eHarmony adds “Maybe” tab

Of all people in the world, I hate it when I’m behind on news on eHarmony.

What is this “Maybe” tab that members are nonchalantly talking about?

I still have a “Hold” tab with 3 matches in it. Does this matter?

Readers, care to document this site change? I hope I don’t need to create a new profile to find out.

    I don’t seem to have this on my account (this post finally piqued my interest enough to login to my account…after such a pathetic FCW, I have not been very enthusiastic).

    My account is now 2+ years old though, so we may be in the same boat, eHB

    …or it is being transitioned in and folks saw it during testing like we’ve seen other features come and go and then finally stay.

    My account is about two years old also. Mine didn’t have any of the new stuff until I re-took the test. When I logged back in my matches page was a little different. I was actually going to add a post about it when I didn’t see anybody mention it, but got a little sidetrack. The tabs on the matches page are as follow: New, Communicating, Interested, Maybe, and Closed.

    When you look at a match there is this box with “How interested are you in ‘insert name’”. There is a slider thing that says not, somewhat and very. You also have the option of in between not & somewhat and somewhat & very.

    All your matches stay in new matches until you submit the slider with your interest level. If you select somewhat or between somewhat & not it moves the match to the maybe tab. If you select very or between somewhat & very it moves them to the interested tab. If you choose not interested it gives you the following options:

    – Tell us which match settings “insert name” doesn’t fit (if any)
    Distance
    Height
    Religion
    Age
    – How complete is “insert name’s” profile?
    – How attractive do you find “insert name”?
    (This two questions you have the slider with the same options as with how interested are you.)
    – If the match has a picture it asks about the quality of the picture.

    If have not submitted your interest level on a match and they initiate communication it will show up in your communicating tab and also in the new tab. If you respond to the communication it puts them in your interested tab and communicating tab.

    Once a match is moved to the interested and maybe tab and you go back to their profile there is another link that says “Tell us why you are interested in ‘insert name’” where the options are:

    – How much do you like “insert name’s” profile? (this one has the slider)
    – Is there anything you’d like to tell us about Chris? (this one has a box where you can write whatever you want)
    – Quality of the picture.

    So that’s what’s new with the matches page. I hope all that makes sense. I could probably do screen shots of my matches page if that would help.

    Summary:
    They copied some things that Chemistry.com does…:)

    Okay, so they added some user feedback that sounds like it could improve matching if it gets added to the matching algorithm and they are not just collecting data. I wonder if some of the mentioned feedback gets relayed to the match.

    Still not present in my account. Maybe because I’m not a subscriber?

    Well I’m in no mood to take the test again now, but propanekid spoke with CS earlier today:

    Just got off the phone with Eh propa. What I was told was that the “maybe” tab along with several other features is only available to a certain focus group of new members.

    Can’t be added to old accounts unless the powers that be decide to add it as a feature.

    Distance / Height / Religion / Age?

    So that’s all what eHarmony figures are the reasons why people don’t like match!? Surely it’s more complex than that, if they are truly after improving their system.

    According to the demo of the features I got when I first logged in they don’t share any of the info with your matches. I haven’t gotten anything that shows me what they say or if they are interested.

    I’ve had this feature for about two and a half weeks now. I have notice the last week that my matches have been more in the height range that I like. Don’t know if it’s coincidence or if my marking off the height reason has actually had some effect.
