Reviews of eHarmony

I have tried e harmony for several months. I thought that they offered warranty if you would. The fact of the matter is I feel they have their system set up so you have to at least spend several months and money to stay on Harmony for a period of time to be able to communicate. They say they match on compatibility. Is a physical attraction part of compatibility. Save your money folks. There are plenty of website that really do try to match you or maybe I should say let you match to someone that you are attracted to. I truly believe that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I like a certain look and others like another look so give us the tools to move forward with one of the most important tools. I wish that there were a website that posted measurement, and a group of photos within the past 60 days when they are posted. I would have saved plenty of lunch and diner money!!!! PS do not ever look for ANY refund whatsoever. THER IS NO WARRANTY. Go to some other website that e harmony!!!!!!

hi
I saw the e harmony ad on tv here in Ireland where I am at present and was curious enough to type google to find reviews of the company, and here I am.
In 2004 I was a resolutely single, shy and sure I would be mostly single through life, which was ok, but I lived in a cycle of happy alone - then sometimes lonely, so I was curious enough in 2004 to join several of these types of online dating sites at once, most of which were then free or almost free, and all of which I could search and meet/contact myself.
Anyhow the long and short of it is that as a 40 y/o female I initiated a couple of coffee meetings, plus about 6 guys contacted me, over about 6 months, and one is the man I married five years ago. We are very happy.
His profile BTW was practically non existent - typical for men I think..!.
I had completed my entire profile with total honestly and with a real photo, and I will be forever happy I did so.
I think you should be empowered by the web as a tool, and add totally honest profiles about yourself, and plan to meet people in public you choose to meet - self select IS the only way to go I think, to own the process, but you should maybe also widen your range, eg: I married a younger man, which was not something I had considered! [2 years younger], from a different country with English as 2nd language, different religion, etc, etc.
So stick with it, maybe another site though, and have your radar up/on alert, and don't reveal a lot of personal information [where you live or work] until you are confident you are not meeting someone married, or dodgy, etc, and introduce them on about 3rd meeting to a friend for their later honest feedback...
I DO believe I would still be single if not for internet dating, but it was also a lot of luck, and our compatibility ie: shared politics, values, humour, level of curiosity about the world - hard to measure or make clear online, unless you fill in those bits in the blank boxes in some detail expressing yourself. GOOD LUCK.

Imagine this, you fill out the questionnaire, and after you're done, press the button and receive what pretty much says I am unmatchable. I fall outside the range of their ability to match successfully.
The reasons:
I'm too creative, people basically want things to be mundane in their lives.
I'm too honest and speak the truth readily. I guess women want to be lied to and then complain later that you lied to them.
I'm too stable.
I'm too adventurous
Too passionate......WTF???

Honestly. I was married for 23 years. Until near the end, it was passionate and gentle. Our communication astounded people. Even now, so many people say our divorce was shattering to them, that if we couldn't make, probably nobody could.

I guess that I am hard to match and that eHarmony keeps things in a narrow corridor that assures their percentage of successes and I don't fall in that corridor but actually, I was a bit embarrassed. They could at least warn that strong, creative, literate, independent, passionate, sexy men need not apply. Doesn't say much for those they do take now does it. Rise up guys! You've been insulted!

Now, on the idea of success. Anybody know what the follow up is on these long-term relationships? How many end up in break up or divorce and on average, at what period of time? My guess is that success is determined in an equally narrow corridor.

This is what I love most about these reviews, you gotta take em with a grain of salt. The thing people are looking for are, scams, fake profiles, spam. Not that you haven't gotten a response or your matches are 'too far away' you have to use the site for what its designed for, a tool to new meet people outside of your social circle. Maybe you had no responses because something turned them off on your profile, or maybe your approach was incorrect with that kind of girl. What you have to realise is that girls on sites like this may bombarded with messages. Maybe she hasn't logged on. Maybe she found her match. All I'm trying to say is your disparity shows in your review so it probably does when it comes to your approach with women also. And as for the distance factor, sites like this really are impacted by your location. If your in Miami, Los Angeles, or New York, eHarmony will be more up your ally. Comparing to smaller cities and states with less of a scene, you will be better flirting within someone who knows someone. Get out there. It's common sense. True love doesn't happen over night. It's all trial and error. Cuddos to eHarmony, I regularly get responses and am very satisfied with my experience.

I have website problems - unable to log on and having log on cancelled. I have been unable to access my account for about 5 days. It keeps telling me I have the incorrect password and that I have requested a change. I have requested help and eharmony has not responded. I can't log on even to cancel my account. Eharmony had renewed my account without notice. I never receive an email that I have had a response.

Another issue is that men have posted incorrect personal information.

I had the same problem as the guy from Ohio... i guess i am unmatchable =[, i'm starting to believe it too... 18 yr. old single mother, who would want me? on top of that im lost like a stray dog, never taught any ticks... i'll ever get anywhere... thats why i gave up on love after i had my daughter. further more i am always gonna be shy and unable to get anywhere in life because of these 18 (so far) years of being mentally abused by my selfish, evil mother. when i have done nothing but stick by her, help her, and take her sh!t all my life. sometimes i wonder why i even try to find someone, all i do is kiss ppls butts and always get treated like some stupid bimbo or something. So you are right, eHarmony, i am unmatchable, thanks for confirming it by a real test.

eHarmony website is horrible! Everytime I log on I experience website issues. They might have great matches for me but I am unable to respond to the communications received because the website 'crawls' and after 1 minute an error message "we are sorry for the error close browser windows". I do not have any issues accessing other websites so it isn't my interent connections. The only thing I am able to do is:
1. View Matches
2. Buy one of their advertised items (funny how error messages don't occur if I click on one of the advertised links)

I don't know what these people are talking about, I have so many matches from my area and beyond that I have tons of things in common with, there is no way that I can get to them all, or even most of them. Also, I have no problem communicating with the friendly people at e-harmony themselves. I have spoken with them on line, as well as on the phone, and was satisfied with the help that I received. Thank you for all of your help e-harmony, and keep up the good work, and keep sending me those matches!! Your friend and client, Mark

LOL, eharmony is not for beautiful people. The site has no idea what you look like when you fill out their personality profile, so obviously you are being rejected for some other reason. Furthermore, almost every single woman they sent me as a match was been very unattractive.

I gave up om E Harmony several years ago because I was not
Able to get past the application process, management
Not able to match me with anyone. This left me believing
This was a service exclusive to the "beautiful" people,
Not for Mr. or. Ms. Average.
