Feature Request 2: Memorized responses to canned questions

As I wrote in “Describe your spirituality”, many of my matches are taking the shortcut route and, instead of spending five minutes desiring to explore the person who would stay with them until they grow old and die, they spend two seconds to click, click, click and send.

Well, I’m fed up with typing, “I’m usually on time and I always call ahead when I will be late.” So, eHarmony, please PLEASE set the site up to memorize my previous answers.

If this gets worse, I might set up a domain — www.FAQ-for-clueless-eHarmony-matches.com .

    Ah, what’s worse is in the 2nd stage long answers I’ve had matches cut and paste answers into the boxes and forget to change the name of the last match in the reply. LOL.

    Well, Stephen…

    And I think to myself “Who the heck is Stephen?”

    FireFox (and some other browsers) remember what you’ve filled in for input boxes, so I don’t even have to cut-and-paste for 1st questions, which is nice.

    I cut-and-paste from a bank of well-written answers to 2nd questions for each match, sometimes requires a little bit of customization but I’m starting to get around that by putting the modified responses in the answer bank, too.

    It is a sad thought but I think I’m getting to the point where I think I should work on a cut-and-paste “bank” for OC, since that’s where I type quite a bit and most of the initial conversation is very similar/the same and there’s still some “weeding” to do in that state, despite asking “hard” questions in the earlier ones.

    Playing Devil’s advocate:
    I’m not sure if eHarmony will do this. If everyone just does canned responses, doesn’t it sort of trivialize the guided communication process? Perhaps that is their reasoning for forcing us to answer each time…to think of our answers for each match individually and consider them carefully.

    Well, that was the old model, before photos…before icebreakers…since they are headed towards being more mainstream…they should consider making this change.

    Composing a well thought out answer to questions that don’t change very often makes a lot of sense in terms of usability and still conveys interest/reflection/thought about your response to a match.
