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
e-harmony lets you see your matches before you sign up. I had great matches and all with in 20 miles from me! Of course none of them responded after I signed up. I complained a couple of times about the type of matches I was receiving and the matches slowed down. I notified them that I would not be renewing. The last 3 weeks I received a flurry of matches. There are about 12 questions matches are to answer, about 80% answered only 5 questions. The answers were all similar and I began to wonder if these matches were real or if they were e-harmony employees. I am not saying they were, I’m just wondering.
I just received an ad from eharmony in my email and was paging through to see if anyone else had ever been unhappy with their “services”, if that’s what you can even call it. About a year and half ago a family member suggested I try eharmony. I did.
I was a divorced single mom of two, but took the chance anyway and signed up for the first month. Nothing happened. So I signed up for the second month. It cost me $160.00 to find out I was compatible with absolutely no other person? When I emailed them about the problem, I was treated coldly like I was just an account number and nothing more. I would never recommend eharmony to anyone.
I have been with eHARMONY for 8.5 months. I agree with the report above. I have had 359 matches sent too me and nothing yet. Some have made it too open communication but never met any of them! They are a scam and the founders should face criminal charges. I plan on contacting the attorney general soon.
