Reviews of eHarmony

What was once a promising dating site has turned sour. I had used eharmony in the past, and had entered into relationships with great results. With in the last six months, I have watched this site fall. The points system is really just an overzealous Myers-Brigg personality test. The selection criteria I entered is not even factored in to the equation that links me with my matches. All I requested is a female with no children who lives around Philly. After a few weeks, I was suddenly getting "matches" with mothers in New York city - that's over 100 miles from where I live! The few matches I got, that were in my area, were clearly from women who had cancelled their account (eHarmnoy keeps inactive accounts actively matching), or were from women clearly just trying the free sample and had no interest in serious relationships. I strongly believe that the competition has got the better of eHarmony, and they are trying too hard to keep their share of the online dating dollar. Avoid this site, as they are clearly spending more money on advertising and gimmicks than on sticking to their mission of setting up couples.

First the good. I was matched by many decent looking interesting sounding women. Here is the bad. Although I st a 60 mile limit on my matches 99% of them lived hundreds of miles away. Over half lived in Canada. Even the ones in my state lived at least a three or four hour drive away. This site is way to expensive for this type of junk.

Without a doubt, this has been my least satisfying online dating experience.

First bummer, it's the most expensive dating site I've subscribed to.

Second, I had to radically change my preferences to get more than two matches from this site, especially to find anyone within a day's drive!

Third, most female subscribers don't allow users to view photos immediately (for good reason!). I believe most here will agree that while physical attraction does not guarantee a successful relationship, it has to be there for the relationship to get off the ground.

In conclusion, I didn't get a single date from this site after all the money I spent. Two big thumbs down!!

P.S. If there had been a zero stars rating, I would hve chosen that!!

One thing to remember about any dating site: They only make money if they fail to do what they promise. If they match two people then they lose two subscriptions. It's as simple as that. Sure they all have the wonderful success stories, so do casinos. Eharmony is no different than the rest, except more expensive. I foolishly joined a month ago and I have to say that at least it's been funny. I receive matches on a regular basis but they're all hundreds of miles away, is that realistic? I filled out my preferences very clearly, matches within 30 miles, not willing to relocate, not interested in someone who wants to relocate. Is Ontario Canada within 30 miles of Massachusetts? Anyway, if you want to meet someone who shares your interests then go out and actually MEET people. If you want to waste some money, and maybe get a few laughs, join eHarmony.

eharmony is a waste of money. I had very few matches that met my criteria. There were to old 10+ years or more. Not active, to far away. Any that looked promising closed out before starting communication. It was very frustrating and I will never use it again nor would I recommend it.

Eharmony warning. No Stars. Zero..Nada... Eharmony will auto renew your account 24 hours before the stated date you account is due to expire. I had complained the previous month with less than acceptable results. This month I checked the date my account was to expire and went online the day before and they had already auto renewed my account. Make sure you cancel your membership subscription at least 24 hours before the date they give you that your account is due to expire..the auto renew at midnight 24 hours prior to that. The worst dating site I have ever been on. With over 300 "matches" only one appealed to me.

EHARMONY WARNING: Eharmony will auto renew your account 24 hours before the date they say your account expires... MAKE SURE YOU CANCEL AT LEAST 24 HRS PRIOR TO THE DATE THEY GIVE YOU AS TO WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT EXPIRES..THEY WILL AUTO RENEW IT AT MIDNIGHT 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THAT DATE. I wished to cancel my account...out of over 300 matches they sent me only one appealed to me.. I wrote them the previous month to complain about the auto renew and got a less than acceptable, incomplete response. The next month I checked the date I was due to expire, and the day before I went to cancel and they had already auto renewed and refuse to give a refund. Worst dating site I have ever used.

I would give it a "negative" score if I could. It is aweful. Hardly any matches. I am in Pittsburgh and 1 of my matches was in New Jersey and 1 in Maryland and a fair number of others were not close. I am not in a rural area. I have 20 closed 4 open. I joined 3 weeks ago. This is absolutely rediculous. People out of my age range - I don't want to date some guy who is biologically old enough to be my father. I am not hideous or Fat. I am an average weight etc. Called the "customer dis-service" number there is no way to get a refund, once you are past 7 days. What a load of crap. I was told to reset my choices...Oh - ok, great plan! Smoking makes me sick, so maybe I should allow that right? I don't want to date a drinker - I should allow that too??? Who do we contact about false advertising? Their ads are all lies. I am contacting the Better Business Burea. What they are doing is not fair. They are playing with people's emotions. There is nothing harmonius about E-Harmony. Oh, and their "click on the link to view the "keys to success" doesn't work either.

I have been a member since 2003, on and off. I'm one of those 40+ women who got discouraged and left. When I signed up for a new three-month stint the other day, I found out that there were a couple of matches that had been closed because I didn't respond. Reading the reviews on this site it seems that eHarmony creates a lot of anger and disappointment. My question: what did you expect? It's a private company offering a generic service to faceless individuals for a fee. Most of the successful couples they show could be on "Seinfeld" or the soap operas of today. We're living in a culture of illusion and fantasy, I agree. Despite this, some people seem pretty happy with what they get if they keep their expectations in check. I'm a feminist who has no animals (yes we want to date too) and am trying to keep an open mind this time. eHarmony won't be my only strategy for finding men to date, but why not try it? I wish members had more control, but then again, I kind of like their screening process. Perhaps closer to the end of my three months, I'll feel differently, but I'm actually surprised they found a match already.
