Reviews of eHarmony

I am sorry I joined and find that eharmony is no better or worse than any matching service. They are all a shot in the dark.....it's like being in a bar....after you weed out the scammers, losers, drunks, married men, unstable, dirty, ignorant, you may get lucky and have 1 person worth talking with....and then what are the chances that this person is the one?

I didn't have great expectations. From the reviews I've read I see that many are from people who seem angry and have a poor understanding of the English language. I also read with interest that "looks" seem so important to many of the reviewers and eharmony members. One must stand before the mirror and ask, what do I have to offer....? I am fortunate to be attractive and I don't post my photo because I value what is inside much more than appearance. When looks fade, what's left....that is the question!

Keep your expectations realistic!

You will also find that what people write about themselves is generally not meant to deceive. It is more likely that they write about who they wish they were or aspire to be. I suppose it is similar to going out to meet someone, we put our best foot forward. The reality is in day to day life our best foot is rarely seen. We are just people and who has time to worry being perfect. I'd rather be happy!

I think I'll get back to the old fashioned way of doing things, get out there and mingle.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH EHARMONY - LONELY WOMEN BEWARE, THERE ARE MANY MEN ON THIS SITE TARGETING LONELY DESPERATE WOMEN AND USING THIS TO EXPLOIT THEM. DON'T BECOME A VICTIM.

People, remember being alone is not so bad, it's better than being stuck with the wrong person. I enjoy my own company too much to settle.

FYI: Married men live 10 years longer than single men, and single women live 10 years longer than married women.

Good luck to you....and remember what you send out is what you will get back!

Cheers!

Actually, one star is the lowest rating avaiable. Zero or minus 10 stars would have been more realistic. Do not join!!! Major scam job. Not one of my "perfect matches" lived within a 2 hour drive. Complaints to eharmony are addressed with scripted platitudes. Don't get duped by matches that don't exist.
The scientific screening process is a numbers game and has nothing to do with reality. The right picture, profile and answers have nothing to do with the matches. You will receive a "hit'", someone is interested in you, so you follow the guided communication and nothing happens - no responses. eHarmony has used your photo and profile to get others to join. You are the bait. This has been a total scam. They cannot and wil not live up to thier end of the membership deal. I wish I had read the reviews first and not joined. It has been an all around disappointment.

Grow up!! Any dating site is full of scammers. If you dont know this then you are an idiot. Match.com contains 60% fake profiles. The good looking women are all either fakes or scammers. You see sexy Lucy on a profile and when you contact her, she replies that she is actually Ludmila from Russia who wants to marry you just because you contacted her(Try it, it's fun. LOL). The rest are just not worth it... ugly ass!!
I'm young and looking for fun, I cannot expect eharmony to satisfy my immediate needs. I am currently a member because I'm already securing my pension plan:-) Been around and know what i'm talking about. I'll have better chances with them.

An absolute joke....what matching technology? First, I live in DC where there are no shortage of single men in this city and surrounding areas. The matches they sent me were ridiculous.....and had nothing to do with the criteria I mentioned. The matches were actually laughable. Answering all of those questions did NOTHING to elicit a match that approximated anything that I listed. AND for weeks and weeks I would get NO matches...UNTIL I decided to cancel my membership....then I was getting matches every 2 days.....A SCAM. Besides, even though you answer all those questions, you know NOTHING about the person...it tells you nothing about who they are or what they may be like...because there is almost no place to write your own thing.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY....

Again, as with past reviewers I would give eHarmony zero stars.
I only joined as I saw the offer of three months for the price of one. This was after being a member for a couple of weeks without subscribing, then they sent the offer via email.
I've seen the adverts as most of us have. The idea of matching you with someone who is totally in tune with you on all levels was very appealing.
But only receiving around 2-4 matches a day makes the whole thing seem rather expensive. After the first month I'd had around 100 matches sent to me. Of these I would say 25 never had any pictures posted. Of the remaining matches I found around 10 profiles appealing and sent icebreakers and I never received an icebreaker or any other contact back. For information: Yes, looks are important. In my opinion if you don't find someone attractive then it doesn't matter if you're a 100% personality match.
You might think it's because I have two heads or my profile isn't appropriate. But I think I'm quite normal, decent job, quite good shape, no baggage. I've had success in meeting people in the past through Match.com and DatingDirect so I feel I can measure eHarmony against these other sites.
I would say that if you actually want to meet a life partner through a dating site then spend your money on Match.com or DatingDirect.
As my eHarmony subscription comes to an end I'll be careful to make sure it's cancelled.

Can you give zero stars, because I would. I would strongly suggest that if you EVER cancel your account, you continually follow up and ensure it's actually cancelled (make screen prints - they don't send emails). Also, if you think you did not sign up for auto renewal, keep checking that too. This company will charge your credit card, once you cancel, and then claim you didn't cancel and/or where always signed up for auto renewal (even though you know you didn't). Make a SCREEN SHOT of everything and store it.

As for dating, YUCK. No one came close to being a match...and even though you fill out 20 pages, liars still get through.

Oh ya, and check the BBB site for more complaints. This company is not as great as it touts.

eharmony is awful. Zero stars would be most appropriate. My subscription is running out shortly and .. good riddance! A total waste of money. As has been noted by other reviewers, the scam is that they "match" you with non-subscribers who have no ability to communicate with you. Therefore, any commuiques sent from you just sit there, never answered. Not a very nice way to stroke one's ego. Of the men that have communicated, 95 percent are well over 800 miles away. Only one match was made close by and once we emailed back and forth for awhile, we realized that we had absolutely nothing in common, our politics were opposite ends of the spectrum, etc. Eharmony's "special" match ability is just a marketing scam.

I would give eharmony zero stars if that were available. Most matches had no photo making them of no interest to me. Most of the matches were over 500 miles away. There is no way I am going to go 500 miles to see some overweight woman who is supposedly "well matched" to me. The whole concept is ridiculous.

refute it, dispute it, eharmony is a plain scam.

whoever says it works for them , i want them to put a hand on the bible or koran (if you believe in GOD) before commenting on this website that what you said is true, and you are not working for the company.

know tha if you lie, you know what the bible or koran says ...

A waste of money for the average person. With online dating you have to look good on paper. Few people can actually look good enough on paper to make online dating really work for them unless you want to really lower your standards. In person you have chemistry with someone. Online you see if their qualifications matches your checklist, and number one is always physical. This site has nothing special over any other site, it's just a gimmick to charge more money.

So for guys, if you are a minimum of 5'9, attractive, and a career, any dating site will work well for you. With that being said, eharmony is expensive and the website is slow(I'm a web developer so slow loading is really aggravating to me). Waste your money someplace else.

For girls, you just have to be attractive, decent shape, and no kids. (Although many guys don't mind children).

The scam part. You will get matches from people that don't even have a subscription. The last 60 days of my subscription, all of a sudden they start giving me many matches every day. Which obviously don't have anything in common with me. I have been a member for 1 entire year. I have had a few dates and the compatability was low.
