First off. I am a normal, attractive, intelligent person. That said. Eharmony is the place for all losers that have failed at every other site to find a date. I went through the lengthy questions, every page... and when my"matches" came through... I was mortified. I'm not superficial by any means. But oh my! And the ringer is, is that u only get a couple of matches per day. You have to wait till the next day til they pair u up again. Sorry. Too busy for that. I know what I like and don't like. This site wants all control of who they think U should be paired up with... all while u have already paid ur fees. One more thing... I'm so creeped out by the owner on the commercials. Looks like such a perv right?! I swear there has gotta be a hidden clause that he has to be present at the first consummation. Haha. Jk

Hi all
I'd been using this S#@! Ty "dating" site and I'm now pretty relieved that i'm not the only one how think that way apparently... I really am not the kind of guy to do advertising but I have to reckon that I was helped by a company (sos-internet.com) to get rid of not only my subscription but to erase definitlely my account and leave no trace nor data about me!
If you guys know a website to meet new people, I would be glad to hear from 'em;)
Cheers!

Someone finds this website serviceable and it is true. The one thing that embarrasses me a lot is long and boring questionnaires. Why do they make it so complicated? During the other websites make their membership easier eharmony makes we wonder with this questionnaires. Id o not that stupid machine will find ideal person for me. But the best thing for me is that people are real. All in all this website has a good reputation and there is a huge possibility to meet a real person. Please make less questions and more actions.

After five years of trying, off and on, this is my last go arond with EH. I have been matched with hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of single men in my area and met exactly five. That's right, five. Four of whom had no chemistry with, the fifth was done after about a month of dating. I have to wonder if these are actually real people. My only reson for giving two stars is the people I met were serious about finding a partner and and all were employed, homeowners, etc.

You would probably do at least as well meeting people in daily life or in clubs. The much advertised matching is very superficial. Even the information they gather does not seem to be used much. Matches seem mostly based on age and location. People who can find a relationship based on age and location probably would not be on a dating site.

They mostly ask about things like tastes in music and generalities. There is no effective means to select for physical attraction. Important but "touchy" subjects like sex and religion are barely touched upon. Even the criteria they address are evaluated by multiple-choice answers that often don't allow a true reflection of your attitudes, or the importance of the subject to you.

Specifically: They ask your religion, what religions you would be wiling to date and how imprtant religion is to you. There is no evaluation of your actual beliefs, no distinction between the religion you were raised but do not practice, and being a devout believer whose life centers around their faith. Politics is just rated on a spectrum form conservative to liberal, with no details. They only ask one question related to sex -- where you place sex on a range from "a normal part of dating" to "only after marriage."

The site is vehemently G-rated, and uncontroversial. Unless you are looking for someone with whom to sit in a rocking chair by the fire, you will probably be disappointed. This may not be as true for younger people on the site, but you will have to get through a lot of superficial matches before you find out if the person is willing to be candid about deep subjects.

Wow I thought eharmony was a professional company but I guess not. What a complete scam and the worst part is they act like they have religious views and worry about your spirituality with stupid $#*! non stop questions. I cant believe they ask that many questions it takes literally hours to set up a profile. As far as their prices they are basically laughable. Way too expensive its hundreds of dollars for 6 months which is robbery. I think its sad that a company like eharmony is portrayed the way it is on t. V. but then it turns out to be a scam. Ive been making a habit of checking these dating sites out and sadly plentyoffish is STILL THE ONLY LEGIT FREE SITE. Im single but not really looking too hard but ive been really interested in rating all these different dating sites. Its unreal how scandalous and fake all of them are. I was really shocked when eharmony turned out to be a terrible scam. Follow me and my reviews on dating sites and hopefully I can find one besides plentyoffish that people can actually rely on as a legit site. As of now just stick to plentyoffish. Do not give eharmony a dime its useless. ( by the way nothing against plentyoffish its a GREAT dating site, I just cant believe its the only one lol)

I think like most reviewers here, I started on this site because of the "hope" it offered with the kind old man with Ph. D. telling you how his technique works. True, it initially matched me with a few people... NONE of whom I had anything in common with. There were clingy ones, psychotic ones, and mean ones. I would have rather NOT been matched than paired with those that the "tried and true test" selected.

This site is no different from sex sites where you go to hook up with strangers. You give money to them... they provide you with horrible choices... then the cycle continues. I fell for their snake oil too, in hindsight... I should've realized it after being stood up numerous times. Maybe the "tried and true" methods of the old days still work... go out to places you like to go, and maybe you'll run into someone else. Otherwise, there are lowdown places like eHarmony to get your hopes up and dash them down all so they can turn a profit on loneliness. Shame on you eHarmony!

Bottom line it's better than Free sites but doesn't give you what it promises. I a 42 yr old man asked for a girl 28-42 in approx a 200 mile radius from my location. I was getting girls from other provinces and ages younger and older than what I had asked for. You also can't search of your own free will. Everyday they send you about 6-9 people who you need to or don't communicate with. There is however ALWAYS a message under them saying " this one may be just outside of your range, but we thought you might like her." Even when she was exactly what I asked for. Which was few and far between. If you still wanna try it I would wait for a promotion like the one I got. But bare in mind what I said! You also do a 3 hour questionnaire in the beginning. A lot for so little. I will be honest I tried POF too and if I had to make a choice, I would pick POF. Not just because it's Free but because it does actually listen to you! Just remember I warned you! Lol

I'm either the most undesirable guy on Earth, or Eharmony is just a scam.

It's very expensive, you are unable to browse profiles, so you're stuck trudging through the few matches that they give you. The problem is, if the other person isn't a paid member, they are unable to write you back.

Just like the rest of these online dating sites, they have a slick marketing campaign but their product falls so low that it could be considered a borderline scam.

A complete scam, especially if you are over 40. The prospects they would send me were simply dreadful. Fat, miles away, pictures with cars and motorcycles (penis extensions), men who had gone to seed way too early in life, with no writing game, just sad. I told customer service that a fixer upper is a Victorian home in foreclosure, not a potential mate. One cute guy in NYC, and of course he was most likely inundated with mail. My best match lived in Ontario. We corresponded about how much the site sucked... Got half of my $ back, after I wrote some committee a lengthy email sighting 12 reasons why I believed the site is a complete fraud. Don't do it. A waste of time and money. Depressing too.

Their site SUCKS!
I'm expected to pay HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS for months-long memberships?
Why can't I pay a premium for a month-to-month, or even 3 month account?
Why is the minimum 6 months?
What happens if I meet someone? Do I get a refund?

And paying to be able to even see another member's PICTURES?
Why?
Oh, it's to help people maintain their 'privacy'?
THEN WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THEY BE ON A DATING SITE?
I thought this was eHarmony, not "Adulterers.com"!

And the questions...? Oh, God!
EVERY possible response is at some extreme end of the spectrum!
For example: They asked how I'd feel about a date using a coupon.
The 3 possible responses they gave me were:
"Horrified"
"They're smart with money"
And "This is our last date"
What about those of us who wouldn't care one way or the other?
It went on for supposedly 1,200+ questions!
I answered 10, deleted 20, then gave up.

I canceled my account within an hour after signing up.
I refuse to give those scam artists a dime of my money.
CRAPPY SITE! Plain & simple!

EHarmony is a scam. I signed up. I have a MBA, a good job, single, attractive, with no kids, but when I put up my profile looking to meet someone in my same area, I couldn't believe that eHarmony took my money and within a month (even though I signed up for a one month membership) had the nerve to say that I was one of the 1% of the people that they considered unmatchable and wouldn't even introduce me to anyone. Really? What rip off. I joined Match.com and met several nice men of mutual choosing without a computer making the choice for me. Shame on you eHarmony
