A Review of eHarmonyWrite your own review of eHarmony! Reviewed By: G Location: Maryland Sex: Male Rating: ***** Date: February 22, 2010 I signed up for E-Harmony's free communication weekend recently and have received a plethora of possible matches. However I haven't officially subscribed yet because quite frankly, the one month subscription price is too expensive for what the site offers. It's not that I'm cheap, but my "common sense" tells me that it'd be foolish to sign up for a 3 month subscription until I knew it'd be worth it after a one month trial... which goes back to paying 59.95 for one month on a what is relatively nothing more than a dating site is just too damn expensive. With all the questions you have to answer and the essays you have to write, they should be paying YOU for all that work! LOL! My main problem with E-Harmony is that there is no way of knowing whether the matches I received are "PAID" members who are active or if they were just there for the weekend and can't respond after I sign up. There seems to be no quality control on a alleged member's recent activity, so you really don't know if your matches are "current" members or blasts from the past who may have disappeared from the site months or years ago. Also, I noticed that the photo I posted was viewable to all when I "thought" it was viewable only after I gave permission. Maybe that's why I'm getting so many communication requests from women who I can't see, but who can see me. One instance I found hilarious was that one woman closed communication with me and I hadn't even sent any shred of interest, just read her profile... which was filled with misspelled words as she tried to come across as erudite. So whoever you are... thanks for closing me out "Einstein". LOL!! But I must admit, the questionnaire was fun to fill out and although it didn't tell me anything I didnt already know about myself, I found the end result of their analysis to be fairly accurate. Now, I've read a lot of negative posts here trashing E-Harmony, but I gotta tell you, while some may be vaild, it's easy to see that others are from narcissistic. frustrated people who are natural born obfuscators that would complain and blame if they were in a room of 100 members of the opposite sex where 99 of them were good people and only 1 person was a loser. Face it, some people are destined to complain and blame others for their shortcomings for the rest of their lives and a site like E-Harmony gives them the fodder to justifiably do that without ANY introspection. But I regress... I am still thinking about signing up on E-Harmony but anything could happen before then because I do meet women when I'm out and about all the time because not only do I work in the legal field, I'm also an artist and a socio-political activist. I do meet interesting women from time to time, but I haven't felt that "vibe" from any of them for years now... which is why I decided to give E-Harmony a try. And if I do, I'll be back to honestly and OBJECTIVELY post my experience. The best to all. |
