Reviews of eHarmony

After answering over 400 questions about almost everything under the sun, I received a message stating that eharmony would not be able to match me due to my answers... I am just a normal, down-to-earth, go- to- work everyday black female looking for love, and I answered the questions as such. I don't worship the devil,I'm not a lesbian or bisexual. But somehow, my personality was too unique to be matched on eharmony. I guess honesty is not what they're looking for when you answer the questions. I think your answers must precisely fit the personality types that are obviously already set in the system. What a waste of time.

It's not really horrible but it's certainly no better than any of the other internet dating sites out there and Eharmony charges two or three times as much as the others. The men I was matched up with all lived more than 30 miles out of my area. Most of them closed the match stating "I feel the physical distance between us is too great." I certainly agree, yet Eharmony insists on making these long distance matches. Also, in spite of Eharmony's claims that they will match you with someone who loves you for who you really are, all the men I was matched with, according to their profiles were looking for a tropy mate, the Barbie Doll type. Like I said, no better or worse than the other sites but not at three times the price.

Okay, I believe e-harmony is a decent website. I joined for one month only and I went on five dates with five different men. E-harmony is just like the other websites that I have tried in the past; however, the only differences is that you know that the people who are being matched with you are somewhat like you. I find this quite scary because some of my matches were a bit creepy. I was matched with 150 men in less than 30 days; I decided to be quite picky about a lot of things. In fact, I had my friends view a lot of the profiles with me. Not everyone uses e-harmony with the same intentions that you may use it for. I am looking for a relationship and several of the men that I went on dates with were not. These men are looking for a quick bedroom experience OR they just got out of a relationship of five to six years. I am presently corresponding with three of the men I met through this website. Soul mates? Hardly, we’re just friends. I do think that e-harmony charges too much and for the a cheaper price, you can find the same results using any on-line dating website (or even one of the free ones). On-line dating to me is just like meeting someone in real life, because you never know that person’s expectations or what they want until you discuss it with them.

Well, I have something else to add to the reviews - over an 18 month period I had two eHarmony accounts. I had questioned the system -could I fill out that L O N G questionaire the same way twice and get the same matches?? The answer to that is yes and no. Yes, I received some of the same matches (not immediately however, as another reviewer pointed out - the matches are in the system - they deal them out to you at their pace). And no, most of the matches (90%) did not match up in both of my profiles. Maybe the system is too specific if you can't fill out the questionaire twice and get the same results?

I joined eHarmony not long ago and although I am 56 years old, they tried to match me with guys 70 years old living in the middle of nowhere (I always check MapQuest to check the location of weird town names) - these guys seem to be loggers or campers, with no picture or those with one, look horrible. As many of you complained, I also received note saying that I never replied to a man's questionnaire when the reality is that I never received any questionnaire!

Now, it's been 2 days that I am trying to log on to my account, but there seems to be a problem as the site does not even show up on the screen.

eHarmony is a scam and very costly for the kind of guys they try to match you with. I am very disappointed.

Guys, I agree eharmony is basically a waste of time and I especially sympathize with those who have been ripped off by continual charging of your credit card. I have a solution for you if you want to continue trying eharmony or any other online dating site. Get yourself a "pre-paid" credit card or "gift card". Put just enough money on it for the subscription you want and use that instead of a real credit card. It works just like a real credit card but when the money you put on it runs out eharmony will not be able to continue charging you. This is a good, and safe, way to try out these services that like to continually renew your subscription against your wishes.

I'm 37 and I have earned a Ph.D. and have a very successful career. For one reason or another, mostly to avoid divorce at too young an age, I never married. I am interested in falling in love and being in a committed relationship and hopefully having a baby.

After reading some of these reviews, I now feel like from some of the men on eharmony, that's a crime for an old hag my age.

I have news for you men who already have children from a previous relationship, if you think that us old gals who want kids are desperate to be with any of you, think again.

Ladies, go out with younger men. I have had great luck on eharmony with men who have never been married and no kids who are YOUNGER. You have to change your match settings ladies or else you'll be matched with men up to ten years older and ONLY two years younger. What if your match is THREE years younger than you? You'll miss him!!

I put on my profile that I am not interested in a man who has already been married or who has children. I'm not able to filter them out. Eharmony only allows you to select if you're willing to be matched with someone who has children under the age of 18 living at home -- most single dads don't have children living at home, so you can't filter them out.

Men, change your match settings if you don't want a 40+ woman who wants kids, or do us a favor and put it on your profile so we don't waste even MORE of our valuable time on you. Thanks.

Almost mind-boggling ridiculous. Someone should sue this company. I started talking with someone and they said they had been a member for 2 months. Well, I had been on for 6 weeks. Why weren't we matched immediately??? WHY CAN'T I SEE EVERY MATCH IMMEDIATELY?? This site is a joke, they feed you one or two matches a day to keep you subscribing. It's a rip-off, the worst site ever, I'd give it negative stars.

I've decided eHarmony = e Harm On Me. I had tried it before without success but was willing to try again and I am not sure why. I just got off the phone with a customer service representative about someone closing a match stating I never replied to their request to communicate which I am a hundred percent certain I didn't receive. They'll send the person an email letting them know that I never received the request ... right. In reviewing the match the rep is like 'ohh you made it all the way through this stage'. Yeah, duh, why do you think I'm calling to complain about it? I really would have liked to communicate with that person! I can understand if a system has glitches, but just tell me, did he or did he not send me a request to communicate? Dead air. I can't imagine he'd pick that reply if he hadn't. It's like I've stumped the customer service rep with my inquiry, it's pretty simple bub, check your computer. I don't want a refund, I just want my messages, I pay you a fortune for them. I can't believe how I managed to keep calm. This is people's real lives here buddy, have some compassion once in a while. Then to have the nerve to pitch me your canned message as we hang up "good luck in finding the love of your life". Heck, maybe I had but apparently I don't have control over it, your computer system does. I'm a lot steamed right now which doesn't help my rating but after reading through the posts here (unfortunately after I resigned up) I don't think that my experience is too far out of the norm. I'm not sure when I might log into my account again, except in hopes to potentially hear from the one that got away. One expensive lesson.

E harmony has so many computer glitchs it is impossible to use.

I've had messagges not received. I've had sent messages not received I've had matches disappear while in the open communsection stage (three at the same time)

all including myself in the great yonder of computer nothingness

without warning or cummunications from e harmony

I've sent messages on e-harmony's "how are we doing" department (3) to complain for the above mentioned problems and never received any answer

Eharmony is not just - not worth the hassle

I'f possible would give them a ZERO rating

I'm out
