Reviews of eHarmony

Horrible. The "matching" appears random. The profiles are so canned as to make it nearly impossible to get a flavor of the person. It is an annoying experience. Match is far far far far far better.

Don't waste your time or money.

I would give less than a star but thats the lowest one available. I never had tried this web site, but many friends suggested it. It is rather difficult to date when you reach a certain age, plus I don't live in a thriving metropolis! Anyway, I checked out the site, it seemed interesting at first. The problem I have with it is that when I searched for matches, I never got any. I changed my profile, my area, almost everything until i just searched the entire country and it still said "we can not find any matches for you at this time" WHAT! I know in the entire United States their has to be 1 man out there that matches me!! Come on!! Then the few matches they sent me were as far as Alaska, and some much older than me (older than what I wanted in my profile) What's up with that? The bottom line is that I paid the money and realized too late its a rip off. It is very different than other internet sites I have been on. But I guess that's my lesson learned. I had to check it out and now I know to tell everybody EHARMONY is a rip off!

EHarmony should be reported to Consumer Protection for fraud. Here is just one indicator of the site scam they perpetuate called 'Free Weekend." The ad promised free communication, no strings from Thursday to Monday. So I thought I would take a chance. First you have no access to pictures, searches or direct e-mail to a possible match. When you contact a possible match you have to go through the guided discussion which is a cumbersome canned Q&A process. The only way you can directly e-mail a match is AFTER you go through the canned guided discussion. You respond/he responds etc..ect..etc..This normally takes 3-4 days then time runs out and you have to pay to be able to directly e-mail. That is their hook. There are plenty of strings attached to this free weekend. I realize this is a promotional campaign but if they operated legitimately and really gave perspective clients free access a lot more people would sign up. So this is an indication of how they do business. Avoid EHarmony like the internet snake oil salemen they are.

EHarmony will send you a dozen matches right before a free weekend, then when you correspond with any of these matches, you don't get a response until after the free weekend is over. Three days later, all of a sudden all the responses to my communications appear and I'm not a member. What a scam. Even when I've been a member of EHarmony it sucked. It's a terrible dating site.

ya know...it is what you make of it...I see so many reviews on here about how eharmony is a scam. Matches were sent that were not what you asked for etc... well I have news for you. The world is not perfect, and neither are people. Those of you that have problems with bad matches being sent to you, might need to tweak your profile dimensions. I was getting out of towners, and decided to change my settings to within a certain mile radius. STOP COMPLAINING....they are not magicians, they are matchmakers, and it's up to you to look at a person inside and out before making judgements....and as far as the person who said they were not able to cancel, well you can cancel at any time, get a full refund within 3 days of signing up, after 3 days you have committed. It might be a good idea to read the info before committing. Stop blaming others for the fact that you are still single. At the end of the day, it's not eharmonys fault. If you were having success in real life, you wouldn't have a need to go on their site and look now would you. We all should feel privaledged that there is a service like this out there. 3% of all US marriages are a result of Eharmony, statistics don't lie. stop blaming and start doing something. Eharmony is a lot better than match(hookup).com. Maybe some of you are not open to really getting to know someone outside of what you see in a picture. Pictures are not always the bible of what a person looks like. Take the good with the bad...Look at it this way, at least your meeting and talking to a lot more single men or women then you would be on your own....give it a shot, it's like the lottery, if you don't play, you won't win.

I think e-harmony is lame. Also they are prejudice against younger men with older women. But it is ok the other way around. A lot of the older men look delapatated and some have pix ten years old. I think a lot of them are not even members. So if you do a request to communicate, you never get an asnwer.
I think it is a waste of money. ZERO stars would be my vote.

I met my wife on eHarmony.

The 'homework' before posting helped shape my thoughts, philosophy and goals. That is a good thing.

I may have met 20+ women in the six months I was actively participating with eHarmony.

My wife was not my first high percentage match but she was/is the best fit for me and I for her!

I did not have any bad experiences on eHarmony, just some unexciting ones. I did not find each and every match sent to me to be appropriate.

We would encourage others to use eHarmony.

Answer to some questions. They have a moral opinion that women should not be with younger men more than a few years. I can't remember the exact number. That is why they don't give you matches much younger if you are a woman and mostly give you older ones. Yikes! That is not good if you are a very vibrant 55 some year old and the men are just tooooo old mostly in the 60's and onward. So that is why you get old matches. Men they have a whole different standard for. How do I know? I asked them and complained.

This was awhile ago. Good luck..

eHarmony doesn't deserve ANY stars. The only reason there's a star here is because this site won't let you post anything without a star. This is the biggest rip off of the big dating/match rip off websites I've ever visited. They never find any matches for me, day after day. When I went in to find out how to cancel and followed the instructions, there was no cancel my subscription button to click on anywhere in any of the pages. It's just a big rip off and there's no email to write to nor any address. They're just sitting back collecting your money. DON'T EVER SUBSCRIBE TO THIS. You'll get NOTHING for your money. And you can never cancel it.

If you want to make sure your out-of-state match is who they say they are before you spend all the $ to travel there, I would suggest checking out this company- they actually send a person to meet with your match, make sure their ID matches, take a current photo, then you receive a report completed with the current pictures for you. I copied the following from their website at www.wegolook.com

WeGoLook is an online service that provides visual confirmation and a personalized report, completed by a real person, to verify a product, person, place or thing. WeGoLook customers are better informed, avoid costly surprises, plus benefit from unbiased confirmation without having to travel.

WeGoLook will go look at autos, boats, cycles, homes, vacation rentals, eBay items, Craig's list items, Granny's grave, etc... they even go meet with your out-of-state online date to verify their ID and take a current photo before you spend all the money to go meet them in person. Oh and they even arrange transportation for your auto,boat,cycle and will deliver your eBay item to the shipper so the seller can't switch the item around. They are awesome
