eHarmony Blog.comJust curious if others out there agree- the most godawful user experience, the worst matches sent – and it’s one of the most expensive. I cannot believe that it is in fact successful. The ‘patented’ algorithms well, they just suck – plain and simple. I would almost call it fraudulent.
Anyhow, as I said – just curious if there are others out there that think this. Every single person in SF that I’ve talked to who has used it feels exactly the same way. So…. who still uses it??

eHarmony Promotional Codes 1 minute, 16 seconds agoAt some point in time, I was similarly all “vinegar” about them. It is just a dating website. If you make them out to be _THE_ solution to your dating problem, you are going to be in for some serious disappointment.
I agree, I’m fairly good looking for my age and the men I’m sent are dubious, too old or just have bad attitudes.
I’ve even met a few I was interested in but before the question and answer thing is over they have quit me for some unknown nuance in my answers. It’s really not the best way to meet anyone if they are going to give up so easily. I’m guessing there are SO MANY WOMEN in these sites they are like honey bees and as soon as they find a wee discrepancy they fly onto the next flower. Although frustrated I’m thinking that living the single life isn’t so bad after all… with so many strange (in the head) men out there.
@Mioshi… or there is something needs to be worked on on your side?
No, of course not. It is all those men.
Have you considered that this would also be an opportunity to review where you need to grow?
John again: I just wrote regarding another acerbic note you wrote to someone.
I have been on Eharmony 2 weeks. I’m already starting the process to make sure they don’t re-bill me for another 3 months.
I signed up for a free weekend, only to find after filling everything out that they won’t let you see any pictures unless you pay.
Though I want somone near my San Diego location, today they sent someone from Montana and Idaho as ‘flexible matches’. I don’t want to be a Farmers Wife, nor can I give up my livelihood here.
The pickings are slim ( too far,legally blind, scruffy, political zealots)…I am very disappointed. Going back to OKCupid where the matching seems more accurate.
So mysmermaid, you’ve been on there a whole of two weeks and you’re already wanting to give up and blame the service?
eHarmony’s just a place where you might run into people you otherwise wouldn’t get a chance to encounter. Give it a chance and open your mind a little.
I agree, the attitudes of people “out there” are very dubious, they jump to conclusions and don’t really give a person a chance. Before you even have a chance to ***meet*** they stop talking. I’ve sumised there just might be a GLUT of women on Eharmony (there certainly aren’t that many men) and the men have way too many choices and have trouble staying the course? Just a thought. I’m in the over 50 group and so far the men have been either too ill and need a housekeeper or have way too negative an attitude. There also seems to be an “it’s all about me” on both sides of the fence… which is truly too sad… it should be “all about us”.
Just sayin’…
I’m not talking about ‘people’. I’m talking about the service. I live in So. Cal and am asking for someone near me, but I’m getting matches from Montana (and YES THE SETTINGS ARE CORRECT). The while idea of a service you pay for is getting service. The website has been a technical mess, not allowing me to input answers to potential partners (saying I am over the word limit when I clearly am not). I’m trying to work with what they give me, but even the website is poor, and there does not seem to be any place to write to them about it (Imagine that)…The phone is busy…hence the previous post about starting now to make sure they don’t continue to bill me at the end of the 3 months, since there are so many folks that have had issues with that problem.
Mysmermaid you were talking about people too (“The pickings are slim ( too far,legally blind, scruffy, political zealots)”).
But, yes Meercat, there’s an “it’s all about me” in all our posts here. We look at each match and think “what can this fella offer to me?” or “is this fella a quality match?” instead of “Will this woman enjoy my company?” or “What can I share with this woman?”
Just a crazy thought.
Well, yeah, I haven’t met that great of guys either, personality or not… and many have NOT looked remotely like their picture. ONe guy said, after I told him he didn’t look like his picture, “yes, I know, but I LIKE that picture of me” Duh…
Also, there are some that might be interesting if they would just add a little detail, but they only use the language on the site, which, we see repeated over and over and over… after a while it means… nothing! How am I supposed to know if hes interestiong or just a generic, uninteresting fool?
