Reviews of eHarmony

too bad you cannot select no stars. eharmony is, very simply, and unmistakenly, a scam.
there is no other possibility

i selected only women from w/in a certain geographic area , and they sent me matches from all over hell. i am a very fit and healthy man and selected that as very important, and they sent me dozens and dozens of obese women. the list goes on and on . i even did a couple test selections and it becomes immediately clear that they don't pay the slightest attention to any "scientific methods" or any methods , for that matter other than the method of cashing your check.
i cannot emphasize enough how bogus this website is and what a waste of money. go hang out in the fresh produce section of your local grocery store and your chances of meeting a good match will be infinitely higher, i assure you.

please, do yourself a favor and avoid eharmony like the plague.

I do not doubt that eHarmony works. However, you have to 'pay' to 'play'. I believe that as a member you are actually auditioning for eHarmony from the get-go.

Another poster here mentioned being patient with the process. This is completely true. To protect their paying serious clientle, eHarmony isn't going to introduce you to their core membership until they are certain that you are committed to the process.

Unfortunately for the internet dater, money speaks louder than actions. Not until you have made it through several of their hurdles will they begin to send you matches that are actually any good. This is true of most dating sites and services, even ones that are not internet based. Simply put, they are baiting you along. (the old carrot in front of the horse trick)

Let's face it, dating services are a flawed industry. Yes, you may ultimately find someone, but it's more or less like gambling or playing the lottery. You're better off not wasting your time and money.

well after reading the reviews i had to leave one .
i'm a 36 year old man who did not lie about anything on my profile . i did meet 2 people off the site one of which i had a ton in common with and thought it might be the one and the other not so much . i called another on the phone a few times and then she just kept putting me off . i would have to agree about the amount of nonresponsive profiles . i must have sent 30m - 40 flirts or what ever they call it and got about 10 back out of that 10 i think 5 actually went through the whole question process . it got to the point were i just went to fast track with no better luck . i'm not sure if online dating is for me or not but what else is there ? i joined singlesnet.com just to see if it was eharmony or all internet sites . so far it is a little better and to join for a year was only $90 , so for the money it is worth it i guess . well see ?

4 years after my 6 month subscription they still have my profile posted! They also wouldn't let me control the upper age range on my requirements, so instead of age 57 tops they had 65. What a scam. Falso profiles and disregard for preferences leaves the person trrying to find a match with feelings of rejection...all due to the deception and disregards of this service. Stay away. I will and will tell everyone who asks what a scam they are running.

If I could give less than 1 star I would.
Total scam site.

The "glowing reviews" you are reading here are from paid shills for eharmony.
They routinely pay writers to put reviews up on sites like this.
Ask yourself why someone that has been "happily matched" or "Found the love of my life" would be posting on a dating site.....
(sounds like the ad campaign doesn't it?)

Rip off.....

I am 46 years old, and I was appalled that I was sent matches to 62 year old men. In my answers, I had specifically stated a +/- 5 year span. EHarmony also sent me a subscription to Glamour magazine. As a Christian who went to a supposedly Christian dating service, I am very disappointed to be getting a magazine that is focused on sex, sex, sex. That is not to be the focus of a Christian's life. Especially not sex outside of marriage. I think EHarmony just wants women dwelling on sex so that they will get more women paying them for their dating service. Pathetic and shameful! Also, I have teenage sons at home, and I don't want them seeing such a magazine around.

eHarmony and their customer service are the WORST of any of the dating sites (3) I've tried. I was never able to upload my photos to my profile, all were smaller (all less than 1kb) than the max. 5mb size. I recieved numerous requests from prospective matches for photos. I contacted their customer service numerous times and recieved the same prewritten responce every time, I even sent them my photos to add to my profile, it never happened. Finally eHarmony blocked my profile after I added info explaining the photo problem I was having and offered prospective matches a solution to see my photos.

I really enjoyed the casual, Scientific concept of dating!
I was very encouraged by the idea that I was matched with
unknown women on a day by day basis. I got to tap on a
few shoulders. And, send some messages when I logged on
to the workshop. I will admit that I didn't understand the
matchmaking process for a few days. But, I dont have a hard
time meeting and making friends. Just like Victoria says,
"someone wants to me meet me too...". Some women where
responding to my profile, and some where responding to my
messages. Dating is very meaningfull to me, but Im out of
eharmony now! Algabraicly, I would expect different responces
from online members. Scientificaly provides an all to easy
way or excuse for members to isolate from any real action
going on. My conclusion, Be carefull! eharmony has to prove
that members are for real to me, If members dont do that themselves.

Reading all these comments has been very enlightening! I spent two years with eharmony with the idea that a decent average person was just fine. I never received that many matches for a long time -- maybe 2-3 every three months -- and those I did get were a menagerie of the oddest looking characters I have ever seen. Trust me, average is fine -- these were just terrifying. Those that I did correspond with mostly never answered back or had such problems from divorces that they couldn't bring themselves to actually go out with someone! When I quit, my box stayed open, which I found odd, and it rapidly filled up with literally scores of "matches" who of course could not get in touch with me. Buyer beware!

I have one word for all of you people, PATIENCE :) Believe me, I was in the same boat, getting people who were obese, not attractive, etc. I waited it out, and Thank God I did, because I was finally getting matched with some very interesting, compatible, attractive men. One of which that I have now been with for two years. We are "compatible" in every way, we are literally the male and female version of each other, we share the same beliefs, same values, and love each other deeply. Could this have just been pure luck? Absolutely! But I still have to thank E Harmony, if it wasn't for them I wouldnt be going on a trip to Aruba next week with the love of my life! :)

I hope you all find the happiness in love that you are looking for!
