1 star is being generous. I was considering joining, but after reading everything here AND taking my own experience into consideration, I realized it's not worth the money.

See, I just did their questionnaire to see what makes them so special since that doctor in the TV ads sure wants me to think that they're special. Well, the questionnaire is nothing special. Anyone with half a wit could sensor themselves to come across with a much nicer personality than they have. That's the first flaw.

The second flaw I noticed at this site was that when I was done with my questionnaire, it was already sending me matches. Some were clearly out of my 30 mile range. Two of the men 'start communicating' with me. I try to do the polite thing and reply, BUT I CAN'T until I pay a membership fee. Considering that I had seven guys to pick from, it didn't seem worth the $60 (or more if I join for multiple months). But I can't tell these guys this. I have to put communication "on hold" and pick the most fitting multiple choice answer to explain why I wasn't continuing communication.

The reason I'm explaining all this is because these guys were clearly paying members who believed I was a paying member that could respond to them. So they honestly believe they're getting valid matches. Yet, how many of their matches (or mine if I would to join) are just people who are taking the questionnaire and not officially members? Eharmony is saying I'm someone these men can choose from, but technically I'm NOT. I wonder how many people have gotten matches that aren't members? The whole thing is very disingenuous. And out of my 7 matches, I bet only half of them were actually members! This doesn't even take into consideration that they'll probably keep my profile up there for God knows how long just to bait other future members.

After that and the reviews here, I'm steering clear from this site. They charge far more than they're worth. They're really not any better than match.com. I'm sure match.com has had couples meet and marry just like eharmony. They just don't pimp it to the tune of $60 per month per member, and that's what makes this WORSE than all the others.
