Here's a little experiment... I read all the ads and all the reviews (good and bad) about eHarmony and decided to try a little test. I joined using a yahoo email address. I filled out the ENDLESS questionnaire, printing each page before moving on to the next. When I was finished and was asked which credit card I would like to use, I declined. I signed out, went back to eH and signed up all over again, this time using a hotmail email address. I filled out the questionnaire EXACTLY as I had done using the yahoo address. This time I paid for a membership. And I waited. Here's what happened... The 'free' profile had several hits, none of which I was able to communicate with. When I clicked on them I was asked for a credit card. The paid profile generated ONE hit. ONE. And it wasn't any of the four that the 'free' profile had generated. In fact, this person lived 749 miles away, not meeting with my request on my profile. I kept checking and checking the 'paid' profile but no other matches were to be found. I wrote to eH and asked for my money back. They said they had fulfilled their obligation and had matched me and that their guarantee only applies if they are unable to match you with anyone. Lo and behold, just six days before my 'paid' membership expired I logged in and found a message saying that they were unable to find any matches for me at this time and that they didn't think their site could be of benefit to me. So no matches on the 'paid' profile, mo money back and the boot. And the 'free' profile? To date (after 6 months) 23 hits. These two profiles used the SAME EXACT INFORMATION. eHarmony are liars and theives. Save your time and money. Go to plentyoffish or any of the other free dating sites.
