Reviews of eHarmony

Well, there is nothing to rate since they wouldnt even let me sign up because after spending near a half hour on their stupid questionaire, they told me they had no matches available for me and that was the end of that. Not one match in all of Northeast Pa? Yeah I'm sure! Well, thats ok they saved me money because I was going to check the site out and I might have even signed up but forget it now, making judgements on someone, the site is discrimatory, and I am glad that I wasnt worthy enough to sign up with them. Thats the most ridiculous thing I ever heard!

I was a member for a month. As the first month was coming to a end and I was already unhappy with the services they provide. I tried to close my account before they took another payment. Turns out they don't allow you to end your account till you have made the last payment of your agreement. they took my payment this morning . I called them and was told that they will close my account and not take the payment that was to be due next month. But the one one they took no more than 5 hours earlier today was not going to be refunded. I was told I was lucky I was allowed to close my account early.This a rip off site.They are just taking your money in exchange for a poor service. I paid 49.95 for five hours of service. I am disappointed.

I was on and off eharmony for five years--probably more "off" than "on" (I've tried other dating services and had a two-year relationship somewhere in there) but eharmony consistently amazes me for its awfulness.

In my five years using eharmony, I seriously had one date. On other websites--match, for instance, or chemistry--I usually had at least one date per month. Why is eharmony so terrible? I don't know, but it's hard as hell to get people through that dumb question-and-answer phase, and then get them to the actual meet-and-greet level. I think most of the guys who sign up for this service are sort of shy, fat, and nerdy, so they're content to drag things on forever and ever through email. They just want a pen pal.

Moreover, there are way too many inactive profiles. You can request to communicate with people all you want, but I'd say that 80% will never receive your request because they haven't logged on in 18 months.

Eharmony also doesn't allow you a lot of freedom with your profile. The main question is "What are you most passionate about?" Most guys answer this question pretty concisely: "Sports." Yawn. "What are you looking for in a partner?" "Honesty." "Who's the most important person in your life?" "My brother." And on and on.

The only thing that was good about eharmony was its relative privacy. Match and Yahoo are so public. But the downside is that you have to wait around for eharmony to deliver what they consider to be a suitable match (and God knows how they make these decisions). I think that all online dating sites are problematic and probably a scam, but others allow you more freedom to write about yourself and to pursue matches you find interesting and worthwhile. Eharmony has sent me some weirdos. That's the other thing--I'm pretty open-minded to all kinds of people, but the matches you get on eharmony seem extremely socially awkward. All I have to say: ugh.

I joined this site at 36, I've never been online before, since I believe there was a stigma for my age group. However, it feels like 'last resort' time and, based on all of the clever marketing & TV advertising, even my mom's coffee klatch said "join eharmony you'll get married". I pulled out my credit card, and did it so I wouldn't have any regrets. I have been on over a month, and no dates, lots of questions and emails though, that lead nowhere. Speaking of credit card; based on these reviews- (cancel or freeze it b/c they auto renew you, and there is no option to not auto-renew!? Couldn't find it!). I guess match.com has better success, but you need to weed out lots of people, which can be exhausting at this stage, when you are already exhausted :^) I feel like it is the same as dating in the real world, the men want some one young and pretty, women want the most successful. As soon as some one is interested, the other party thinks they can "do better", so, it is the same short circuiting (not connecting) as out there in the real world.

Wow....is it me or are the women on this site incredibly unattractive. I seem to receive nothing but a so called "flex match" basically causing women that I have very little in common with. Is it so much to ask that a woman at least be in the same state?

I prefer women that aren't bigger or heavier than I am, I don't think that's asking for much.

It seems as if all my matches are flex matches and unfortunately, a "flex match" is a "no match"

Eharmony charges a very high price for a very bland and mediocre service that you can easily get for free. Although they have a so called compatibility list, that goes out the window when you get your matches. I love the Eharmony commercials, how they try to cause social proofing through paid actors posing as real people who met through the Eharmony website.

My advice, save your money, there are much better services out there and they are free.

In my opinion Eharmony is a scam. 2 weeks before I let my membership expire I get a email from a girl in Florida. A match from Eharmony. Her english was awful, her profile was filled with mis-spelled words, which were the first indicators of potential problems. Well, she turned out to be a male nigerian scam artist posing as a female. I couldn't believe it!! So, where were these "29 dimensions of compatibility" checks that Eharmony is suppose to do and that I paid good money for!! Their checks couldn't even catch a crooked man posing as a woman !! What a joke!! I filed a complaint with Eharmony, no response. The crooks profile remained on their site, even after I reported him. Uhmm, isn't that interesting ? Could it be that they let this guy get through hoping that I would renew my membership after getting a match? I later filed a complaint with the BBB, and Eharmony gave me the standard reason that they're not responsible or can catch all the crooked people that fill out profiles on their site.

I have used eHarmony a few times. In some ways, I like it, and in some other ways, I don't care for it. I kind of like the idea of them matching you with people, so that my profile isn't viewable to anyone and everyone who lurks onto the site (like Yahoo did the last time I looked at it). That kind of gives me a feeling of safety. However, I think that their "29 dimensions of compatibility" are overrated.

For example, I have gone on a couple of dates, and from what I gather from them and from reading the profiles of the others I have been matched with, it seems that eHarmony deems me compatible with women who are very talkative. Now, I tend to be a pretty quiet, reserved guy. That doesn't mean that I'm a recluse or that I go to social events and spend the evening cowering in the corner. I just tend to be quiet, introverted, and stand-offish. It's just my nature. Evidently, eHarmony thinks I need a Chatty Cathy to "bring me out of my shell." On both of the dates I went on, I literally had to work just to get some input of my own into the conversations. Though to be fair, the second girl I went out with wasn't near as bad as the first one. In fact, I actually hoped things would work out with the second one. However, she decided she wanted to keep looking. Nonetheless, I think eHarmony may be a little off in regards to what type of person is compatible with me. They should probably stop pushing that "29 dimensions" stuff.

Another strange thing I noticed about the site: Many of the matches I got were law students. I never was able to figure that one out. Oh well. Maybe I should have went to law school to find a good soulmate.

All in all, I think I should probably just give up on this online dating stuff. It may work for other people, but evidently it just isn't going to work for me. The only times I've ever had any luck with anyone has been in the old fashioned "real life" situations. I think people may just need time to get used to me instead of meeting me once in person and wondering whether or not they want to proceed with me.

Also, I sometimes think that with online dating, people often feel pressured, and that may be why it often doesn't work. For instance, they spend time emailing back and forth, and then they meet once in person and feel pressured into moving forward. Likewise, many people probably make snap decisions about people based merely on viewing their picture on the profile, and subsequently end up passing up a lot of people with whom they could have had a lot of potential.

I absolutely loved this website! The first person I did all of the steps with (you complete a few steps before emailing a match) ended up being my lifelong partner! He is everything I could have asked for in a man. He lives 400+ miles away so I never would have met him otherwise. EHarmony is easy to operate and I received tons of matches. I was also his first match to complete all the steps as well. We are now planning on getting married this summer. I would recommend this site to everyone! I used a promotional code to save a little money on the cost. The only drawback to eHarmony is I could never find a telephone number to call someone about questions I had. Join the website now!!

I have been a "member" for about 5 years. Whatta joke !!! I finally just said NO MORE. I cancelled my subscription and WHAM I got 18 matches over 1 WEEK-END...I usually got 3 matches a month IF I was lucky.
I am a professional woman not some "dollie" looking to find a sugar daddy.

Please don't waste your time or money on this services. I did and now I have learned my lesson.

Eharmony proved to be a waste of $$$. Most of my matches weren't signed in in over a month. Plus I sent countless emails to the women, and none responded... Word of advice from the dumb to the wise: never pay for a dating site!!! You'll only end up losing money. Join the free ones instead.
Furthermore, I unsubscribed within the first 3 days, yet I never received my refund, and eharmony sold my name out to Bluedolphin.com's magazines. Magazines were sent to my home that I didn't want, and I had to pay for them. In a nutshell, eharmony is BAD NEWS!
