Reviews of eHarmony

Would of given 0 stars , agree very much with some of the more recent reviews. That you get many so-called matches when you join , then as you get closer to end of or close to experation ,you get none, 90% of matches nothing in common , a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, I would leave my personal e mail to verify but dont think it would allowed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY with these thieves, nothing but false ads. I have previously paid for a 3 month time period so I know of what I write. Just being upfront and honest

This sight is a waste of money spent. You start getting fewer and fewer matches as your expiration date approaches, not just my experience. Women loads of profiles are outdated , hide their pics and when you get to see it its someone most likely you would not want to meet. i.e. seriously overweight. Dont waste your time or money , just an honest opinion from a 3 month period.

Eharmony has to be the worst dating site I have ever come across. A few friends and I have been on Eharmony for the past 3 months and we won't be renewing. It was a complete waste of time. The matches were nothing like the type of person we were looking for. I thought maybe it was just the way I answered the questions, but my friends answered theirs differently and we kept getting some of the same matches. Their matching is a joke and they even send you "flexible" matches who are even further from the type of match you would like to receive.

The site is also way too expensive for the service you get. I did receive a lot of matches in the beginning, but after the first 2 or 3 weeks, I would receive maybe 3 matches every 7 - 10 days. At this point I haven't received any matches in a couple of weeks and my subscription expires in a week, so I don't anticipate meeting anyone compatible with me through this site. In total, I spoke on the phone with three matches and actually went out with one. This is similar to the experiences my friends have had as well.

I would definitely not recommend this site to anyone who has a busy life and doesn't have time to go through the lengthy guided communication to finally end up no further ahead than you were when you started. Save your money and try one of the free sites.

No star! I agree with the negative reviews that I have read on the page. more than 70% of my "matches" are more than 100 miles away. My criteria is 30 miles. You read the profile and wonder why they were even matched to you. When I attempt to communication with a possible match, I have never received any response. I consider myself fairly attractive and intelligent. If they are truly an eharmony member, I would think that at least they would respond to my inquiry if they were looking for a possible match. Slick marketing campaign and I fell for it.

My past experiences with them in 2005 were not the best. Matches with people 50-200 miles away, did go on a couple dates with one girl but no sparks.

Thought I'd check a review site before I tried them again. I wont bother. Thanks!

I've tried eharmony a few times, and I'll give it two stars. I would give it one star, but I do kind of like the way it's set up, so I'll give it an extra star. I like that it's not set up like Match or Yahoo where you're basically on display like cars on a sales lot. For the most part, I think it's a bunch of hype. Reading through some of these other reviews has made me feel a little better. It's good to know that I'm in good company with my experiences with this. In fact, I'll give a little bit of a warning: Eharmony sometimes isn't very good for your self-esteem. The first time I used it, it made me feel like a total troll for a while. I eventually got over it, but still.

Now, some of the other reviewers have made remarks along the lines of "I'm not shallow, and I hate shallow people as much as the next person, but I kept getting matched with very unattractive people." Why don't you just come out and admit that you want an attractive person as your significant other? It's a lot more respectable to say that than to try to tiptoe around it with these "I'm not shallow, but . . . " lines.

Some people do have success with the site, but the success stories seem to be few and far between. You're probably better off meeting people in real life. Maybe take a class, do some volunteer work, join a club, or something like that.

Another issue I have with Eharmony (and most other dating sites as well) is that the profiles really don't give you much of a chance to convey much about yourself. Log in to your eharmony account and you should see what I mean. You really don't know much about most of your matches after reading their profiles, do you?

I was an eharmony member a few years ago, and now I'm back. I like the setup. I like that's it's not like some of the other sites where everyone is on display like canned goods at the supermarket. However, I am a little curious about exactly how the whole matching system works. I have been matched with women who I had very little in common with and who were very different from me in terms of personality. I'm not anti-social, not at all. But I'm an introvert, and I tend to be a little quiet and stand-offish. The last time I was on eharmony, I was matched with a girl who could literally talk non-stop for a half hour. During our coffee date, I think I got maybe three or four sentences into the conversation due to her talkativeness. Don't get me wrong, she was a nice girl. But I think someone like that should probably be with a guy who is a little more extroverted than I am.

One interesting thing I noticed was that I tended to get matched with a lot of law students. I can't tell you how many times I got a new match only to read her profile and find out that she was in law school. Maybe if I had gone to law school myself, I would have found the love of my life.

Also, I think eharmony needs to tweak their matching system. In my settings, I specifically said that I only wanted to be matched with girls within thirty miles of my home. I live in a metropolitan area, so this isn't unreasonable. However, I got matched with girls who were in Maryland, Illinois, and Kentucky. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure they are nice ladies, but if I'm in Ohio, and they're in those other states, then it's not going to happen. I have a freshly started career here, and I'm not interested in picking up and moving away for someone. Plus, since I specified that I didn't want any matches more than thirty miles away from me, then I shouldn't be getting matches from far away places. Eharmony, you need to address this.

All in all, eharmony isn't too much of a disappointment. I think some of the people are are angry because they got their hopes up too high. Even though they say it's different, EH isn't that much different from dating IRL. You still have to deal with rejection, flaky people, shallow people, etc. Online dating isn't going to allow you to literally purchase a compatible SO, even though it's easy to think that if you're new to online dating sites. Also, you're probably going to have to go through a few, if not several, matches before you find "the one."

Beware! My Son met and married a woman from e Harmony, 3 months later she talked him into marrying her. She was nothing like he thought she was. As soon as she moved in, it turned into a nightmare. She was from Salem and claimed (and still does) to be a Christian. She tricked my son into having a child with her and now is divorcing him and trying to take his house retirement and more. They have not even been married 2 years and were separated after six months. My son had alot before she came along with her 2 kids from 2 different Dads. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! SHE WILL BE ON THE PROWL AGAIN!

Next month I will have been on eHarmony for five years. I am still single. There has only been one significant relationship generated by eHarmony. That individual was a "con artist" who "marked" me early in our relationship as someone who could be skillfully manipulated out of all my savings and my property. He is still suing me at every opportunity.

I have been on dates with other individuals matched by eHarmony. I do not understand the matching criteria, but these men are nothing like me. They are very nice (and I hope they all find the woman of their dreams) but they are not even close to being right for me.

I hope eHarmony takes a look at their matching system and finds some way to connect people who are compatable.

Much of the dating in middle age deals with some common sense. Men, don't take it personally. Many women joining Eharmony probably have difficulty in maintaining a relationship or there is a red flag in their package. Those women in their late 30+ has showed disinterest to others before me. The woman's pattern has consistency. Through my 3 months, I stated that I was interested in physically athletic women. For whatever reason(s) I was canned by most of the matches. The few that showed interest, they weren't athletic. My recreation has a high emphasize on participating in sports. I sum up my mental character as a Dr. Laura S. thinker.
