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 joined about thre weeks ago and within the first few matches that were sent, was disgusted. The one guy weighed about 300 lbs and had a shaved head, a million tattoos and a tank top………sorry, NOT my type. The next one was a football fan that had half of his face painted black, the other half yellow. What a way to fend off potential suitors!!! The company would not cancel my membership because they said it was more than 7 days. I also get matches over 300 miles away when I specified not more than 30 miles. What a joke!!!!
I gave eharmony 4 months.. During that time, they produced 59 matches.. I sent approximately 20 women the first questions and of the three that did respond, two made it to open communication, and one made it to the third stage of communication.. Of the three women who did respond, none were even close to being compatible with me.. Dr. Warren, Sir.. In my humble opinion, your 29 dimentions of compatibility are terribly flawed.. Two thumbs down…
Insane prices for only one or two “matches” per month. High entry costs prevent the service from being available to a high number of people, so I am finding that most of my matches absolutely never respond (most likely because they can’t afford to). This is a truly broken model if paying customers can’t get any results because there are too many non-paying customers that can’t communicate. Complete waste of time - I think I’d get better results just asking every woman I meet on the street for a date.
