No drama, no weird habits to adjust to, no answering to another person if I choose to stay in my pajamas all weekend long. Been on eHarmony for the last 6 months and can honestly say I have not had one single match that I had any interest in. Match is too far, no common interest, no photo, no attraction, etc. Most had significantly different interests and values than I have. I have no idea what algorithm they use, but we would be better off if they used chickens to pick names out of a hat to match.
Also, thinking that this is a paid website, people would be somewhat classier. I have had several matches with people who were not divorced i. I thought eHarmony actually scans photos and "approves" them. Yeah, this site is seedier than POF or Tinder, definitely not worth paying for. I will be going back to Match and OKC. I tried it two or three times on free trials just checking out how it worked. The third time I decided the special was good so I signed up for a year. After a few months, they told me there were no matches for me and closed my account but refused to refund the remainder of my payment.
They closed my account the day after sending me a whole set of new matches plus new people sign up all the time. It made no sense. I tried eHarmony for several months and did not find matches. The man was exactly the opposite of me. He liked many things which I did not.
I wrote eHarmony customer service many emails to try to remedy this. At first they said that it was probably FlexMatching because they had no other matches for me. They suggested that I go to settings and change my categories to very important so that I would not receive FlexMatches. When I attempted to do this, I found that the categories in which we differed were not listed under settings.
I contacted eHarmony again and they told me that the man in question was shown to me because we were both considered monogamous and altruistic. Although, these are admirable traits, they alone do not make for a good relationship. When I asked for information about their 29 point matching system, they sent me a link which stated that they had conducted scientific research about happily married couples but that their matching points were secret so that competitors would not find out what they are.
So, their matching system does not work and they hide behind secrecy so that they do not need to explain why they offer matches which are very different from what a subscriber wants. All in all, I am extremely disappointed with eHarmony and would recommend that people do not utilize their service.
Making a profile: Honesty is a must, you guys
I consider them fraudulent. Also, after reading a review which stated that they auto billed a subscription to a person who had set his billing information to not auto bill, I changed my credit card information to a pay as you go card with only a dollar left on it so that they could not auto bill me. Then I canceled my subscription.
It has been a complete waste of money in my experience; I wish I had given the money away to some homeless person instead.

First and foremost, the site has little, if any activity. Often, I am shown pictures of women who have "moved on. Also, one must keep a sharp eye out for scammers. One woman who looked very attractive claimed to be 60, but in her profile clarified that she was actually 40 but couldn't alter her age on her profile. She contacted me, was too overtly sexual for my taste and wanted to communicate offline.
Based upon what I've, this is often a set-up for a scam Years ago, I recall eHarmony used to promote themselves on television as having an algorithm that promises to match members in loving relationship. Too bad that the TV pitchman - the guy wearing a white smock, carrying a clipboard, and having a smirk on his face - wasn't still.

Perhaps, then he might draw others suckers to this site to make more worthwhile I would suggest you look elsewhere for love, and do something more rewarding with your hard earned rather than waste it on this service. I signed at beginning of November I set my profiles as I preferred.

When I contacted support because I was not getting any matches they advised me that I needed to change my preferences to be more open. I followed your advice going against what I was actually looking for in a person. I have had few responses but nothing but people over 2 to 3 hours away from my hometown. I contacted eHarmony and again I was chat. I was told to set my profile settings differently than what I would prefer. I feel as though eHarmony is fraudulent and their advertisement and is misleading to their customers. I have canceled my membership and I am very disappointed with their service.
I think eHarmony is a scam. My account was set to NOT auto-renew and billed anyway. This service had modified my settings and performed an unauthorized withdraw on my bank account. I used this service for a few months and found success elsewhere. My account was deleted.
Secret of eHarmony algorithm is revealed....
The majority of profiles they "match" you with are people who have not been on the site in forever. It would be nice if they would bring back the "Last online" feature as otherwise you could be writing to someone who has been in a relationship for the last year. This my first time dating online and never again. One response was from a suspicious match that was immediately asking for my phone number, finally give him my phone number and after a couple hours I was getting phone calls from Romania, really?
His profile says he was from New York. I noticed that their staff removed the match from the system for undisclosed reasons, soon thereafter. I do not wish to share my information with any more of their users. I asked to have my account wiped and a refund returned. I was given the runaround by both a call rep Beth and a supervisor and on top of that they want to charge me the balance. My 'matches' were usually out of my age range by more than 10 years older or younger than me.
They were also usually over miles away! Completely misleading and a waste of your time, energy and money! I joined eHarmony recently. Nobody talks to me and the few who has interacted only did like a short while. It is super to be matched with people states away from you and Canada. I was told the site would better match you. It feels like a scam. Do NOT sign up for auto renewal. Will not close my account by phone.
California has won a class action lawsuit against eHarmony. I had an eHaronmy account about a year ago. I canceled it and ask them to remove my profile. A relationship I had started fell through because the woman I was seeing thought I was still trolling for dates because my profile still appeared to be active. I reactivated the account and found they had left my profile active all that time, making mine a "ghost" account.
There were scores of "matches" during that time. The women must have thought I was a snob for not replying to them. This appears to be how eHarmony inflates the number of accounts presented to users.
