After extensive testing of married couples eHarmony developed one of the most successful matchmaking system in the singles dating business. Singles looking to find real love are invited to fill out a detailed personal profile with a series of probing character revealing questions that is used to help refine their matchmaking service to provide the love finding results for singles dating that they have become so well known for.
eHarmony is very successful singles dating site that can boast over 20 million members and thousands of new members joining each day. This translates into a huge membership pool for your search for quality singles for dating and a relationship. If you are looking for true love, eHarmony works to make it happen for you, reducing singles to character matches that best compliment your own nature. With 43,000 marriages each year in the US alone, they are pretty good at it too.
Our review staff tested a few small towns and less known locales and were able to find a number of local singles that they would have been interested in meeting. The matchmaking service is truly remarkable with eHarmony, and 9 times out of 10 you will be very happy with the singles your search produces for you.

The search features are a little annoying because they take so long, but the compatability match is fun once you get to the results… I was pretty shocked at some of the matches, but we turned out to be great friends.

Sexy and hot client list. Met some good people and it’s easy to keep out the creeps. Not a huge fan of the matching system, but with a little effort you can find your own partners that rock.

I find dates for each home game, nearly never fail to have a good time. If you are open minded you can meet some great people, some singles that you may not mesh with, but still on the whole its a better place and easier than your local bar!

Wow 2100 pages of Eharmony haters on edatereview.com, I think I finally found some real matches here! lol
Eharmony is a scam, they want my 45 bucks and give no bonafide matches…ZERO…NONE! What a scam they have going, Bernie Madeoff must be running this site!
99% and most likely ALL are NON-active Ghost members to entice fools into joining.
Eharmony is actually advertising on some dating review site with a video!!! So they probably OWN the site! And I would bet heavy that a generous portion of people who “love Eharmony” are fakes working for the site being how there are very few take it or leave it people out there…its all love or hate and I know the haters are real because I just became another one of the growing population.
Paying members cant contact anyone who is not? So what am I paying for again?? Oh yeah so I can see what they look like…wait I can do that for free on any other dating site.
Then you can’t organize them other than ‘archive’ some and then maybe ‘close’ some so then your all confused and are forced to see your mis matches ( over 500) all mixed in with the ones you want to keep for reference. So after frustration sets in you end up “Archiving” them all. gee how handy to look at a blank screen huh?
Then they argue and refuse to give a refund because I was on for 4 days with ZERO responses…and ZERO SENT MAILINGS??(because they wont let you send to non members, who dont even exist) Every letter they write back is argumentative as they still try to sell me more on the site??? SERIOUSLY?? This is the worst company I have ever dealt with.
Looks like everyone is finding out and putting the word out about Ehardonme.
Shouldn’t be long now until they slam the cell door on Dr Neil.
Everyone out there searching hard and getting scammed like this , I wish you all the best of luck on your search.

eHarmony account is set auto-renewal. So if your not paying attention your subcription will renew by what you origional contract lenght was. Their No-refunds renewal policy is absolute. The auto-renewal along with no-refund policy is simply a tool to screw over the subscribers one last time before they leave! I agree to paying 1 month as my part in error for not paying close enough attention to the “account settings” but 3,6 or more months is absolutely ridiculous. If it wasn’t meant to screw the consumer it would renew monthly not doubling the subscription. Simply because you decided to invest multiple months in good faith in eHarmony you get taken for more than anyone just giving the site a try for a month. Great way to treat your best customers! Spread the word about eHarmony’s abuse of its customer and poor quality matches.
I have had little to no luck on eHarmony. I’ve been on other sites with absolutely no problems. I am not a disgusting nasty person & date on a regular basis without the help of websites. I have only had 1 date/meeting generated by eHarmony in 6 months. If I had actually had any decent matches I would have renewed myself. I can afford the money, I can’t tolerate being taken advantage of. I wouldn’t recommend eHarmony to anyone!!!!

I agree with the other person who said..Bernie Madeoff..must be a partner of theirs.

eHarmony is a rip-off. I took advantage of the free weekend recently. It seemed like the perfect site, since it had that detailed dating assessment. I had received messages, but I was not able to see then until I forked over some cash. I was able to see some when I a total of $137.85 to get more services for the next three months. Now that the 3 days have passed, I cannot view messages and the “matches” are anything but an ideal match. It contains to match me with individuals that are too young or too old, plus the reason for the match is usually one thing that has nothing to do with meeting the right guy.

WHAT A SCAM you can’t even cancel subscription.

eharmony is useless. I paid almost $150 for 6 months and I’m getting really weird matches, full of people whose hobbies, habits, lifestyles, etc., are not what I would consider dating material let alone “love” or “marriage” material. And I’ve sent emails and questions to at least a couple of potential matches a day — yes, finding love is grueling — and three weeks later I haven’t received a SINGLE reply. I’m above average looks, well educated, set the bar reaaally low just to see if I can get someone to reply, and nada. I have more luck on okcupid.

Yes actually you can cancel. I was subscribed for two weeks and had way too many responses, i couldn’t keep up with so I closed my account. Being a traditional gal, it just felt wrong communicating with multiple men. I’ve kept in touch with two who are great friends now. But I did cancel my subscription and by doing that I stopped getting matches. The system worked for me, but then again I’m not out there looking for a “good time”. I suppose the system matched me with people who were genuine because I am too…
