A Review of eHarmonyWrite your own review of eHarmony! Reviewed By: Vegasguy Location: Nevada Sex: Male Rating: ***** Date: February 27, 2010 I posted a profile in January 2010. Dutifully filling out the survey and ranking my criteria with the utmost care. Hoping that Eharmony was something beyond what I heard from people regarding other online dating sites, I went in with a open mind and tempered expectations. Looking back, I should have lowered my expectations a little further. Though I still have over a month left on my three month membership, I have turned off the "matching" engine and asked to receive no more matches. Time is not your friend on Eharmony as the longer you are on, the wider the "range" of matches they will send you in a desperate attempt to fill your daily match quota. Of the 489 matches they sent me, I closed 401 on the spot. Why we even bother to fill out the survey and rank our wants is a mystery to me based on the women they sent to my inbox. No offense but if one is physically fit and ranks that as a high desire on the survey, I really don't quite understand why I got so MANY overweight or non-physically fit women sent to me??? Going back to the time issue, the longer you are on eharmony, the less likely the matches they send have been online in any recent time period. One ladies profile referenced a event that happened in early 2009. Another few wrote they were no longer on eharmony but were still delivered to me. Customer service at Eharmony is a stealth entity as they make no effort to make it easy to access their services and tend to be vague or simply non-helpful with their members issues. One other thing, I have female friend who was given a month free to join...I didn't get that offer so Eharmony must practice discrimination in order to fill the female ranks on the site. Overall the Eharmony experience is a rather sad one. Lots of hype and built up expectations but little delivery. Ironically, the bar scene is almost better as you can, at least, pick what appeals to you before being thrown in the shark tank so to speak. Don't waste your money! |
