Reviews of eHarmony

I don't think I would even give this site 1 star as well. I don't care if the 5% of you found it to be great, I have been on that site for 4 months now at $50 a pop each month and feel its been a waste. Of coarse anything is possible, its possible to meet someone online just like its possible to get hit by lightening! And with every criticism I will give you I will say why.
I had allot of matches and allot of closed matches that I never even got to know. People closed matches based on who knows what! I mean they never meet me or even talked to me. To look at a profile and disqualify me automatically is weird to me. And I am not bad looking to say the least I will post a link to my myspace and or face book pages if you like!
I think this site attracts allot of people who are looking for the ultimate perfect person, and I'm sorry to say that doesn't exist! They don't look at relationships correctly. If you are compatible and got matched I am sure it was for a reason. Instead they just want what they asked for and if you don't meet the expectation they have created in their mind they show no real effort to get to know you. That’s called laziness!
The 3 matches I actually communicated with were horrible experiences. 1 person I went out with twice and he end up telling me after wards in his own words I wasn't good enough for him. He had the nerve to say he needed to be with someone he felt was smarter than him, F**k him! And he had the nerve to still try to get in my pants regardless of how "dumb" I supposedly was.

Date 2 seemed nice off the bat. He told me stuff like "I haven't felt this comfortable with anyone in a long time"
Then he just started avoiding me after 1.5 dates and ended up texting me saying he had no connection with me! On top of that this jerk said he had been married before and he never even initially put that in his profile. So if he wouldn't have lied, him and me would have never been matched to begin with. So not only is he a liar, but has no balls either!

Date 3 I never meet, we just emailed back and forth. I suggested we chat on the phone and he said after he gets to know me we will talk. So I thought that's cool. Next thing you know the match was closed, saying, "perusing another relationship".

These people never even gave me a fu**in chance! They act like they are shopping for a car not a relationship!
I refuse to spend $50 a month to be treated like this. I can easily get the abuse for free else ware!
I am of coarse being sarcastic! But I need to vent for one, and two I wanted to make people aware that it’s not worth the money you pay. And its sad to say but I have tried other dating sites and have gotten different but just as bad experiences as well!
I have no idea where to meet nice men these days and frankly I am giving up for the time being.

There was no option for a negative star so I am giving disHarmony 1 star. I was matched with a former employee of mine who, of course, I knew quite well, and I couldn't think of someone I would be less compatible with culturally and from a personality standpoint.

I had been on eharmony before without any success many years ago and thought I would give it a try again. What I guessed this time was that if I signed up for the free trial and then poked at the website enough, sooner or later they would send me a BARGAIN for someone they thought they were losing. So I think I only paid $30 for three months, but even that amount is too much for this collossal waste of time.

Their personality profile on me was pretty spot-on in four out of five areas, one area a complete miss, but from the matches I received it looks like they don't use this information in any of their matching.

Their "Guided Communication" is stilted and gets in the way of any communication.

It's amazing that such a large operation like this can get away with such deceptive advertising.

I am not familiar with the site as much as other people who were rating it before. I signed up to help friend, becasue she got an advice from other person. I hate all the confidentiality about it. It takes a long time to even see the person, and more money are required to go though. We were looking at the profiles for a while, all were disorganized and each time we come back to matches- it did not work out that well.

My advice is that sice so many people reviewed negatively about this side (and as I noticed there is over 1000 entries, maybe those people can meet up or present their criteria about other half and - with no payment - meet up or contact via email.

I am aware that it might be a bit unconfortable, but well, I guess all of us were riped off at some point in our lives. We are looking for other half to complete our lifes.

It is your choice to be involved. I am from NY and looking for a man who is about 6ft and in his 40-ties. I would love to hear from somebody... thank you =O)

There are many wonderful people up there, thus...why not?
best wishes

ZERO stars for eHarmony. I got hooked in on a "special" rate. It is a total waste of time. My "very important" criteria was totally ignored. There is no way to just quickly go through and view then eliminate the "matches" that they should not have sent in the first place. MOST of the profiles do not have pictures. I don't believe I am that unapproachable and had a nice profile set up... started communiction with ONE person.

Don't waste your time (a lot of time required with their set up), or money. I am now happily chatting with local friends on a FREE site.

Good luck singles. ;-)

one star is too many stars.. eHarmony gets 0 stars...

Here's all you need to know... if you don't pay eHarmony, you don't get to even see your "matches" (which will be no less than 100 miles away from you anyway). You'll spend about an hour answering an endless array of questions, at first you'll get "No matches" and you'll leave.. then at around 4AM in the morning, your blackberry will EXPLODE with e-mails from eHarmony with matches.. now you're awake, you go to see what eHarmony is offering you and whamo.. "only paid subscribers can view pictures IF POSTED". lmao no thanks.

If you're not fat or fugly, don't go to eHarmony...

And to the poster directly below mine.. there are plenty of "normal" folks that go online to find a date, especially in this Obama Economy... get a clue, pal.

hmmm. Maybe all of the negative reviewers are just pissed because no one on eharmony wants to date them for whatever reason. Then again, how many of the people who have had positive experiences are going to get online to review it? Not many. No, it tends to be all the whiners who have had a bad experience that are out for revenge.

I started to check out online dating in general about 1.5 weeks ago. I got a short term membership on all the 3 major sites I know of: eharmony, match, and yahoo personal. Match and Yahoo have been an utter waste of time and money. Fortunately, I have already canceled my memberships and won't be charged after this one month "trial."

Eharmony on the other hand has been sending me 5-6 matches a day of mostly attractive women close to my age and with rather similar interests to mine. I can quickly see who I might want to "close," to any further communication based on their photos and/or profiles and the ladies can do the same to me. Some people might get mad and feel rejected, but I think this is great. If you don't think you'll be compatable with someone, you can quickly "close," the match and focus your time on the ones with whom you might share a mutual interest and attraction.

Already I have been communicating with several ladies none of whom I believe are fake profiles set-up by the company.

I can't attest to any success I have yet in actually meeting anyone in person, but that will largely depend on me and my matches. No online dating site can help with that.

Maybe some people need to take a closer look at themselves and not be so quick to blame others for their failures.

I have also had a terrible experience with this service. it is truly a waste of money. They tell you they will match you with people with similar qualities but they just send you anyone in the same age group. I even had a friend who said location was important and they gave her a guy who didnt speak english from belize. consumer affairs should do something about this rip off.

I have tried EHarmony several times over the past 5 years. Usually they give me another discount after I cancel. I have had over 200 matches that never answer. At one point I got to open commnication with a match that had lied about where they lived, and started asking me for money. Another one said he was in New york, and then when we got to open commnication he was in Nigeria. Both times I reported the incident, but it was very disturbing. I am sorry, but I refuse to beleive that I am so ugly that no one wants to talk to me. I am a 50 something yr old, full-figured female, not bad looking, with a great personality. I hear a lot of comments about obese profiles, and I think there is some prejudice aboout that on this site. I don't appreciate that kind of thinking.
Several times I have gotten winks from people, but when I respond they don't answer.
There are a lot of scams on this site, so what makes EHarmony different from the rest of the dating sites? They have the same false profiles as everybody else, and when you report it, all they say is they will remove it. How are these people able to get on the site in the first place.
I will not use it again, as I agree with other comments I have read, that the matches are from canceled members.
I don't need EHarmony to tell me if I am worthy.All EHarmony has ever done for me is to take my money and run.

let's keep this simple. eharmony is a joke and you WILL feel like a fool with a thinner wallet if you waste time or money on them . "scientifically matched".
that is the biggest, baldest face lie you will encounter.
really, don't do it!

I wish I had found this 3 days ago....E-harmony is a rip off.. before I joined I had so many e-mails from e-harmony saying that like 15 ppl were interested and that they had sent me questions, the same thing happened to me, after I joined they "closed" and I haven't gotten any real matches and then they send me matches that are a million miles away. Now I am stuck with it for 3 months. Real Rating : negative 1 million
