*DO NOT SIGN UP*
Eharmony is the worst site I have ever spent my time and money on. They dont provide the service they say they do and in their own words, are Not obligated to provide the service you think youre getting. I wish I would have seen even half of the bad reviews Ive found since, before signing up. I could have saved my time and a ton of money. I also found that the company not only has those paid commercials to show you how great they are, but they PAY for good reviews. Most of the positive reviews I found before singing up, were from compensated 3rd party reviewers and not from actual customers. I was giving the site an honest effort to. I sat through the giant questionnaire, took the time to fill out my profile honestly and completely, and was instantly disappointed. You cant search for anyone so youre stuck with whatever the site recommends. However if your matches have absolutely nothing to do with what youre looking for, such is my case, tough luck because there is nothing the company will do about it. Literally, because their exact wording was something like, we do not guarantee our service to work nor are we obligated to ensure a satisfactory experience. So now Im stuck with an inbox full of email notifications of women I have no idea how were chosen for me, with nothing in common with me at all, much less a desire to be romantically involved with and the companys response is an unwavering, Oh well, too bad. Pay us anyway. I cant close the account because of the weird payment plan they have me on and they wont let me change anything to get even close to a desired result. So Im locked into either fighting them in court or paying an entire years dues to cancel after just 1 month.

I signed up for 3 months because it was the least expensive option, but after two weeks realised that there were only about 7 matches in my area. I wrote, asking to switch from the 3 month contract to the 1-month contract (more expensive for the month), as I didn't want to get any more 'matches' from people 200 miles away from me! They have refused and I can't really see why. I said I would pay for the (so far useless) month, but they will NOT negotiate this. That's bad business and I am going to make it MY business to discourage people from signing up with them.

I was on the site twice. Once in 2013 for 11 months and again in 2016 for 10 months.

I received very few direct messages and went about trying to talk to multiple men from the site. I emailed or contacted 100+ matches and received 5 responses over the 10 months.

None of the men that responded were in my general area (200 miles or less) so we did not meet in person. One is an online friend now.

Many of the matches had very little education (less than College), were handsome or very handsome but didn't respond, wrote rude things in their profiles or asked me for sex through the email portion of our conversations.

I wouldn't recommend this to someone else who was looking to date.

Thanks.

I decided to give eharmony a try since my cousin met his wife on the site. HUGE mistake. The men in my area were all divorced and at least ten years older than me. No big deal I though. I'll just call them and cancel my membership. Haha boy was I wrong. They would not cancel my membership. They said the only way to do that was to pay the balance on my contract. Contract? What contract? It's a f&$@!?& dating website! They claimed that the only way to cancel and receive a refund was if I did it thru email. I'm currently in a 7 day waiting period to receive a decision on whether or not I'm eligible for a refund. Wow. Thanks eharmony. If you honestly want to get on a great dating website with quality matches. Try bumble. Or seriously anything but eharmony. They should rename themselves eharmoney. Because that's all they want from you. Also both service representatives I talked to were incredibly rude.

EHarmony commercials claim that they try to match you with compatible people. However, the reality is that they spam you with everyone who is just signing up. I got matched with people who had only answered one question. A typical profile had responses like: "What are you thankful for?" Answer: "Life" "What can you not live without? "Air."

Now, when building my profile, I specifically said that I'm looking for intelligent, well-read, lucid people. But, what I was being matched with were people from all over the country (way out of my preferred area) usually 10 years older than the range I selected (40-50) with profiles that looked like they had been built in 45 seconds at best.

EHarmony is a rip-off. Sure, a couple people might get extraordinarily lucky, but most will pay hundreds of dollars to strike out.

I do not recommend eHarmony. The longer I'm on eHarmony the fewer matches I get. In the beginning, I called eHarmony several times for help to get more matches. Nothing worked. Now, after 3 months I get no new matches. The questions sent back and forth to meet matches is silly. I have met two matches going straight to direct communication. EHarmony is an expensive education. Christian Mingle has been much easier and more successful. I get new matches daily on Christian Mingle and it cost so much less.
