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 just got off the phone with eHarmony. Over a year ago I signed up for the service and foolishly paid a year in advance. I decided that I wasn’t interested in dating so I never used the service. In fact I forgot that I had signed up for it until two months ago they started charging me on a monthly basis - the beginning of a new year. The woman in the billing department refused to give me credit for those two months. This company is definitely a rip off even as I was explaining to the woman that I never used or even accessed the service during the year I had paid for up front, she was trying to get me to stay so that I could find the “love of my life”! shessh!
I totally agree, E-harmony is a rip-off. They match me only with creepy men, twice my age that don’t match to the my requirements. I get grossed out everytime I open one the matches they send me. And I know very well there are decent men out there.
The service at E-harmony sucks!
I agree with the negative reviews. I am trying to get out of Eharmony. The only thing I have in common with many of the matches they send me is that we are carbon based life forms.
I thought I had met someone but a background check showed him to be a phony. Don’t waste your time and money.
