eHarmony Blog.comAt around 1:29 this morning (February 11), eHarmony served its two billionth match. eHarmony’s match ID turned two billion and I have two emails that prove it. That’s the number of pairings the system has made since it started off circa August 2000.
eHarmony hit the first billion milestone on September 22, 2008. 507 days = 1.97 million matches per day.

Feature Request 8: Last reply date 59 seconds ago eHarmony rejects people below 
eHarmony Promotional Codes 1 minute, 20 seconds agoBack to the math this is why I was never a math major.3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database
The number go down with lesser people in a data base. I would say that 6 would be compatible in a half a million data base. Which mean there are 3 matches for males and 3 matches for the females total 6 matches * 3mil matches from the original half a million person in the data base. I have no ideal what this proves.
Fernando says, “What will John Doe expect from U.S. eHarmony? The list of 24 most compatible women for him, extracted from a 500,000 women database”
Do these 24 women obey John’s criteria for age, distance, height, body type, ethnicity, educational attainment, income, and desire to have children? Are all these 24 women available today, right now and have time to date?
Suppose John doesn’t have time to date this week, will he be able to expect an updated list of 24 women next week who will be just as available as him then?
Tell us, Mr. Ardenghi.
How did he get 24? The numbers don’t make sense. Anyway, I have been saying the same thing. About the variables. It does seem that if you are compatible in a smaller data base you won’t get as many matches. And then you have to break it down further into age , geographic area, and chemisty and interests. And chemistry seems to come first. No personality tests or any other measurement can equate all the variables and predict success with human beings.
When I was at eHamrony I would hear that there weren’t that many compatible matches in my area. My age may have had something to do with it also. I guess if I was willing to match someone out of state. But I am not a jet setter. And because of that I would go days without matches. They promise everything until you read their fine print. And again I do not think their personality test screens out only those individual who want to long term relationship. In my view their methods are flawed.
I might add that from reading this blog I get more and more insights into how eHarmony runs it corporation. Maybe if I had known about this blog, things might have turned out differently. I still advise customer do not call them unless you have no choice. Sorry, I have learned to be skeptical and not trusting of certain corporations. I also advise everyone to read their “terms and conditions.” It is too bad they do not put them front and center. By doing the above math and so forth, I understand now what the reps meant when they stated that there where not a lot of compatible matches for me in my area. It is too bad however, that it takes a lot of decoding to know what this coropration is about. There is something wrong with that picture and so it goes.
This exercise in numbers in my view is an exercise in futility. Read again eHarmony disclaimers about meeting matches. They moved it arround but it s still here. THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY SELLING POINTS AND THAT IS WHAT THEIR MARKETING DEPARTMENT WON’T TOUCH THEM WITH A 10 FOOT POOLE.
You understand that eHarmony makes no guarantees, either express or implied, regarding your ultimate compatibility with individuals you meet through the Singles Service or as to the conduct of such individuals. You further understand that eHarmony makes no guarantees as to number or frequency of matches through the Singles Service.
In addition, I thought this might be interesting. Draw your own conclusions.
No Harassment of eHarmony Employees or Agents. You must not harass, annoy, intimidate or threaten any eHarmony employees or agents engaged in providing any part of the Services to you.
Don’t you love the way they use”You, You, You” over and over again not exactly a term of endearment. And so it goes.
