eHarmony

A complete scam, especially if you are over 40. The prospects they would send me were simply dreadful. Fat, miles away, pictures with cars and motorcycles (penis extensions), men who had gone to seed way too early in life, with no writing game, just sad. I told customer service that a fixer upper is a Victorian home in foreclosure, not a potential mate. One cute guy in NYC, and of course he was most likely inundated with mail. My best match lived in Ontario. We corresponded about how much the site sucked... Got half of my $ back, after I wrote some committee a lengthy email sighting 12 reasons why I believed the site is a complete fraud. Don't do it. A waste of time and money. Depressing too.

So I made complaints and as mentioned got hung up on twice, I believe they abort calls after 10 mins so say what you have to say in that time period if you call. They sent me more matches since my complaint, a bit more local but still after almost 5 months I have not met a soul. The two times I actually had correspondence with someone suddenly the guy disappears from their site and I am given an email warning that he was removed for protection purposes. So eharmony is either full of fraudsters or they are using phoney profiles and having staff correspond with members just to keep them appeased. When the time comes to meet suddenly the member disappears. It is a phony waste. I think originally when it started it was a legit company, but greed and success got in the way and now it is a money grab with no interest in making clients matched or happy. Don't join.

I wish I had read the reviews before I signed up for this service. The "matches" I've been sent don't coincide with my preferences--at all. The few men who have contacted me are not people I would ever consider dating, primarily because of our very different socioeconomic circumstances and education levels. I have two master's degrees. I'd have little in common with a retired house painter. They all, without exception, very obviously lied about their respective ages, as well. "I'm 59." (No--you're much closer to 70. Your liver spots, bad toupee, and oversized false teeth give you away.) Oh--and beware of the Nigerian scammers, who will, at some point, come calling.

I joined at a very expensive price for 6 months as a man seeking another man. Right away, I started getting women included in my matches, and when I contacted customer service, they said it wasn't their problem--that those women must have inputted their profiles wrongly. Really? So many made the mistake? They also advertise a video date feature, but when I tried to use it, the person on the other end could not see or hear me. And there is no online help. You send a message into the ether and then someone gets back to you eventually--with little help. Many of the profiles that come up in matches are either fake or set up by someone who did not pay anything for them because they include no photos and strange profile info. In short, run away from this scam program! A complete waste of money.

I am 71 years old and met my wife when I was 65. It took almost two years to find each other but worth the effort. We're a perfect match and we've never been happier. While I would agree that some of my matches left me wondering what criteria were used; all of these sites rely on user honesty. I'm sure that lack of self esteem and loneliness can contribute to misrepresentation. Regardless of site, be patient; the person who is looking for you may be tomorrow's match. Suggestion: If possible, expand your geographic range. What might seem impossible in theory may become very possible for the right person; I'm from Maryland and my wife was from Ohio. Update: sixth anniversary; never been happier

I created my account with this so called dating site and haven't gotten any actual respond from again so called "matches" during a month. Subscription for 3 months is 108$. After I reported my claim, they stupidly arranged couple sms on my cell, where robot sent me some stupid messages. No money back at all... I have some definitions for this "resource", but have to keep them out of here in order my feedback not to be cancelled... NEVER GO!

I have not liked eharmony AT ALL. I'm really disappointed in the site. You only get maybe 2 or 3 matches they choose at a time. Once in a while more, but you cannot go on and scroll through looking at different profiles yourself. The matches they send are sent because of our personality scores match but come on... they are men (looks wise), I would NEVER date. Way over weight, look like bums and don't seem to have a lot going for them. I mean chemistry HAS to matter to even want to meet someone right? Not here. I would never sign up to use this sight again. Don't waste your money... I promise, you'll be disappointed. Their website makes it sound like it's the greatest site to meet someone who is serious about finding their soulmate, but it's not at all like they make it sound. SAVE YOUR MONEY, sorry to disappoint but not worth it

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 signed up using an email promotion for 60% off. But the site then defaulted to 50% saying the original offer had expired even though it hadn't. When I complained that July 16 is always. Before July 17, customer refused to help. Consumer fraud IMHO

I think like most reviewers here, I started on this site because of the "hope" it offered with the kind old man with Ph. D. telling you how his technique works. True, it initially matched me with a few people... NONE of whom I had anything in common with. There were clingy ones, psychotic ones, and mean ones. I would have rather NOT been matched than paired with those that the "tried and true test" selected.

This site is no different from sex sites where you go to hook up with strangers. You give money to them... they provide you with horrible choices... then the cycle continues. I fell for their snake oil too, in hindsight... I should've realized it after being stood up numerous times. Maybe the "tried and true" methods of the old days still work... go out to places you like to go, and maybe you'll run into someone else. Otherwise, there are lowdown places like eHarmony to get your hopes up and dash them down all so they can turn a profit on loneliness. Shame on you eHarmony!
