| Review: | Too Expensive, Confusing, Overwhelming A former girlfriend of mine married a guy through E Harmony. He's a control freak and she's biding her time (for her son to finish HS) until she divorces the guy. Even the most complex system isn't perfect. My experience: it took forever to answer their questions and then they kicked me out of the system! Said they couldn't do anything for me. One word: NUTS! Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | Happily Married - thanks to eHarmony I was on eHarmony for less than 2 days when matched with the man I eventually married (10 months later). Of course, he was on eHarmony for 1.5 years before that. Yes, there are a lot of dead profiles, which is really, really dumb. Honestly, that's why only a 6/10 from me. Otherwise it was a great experience. I met 3 of the men who I was matched with. I liked all three A LOT, but you can only have one husband. I think I got lots more matches than, say, my husband did, because I was a lot more open. I have a more outgoing personality. Is eHarmony for everyone? Certainly not, but it worked for me. I liked the matching service (29 dimensions test); it delivered highly compatible matches. Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | More like e:Smarmony - Married Singles????!!!!! I am one of the stupid ones who bought into the commercials about finding your lifes partner on e:Harm...but only succeeded in finding married men who had failed at every other smarmy site in my area - so while they invested relatively little to spin a tale - I paid a lot for that privilege. I don't know what the 29 dimensions of compatability are, but one should definitely include sincerity to find a long term relationship. I'd invested for a year and have sadly, met men of low calibre who are looking to defraud women such as myself. Thankfully I'm not stupid enough to fall for ALL the b.s...but would NEVER recommend this site to anyone I cared about EVER. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Major, major ripoff I joined E Harmony for the second time because there was a three month promotional discount going on, and I figured, why not. Well, the majority of the men I was matched with did not have active subscriptions, many had no pictures up even though I could have sworn I asked to be matched with people with pictures. I also asked that my age range of matches be between 34 and 40 (I am 39) and for a two week period they must have sent me like 10 matches that were between the ages of 48 and 50! When I emailed them asking them why this was so, they pointed out that I had indicated that the age of my matches was "not important." I fixed it, so that was okay. I did get rejected by a lot of people with the description of "other" which could mean anything-and some people would just ignore the set of questions that require you to answer in a paragraph form. Never again would I subscribe to this site-even if it were free. At my age it is hard to meet people who are single and looking to settle down, but I think I am going to go with speed dating-I have a much better chance of hitting it off with someone in person.

| Review: | eharmony needs a map i joined eharmony for 1 month. i contacted 1 match and 0 matches contacted me. eharmony obviously does not have enough members. i limited my matches to a radius of 60 miles from home. after a few local matches, eharmony regularly sent me matches from 350+ miles away. no kidding! 1 month was enough for me.

| Review: | Get out of the Fantasy -Be realistic Beware! It’s a business and it’s a numbers game. It is going to function as a business just like any other large business with financial and numbers goals, marketing strategies, subscription terms, and growth concerns. Commercials will target your emotions and vulnerability, customer service will do the same. They will assess your emotional and psychic status to create your potential matches. They will also use this information to market you as well! The WILL manipulate at every opportunity to keep you giving them money. That is just common sense in the business world. Dr. Neil Clark Warren is a personality used for advertisement and marketing strategy. I am estimating that over 50% of my matches were not current subscribers. I invested time, effort, and emotional space into trying to communicate with women that were not there. At least six matches had not been online in over 12 months. That is as many as I was able to confirm. When I asked for option to know who was currently subscribing, E-H responded with, “that is confidential information.” I also asked to have only matches with current subscriptions, E-H responded with , “that is not an account option at this time.” It doesn’t matter if a match/profile is currently subscribing. Most of the matches I received were persons I had no interest in(over 85%). It made me wonder how effective the 29 dimensions of compatibility really are, or at least what dimension they are considering They will not refund money. They will not prorate closing an account. Once they have your money…it’s theirs! If you subscribe for 12 months & want to quit after 6, they will offer to continue running your profile for the remainder. If you don't turn off your profile they will continue using your profile as a potential match. The discounted memberships offered are just that…. discounted memberships. With E-H, you get what you pay for. They will use promises of the love of your life to keep you giving them your money. They will not allow you to search outside of what they deem appropriate matches. This gives them total control over who you get to see as matches. They will selectively deal out matches over time. To fill in space they will use flexible matching to go outside of your preferences and your geographic location. I set distance at 120 miles and selected “not willing to relocate”. I received matches regularly from 300 to 1500 miles away. Flexible matching, you are going to hear that if there aren’t enough matches in your area or to fit your personality type. If you complain about the number of matches or the service, you will see an immediate increase in matches and then it will slow to a trickle again. They will use matches that are no longer subscribing members. They will distribute these to you carefully, to make sure you attentions are occupied. If you join on an open / free weekend, they will keep your profile and use it whether you subscribe or not. They consider you a potential match if they have your profile. My opinion is that the odds can be great for acquiring a suitable match with less than a years subscription. E-H offers no guarantees with exception to taking your money and not returning it. They offer a lot of extras and if you take the time to surf through it all you will come out knowing more about dating, however this can be done by reading books or online for a lot less money. You can get your personality profile, they say its free and you may consider it consolation after getting nowhere with the matches you get. It’s a shame! E-Harmony made all kinds of promises of love, lead me on with deceptive practices, and took my money. Well I guess some would call that a bad relationship! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Class Action Lawsuit anyone? What a waste! I had matches from all across the country. Some of them duplicates in different cities! (Smells like a scam!) After six weeks of complaining (starting on day 4 of my membership) and threatening to go to my attorney general, they finally closed my account. How much was I out? Almost $120 with no real matches! I could have spent $20 a week on a dinner out. Keep your money and stay off of this site!!!! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | What a Rip Off Every time I called Eharmony to complain, they just extended my membership another few months. What a rip off!! I sent my first set of "Intro Questions" to over 125 men - with ONLY TWO responding. I'm a better than average looking physical therapist and, now, I really doubt that Eharmony's website even works. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT THIS WEBSITE WORKS. I've gotten droves of replies from my Match.com profile. SAVE YOUR MONEY - STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM EHARMONY!!!!! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Bait? The customer service was very lame. Further, a customer satisfaction survey was so poorly written that it made me wonder if there was only one Oz behind the curtain and he/she was flying solo as THE eharmony employee. A question to customer service typically netted a canned responses full of assurances. I was matched often to men booted out of the eharmony club. The information given was slim, so I knew little about the matches. MOST IMPORTANT, I started to suspect that the whole game was to get a user to keep renewing by any means possible. Matching me to those with expired memberships? Probably matching men with me, after my membership had expired. Both of us getting emails about a match "contacting" the other? I also wondered if they got real busy finding matches as the membership was about to expire. I suspected that they did lots of baiting to generate renewed interest and more money. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | eHarmony is not worth the bandwidth I signed up and I was matched with women I would never consider if I met them in person first. You can't set your search- the 6 "Phd's" do that for you. I never post reviews but I made an exception for eharmony. They should be embarrassed to charge more than 5 dollars/ month for what they offer. Try a site that suits your lifestyle that is the most promising. Never join eharmony. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | OK for long distance relationships I took the time to complete the questions, upload the pics and plunk down more money than the rest of the sites in hopes that this would be the place. NOT! I don't want a long distance relationship and every one of my matches wasn't even in my area code. One was over 300 miles away. No, I don't live in Alaska, but in NJ. The matches were further away in the beginning, then got closer as time went on. Why didn't I get the closer ones first? Then they send you 6 hits a day, so many that you can't possibly keep up. But when you look closely, most don't meet what you were looking for. Although most seemed like decent ladies of course there were the pompous ones with glamour shots who thought Mr. GQ was gonna be there. No different than any of the other sites I guess. I'm done with the online dating. I get more dates in the grocery store than I do on the computer. I really can't see how this site says it's so sucessful, cause I know others who were disappointed with it too. Match.com is better. At least there you can make the choices about who to contact.

| Review: | Better for men than women I'll admit that my profile was very accurate as to who I am. But I quickly found out that women my age hardly get any matches at all. The guys, OTOH, told me they were so swamped with matches that they couldn't possibly respond to many. A frustrating feature is that most likely most of your matches have probably never actually paid to join the site and thus can't even respond to you. When you don't get any "real" matches, you're stuck as there's nothing you can do to change the criteria. IF, after reading all these reviews you still want to give it a try, then first take the profile and wait. They will send you a deal of joining 3 months for the price of one. I'm glad that's all the time and money I wasted. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Stay away from eHarmony What a total waste of time and money! I was on eHarmony for 6 months. Although I got matched up with over 400 men, I didn't get to go on a single date. Most of them don't respond or are so far away from where you live. The guys I did talk to were extremely passive and almost couldn't be bothered. It was depressing. I've been successful with other sites but the eHarmony commercials are so convincing I thought I'd give it a try. I wish I had done more research on them first. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Neil Clark should be eShamed Worthless, don't even bother, matches you get will be miles and miles away (hey, it's not ePen-Pals.com) people who signed up to take the questionaire but had no interest in joining, people who don't complete their questionaires. I may have talked to about 3 normal men out of 250. so don't think the quality is any better than other sites just b/c the ads on TV say they are so much better than online "meat markets" Constantly put on hold or closed out for retard reasons that don't make sense (like that one about the chemistry, and you only see a pic, come on)Money wasted, no dates, I'm not a total loser. Just go out and do the normal stuff in life, it's more enjoyable and a lot cheaper. Good luck everyone. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | It's a Sick, Sick World Geeeez, The opener pics are sometimes encouraging but after contact the info comes that the teaser pic is 3 years old. Then the follow-up pics are older. eHarmony is is a place where people can be who they wanna be. None will meet and I have 4 months left and I'm history. I've met some really super bipolars just by reading theri mail. They'll burn that eMail up but forget about answering basic questions. It's really looking for gold in a junkyard. This guy who gets girls all the time said he goes to the mall and says "hello" to every female that passes. EVERY female. He says that about 1 in 50 will stop and talk and the outcome is a date or a shot at one. I'm going that route ASAP. Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | EHarmony is Not for People of Color-Any Color Joined twice.... No real matches even though profile was pretty accurate. Ignore the great commercials and the happy couples(I fell for it the 2nd time)... I think EHarmony is an expensive and misleading set-up. Someone in their ads department probably got a big fat raise for tricking the hearts of the all the lonely people out here. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Don't Waste Your Money This site is insanely expensive even though my "psych profile" was a perfect match to who I am. For that alone, it is worth filling out the questions JUST so you can print out your own personality profile. Don't bother with the site. Few matches will respond [already "involved" and the site keeps their profiles], and there will be only few in your area and again..it is WAY too expensive. Do your profile for free and then keep your money in your wallet. Internet dating, IMO, is for the birds. You can never judge someone by a photo anyhow! Comments [ 0 ] |
