I think this review site is a real piece of work. I read about 2 pages of reviews and finally gave up. Such negativity.

The problem with online dating sites isn't the design of the site or customer service or the fact that you pay, the problem is PEOPLE. The very same bitter people posting on this site are all over online dating sites. You get what you put into online dating. I view it as 1) A tool to communicate. 2) A means of creating hopefulness and optimsim 3) An entertainment activity.

I've tried match.com, and plentyoffish.com in addition to eHarmony.com where I am now. Match.com is ghetto, I have no idea why. I agree that there are fake profiles on that site. Plentyoffish.com should be called plentyofidiots.com or plentyofcheapskateunderemployedorunemployedlosers.com. Another great thing is when you see the same women on match.com, POF.com, eHarmony...honestly...talk about picky. The problem there is they dont get that dating (online or otherwise) is about meeting people. Maybe I'm just used to rejection or maybe I just dont take it personally.

As for eHarmony it is the best experience I have had on online dating so far. I like the close ended questions and the fact that they do the matching. I dont have to think about who I contact other than if they catch my interest.

The big thing that irritates me about eHarmony or any other site is that most women, either by choice or unintentially, just dont seem to put the time into really wanting to get to know someone. Sure we all have things to do and commitments like work, family, errands etc, but why can't people take 15 mins a day to answer the next round of questions (to get to open comm) or take a few mins to write and say "I'm still interested, just wanted to let you know I hadnt forgotten you". I've closed matches that have gotten to stage 4 (just before open comm) because they say they "Value communication" yet don't respond for 2 or 3 weeks - NOBODY is that busy they cant spend 15 mins a day to check mail and write a little note!

I have yet to get to open communication with my matches in my time on eHarmony, but it isnt due to my lack of interest or trying. Honestly, the very act of prompt response to a match tells alot about a person and their commitment to a relationship if one develops.

So basically to recap, the problem is people - you get what you put into it and if you have a negative attitude, like so many do on here, thats your problem.
