How do you feel about eHarmony ? Please Read ! ( Archived) (24)

When I used them 7 years ago the matches I got were all 20 or more years older than myself and although I am open to a range of 10 years either way I think that is broad enough for me.

They wouldn't match me with men my own age so I dumped them. I wasn't looking for my father and that's what they were matching me with.

I took their indepth test and because
of one question i answered i was disqualifed.
Although i hav met some fantastic men on here

It's the same as going to house of ill repute--Free love is always better.

CS themselves have add on here promoting othter sites so it must now be allowed

eHarmony is awful, in my opinion. I hate how you have to pay a GOOD chunk of money to use it properly. I had no idea, but I went out for the day and came back to find it said I had 3 emails and an IM, yet I can't view any of that because I wasn't a paid subscriber. Not only that, but it won't let me view who has viewed my profile either. You can't even look at someone's picture!! I don't want to pay for 6 months and I think $40 for one month is out of control.


Match.com wasn't as bad. At least on there you can look at their full profile and pictures. Still can't really contact anybody though.

I am sure that if CS saw what you all are saying they would be quite happy as everyone is saying how good CS is.

I did a free trial on that site, and they kept sending me much older men, so I wrote them and complained, because I am attracted to men who are my age and younger, sometimes much younger. They replied that "statistics" showed that that was what worked best. Well, I am not a statistic; I know what I'm attracted to! I left the site and am so HAPPY I found this site! I am having FUN here!

I found it disappointing. I used it for about a month. I found the whole eharmony process laborious - there are endless quizzes and things to complete but it took eons before you would actually end up interacting with anyone suitable. I had quite a few problems with basic things like photo upload & to my surprise, it was very hard to contact anyone from eharmony with questions or tech issues.

I used Eharmony, Match.com, etc when I lived in the States. All the money I spent and could not even get 1 realistic match. Always there was no one in my area, or no matches to meet my criteria, but they sure had no problems matching up my bank account with theirs.

If I did half of what they did for my employer...But of course no refunds...right

It's what they DON'T tell you that's fraudulent... once you join and pay for a membership, most of your matches are the "free memberships" which you cannot communicate with. Only paying members can communicate with each other, though they include non-paying members in the matches and don't even bother to tell you who's a paying member and who isn't. It's pure fraud IMHO!

eHarmony, Match, and Yahoo's Personals all work this way. It's not designed to be a good service, it's only designed to make as much money as possible... that's a poor business model IMO.

Also like most sites they never remove old abandoned profiles, if you make up a profile but then never log in again they just leave it forever so that it makes it look like they have a huge number of members when in fact there are far fewer members on their site.

If a person doesn't log in in over a month, they probably never will log in again so their profile should be removed by the system automatically.... don't ya think?
