Here’s a revealing review from a client of mine and pretty much sums up what I hear from everyone:
I signed up for a three month membership through e-Harmony. I was sent initially several matches. Surprisingly of the ones i was slightly interested in none responded to requests for communication. Of the few that i did make initial contact with it was terribly obvious during our first date that we had no chemistry and our personalities were oil and water!
Here comes the good part. I let my subscription expire…I didn’t cancel it. I still get matches in my email even though my account is not active! Which of course makes me think..hmmm….of all the supposed matches they sent me I wonder just how many did not have an active account????
I made a very nasty phone call to e-Harmony who coughed up a free three month extension. I have gotten total squat for matches. Again the same scenario…no communication, matches that are totally out of line. I am sure that when these three months expire then I will suddenly get a few matches worth looking at in the hopes that I will renew my membership.
I plan to call and ask “What percentage of your members report a successful long term relationship after being matched by your system?” and “What percentage of us report that your service is garbage and a waste of our money”??? I would also like to know if the commercial engagements and marriages are actors or actual matches through e-Harmony?
Regardless…it is sad and unfortunate that e-Harmony is commercializing on the fact of life that we all need and want someone special to love and cherish.
Save your time/money, avoid e-Harmony and stick with top dating sites like Match and Perfect Match.
Hi, I've been a matchmaker for many years and have experience with just about every dating site out there. I have thoroughly reviewed and rated the best
Wish I would have read these prior to me spending $250 for a years subscription to e-harmony. Half have no photos and the other half have no personalities and that’s just from their personality profile. One distaster date in 6 months. Not even long term communication. No one answers.
What a waste of money! Within a month of joining, I was sent a ‘match’ of some guy who turned out to be an extortionist. He wanted me to ‘make a donation’ ($1,450) in his honor to an orphanage in Nigera that he was supporting. I notified EHarmony and all they did was send me a generic email (after I notified them first) warning me that his profile and membership was being terminated for some unknown reason and that any outside the site private contact that I may have with this person is at my own risk and that they are officially issuing this disclaimer absolving themselves of any culpability! All they cared about was covering their own butts! When I called back member services, they said they couldn’t discuss the matter with me any further. Nice, huh?!
Eharmony has been such a disappointment !!!!!!!!!! I haven’t had but a few matches and none in the area I asked for!I feel scammed.
