I'll give them four stars because I like the way the site is set up. And really, I do think that their matching system is pretty good. However, in the seven months that I have been a member, I have had very little luck. Though, most of my complaints are about the site's members.

I have only made it to open communication with about 5 of the nearly 100 women I have been matched with. Most of them either close me out, don't respond, or put me on hold. Personally, I think the whole "put on hold" feature needs to be done away with. I, myself, am sick to death of women putting me on hold, giving as their reason "I am taking a break from my search for a while, but may be interested in communicating more in the future." That is lame, and putting people on hold should not be an option. Why? Because we all know that if you put someone on hold, chances are, they won't be back.

Also, from reading through some of these reviews, it seems that the women tend to have an aversion to requesting communication with the guys. One even said that as a rule she never requested communication. If you are a woman who feels this way, here is what I want you to do: Go find the nearest calender. Now, check the year on it. If it is current, it should say 2006--not 1956, 1942, 1922, etc. In other words, ditch that outdated philosophy and request the communication if you like the guy! Yeesh, and to think we've come this far, and some people still think that way.

In addition, if you for any reason decide you don't want to communicate with someone, want to stop because you are no longer interested, or just took the questionare because you were bored and have no intention of joining the site (like about 75 percent of my matches), then for the love of Corn Flakes, just close the communication. Yes, I may be a little disappointed, but at least I'll know where you stand--and I can move on, too. Don't leave me hanging out in the wind wondering if you're ever going to write back. And for heaven's sake, DO NOT put me on hold! Because like I said earlier, we both know that if you put me on hold, you won't be back (okay, I'm sure there are people who have put people on hold and then came back around. But based on my experience, I'm sure that is a highly exceptional scenerio).

And about the whole photo thing: If you're going to take a look at my photo and decide that I'm too ugly (which I'm not, btw--I'm not overweight, nothing is out of proportion, etc.) for you to bother with, at least have the decency to show YOUR picture before closing me out, giving as your reason "I don't feel the chemistry is there." This is probably a personal pet peeve more than anything else. To me, it just seems really unfair. I don't know.

Well, that's all I have to say for now. I guess I'll just end by saying that if you are not serious about finding that special someone, then get the heck off eharmony and all other dating sites on the web, and quit wasting us serious peoples' time.

Good luck everyone.
