There is something seriously wrong… I got no matches today!

Something weird is going on today, which is the day after the blessed Free Communication Weekend. After trying out a dozen combinations of Match Settings that didn’t work, I decided to turn the settings all to MAXIMUM (such as

  • Setting my zip code in Union City, New Jersey, the most populous city in the United States.
  • Being Roman Catholic, the most predominant religion in the United States.
  • Being White, Non-Hispanic, the most predominant ethnicity in the United States.
  • Accepting any human being of any age, shape, colour, beliefs, family status, background or lifestyle.
  • Setting my range to “Anywhere in the world!“
  • Visiting the site through a proxy server located in New Jersey (so the browser requests indeed come from NJ)
  • Clearing all my browser cookies.

and so forth) and then clicked “Find new matches”….

Our matching system was not able to find any new matches for you right now.

What the…?! The bloody matching system is busted!

This cannot be the end of it! I’m still fully paid for 22 more days. I expect and deserve 115 more matches. Am I unmatchable because I already reached Open Communication with 28 people? Fifteen thousand bloody idiots joined eHarmony today — do you mean none of these idiots are compatible to me? What’s going on?!

    Oh that’s nothing, I’ve gone 2 weeks without getting a single match. When that usually happens I click on the “Tell Us How We’re Doing” link and write a nasty feedback notice be sure to throw in the “R” word when you do, that usually works.

    I’m in Union City several times a month.

    Union City has three things: Catholics, Cubans and great sandwiches.

    Did you try saying you were Hispanic, Catholic and in zip code 07087 ?

    The only flaw I see in your plan is that most of Union City has a fairl low per capita income, and the average Union Cityite would not be joining eHarmony.

    There are some luxury condos and other areas nearby that do have lots of people with disposable income (Hoboken, parts of Jersey City, Weehawken, Guttenberg) that would probably be matches if you narrowed your search to 30 miles or less.
