A Review of eHarmonyWrite your own review of eHarmony! Reviewed By: Michelle Location: Triangle Area, NC Sex: Female Rating: ***** Date: June 14, 2007 First off, if I could rate eHarmony with a zero star, I would! Please do not waste your $ on this crapshoot. I initially signed on for 6 months, which was a pretty hefty price to pay for the incredibly unattractive matches that i received, for the most part. I went on about 5 dates, mostly with people that were a few states away (always meeting in the middle). Because I mean, after all, those 29 dimensions will surely give you matches that are possibly "the one" and distance should not be an issue according to the Dr. Crappy that always hypes up each and every match that you get and assures you that you're right for each other and should give a second look at them even if you wouldn't be attracted to them in pitch dark at your weakest "i-wish-i-had-a-man" moment. One thing this site will do to you is lower your standards. I'm a pretty tall girl (5'8"), fairly attractive, 25 y.o., got my life together, and many consider me a good catch by any standards. So here I am getting matches that work at Burger King and are divorced 22 y.o. 5'6" guys. Really? Are you kidding me? Its not that I am a picky person, but I am realistic and know what I'm attracted to (certainly not the fast food worker type- no offense to you guys; i like my burgers cheap and greasy every now and again). So here I am at month 6, having traveled as much as 4 hours one-way just to go on a 3-hour date with the "decent" matches that I had received. I did not renew my membership, but not to worry- eHarmony will automatically renew your membership for a steep $29.95/month without your consent (always read that fine print)! ARRRGGGGHHH!! So no luck on the extension, and this time I made sure i went throught the cancellation process so they would not renew my membership. Not more than 24hrs after my month was up, I get all these matches that are actually within driving distance (convenient, considering when I cancelled I listed distance as a major factor). So here I am, with about 10 matches that I can only read their profile and not view any pics. Hmmm, not fallin for it!! But wait, these matches express interest again and again, so eventually I give in and sign up for another 3 months since eHarmony gives me a discounted price if I renew now to find the love of my life. So here I am all excited to see whats goin' on with my new potential love matches, falsely thinking that these would be any different from the ones I had previously checked out. Again, are you kidding me!! No attraction (at least to the ones that were actually members, as roughly 2/3 of all your matches are not members so you can't communicate with them) but I communicate with the other members that were also suckered into this anyway because that fake Dr. tells me that I should, and like an idiot I actually trust him. After 2 emails, I realize that none of these guys can spell, much less interest me in any way, shape, or form in any state of desperation. So I Xed them all and have yet to receive any more matches. But no worries, I'm sure I'll get a whole slew of them after my membership runs out again. eHARMONY IS NOT THE PLACE TO FIND YOUR TRUE LOVE!!!!DON'T BELIVE THOSE COMMERCIALS! JUST THINK ABOUT IT- HOW DO THEY HAVE FUNDS TO ADVERTISE ALL THE TIME? IT'S YOUR HARD-EARNED $ THEY'VE SUCKERED OUT OF YOU ALONG WITH MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS!!! DON'T FALL FOR THEIR 29-DIMENSION CRAPOLA. IT'S JUST A CLEVER PLOY TO RENDER YOU VULNERABLE AND HOPEFULL THAT YOU'LL FIND TRUE LOVE ON eHARMONY.
