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 have NOT joined e-harmony and I get matches (not)just after filling out a few basic questions….but hold on. I joined Senior Friend Finders - squat; Big Church - squat; Match.com - met and dated a married man for 9 months before I learned he was married, although I have to admit, I wasn’t too fond of him and I saw red flags from the very first date….was I that desperate? And listen to this, he has a doctor’s degree in theology, yes, thats right, the Bible, he even went to church with me on Christmas Sunday Morning - he was wanting M O N E Y….what else is new? I’ve also filled out a profile for Date.com - so far nothing. I’m beginning to feel like Archie….I’m a widow, reasonably nice looking, have a decent car (small Lincoln), my house is a nice brick medium size home, paid for and I have 65 acres and another house, paid for….I have a good job….and I go to church as least twice a week, I do not drink or smoke. So nice guys, where are you? Must not be any because all the “matches” that I’ve been referred too are either, too young, too old, ugly as sin and unkempt. I can almost smell some of them when I see the pictures, but even the fat, bald, ugly ones, wants, cute little things that are 15 to 20 years younger. Honey, they don’t appeal to this 62 year old, so why do they think a young pretty thing would want them? Well, got my two cents worth in….thanks for reading.
I joined, but did not get a single match. That’s right, not one! I am intelligent, articulate, and while not physically perfect, I would be acceptable to a good percentage of the female population. If there was a question, “Do you like to smother your partner to death in her sleep”, I think I must have miss-read it, and clicked “yes” by mistake. There is no other excuse for ZERO matches.
Archie.
I was on the site eHarmony for more than a year and did not see any trustworthy service, everything looked like a scam. My biggest concern was that they charge you for an extention of service without any requests from you and that is a very bad experience.
