eHarmony Blog.comDon’t just take our word for it
“I’m guessing that this content was written up by someone who has had very little exposure to people of different orientations. You don’t need to reword anything to cater to people of different orientations. People are people, and in as much as relationships go, we all go about it the same way.”
– Julien McArdle, software developer, researcher, film-maker, author, web designer and Ottawan.
The site recommended that I date older women or Native Americans–pretty much the only two categories I excluded in my criteria. What am I, homeless?
No pictures, every single one out of state, and to top it all off, you can’t actually even contact them; it wants you to select 5 of their multiple choice questions. Lame, lame, lame.
Chris Thompson: “This is a brief and humourous chronicle of my adventure on e-Harmony. I got no matches. In the entire world. I think it’s because I’m really tall. I’ve got some footage of the founder of e-Harmony, Dr. Neil Clark Warren in there, and he looks like a complete religious nutjob. Enjoy!”
The answer to his height question is here: How does HEIGHT figure into the matching process …, dated October 2008
Chris, too funny! Thanks for the laugh. And yes, I have noticed eH's conservatism. Many of the canned answers are less the adequate. I am pleased they let you add your own responses in some of them. I do think the lists of Must Have/Can't Stand is filly. Really, who wants a rude, anti-social bigot? …
From John of Dallas, TX dated May 19, 2010:
Oh my! I cancelled my subscription on May 18th and logged in to eHarmony to make sure of the date on which my subscription was to cancel. When I did, I turned off the matching options so that people would not be inquiring about me when I would have no opportunity to respond. When I turned off the matching, the system automatically checked the box “renew your subscription” without notifying me. The result was that when I pressed enter to change my matching settings, I was duped into auto renewing my subscription …. 97.00 !!!! I didn’t know it auto renewed, theye didn’t tell me.
When I checked my checking account, and saw the 97.00 debit, I called eHarmony and was told by recording, “we are experiencing very high call volume, please call back”. I held for several minutes before speaking to “Lillian”.
Interesting this. I also was given "a one time courtesy" refund when I threatened to report them to interpol after SIX matches they sent me were really from a Russian organised crime syndicate ripping of vulnerable women in exchange for the promise of a green card. Of course I had weeks of being b …
I have only joined one dating site, ChristianMingle.com, and that was recently. So, being a newbie, let me tell you I really appreciate this site giving us the ins and outs of eharmony before we decide to join or not.
My questions:
1) Does anyone know how the two sites compare to each other? Feature differences, number of members, etc? (I’m looking for a devoted Christian male).
I don't know where John is getting his info about $10.00 a month. I got $19.99 a month from eH once, but that was after literally going through the ringer with their customer service b/c not a single one of my matches was even in my area, or someone who I would consider, and the ones I would have be …

Add some of your own!
