direct result of Eharmony.com. But overall opinions of Eharmony.com are mixed, with comments ranging from “Great Concept” to “Not the Best Dating Site for Me”. Among some of the issues singles have with Eharmony.com are its lack of sufficient matches and its many fees. Still, with the number of marriages it has produced, Eharmony.com must be doing something right. It ranks among the most visited Dating Web Sites on the internet and it has produced many happy customers.

Amazing Success Rate — I'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… read full review »

I've actually had two separate experiences with EHarmony. The first time I signed up, I took the billion question personality test and started receiving matches in my inbox. They were horrible.

eHarmony is a scam

happily married, a romantic, in love, into finding great deals online

DEC

2007

I originally signed up for eHarmony with a one month subscription. Despite finding the personality questionnaire laborious, I pushed on eager to find a personality match. After the first week I was pleased to find so many matches but none included a picture. From week 2 to week 4 I received only two more matches with no photos. During this first month I was able to reach only the first stage of contact. After stating my dissatisfaction and intent to cancel my membership, eHarmony talked me into trying again for an additional 3 months at the price of one month. — — During the next… read full review »

JAN

I joined eHarmony with High expectations based on all the hype. Took complex personality test that was supposed to lead me into being matched with compatible ladies. Live outside the major FL metro areas like Orlando, Tampa-St Pete, Miami-West Palm Beach, Sarasota, Daytona, Jacksonville, I am 68, single, nice looking/trim gentleman with Ph.D. who has to continue working. Nonsmoker. I presumed most have good hygiene, are not addicts, racists or wild swingers. — Over a period of 6 mons, received over 650 referrals. Many of their personalities = totally unlike… read full review »

E HARMONY OVERHYPPED — E HARMONY, the largest dating service, at least in the US makes many claims,especially about the values and amount of good matches one can get by following its guidelines, which including answering varying sets of questions, some with canned answers before there can be direct contact, even anonymous. Extols its many virtues and large number of referrals that members can get. Seems like the real McCoy. — In reality, this 68 yr old single male, with Ph.D., living in county with 500,000+ people yet not as prominent as Orlando, West Palm Beach-Miami,… read full review »

I tried this out with a friend of mine a while back... mostly as moral support for her. I ended up meeting one of my matches, only to discover after one date that we were not a match at all. I don't know what they use to base the matches on, especially since I had to go through so many questionnaires. However, I don't think that their matching capabilities are all they say they… read full review »

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… read full review »

I recently joined EHarmony, hoping to find a nice guy. I figured if someone is willing to pay this kind of money to find that right mate, he is serious about finding her. Well, in the couple of weeks that I have been a paying subscriber, I have received so many matches (which I normally wouldn't complain about), but so far 90% of them are not within my radius that I specified, and I have had like 2 or 3 respond up to about the third round and then they quit responding. — I am not going to sit and respond to each and every match that I was given and I think it's… read full review »

If you will take the time to be honest on eharmony, you will find your match. I am not a typical woman - have some interests that most men in my region don't share, but I found the one guy who would say the same about himself. We have common interests and our weekends are filled with doing things we both enjoy. I never would have found him without the help of eharmony, as we lived 40 minutes apart (until we moved in together and got engaged a year after we met.) Try… read full review »

Now, keep in mind that I haven't accually used this website fully yet. Its because after a 20 page questionaire, I didn't have any matches. When they finally sent me a email stating I had a match, they wouldn't let me see her picture with out paying $60/mo. My thoughts were, if I was attracted to her, i might pay the $60 for the chance to be happy. But i'm not going to pay the money and regret it… read full review »

The site itself is laid out well. Since this site came out there have been several more to come on-line. Some sites do offer more exclusivity, this one does not. — The choices of men in St Louis MO are slim to none for the type of gentleman that I am looking for; I am aware of that. This site does not offer anything tempting for the mature, professional, entrepreneur. — Overall if your expectations are not great this is a good site for you. Many people just want to link up and have kids etc. Mature singles do not have that goal in… read full review »

eHarmony is a complete rip-off. Sure, you get matched with people, but the vast majority never respond to you or break off communication at very early stages. That doesn't stop the site from taking your money, though. I would be more positive about the site if they offered a better guarantee and more recourse to members who are not satisfied with the results they… read full review »

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… read full review »

JUN

2008

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… read full review »
