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 wish I had seen this before I signed up for eHarmony. I’ve been wasting time with them since August 2007.
I have been told that I miss out on about 85% of the possible matches for me because I don’t drink alcohol and won’t consider a man who does.
I don’t believe that I am the only nondrinker who is looking for that special someone!
I won’t be giving eHarmony any more of my hard-earned money!!
I agree. I have called eharmony because 50% of my matches had other people pictures. Same picture different name and locations. I have learn that all my 50% matches came from nigeria. Nigeria the capital of scams. Eharmony of cause gave me 1 free month. But still the matches came and again they were all from nigeria. How could you tell??? Easy the can’t spell.. They use the small I and that’s a give away. I have had 25 mathces with the same pictures different names and locations. I lost a lot of money on eharmony. I have had over 15 matches no commuication. Will never go back,
I joined e-harmony a couple of weeks ago. What a waste of time and money! A rep from e-harmony telephoned me a couple of nights ago to see how I liked their service. I ripped into her and told her I thought the whole thing was a ripoff.I asked her how many of the “matches” I had been sent were active accounts and never did get an answer. I requested that my account not be automatically renewed after this month. Guess what? They haven’t sent me anymore matches although I have two weeks left on my account. Guess what else? I don’t care!
