LEEAL77 says "E-HARMONY.COM IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GO FOR SINCERE SEEKERS!" about eHarmony.com

LEEAL77 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:07:08 GMT

The E-harmony ads might seem fake, but I know from experience that they aren't. I myself tried the site. I was very impressed with all the questions they ask to try to get to know the "real" you. I answered everything sincerely and wasn't disappointed with the matches they came up with for me. It's NOT a hook-up site like alot of them are. I found it to be filled with marriage-minded people like myself. I was so excited about the site that I recommended it to my best friend. He had been searching for Mrs. Right for over 20 years! He became a pro at first dates. He learned how to spot the Mrs. Wrongs right away. He finally tried E-harmony and went on some dates through that site. He was also impressed with the questions on the site and the women he met. I'm very happy to report that after a few matches he found "the one". They were married last August after dating for over a year. He would not have met her through the other ways he was trying. The newspaper ads, his friends and family trying...

nebulamystic says "eHarmony.com gimmick and waste of time" about eHarmony.com

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 very stringent on rules and though I didn't think what I had in my profile was really all that complex, they couldn't find matches anywhere in the U.S. and once in awhile I would get someone they would say was 98% compatible with their compatibility report and it was completely reverse of what I was looking...

Jonathan97202 says "Kinda Discrimnatory" about eHarmony.com

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 with baited breath to get the confirmation that you have been posted.....

You get

Oh thank you for giving us all your personal information, your deisres, and dislikes, your age and height, basically who you believe yourself to be, we will take this information...

rippedoffbigtime says "Look up Rip-off in the dictionary & EHarmony is what you'll see" about eHarmony.com

rippedoffbigtime — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 04:40:46 GMT

After a lot of thought, I decided to join EHarmony for 3 months. What a RIP OFF! Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The few "matches" I received were obviously the free "potential customers" who can sign up FREE and get matched. But none of them can post pictures - unless they pay to join. So, when you ask for a photo in the very beginning, they never respond. When I complained to EHarmony, they told me to "be patient." When I complained again that I had not even received any matches in the last several weeks, I was told - this is unnelievable - that I had to "set aside an hour" to fill out yet another stupid questionnaire!!! Talk about passing the buck. They said via email, that unless I filled out another questionnaire, they would NOT send me any more matches!!! Just an arbitrary decision some idiot answering emails decided to do. I think that is what's called breach of contract - duh.

Obviously, they send "matches" to all the freebies who did not pay to join, just to hook them in and...

richelmore says "Avoid, Avoid, Avoid" about eHarmony.com

richelmore — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:50:55 GMT

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 so interesting. We chatted for a while and it seemed like things were doing well and then, voila, SILENCE.

This suddenly became a recurring theme.

On the advice page, we are told to write to all of our matches, just so we didn't limit anything. As one to take advantage of any costly service, I made sure......

bakermaddie says "TAKES Way to long to actually talk to anyone" about eHarmony.com

bakermaddie — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:23:13 GMT

eHarmony has the right idea if you are good at writing about yourself. I am not. I am a people person so going through 6 questioning processes doesn't work for me. if you are shy this is a great site. i have been a member for 2 months and have yet to talk to anyone!...

daweefolk says "cleverly advertised but fails to give what you expect" about eHarmony.com

daweefolk — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:43:26 GMT

I joined eharmony just after my 18th bday (joined meaning taking their horribly long tests) because the commercials about it make it seem SO great. "Get your FREE personality profile!"
However, what they fail to mention in their ads is the (in my opinion) outrageous monthly price. Eharmony tempts you to pay by allowing you to see your matches' profiles but only allows contact after you sign up to pay for it. I refused to do this but still receive more-than-regular emails telling me a new match. I was also angry that eharmony is anti-gay.
The next day, I found a new more useful, and in my opinion better designed, site "Okcupid.com". Same concept as eharmony but it's free, it doesn't MAKE you take the test, not anti-gay, and every question is user-submitted.
What I say is if you want a dating (short or long-term, just friends or intimate encounter) site based on compatibility, don't shell out your money to eharmony. there are better, free websites out there like okcupid.

ecommerce4u says "Whose harmony is it anyway..." about eHarmony.com

ecommerce4u — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:08:02 GMT

All this system is Revenue stream to the Site Owner, There is NO "Contact Me" when you want to ask questions. If you GET a Reply... YOU are NOT able to Reply ... Back to the Response at All... It rejects any "Reply" responses from the "supposed" Customer Service... Revenue, Revenue, Revenue... Pay for a Year... No refunds are possible ALSO, so what good is it. Yes it is an Internet dating Service but for WHOM? there is NO guarantee if there is NO refund or Guarantee... They people are more phony than REAL, there is NO truth to this site....

scrimmins says "Never Again" about eHarmony.com

scrimmins — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:59:52 GMT

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 :)...

swoosh7584 says "Works Well matches in seconds!! " about eHarmony.com

swoosh7584 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:41:20 GMT

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!!...

pahticake says "Not what I thought it would be " about eHarmony.com

pahticake — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:02:02 GMT

I decided to try eHarmony because they had a Valentine's Day special going on. I spent a good part of my morning filling out their lengthy questionaire and I was looking forward to seeing my matches. The first day I think I received 6-8 matches, half of which were men who lived more than 100 miles from me. Thank God I'm not someone with low self esteem because by the end of my subscription I would have thought something was wrong with me since there werent that many matches out there for me. Thank eHarmony, but I think I will stick with the old fashioned way of meeting people. ...

Kherman74 says "Don't bother!" about eHarmony.com

Kherman74 — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 04:32:52 GMT

EHarmony keeps sending me matches for guys 3-4 hours away or even out of state, despite my requests of 30 mile limit. I also find that most matches do not bother to even respond to any communication. Very frustrated with this site....

jamo001 says "Does great on reading your personality." about eHarmony.com

jamo001 — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 22:08:33 GMT

Good site overall. Runs smoothly, easy to use, and looks good. The constant emails get annoying, but that's to be expected. The matches I got were almost always dead-on with what I was seeking. Amazing, almost. Use this site if you're serious about finding someone.

glimmercat says "Average site; less-than-stellar customer service. " about eHarmony.com

glimmercat — Fri, 30 May 2008 17:39:48 GMT

I am registered with eHarmony and I have no issues with the questionnaires or matches, as many others here seem to. [I love filling out stuff and it was fascinating to read about all the different types of people that are out there.] I still get emails from them, about twice a week, with new matches.

However, being on welfare severely limits my cash flow and I asked them if we could work something out. They offered me the "three months for one month's cost" deal, but only as a lump-sum payment. Since that's not an option for me, I suggested a payment plan, which they outright rejected. For a company that presumably wants to make money, I find them to be remarkably inflexible. I suppose I'll have to wait until I find a job before I can make full use of the site.

Overall, I'm inclined to rate them as average, because the actual service seemed fine to me, as long as you can afford their rates. Their customer service department needs work, though.

UrbanCre8r says "the choices in men are painfull" about eHarmony.com

UrbanCre8r — Fri, 30 May 2008 05:30:32 GMT

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 mind.

There are too many men from small towns with long hair and beards in this site. They should have their own catagory!

Or maybe there should be a section for Urban Singles or Sophisticated Singles.
