Review: A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
This site is a complete waste of time and money, the matches live miles away, many matches are not subscribing members, i have not had one date and have only had the briefest communication and then you are just 'waiting for response' that never comes. I have cancelled membership and kept copy of cancellation agreement, just in case. Do not join this site you will be disappointed and furious that you have wasted money.

Review: Fellows, Think Twice
More than ninety (90) percent of the matches they sent me remained in the introductory stage meaning they never viewed my profile. eHarmony does not post a last login date, what does that tell you? After spending a considerable amount of money for their subscription one can expect a vendor ad on every page. Yes, you pay good money to view ads. eHarmony has a nominal word count and in most cases one is unable to express what you want to relay. As for the amount of matches, I received very few and what did appear, well many had fake first names or no picture posted. I signed up for a year and asked eHarmony for a prorated refund which was quickly denied. In summation, eHarmony is over priced and over rated. As a minimum stick with a dating site that does not promote fraud, meaning posts a last log-in date and allows you to write what you are looking for by not having a nominal word count. If you are a heterosexual male seeking a woman, one would do well avoiding this site.

Review: eMoney Machine
I've got to hand it to that Dr. that started eHarmony. He saw a money making machine and plenty of people proved him right.

I've been using online dating web sites since match.com first came on the scene. I decided to give eHarmony a try and after spending a flippin hour completing the personality profile, I finally started to get matches.

So eHarmony's claim is that they will send you matches every day. However, what that don't tell you is:

1. Many of the matches are inactive profiles.
2. Many of the matches are non-paying customers.

So you basically get an inbox full of crap leads.

Stupidly, I signed up for a six month subscription, thinking that this was going to be the best thing since sliced bread. Be warned. There is NO REFUND AFTER THREE DAYS.

The quality of singles was good. Mostly professionals.

They do not tell you when the person's last activity date was. Obviously because you would see that you were getting crap leads. And if they took those people out of your match mix, you would hardly get any thus their claim would be invalid.

The compatibility test is a joke. Just because you match on paper, doesn't mean you will in person. You won't be physically attracted to somebody just because you both like cats and have road rage.

Save your money and use a site where you can choose your own matches and tell if they are active or not.

Review: eHarmony is a joke!
I had been single for about 6 months and decided to check out eHarmony after seeing all their TV ads. After finally filling out my profile I started getting matches within a few days. However, roughly 99% of these matches weren't paying members so I couldn't even communicate with them. The 1% who were paying members usually turned out to be people that I had no real interest in being with. When my 3 month subscription was nearing its expiration I decided to cancel my account and had to navigate the maze of their website to be able to do this. Thankfully they didn't continue to bill my credit card, as they have done that to other people.

Review: Help me get out of this!
I received lots of "matches" immediately, but most were not members, so I could not communicate with them. Then the matches dwindled. The worst problem is their auto-renewal policy for your subscription. It is very complicated turning off this option. I supposedly cancelled my subscription, but it renewed, anyway, and I'm stuck with paying for another month. The charges just automatically go on your credit card or PayPal.
