Reviews of eHarmony

It gets a rating of 1 star only because 0 is not an option. I received few matches and of those, after six months, only two within the radius I had designated.

They auto-renewed my account and the moment I got the email notice of the renewal, I "unsubscribed," only to be informed I could not do that because I had not done it prior to the auto-renewal date: "...all eHarmony paid subscriptions are set to automatically renew 24 hours prior to the end of each subscription. This ensures continuous communication with your matches and provides you with our discounted renewal rates. The auto-renewal feature is clarified during the subscription purchase and can be turned on and off from within your account at any time."

CAVEAT EMPTOR! The specifics of their auto-renewal option are NOT STRESSED at the outset. They are fairly well buried in the innumerable tasks they ask you to take care of during the initial subscription phase.

The practice of auto-renewing before giving notice that the renewal is about to occur is nothing but a devious marketing technique designed to bilk consumers out of an additional six months' fee.

eHarmony is a big lie!
29 key detention test is simply their way to fool people, nothing else!
They don't match people like they say. Actually they don't bother to match at all. For example I don' think that a man who is very much in sports and looking for a slim woman to share sports activities with is a good match to an overweight woman who is not in sports and prefer a quiet time at home. According to eHarmony - IT IS A MATCH! I had to pay a lot of money for "matches" like that. I would never recommend eHarmony to my friends or anybody else!!!

I joined for eHarmony for 6 months. Since I live in the 3rd largest city in the U.S. I figured I would take a chance. I have 2 children so I set the radius at 30 miles...which covers a huge part of Houston. I was matched with over 350 men. I read every profile multiple times before I closed the match. Most of the men I sent "Ice Breakers" to never responded. For every match that was closed, I sent a last message of "Good luck with your search", but never received one back...apparently there are a lot of rude, spiteful and selfish men on eHarmony. Out of the 6 I communicated with, I met with 1. Which seems to be going no where, even though I though we were having a good time. When 1 found out I had kids, that was that...I stated that in my profile, why were we even mached? A few just stopped communicating and didn't even bother to close the match, so after 2 weeks I closed it myself. When my membership was 5 months old I decided to find out about renewing my membership. I thought 350 matches in a city of 7 million was pretty good. I also remembered the advertising at the time I signed up said that "if you don't find someone special in 6 months, we will give you 6 months for free". So I figured I would take advantage of that. I contacted customer service and they "reviewed" my "settings" and told me I would have better results if I expanded my distance setting to 300 miles. This was laughable, but I did it anyway. Remember, I have 2 kids I actually need to take care of and spend time with. I set it to 120 miles. Every match from that change said I was too far away...DUH. EHarmony extended my membership for 1 month...liars. My membership expired 1 week ago and they are still sending me matches. If I log into my account I will be billed for another 6 months. But I also can't contact them to stop sending me matches without logging in. Either way, I am going to get charged. Before my membership ended I changed my "Passionate about" info to state that I was no longer on the site. So I hope other members will see what they are actually getting. I am more disappointed in the company than the men I was matched with. I would strongly recommend that you think twice about this company, they were deceptive and are difficult to contact.

I joined eharmony 3 months ago.During the 1st 3 mo.,I recieved 75-100 so-called matches.To my dismay,50% of those were probably 35-50 pounds overweight,another 20% had poor grammer,others listed their occupation as retired(ages 48-55)and many others were looking for a mate who was 1)financially stable2)could make her laugh3)would give her space to grow4)be acceptable to her family5)other traits necessary.Many matches never responded to communication.

Please note that eharmony DOES NOT provide any area or site on any of its MANY tabs for customer response.I have tried on many occasions to contact them regarding their matches..to no avail.Evidently,the main concern is SALES not problem resolving

I am currently in my second,three month period.Their program and process has been USELESS.

I WOULD NOT recommend this business.Save your money..join a local club,group,etc..Your results will be better and you'll save money.

Women that do post pictures do so from 5 to 10 years ago. When you actually meet them, they look nothing like what they have posted. There is no quality control, nor any attempt by the compeney to push the process forward. Thus, you will have matches up to 6 months old, unless you snuff them earlier. You can't do a global delete of all your failed mathces, so you will see these (e.g., 545) everytime you log on. I haven't been turned down this many times at bars. You will be matched with women completely incompatible with you or so far away that it is unrealistic. This is, of course, to make a quota. Spend your money at an athletic club or bar. The process is a joke, especially if you are over 30 and live in a rural area.

DO NOT GO TO EHARMONY THEY ARE COMPLETE SCAM ARTISTS. I PAID 135.00 FOR 3 MONTH MEMBERSHIP. THEY TOOK MY MONEY INSTANTLY ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED MY MARITAL STATUS I SAID SEPARATED. I TRIED TO LOG INTO MY PAID ACCOUNT AND COULD NOT GET IN BECAUSE I AM NOT DIVORCED. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME A REFUND COULD NOT GET TO ANY MANAGEMENT. FRAUD,, DECEPT, SCAM ARTISTS. DO NOT USE THIS FAKE 'CHRISITIAN' COMPANY. DISGUSTING!!!!! GOOD LUCK FINDING A HUMAN THAT CARES AT THERE OFFICE AND THEY HUNG UP ON ME.

One star is too many. I've spent years in the marketing industry and was fascinated by the algorithms that might make this work. What fails the most is that it doesn't allow for creative thinkers. And oddly enough, although a sense of humor was the most important quality to me, NONE of my "matches" remotely had one..so much for accurate algorithms. And it tales weeks before ya get yo the talking stage...a simple contact site could have put me conversing sooner and with the same (or better) results. I found eHormony a mess!

Would of given 0 stars , agree very much with some of the more recent reviews. That you get many so-called matches when you join , then as you get closer to end of or close to experation ,you get none, 90% of matches nothing in common , a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, I would leave my personal e mail to verify but dont think it would allowed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY with these thieves, nothing but false ads. I have previously paid for a 3 month time period so I know of what I write. Just being upfront and honest

This sight is a waste of money spent. You start getting fewer and fewer matches as your expiration date approaches, not just my experience. Women loads of profiles are outdated , hide their pics and when you get to see it its someone most likely you would not want to meet. i.e. seriously overweight. Dont waste your time or money , just an honest opinion from a 3 month period.

Eharmony has to be the worst dating site I have ever come across. A few friends and I have been on Eharmony for the past 3 months and we won't be renewing. It was a complete waste of time. The matches were nothing like the type of person we were looking for. I thought maybe it was just the way I answered the questions, but my friends answered theirs differently and we kept getting some of the same matches. Their matching is a joke and they even send you "flexible" matches who are even further from the type of match you would like to receive.

The site is also way too expensive for the service you get. I did receive a lot of matches in the beginning, but after the first 2 or 3 weeks, I would receive maybe 3 matches every 7 - 10 days. At this point I haven't received any matches in a couple of weeks and my subscription expires in a week, so I don't anticipate meeting anyone compatible with me through this site. In total, I spoke on the phone with three matches and actually went out with one. This is similar to the experiences my friends have had as well.

I would definitely not recommend this site to anyone who has a busy life and doesn't have time to go through the lengthy guided communication to finally end up no further ahead than you were when you started. Save your money and try one of the free sites.
