Reviews of eHarmony

Did all I can do for free, but passing on membership since I do not want my $ going to a right wing conservative group. The site was forced by the courts to allow same-sex couples to find matches. The founder is an evangelical Christian and associated with Dobson's Focus on the Family. Seriously, do not want my $ going there.

While eHarmony; better known as email us all your money, did provide a correct testing form (I suppose there is a better way to put that) I simply could NOT believe who or what they selected as a Best Match for me.

Example: I am a hi-tech global/corporate founder, COB, CEO, Pres. Inventor and VC Guy and all eHarmony could find was min. wage store clerks, non-profit workers or 7/11 mgrs., while just one of my motorcycles cost more the one or two years salary for most of these people ~ That Was Not Happening!

I don't get true matches they don't match my profile at all. They don't respond or are to old or too....
E H is just like match and all the others dating companies making promises they can't keep. Don't waste your time and money.

DO NOT, I repeat, do not waste your money on eHarmony.
They woo you into believing their site works and that they have numerous subscribers in their database by sending you multiple matches every day during the first 2-3 weeks of membership. BUT as soon as you subscribe to the service and pay your money, they have already exhausted matches who exist in their database so there aren't any more matches to send to you. You wait days, even more than a week, before you receive a new match. Of course, when you receive a match, there is no photo and more likely than not, the match is not even a subscriber, hence there will be no communication. All of your efforts are wasted.

Why should anybody pay money to be matched to people who are not subscribers?
Why should anybody pay money for a service that cannot provide matches based on reasonable matching settings?
Why should anybody pay money for a dating service that does not work.

If you want to spend your hard earned money on a site that works, go to match.com. It's fun, you can search their database and it is much more interactive. Yes, you can still end up meeting someone who is not a good match for you BUT at least you get to have a meeting.

And, no I am not an employee of match.com. I am a satisfied subscriber to match.com.

I hope this helps.

I tried in vein to find how much I have to pay before I answer hundreds of questions.
It's on purpose impossible until you invest your energy in filling all that, and then, every sales person knows that, you're easily persuaded to pay.
I HATE TO BE TREATED AS A FOOL.
I managed to find the link to contact their customer service, and wrote that I'd like to know the prices in advance. Guess what was their answer...

Maybe it's a good service, maybe not, one thing is for sure I'll go to a place that respects me as a thinking person (and I must admit - there are not too many like that :) ).

Forgot to mention: do you get matches without responses? It happened to me at match.com - your matches are people that filled a profile but never paid for the service, or are not using this site for years, yet the site keeps their profiles as if they are active members to attract you to pay.

I used match.com for one month (the same scam as in eHarmony) only to find out that I'm communicating with ghost profiles. I have added to my profile that I'm not really there.

What can I do? plenty of fish is extremely shallow yet it's better that all of these sites that treat you like shit.

I came to this website after googling "eharmony reviews" , just because I, too, have been rather frustrated in my search for a Tolerable Woman of Similar Morals. I've already been using eHarmony off and on for years now, and seeing as how I'm still single, I can't say that it's worked for me.. I came here because misery loves company. I was curious to see if anyone else has the same experience that I had.
I can't say that I've been through poor customer service.. they've never messed up my billing or refused responsibility for anything that went wrong, so on that end I can say it's fine. But I think the main problem with eHarmony is the same problem with dating services adn quite possible dating in general. We all have these expectations and goals we set for ourselves, and we're always disappointed in humanity when people don't live up to our expectations. So, it's easier to target our frustration out a company like eHarmony, but I don't think it's quite fair.
When I first got on, I went on a couple of dates.. always first dates and it was always the women making that choice. Then, I finally met someone that I wanted to be serious with, and we went out for a year, then she turned out to be a lesbian. At that point, I could never take the accuracy of the personality tests on eHarmony that seriously. But, I still went back. You know why? It's NOT SCIENCE. I don't remember reading anywhere that I'm guaranteed a girlfriend if I use eHarmony. After going back, generally, I get about 8 matches a day, 5 of them seem like somebody I'd like so I hit them up, and I get a response on the average of one per month. That's about 1 out of 224 matches. And that one match can't actually speak English that well. I still go back, because, even though it's not science, I figure on the laws of probability.. there are like twenty billion women in the world and only one right for me, so chances are they aren't on eHarmony, but I figure I should at least try. It's my fault if I can't judge someone's character or I can't make it work or if I can't display enough confidence to attract a woman. There is the crazy factor, yes, but that's the same as you meet a crazy person in a bar. Do you blame that bar? I say, eHarmony is no better or worse than any other acceptable method of finding a relationship. 3 Stars for just being another option.

!!!EHARMONY IS A SCAM!!! Like many members compliments. This site really sucks. I am a well educated engineer, good looking and have a good job and making great income. For one month, there is not even one man contacted me. I can only give 0 rating, horrible!!! Just another disgusted dating web site that gobbled up by money hungry people in cyber space.

Don’t let them auto-renew your subscription to scam you again…, go to “My Setting -> Account Setting -> Cancel Account -> …” to terminate your account. Save your cancellation paper and snapshots just in case, they may illegally charge you again, the other site did that to me, I then, shown them the paper, then, they finally had to stop!!! Shame on all of them!!!

Sincerely,

This is their response to me regarding a request to remove my debit card information on a suspended account. It's to me like a gas station keeping you credit card number forever and "Oh we put it in the safe, you can trust us" They are always about the money, and advertising thereafter. Trust yourself if you think it sounds bad. Lets consider the fact that they want XX dollars, no less than double digit, for a computer system to regurgitate "results" at you which nothing is ever deleted. EVER. "we are not responsible for our subscribers, just their credit card numbers" . Not impressed myself, but make your own decision.
