I agree with PBS from Colorado as I have had similar experience with E-harmony.

After spending more than $300 on E-harmony.com while I was on and off for 3 years, I recently decided to give it up for good. I am extremely disappointed. First of all, 95% of the matches were dead, i.e. their profiles were on but their membership was obviously not paid, so they could not respond to any messages. Second, the majority of matches who were sent to me were totally not what I was looking for. I met in person two nice guys who could be great friends but there was no potential for chemistry and romance whatsoever. I was matched with a few men who looked interesting but they immediately closed me probably because of my age. I am 42, very attractive by most standards, have a great education and a good job but I realize that most men, or maybe e-Harmony users look for younger women. The question is why were they matched with me at all if this was the case? Then the service is massively advertised as based on Christian values. I do not know what kind of women are using it but my impression is that the predominant part of men subscribers are products of an ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalist upbringing. They are immature, insecure, have no realistic idea about women, they learn and rehearse standardazied questions and answers, and are not even clear about the difference between nice and rude. A few profiles I read and several men I e-mailed with/talked to made me feel like I was communicating with nine graders from an all boy catholic school. They believe that going through the rigorous matching scale of Dr. Warren and learning a few stereotypic communication tools from Men's Health magazine is all they need for dating. The scary part is that I am talking about professionally employed and educated men at age 40+. I even dated one of these I met through E-harmony for two months. It was my second most horrible dating experience ever. I am glad I figured him out relatively quickly. Now I am in a process of figuring out where to find mature and intelligent men. Definitely not on E-harmony.com which I do not recommend to anyone.
