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
I think eharmony is too complicated for simple person like me. I also don’t see any chemsitry with the matchs that the sent by email. I am seriously looking for long term relationship and possibly marriage. I tried another website like PerfectMatch.com and SincereHeart.com , this one is free, which I think suit with me.
I am a kind of family oriented person, I want to get marry and to have my own family. I hope I meet my dream person very soon. I can’t stand living alone and lonely. I need spouse.
Fraudulent charges being made on my AMEX card by Eharmony. My introductory membership expired. I haven’t been online in months. I’m also still getting matches without even being active. And this month I checked my credit card and there were charges made by EHarmony for Misc personal charges. I paid a one time membership fee last January, this is July. Again, a similar complaint. I can’t log in and can’t find any kind of contact information. I am pissed. Thanks for the phone number.
I agree with all the reviews depicting Eharmony as something other than ideal! I have used it on and off for a while, always become inundated with matches as I am due to ‘expire’. The only person I have ever met via Eharm, after a lot of communicating, was bizarre to say the least. Took me to dinner and when I replied to a question to an elderly man, kicked a chair across the room!
The premise that via the questionaire you are matched with compatible people is totally wrong.
I am constantly matched with people whose values and interests are so alien that it is laughable. In fact having a good laugh at their ludicrous “matches’ is almost worth the subscription.
