Q&A: Is eHarmony Blog pro-eHarmony?

Hmm, let’s check:

1. Tips and tricks and hacks on how to use eHarmony effectively.
2. How-tos on responding to matches.
3. Polls on how to use eHarmony effectively.
4. A photo of an eHarmony success story on each page.
5. The web’s only commercial-free source of promo codes.
6. Coverage of eHarmony acquisitions or new site features.

On the other hand

1. Tips and tricks how to get a refund.
2. Detailed instructions on how to close one’s account.
3. Scathing site reviews republished from all over.
4. Scathing reviews of every add-on service eHarmony tries to peddle.
5. The most in-depth coverage of the same-sex-matching lawsuit and aftermath.
6. Immediate coverage on any eHarmony “bad press”, such as the “Navigating the One Night Stand” brouhaha.

Why, yes, we very much like eHarmony to stick around. We’d like each of their members to get the most out of their memberships. We’d like eHarmony to get better. To this means, disgruntled users are always welcome, because their stories show that eHarmony has a hell of a lot more to improve, and, goodness, it doesn’t work for everyone.

Our promise though: If you’re committed that eHarmony has no room to improve, and that it should DIE DIE DIE, we’re happy to publish your views, and we hope you stick around. Keep the heckling to the minimum, please.

eHarmony Blog doesn’t recommend eHarmony, one way or the other. :-) Read the blog, get informed, ask questions, make your decision. That’s what we’re here for.

    So “no hecklers allowed” now?

    This sounds like the beginning of a “comments policy”. Do you we need one now? What do you guys think?

    When was the last time this blog posted anything about “how to use eH effectively”?

    For quite a while now (2 years, maybe), this has acted like a marketing mouthpiece for eHarmony. Promoting their TV commercial couples, and reporting on every mention or promotion of eH in the media or anywhere online.

    All while hiding on a web server overseas, and never identifying exactly “who” they are.

    And by the way, XEH shared last week that there IS keyword matching in the About Me profile., contrary to what you or we know Putting religious keywords on your profile will match you with more religious devotees.

    Eharmony has so many fake users. Use sites other than eharmony and match.com…use sites that will atleast give you a human response like plentyoffish, reelspark, and okcupid.

    I like eH because I, and anyone else cannot do the manual perusal.

    I also like eH because it “sort of” protects me from crazies. My pics only appear to a limited number of people at a limited time frame. The chances of that being discovered by enemies, crazy exes, etc. are low – compared to all the “fishing” sites.

    I think adding okCupid’s multi-choice questions would help further enhance the match in eH.

    match, plentyoffish, reelspark are.. less of a value unless you just want to ‘sow your oats’. Then they are excellent resource.

    After closing a match, is this match then able to still view your profile and pictures without them showing up under the tab- “Who’s viewed me?

    Lori,
    Yes.
    Once a Match is Closed, they will never show up again in the “Who’s Viewed me”.
    Thus, if they go and look at your Profile in their “Closed” tab, they will NOT show up in “Who’s Viewed me”.

    Lori, you can still view the profiles and pictures of the men in your “Closed” tab, can you not? These men can do the same thing to you.
