Reviews of eHarmony

Eharmony is making alot of money in the lonliness business and what is worse they KEEP your profile active after you terminate the service . They also abuse your credit card and renew it without your permission. I fully believe they will be the brunt of a class action law suit at some point very soon. Now on to the basics they match you up using some random formula I have maybe one or two attractive women out of like 1400 matches and what makes it even more ludicrous is that most of the forced matches do not even have photos on the profile.
It is very sad that such a service can bill itself as some reputable when there are others out there such as Match that are much better and even some free ones like Plenty of Fish and Tagged that get better results.

As with the last few pages of reviews I have just read, I would give less than 1 star if possible. It took forever to fill out the questionaire, and yes, they at first came back with there are no current matches and suggested I change my criteria. Not gonna happen! So right off the bat, they want me to lie about myself. Red flag! But the next day they did send matches. Over my age group, barely my height, different body type than I am interested in, and wanted me to wade through all of them before they would send more.
I am not unreasonable, but I do want to find someone close to my age, level of fitness, and sorry, but someone who's not going to be staring straight into my chin when I put on heels and a dress to go to dinner. They don't seem to have enough parameters to filter out who you won't be interested in. Yes, there are psychological similarities that we are all looking for, but there also has to be an attraction on a visual level as well (and I'm not talking male movie star looks here) All the commercials talk about the zillion compatibility points they match you with, but there are still some non-negotiables that they ignore. I won't try them again.
Back to square one!

eHarmony--giving even the average looking/ugly chicks a huge ego... I swear to God, if you're a guy, good luck with any online dating service. They all suck balls, and eHarmony is no different. Let me first say that I went online dating because I have quite a busy life and I don't often have a chance to go out hitting on random women at bars, nor do I really want to. I thought that this site would be nice for a couple reasons--1) I could immediately weed out people I have nothing in common with, and 2) I could meet girls that I would normally never have the chance to meet. Seems like two good things. Due to the fact that there are probably 15 guys per every girl on these sites, your chances of being noticed are severely limited. Not to mention that almost everyone doing online dating has some kind of enormous physical or mental defect. I've been on eHarmony for a bit over 2 weeks. I've been sent over 60 'matches', been physically attracted to maybe 5 or so of them (sorry to be superficial, but let's be honest here, it's important) and out of those 5, I ended up talking to one girl, and eventually meeting her. She's really sweet and nice, but probably not my type physically. She's someone who I'd probably have never noticed had I seen her in real life at some random place. Even she admits to having tons and tons of guys falling all over themselves for her on eHarmony. She probably gets 10 communication requests a day. How many have I received? None. That's right, not one. Maybe at most, 10 girls have looked at my profile. I send out communication requests to girls I'm not even interested in, just to see if they'll respond. I either get closed out or ignored. Let me also say that I am by no means ugly. I am tall (6'2"), extremely physically fit, very social and outgoing, and quite good looking. I have never had a problem finding a girl before. I can honestly say that this was a total waste of money, and I'm going back to the old way of doing it--just going up to the cute girls. This online dating shit is for suckers.

I dated on many of the free sites match, yahoo personals etc. and not finding any real meaningful relationships. The guys I met were really just looking to score and most were poor. I then at a friends suggestion signed up for eHarmony. Although the questionnaire was lengthy I didn't have any issues with it. You would have to illiterate and a real dolt if you couldn't complete it. eHarmony's first test to get rid of phase I weeds. If they didn't like your answers and you were rejected then maybe it's because you shouldn't be dating at all and your a just a big loser. Because as long as you have the money and your straight that's pretty much their only requirements. Immediately after signing on I received approval and the matching began. The firsy guy was really nice and after the initial eHarmony online correspondence we started chatting on the phone. He lived in another State but he drove hundreds of miles to meet me in person. We met for lunch in a restaurant but when I saw him for the first time he failed to mention previously that he looked nothing like his photo so that was an issue for me as he resembled Shrek. I continued with lunch but that was the last time we communicated unless you count him stalking me via phone calls and hundreds emails later until he finally and blissfully gave up. eHarmony date number 2 was much better although he was kind of ugly he didn't lie about it so I knew in advance he was short and ugly. He had a fantastic personality and was alot of fun and it didn't hurt that he was a Surgeon and had this serious professional side. We dated for a few months but he was a little on the immature side believe it or not so we just became friends and remain so until this day. Match number three became my husband a wonderful, handsome, tall, fun and financially responsible man who is the love of my life. You know what they say three times the charm!

Please! What a waste of time. I cannot believe NO ONE exists in an urban 1 1/2 million people. I'm not a toad. Just a sap who lost $$ trusting an outdated service. I didn't expect a sunami of possibility just a hit from someone who reads,speaks intelligently and MIGHT have a sense of humor. I should have given the money to an honest cause. Warning! Don't waste your time or money.

Let's face the obvious - people are not subscribing to eHarmony anymore. Think about it - how would we know? It's not like other on-line dating services where you can see the date of someone's last activity on the site. I've had a faux profile of a beautiful woman on for months. She gets plenty of matches but rarely gets either requests for communication or closed out, so what does that tell us? It tells us that all of these supposed matches are long-gone members!!

So for all the people who are starting to get complexes, thinking they're not "match-able" - it's not you!!! It's because there IS no one within a 50 mile radius who subscribes to this overpriced service anymore!!

My advice is to go to POF. At least you won't have to pay for all the nonsense that seems rampant on all of these dating services.

This site is a serious waste of time. After signing up for and filling out the form to become a member i reviewed what i thought would be my first matches. As it turns out my first matches turned out to be 1 person. I figured maybe i had too strict requirements in drinking, or in distance, although i dont want to be with someone who is a huge drinker, and i dont want to try a relationship with someone who is all that far from me. I mean I have a life and a job, so it's not like i can just travel to wherever to meet someone. Over the course of a month i ended up having my settings as broad as possible without leaving this country. After all that, 2 matches. Come on. Do you mean to tell me that in the entire USA, out of all the women on this site, no matter how much they drink, smoke, ethnicity, any religious beliefs, there are only 2 who are compatible with me?!?!?!?! And these 2 wouldent even comunicate with me. It's bullshit, a scam to take your money. Save your time and your hard earned cash and just go out in town and try to pick someone up the old fashioned way.

OPEN COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS

I tried to find out why there is a descrepency in the 10 hour delay between the time I sent an open communication to my match and the time they actually sent the email to my match and they are evading and will not answer a direct question. SO DISHONEST!

They do such a blanket publicity and then cannot keep up with their obligations. If they do this again I will not stay with this phony dating service

The site is a ripoff.Most of the matches they send have no photo.Who would respond to a no photo.The rest are more than 100 miles away.I tried to get a refund based on that and they wouldn't give me one.Real bunch of christians.Just rip you off.You can't email directly have to go through these steps.Nine out of ten the person never respond.Your better off using your money going to bar and try to meet someone.Why can't I give it zero stars?

This site seems to be a scam to me. Out of like 70 chicks sent to me maybe 12 have looked at my profile. If these women are so serious about finding someone you'd think they would at least look at your profile. I have sent 1 girl an "icebreaker" and have heard nothing. I have been closed on 3 times total by women who are so ugly I wouldn't fuck them with your dick. I'm better than average looking, 5'9, average weight and have a decent job. I'm not fat, bald and work at Mcdonalds. Everywhere I go somebody is checking me out. WTF? I'm just saying these are women I would have closed on but they beat me to it. This site is insane. I paid good money for this and very few people even look at my page. This guided communication BS also sucks. You should have the freedom to send anyone a message in your own words at any time. If I would have known about the way that worked I would have never even joined. Then there's all these hidden fees they dont tell you about. Like ID verification, Secured call. I'm not paying e-harmony any more money. Fuck e-harmony! I have absolutely no faith in e-harmony what so ever. I wish I could just get my $138.00 back. To be honest I'm embarassed I even tried a dating site and the fact I paid money for this. Never again.
