I signed up for Match, Yahoo and Eharmony simultaneously. I have sent messages to women on both Math and Yahoo and got no replies even when we had similar interests and goals in common and lived one town apart. I could tell they looked at my profile but never even gave me a "no thanks".

I was going to cancel Eharmony after seeing how tedious the process was and how stupid the questions were that got traded back and forth. Plus reading sites like this after the fact didn't help.

BUT..I've been on it two weeks and met one woman last night and talked to another woman on the telephone when I returned home from that date. I might see her this weekend for a drink.

For me, talking to two women in two weeks seems like a pretty good success rate compared to 0 out of 20 on Yahoo and Match in the same time period.

A big complaint is you can't narrow down your geography. You have to chose a miniumum of 30 miles away. Most of my matches are showing up more than 40 miles away and yet there are a few the next town over but you can't pick within 10 miles of me.

Complaints people have here about getting closed out of the service too soon and not knowing if all matches are paid is a real problem. Plus, most people do not post their photo.

Why not post your photo? Just about everyone on Yahoo and Match has one yet a site supposedly committed to creating lasting relationships that you pay more for and you don't post a photo?

I actually talked to an Eharmony rep on the telephone..it was quicker and easier to talk to him than trying to get a hold of anyone at Verizon. He said that only people who have paid can actually read your email to them so if your matches say "answering your questions" then they are paid members.

I kind of still doubt that but we'll see. That's my review for now and we'll see how it goes. I paid $99 for 6 months.
