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
Last year I tried e-harmony for 3 months with nothing. Made it to open communication with 2 matches that seemed to lose interest overnight. During the last 2 days of my subscription the matches poured in and so did requests for communication.
A few months later, e-harmony had a free weekend offer and I thought I had a chance of meeting a match. After the offer was over, I signed up for 3 months at a discounted price, thinking maybe I would have better luck. WRONG! Still have not met anyone. I made it to open communication with 2 matches.
I strongly believe that the first match is married. We exchanged e-mails and I did not hear from him for 5 days and I e-mailed him a second time, he had some lame excuse that he was busy. If a man has any interest in you, he will take 5 minutes out of week to send an e-mail!
The second match never posted a photo saying there was a problem with the download. Then he finally e-mailed me 3 photos and they all looked different. I guess he thought it was funny to e-mail me photos of somebody else. I wrote back and said, so which one is you? Coincidently, the photo that was blurry is him. I don’t expect anything special out of this one either.
I haven’t received any new matches for several days. When my subscription expires, that’s it, no more WASTING MONEY ON E-HARMONY. I think I’d have better luck match.com or another service.
E-harmony needs to do some upgrades such as giving more options or letting you write your own reason for closing a match. I hate it when gutless people write “other.” I choose to steer clear of matches that all of their questions pertain to sex and then they say, “boobs are nice, but I prefer brains.” What an idiot!
I have one month left and once again, I have no faith and ever meeting someone from e-harmony face-to-face. Just once, I’d like to meet someone! E-harmony should not be allowed to run false advertising on TV!
I have been a member on eharmony, on and off, for the past two years. I always join for a month and then go back to try my luck again. I have never once met anyone. The few matches I have communicated with usually disappear soon after arriving at the open communication stage. After reading some of the other comments I don’t feel as much like a loser. I thought it was me…… guess eharmony just wants our money. They won’t be getting any more of mine. What a shame that they prey on single peole who are just looking for a little romance in their lives!
avoid e-harmony, stay away from this website, some people are not who they say they are. be aware of anyone who asks for money, they are a scam and e-harmony does not seem to check to make sure people are who they say they are. (match.com does)
eharmony will only send an email saying they are not responsible for any association a member decides to have with another member. so stay away from this site. you will be ripped off!!!!!!
