I signed up for a six month subscription for EHarmony a few years ago, and quickly regretted it. For one thing, many of the profiles they display are people who signed up for a free weekend and never actually join the site, so you're messaging people who likely are not even ever on the site again- or are even fake profiles.
I got "matches" from people who lived six hours away from where I lived, as well as men who were years older than the ones I was interested in meeting. One message was even from a man who wanted me to send him money since he claimed he was in the Middle East in the military-RED FLAG!
I got one message from a man in my area that I thought I might be interested in, but he quickly proved too needy for my taste since he got really mad when I didn't respond to a message immediately. Believe it or not, I also got messages from men who had also previously messaged me on free dating websites! Many of the same men who are on free apps, are also on this one, so why bother with a paid app if you can get messages from the same men that you aren't interested in on a free platform?
I remember someone told me that the paid-for sites were supposed to attract a better quality of people, but believe me, that is not true. Not sure about Match.com, but this site offers romantic hopefuls a whole lot of nothing for a lot of money! I didn't pay a lot of money (thankfully) but I still got a whole lot of nothing out of this site.
As soon as the six months were up, I canceled. I basically had the date marked on my calendar, and was completely prepared for them to give me a hard time about getting my money back. Surprisingly, I wasn't given an issue and my credit card was never charged again.
I met my now-husband on a free dating more than three years ago. We now have an eight month old son, and adopted a dog. I guess if eHarmony had actually come through or offered any good or promising dating candidates, none of that would have even happened. So, thanks after all eHarmony, for sending me back to a free app so I could meet my soulmate!
