Ever hear of Snake Oil? Because that is all eHarmony is.

Has anyone on that site ever taken a statistics class? The '29 dimensions of compatibility' is OBVIOUSLY not a valid measure of compatibility. It is a marketing tool created by a couple of hack Ph.D.s to get people on a dating site they created and, imo, to get people to buy Dr. Warren's Snake Oil books.

Anyone who has taken an introductory class in human behavior knows that personalities are not reliable measures in predictive models. Personalities are based on context and vary depending on the situation. An aggressive football player on the field is a gentle giant off the field. Have him take that personality profile during a game and have him take it at home and his answers will not be the same. I.E. not reliable. Reliability is a necessary but not sufficient condition for validity, and eHarmony's model is not reliable and therefore not valid. And that is just ONE reason why.

What does it take to realize that their entire service is basically based on a lie and that lies are used to attract you to the site. Dr. Warren is a hack liar and he knows it. The matching is a smoke and mirrors magic show that uses a bunch of scales and measures to dupe you into thinking that 'smart caring doctor people' run the site when in reality they are expoloiting the average Joe's lack of knowledge regarding multivariate statistics.

The 29 dimensions are a fraud and therefore the entire site is flawed and their main selling point is fraudulent. I challenge Dr. Warren to post his methedology for his paying customers to see and read instead of trying to sell books about 'research' which contain zero peer-reviewed empircal research (aka real research) and are filled with nothing but subjectivity and anecdotes, "from my experience", "from what I've seen."

Trying looking for peer-reviewed research by Dr. Warren regarding relationships. Try finding an article by Dr. Warren in a scholarly journal. You won't find anything. You'd think that if someone came up with a VALID way to quantitatively predict relationship compatibiliy that he would be FAMOUS in his peer group and that his name would be everywhere in the discipline like Euler is to Mathematics. That is not the case, Dr. Warren only exists on his sites and various Christian sites whose agenda he is promoting.

Ph.D. = publish or perish, and Dr. Warren, Snake Oil extrodinaire, has found a successful distribution channel with which to market his stupid books. I mean, there are scales and he is a big bad Ph.D., right? That means his algorithms and discriminant models HAVE to be valid, right? I mean, the guy CAN'T be a HACK, right? I mean, he has a ZOMG LEET PHD!

Think outside the box. If you believe the 29 dimensions are a valid measure of compatibility then I have a bridge and a three legged donkey you will probably be interested in. The whole matching system is a fraud and people are too ignorant to understand that. They take it at face value because it is "Dr." Warren, an old, gray, smiling Christian Ph.D. An old Christian male that looks like Orville Redenbacher couldn't possibly be out to make a profit. Off of lonely ignorant saps no less.

Knowing that, how could anyone think that the site is honest or valid?
