1000 things I learned from eHarmony

Posted by Elizabeth on 05 April 2010 under Reviews · Comments (5)

1. To have a funny profile, all you have to do is pick “Using humor to make friends laugh” from the choices.
2. #1 what people really can’t live without: GUNS
3. To tell a company to stop charging your card, you have to look for and click “Cancel my subscription”.
4. The best Most Influential Person In My Life is “My ex-wife”.
5. The best time to go to eHarmony and create an account is One week after a breakup.
6. The best time to join eHarmony and start dating is two days after a divorce.
7. Every woman is 29 years old.
8. The question on Most Passionate About is never literal. It’s okay to put “Climbing the Kilimanjaro” when you’re afraid of heights.

Add some of your own!

I hate Free Communication Weekends

Posted by Elizabeth on 18 November 2009 under eHarmonipedia · Comments (3)

As a subscriber, I turn off matching and I almost never visit the site during free communication weekends. I know why they exist and I’m resigned that they exist, but my matches only get to hear from me AFTER the event.

Why?

Because non-subscribers don’t see photos during an FCW.

Because there are much better ways to spend a Tuesday afternoon than emailing photos to somebody whom I’ll never hear from again.

If I do get a “Match Communication Received” email during the weekend, sure, I will reply and move him along communication until Sunday.

Otherwise, well, see all of you on Tuesday.

Say “Aye” if you agree.

Posted by Elizabeth on 20 July 2009 under eHarmonipedia · Comments (1)

Whoa, the company has a blog now, but do they really have to rub this thing in?

really-have-to-rub-it-in

:-D

Kidding aside, well, we are flattered by this gesture. Our blog is a mosquito compared to a giant and yet, the company chose a different name and not ours. We remain “eHarmony Blog” or “EHB” and their blog is “Open Communication”, “Official eHarmony Blog”, etc. There is room for unofficial, unauthorized information, here, and room for official, public-relations information, there. Thanks, eHarmony, we appreciate this.

    Hey I just found why the official blog or its entries don't show up in blog search engines or search engine alerts. The blog's pages are tagged <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> What a strange way to run a blog. …
