Reviews of eHarmony

I came to this website after googling "eharmony reviews" , just because I, too, have been rather frustrated in my search for a Tolerable Woman of Similar Morals. I've already been using eHarmony off and on for years now, and seeing as how I'm still single, I can't say that it's worked for me.. I came here because misery loves company. I was curious to see if anyone else has the same experience that I had.
I can't say that I've been through poor customer service.. they've never messed up my billing or refused responsibility for anything that went wrong, so on that end I can say it's fine. But I think the main problem with eHarmony is the same problem with dating services adn quite possible dating in general. We all have these expectations and goals we set for ourselves, and we're always disappointed in humanity when people don't live up to our expectations. So, it's easier to target our frustration out a company like eHarmony, but I don't think it's quite fair.
When I first got on, I went on a couple of dates.. always first dates and it was always the women making that choice. Then, I finally met someone that I wanted to be serious with, and we went out for a year, then she turned out to be a lesbian. At that point, I could never take the accuracy of the personality tests on eHarmony that seriously. But, I still went back. You know why? It's NOT SCIENCE. I don't remember reading anywhere that I'm guaranteed a girlfriend if I use eHarmony. After going back, generally, I get about 8 matches a day, 5 of them seem like somebody I'd like so I hit them up, and I get a response on the average of one per month. That's about 1 out of 224 matches. And that one match can't actually speak English that well. I still go back, because, even though it's not science, I figure on the laws of probability.. there are like twenty billion women in the world and only one right for me, so chances are they aren't on eHarmony, but I figure I should at least try. It's my fault if I can't judge someone's character or I can't make it work or if I can't display enough confidence to attract a woman. There is the crazy factor, yes, but that's the same as you meet a crazy person in a bar. Do you blame that bar? I say, eHarmony is no better or worse than any other acceptable method of finding a relationship. 3 Stars for just being another option.

!!!EHARMONY IS A SCAM!!! Like many members compliments. This site really sucks. I am a well educated engineer, good looking and have a good job and making great income. For one month, there is not even one man contacted me. I can only give 0 rating, horrible!!! Just another disgusted dating web site that gobbled up by money hungry people in cyber space.

Don’t let them auto-renew your subscription to scam you again…, go to “My Setting -> Account Setting -> Cancel Account -> …” to terminate your account. Save your cancellation paper and snapshots just in case, they may illegally charge you again, the other site did that to me, I then, shown them the paper, then, they finally had to stop!!! Shame on all of them!!!

Sincerely,

This is their response to me regarding a request to remove my debit card information on a suspended account. It's to me like a gas station keeping you credit card number forever and "Oh we put it in the safe, you can trust us" They are always about the money, and advertising thereafter. Trust yourself if you think it sounds bad. Lets consider the fact that they want XX dollars, no less than double digit, for a computer system to regurgitate "results" at you which nothing is ever deleted. EVER. "we are not responsible for our subscribers, just their credit card numbers" . Not impressed myself, but make your own decision.

Don't do it. Waste of your time, money, and effort. I am only half way through my 6 month "membership" and I haven't met a real true match. I will admit though I have talked to 3 girls since on here, and yes only 3 girls out of 7 matches a day for three months. All three seemed sweet. However, the ones that I was really interested in that seemed cool through their pictures and profiles have yet to respond do anything. Which goes to show, that 90% or so of the people on there are no longer on there, have only signed up for a free weekend, or have had friends sign them up. None of them are serious to be on the eHarmony site and none of them are really on there to meet someone. The ones that I was able to communicate were only on there to meet new people, and when it came to the point that you were willing to meet they dropped you like a bad habit and closed your profile from any future conversations.

So where is the -5 star at?

That this site sucks, and since it's the most expensive one I've found on the net so far, it REALLY sucks. Be warned they send you an enormous amount of so called "matches" that are so far from matching it's ridiculous. I get matches that are much too far away, way to different when it comes to backgrounds and interests - nowhere near my own... how could anything be this bad? It's absolutely amazing if you haven't already wasted your money.. Don't, just a suggestion... warning.... “Danger, Will Robinson!”.. Rip-ff ahead!

This site is a waste of time and expensive. Save your money. I had very few matches and ones that I responded to never responded back. I don't believe these men exist actually.

I read several reviews/complaints about trying to get your money back. It seems pretty hopeless but will try nevertheless. Do NOT use this dating site.

I am disgusted.another wad of my money gobbled up by money hungry people in cyber space. I am an attractive and successful , interesting woman and have had not one 'match' and there have been a number, get in touch with me...EHARMONY in my opinion is a money making scam!

This is one of many personals sites my dear husband has been kicked off of over the past two years for lying about his marital status and stalking. They didn't catch him, I did, and I have no way of knowing how many other singles sites he's registered on. I met him on yahoo personals 6 years ago and everything in his profile was a lie, including his marital status. for 9 months I dated a married man, he quietly divorced and later married me. I found out two years into the marriage that I had been a part of an adulterous relationship. Not only was his online profile a lie, but he was convicted of abuse of a previous spouse and abused my family as well, all while maintaining a personals ad looking for his next victim. I am sure this site is doing ALMOST everything it can to keep predators like him off their site, but there are other safeguards that can be put into place and ultimately online dating on any site is just not safe. We are still legally married, I have a restraining order against him, I carry a handgun to protect me and my children from him and he still regularly registers on dating sites looking for YOU. They do not check to see if you are married, they don't look to see if you are convicted of violent crime and if you register under another name/email address there is no way to tell if you've been kicked off the site before for violating their terms of service. Go out in the real world and find the love of your life. This way just isn't safe.

I have tried many times to login never works my pass word wouldn't work so asked for new one couldn't get in still wouldn't come up like it said also when i did get email couldn't get of all dating sites yours is the worse want out and will tell others how I didn;t get help like others I hate this site if you can't get help what good are you plenty of fish is alot easier then your site I would like my money back but I'm sure all your good for is taking our money

Horrible. I've given this a few shots and it never worked out. Mainly because the majority of the matches I got never responded. I decided to leave but even after canceling my account I was getting matches. It was a hassle to go in & figure out how to get everything to stop. I realized then that this is probably why everyone has a hard time getting responses, most of the matches probably aren't members anymore. I think if Eharmony kept it to paid members only, maybe the experience would be better. On a side note, an older woman I work with became a widow recently, she went on this site & met another very nice older gentleman and they are now married. So I guess there are success stories but not for me.
