Reviews of eHarmony

I have attempted to use E harmony several times over the past few years. I agree with many of the comments posted by others. As I get older, even though I"m active and have many younger friends, there are very few matches. Actually there were very few matches period. I met several people and I could never figure out why I would be matched with them. There is nothing scientific about their process that I can discern. I think match.com is probably better overall. Don't waste your money.

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone in this! I truly feel ripped-off! I wish I could give it zero stars because it's terrible. Every day I wake up to seven new "highly compatible matches," and out of those, there are maybe a few I'm interested in, so I send them a little something, and get nothing in return! Right now I have 12 matches, and I'm getting nothing from any of them. There are even a couple of guys on there that were on 2 years ago when I was on! I guess I should have learned my lesson then. I'm not a bad-looking girl, I'm fairly interesting, educated, literate...so I'm not understanding how I'm not getting even one response. I'm going to cancel my subscription and hope to bump into my soulmate on the street somewhere, I guess. I'm so glad I read everyone else's reviews, because I truly thought maybe there was something heinously wrong with me.

I met mostly compatible women on eHarmony. Unfortunately, they do not screen for psychos and I met a few. One was a former prostitute who "heard dogs bark when demons were close by." Another had, as a teenager, been "with some kids who got drunk when a slasher showed up after they passed out and stabbed everyone but her! Another was a woman who had lost her short-term memory, like in the movie Memento. I also met some really nice chicks. I think they would have a great thing going if they would screen for psychopaths, sociopaths, schizophrenics, etc.

I actually did not have a bad experience, despite being skeptical. I tried eharmony a few years ago and didn't put a lot of thought into the questionnaire and was a little nervous / embarassed about it all. I went on one date and it didn't work out so I gave up then. I wasn't really ready for it.

However, last fall I was definitely at a different stage and a friend convinced me to give it another go. This time I was definitely a lot more open to it and took my time with the questionnaire. I found that my matches were more compatable this time around. I also found that, compared to two other sites I'd tried out, I felt that the people I communicated with were more serious. I agree that the site could be more clear about who is just on there for the free weekend, but I realized I needed to be patient. I communicated with several people, and even sent a few invitations to communicate myself. While I did have some interesting experiences when actually meeting in person with a few guys, I think I learned a lot about myself and what I was looking for. I met up with four different guys, two of whom I knew it wouldn't work with after the first date, although one of them convinced me to give it one more try. The third guy I didn't feel a big connection with, but the fourth guy was different.

It was the best date I've ever been on. I told a few of my friends about it right after I got home. I've been dating him for the past nine months and couldn't be happier. I realize that maybe I was just lucky, and I definitely know it's not for everybody. I was nervous to tell my family that I met this great guy on Eharmony because I know what tehy think about online dating, but once they met him, they forgot about it entirely. Don't be afraid to give it a chance.

All the positive reviews must be from paid employees of eharmony.com. I've used several dating services online, and this is by far THE WORST. And, to make things worse, it's the most expensive! Save your money! Go to a bar and give people a Cosmo quiz to see what their "personality" is. Ugh.

The experience I have had with eHarmony has been appaulling. The quality of matches I had were a total joke, with the majority being in different countries and as others have said - the amount of matches received doubled when I requested to leave!! The matches were not compatitble in the slightest. I also felt that no one wanted to communicate with me (my profile wasn't dull and I wouldn't say i'm bad looking) so that left me thinking that there weren't many male subscribers. Anyway, I cancelled, received an e-mail asking for feedback which I provided. 2 weeks later they take money from my account! I e-mailed them only to be told it's my fault they took the money as I hadn't cancelled properly... Yeah right... I got a message confirming my cancellation! I e-mailed back asking them to reconsider refunding my money otherwise I would make this awful customer service public knowledge along with my bad experience. Not surprisingly, I didn't hear back from them. I would definately avoid this dating site - total rip off.

Eharmony has been very disappointing. The compatibility thing seemed to work well, at least in theory, but once I signed up there wasn't much to be enthusiastic about. I joined on a free communication weekend & got 30+ matches who actually seemed compatible. As soon as I signed up for 3 months, the matches dwindled out to almost nothing & not one man has contacted me. (I posted a photo, don't look like a troll, am educated, sane, fit, etc...)

At first I felt terribly rejected but then started experimenting with sending icebreakers & questions & emails to all the men on the list who sounded reasonable. Still no response. I then realized that the majority of the matches probably signed up for the free weekend or (as others have said) met someone long ago & were not even active. Alas, I guess I'll never know for sure.

Eharmony needs to come clean about some of their business practices, which are shady. They lure in potential members with other potential members, a lot of who never actually sign up.

I also suspect that there are way more women than men on this site, but eharmony won't divulge the numbers. Try another dating site.

I'm with everybody else on only giving them 0 stars!
I have been trying everything to get them to correct my name, they spelled it wrong! they left off the L! I have not given them any money either because they keep sending "matches" from out of state and I said within 50 miles! I'm getting them from WA., OR., TX., CO
Seriously!!
There is no way I would ever give them my hard earned money!

eHarmony is a total joke. The only time I received communication from someone is right before my subscription expired. Be careful - this is one of their ploys. I truly believe they are sending the e-mails from some fake person they created. Plus they are very expensive. Don't waste your time!

This is the worst dating site ever. I have given it several chances. The only thing they have going for them is advertising.......and that is a scam. They send you matches that are totally not compatible. Not sure why they have you fill out the lengthy profile. They can't seem to get it right. Not to mention.....even when you tell them not to auto renew..........they still take the money out of your account. They will not admit fault when they mistakenly take money out of your account when it was not authorized. They just say......I'm sorry, but we can't refund your money.

I would give them 0 stars......but my review would not be posted unless I chose one.

They are crooks and need to go to jail. I would not recommend this site to anybody.
