A Review of eHarmonyWrite your own review of eHarmony! Reviewed By: Single Girl Location: Columbus, Ohio Sex: Female Rating: ***** Date: February 20, 2009 I have been an "on and off" member of eHarmony for several years. Why do I keep getting suckered back to the site? Because I keep buying into their hype and when I see those eEharmony commercials, I feel like I should give it another chance. For God's sake there has to be someone on their site with whom I would connect romantically, right? So after my membership expired a few months ago, I decided to explore their "see your matches for free" offer without becoming a paying member. I created my profile and posted my photo only to discover that the "see your matches for free" offer does not allow you to see photos of your matches! Ha! I have to pay money to see my matches. And they promised "free communication weekend" but why would I want to communicate with someone I've never seen in a photo? In my past experiences with eHarmony as a paid member, I was constantly matched with men who have children, even though I specifically complained to customer service that I indicated on my questionnaire that I would not consider dating a man who has children. They responded by telling me to be open minded. I also indicated that I only wanted to meet a Christian and they sent me a Muslim. Should I be "open minded" about that too, eHarmony? eHarmony will fling anybody your way, in my experience. I have a master's degree and asked to be matched with someone whose educational achievements meet my own and who lives within 30 miles of my location. They sent me a janitor who lived 250 miles away. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Rarely they would send me someone who seemed interesting, I would request communication, and the person who either never respond or come back with "I'm already pursuing another relationship." The best "matches" always appear when you subscribe initially and just before your subscription is about to expire. In between those times, be prepared to receive no matches or a few crappy mismatches every so often. You join eHarmony because you are lonely and you end up feeling rejected, ripped off and lonelier than ever. Dr. Neil Clark Warren, a supposedly Christian man, is exploiting the single population for his own profit. |
