Reviews of eHarmony

I would just like to say that I met my wife on EHarmony and we now have a beautiful baby girl. My opinion is simple, if you answer all the questions honestly when you sign up your better off for it. Don't bull$hit, just be true full. Yes your going to have a % of the people who are full of $hit but who knows you just might get lucky like I did. My wife and I have so much in common its scary. And buy the way she is a Doctor and I was in the Army when we met, we both just got tired of all the games being played out there and wanted to try something different. eHarmony worked for me and I have never been happier.

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. This was the biggest waste of time and especially MONEY! I made the fatal mistake of going the long haul. I have wasted almost $250. I have had only one match that was half way interesting and met my expectations, but that proved to be a big zero too. They claim to match people with like lifestyles and other specifics. This is supposed to be geared to unique situations such as busy professionals. Hog wash!!
I wish I had found this review site before making the monetary commitment. I will never fall for this garbage again.

Like many others have said, 1 star was the lowest rating available & eharmony certainly doesn't deserve even that.

I've told everyone I know NOT to ever employ this site & to warn their friends. It took me a couple of weeks, but I finally figured out that most of the "matches" they sent me were not paying members! SO DEVIOUS.

And eharmony's matching system? What a JOKE! None of the men I was "matched" with had a single thing in common with me. In fact, many of the men were my polar opposite in terms of political stance, interests, educational background and value system. Go figure.

Such a waste of my hard-earned money. Stay away!

eharmony what a f*********scam. Why is there a no star in this review site.

free subscription first as trial, get an inflow of matched people, then many replies. The people get more beautiful at end of trial. So tried the subscription, then ...pouf, suddenly nobody ?

After one week or so, got one or two. Then, got someone who said she was from the UK. So, I gave a try. Next, things went well after two months. On Third month, I went on a massive emotional rollercoaster.

Next got scammed. OK, some of you will say BS, I am dumb, etc. You haven't been in my place. So, shut up.
Lost $10k.

Later I found via someone that others got scammed same way. Turn out the scammers are professional conartists and hold degrees in psychology.

Scammers on eharmony are everywhere. So many of them and they are so real that you will get caught in their web.

I tried match.com also. I found out some pictures turn out to be from well-known porn stars.

What a waste of my time and money ....and lost opportunities ?

YES, LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

I do regret that while I was "dating"the scammer, I had that beautiful, blond beauty who approached me in the gym. The fact I was already in a relationship "with the scammer", I decided to decline her offer.

I, now, felt very bad about myself. I felt even worse for her. I am sure she must have been hurt emotionally. How terrible she must have felt. I wish she would understand my situation at the time. I was too involved with the scammer that I had tunnelvision.

ron fergurson is very mean persons and anyone that gets his profile don't answer it he is a very mean weird person a waste of time to get to know only thinks of his self very selfish person please beware so would won't be hurt ron fergurson from jacksonville fl. remember that name and move on

I've been on only a short time - less than 10 days, and I've had many, many matches who live in my city. Some are very interesting. Most are a bit older than me, and that's ok with me. maybe it works better if you live in a big city - more choices. I'm not christian, and I'm still getting lots of matches. I haven't had the problem of matches with non members. anyone I send first questions to has responded, and I'm at the phone stage with a couple of people.

So ... I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews on this site. I'd say it's pretty good for an online dating site. Maybe they should give out information on how many *paying* members they have in each area/region, so that potential members can evaluate their chances.

I got scammed... big time. I always stayed away from the on line dating scene. I'm a handsome, young guy and do alright for myself, but I was starting to want something serious. Like the typical person, I fell for the propaganda they call a commercial on tv that is played 4 times an hour.

Here is why you should join eharmony:
- You have no other options and want to give your money away before you die.
- You live under a bridge, but still have a wifi connection.
- It will give you something to look forward to. A match that will never come. Kind of like an old person waiting for there kids to visit.

Here is what you can expect when you join:
- Communication through mindless questions that take a week and a half. If you ever get to open communication, it takes another week of talk to get on a date. Once on that date, you realize just how far photoshop technology has come.
- You will get the occasional profile of some model that claims she is looking for an outgoing guy that is funny. You will sent off a message and... I don't know what happens. I'm still waiting.
- You will eventually edit your slider bar to allow the less than perfect matches. This bar is useless. I slide it all the way down, and all the way up. Same average of matches, same quality.
- At first I couldn't find a contact number on the website. It's there, they just do an amazing job of hiding it. I feel comfortable in calling myself "Batman" since it took his stills in finding it.
1-800-951-2023 eharmony.
- I set my age match to top out at 28. A year older than me. I was getting matched with 34 year olds with litters of children.
- In my opinion, eharmony has fake profiles.
- You WILL be matched with people that have NOTHING in common with you. Except for music and movies... if I had a dollar for everyone I know that hates music and movies...

After all this, if you are still sold on the idea, take a fork (go ahead, use the nice set) jam it into your eye.
This you will find is far more rewarding.

Good luck!

Pretty much a waste of time and money. I had almost no matches within 25 miles, and the few who did pop up as 'compatible' within my search zone were exactly the kinds of girl I avoid: party girls, unambitious types, chongas, etc. So why was I being matched with these people? Simple: the personality profile. It was so far off it's not even funny. It profiled me as a wild extrovert who wears his heart on his sleeve, loves to get down and party, and thrives on being the center of attention. Hah. NONE of my answers to their ridiculous personality test questions should have suggested such a personality type. I'm a reserved introvert who can't stand large parties or craziness - I'll take coffee and conversation any day to clubbing!

Regardless, I tried to make the best of it and went on a few dates which ultimately led nowhere. I got the feeling the girls I went out with were accurately profiled, very outgoing girls looking for a like-minded guy to go out clubbing with. Oh well, that's not me, and unfortunately you're stuck with your personality profile and whoever eharmony deems compatible with you.

Zero stars is not an option -- so sad.

E harmony has no "contact us" link.... they dont' want to hear what a scam they are.

Of the 20+ so called matches, only one responsed to my attempts to communicate and he was looking for the "trophey wife"... must have perfect body.

E harmony is a scam .... don't waste your money... go to a bar... buy a few drinks...you are just as likely to meet Mr. Right.

I am sorry I joined and find that eharmony is no better or worse than any matching service. They are all a shot in the dark.....it's like being in a bar....after you weed out the scammers, losers, drunks, married men, unstable, dirty, ignorant, you may get lucky and have 1 person worth talking with....and then what are the chances that this person is the one?

I didn't have great expectations. From the reviews I've read I see that many are from people who seem angry and have a poor understanding of the English language. I also read with interest that "looks" seem so important to many of the reviewers and eharmony members. One must stand before the mirror and ask, what do I have to offer....? I am fortunate to be attractive and I don't post my photo because I value what is inside much more than appearance. When looks fade, what's left....that is the question!

Keep your expectations realistic!

You will also find that what people write about themselves is generally not meant to deceive. It is more likely that they write about who they wish they were or aspire to be. I suppose it is similar to going out to meet someone, we put our best foot forward. The reality is in day to day life our best foot is rarely seen. We are just people and who has time to worry being perfect. I'd rather be happy!

I think I'll get back to the old fashioned way of doing things, get out there and mingle.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH EHARMONY - LONELY WOMEN BEWARE, THERE ARE MANY MEN ON THIS SITE TARGETING LONELY DESPERATE WOMEN AND USING THIS TO EXPLOIT THEM. DON'T BECOME A VICTIM.

People, remember being alone is not so bad, it's better than being stuck with the wrong person. I enjoy my own company too much to settle.

FYI: Married men live 10 years longer than single men, and single women live 10 years longer than married women.

Good luck to you....and remember what you send out is what you will get back!

Cheers!
