Los Angeles-based eharmony (www.eharmony.com) launched in the United States in 2000 with its patented Compatibility Matching System® which allows eharmony members to be matched with compatible persons with whom they are likely to enjoy a long-term relationship. Millions of people of all ages, ethnicities, national origins and religious and political beliefs have used eharmony’s Compatibility Matching System to find compatible long-term relationships.
The user experience on eHarmony is 100% personalized for each individual user, but also very restricted. This isn’t a site to throw out “Hi, how are you” or other generic messages and waits for responses. Instead, users can only see those people the site has identified as potentially good matches for them (so that means there are no browsing or searching features available). Members discover others based on their intentionally limited number of matches the site shows them each day.
The more one uses the site, the more matches, and encounters that are possible. But due to the nature of only seeing a hand-picked yet small percentage of the total site membership each day. The online dating process on eHarmony is slower and more calculated than that on other online dating sites. This, of course, could be a deterrent to some. But with the tried and true success, eHarmony has in facilitating lasting romances and marriages. In addition to numerous awards, the site has received over the years. It’s reasonable to consider dropping your need for instant gratification or mass attention in order to achieve real love.

I only purchased 20 credit and it became clear right away that none of the men answering my profile were legit and they are only interested in chatting via the paid site because it costs you 1 credit for every message, 10 credits for an email, etc. It ridiculous. The main goal is to sap you off as much money as possible and this site is run in a method I’ve never seen before. I’ve been on other membership dating apps and real, legit individuals are happy to move to WhatsApp or Kik in order to chat privately. None of the guys who answered my profile would chat outside of Eharmony.com, BECAUSE THEY ARE FAKE ! Probably during in a call center and tossing out pre-written messages in order to entice the paying party to text more and more. Plus, it was really suspicious that all the guys looked like GQ models. Real pics from real men, even if they are highly skilled professionals, don’t all look too good to be true. If something seems to good to be true, it probably is…..
So, the company is a scam and buyer beware. I even question the validity of the 4 and 5 star reviews. They’re probably planted by Eharmony.com employees.
A rippoff! Everything that anyone has read so far has happened to me.”scientific matching” with trolls or obvious scammers that don’t even have a basic command of the language. And every one wants me to contact them thru other email carriers, yahoo, facebook etc. Eharmony won’t get another $30.00 from me. I can’t wait to experience the abortion of unsubscribing.
I just signed up for eHarmony this month and I have two more months until my membership expires. I will NOT sign up again. The main reason is because of the lack of responses from women I have messaged. From what I have seen, if a woman doesn’t respond it is very likely that they have not been active on the site. So, I the unsuspecting user thinks that various profiles are active, when in reality they are not. This site is very much a scam, because the developers of eHarmony could easily change this feature to show which users have been active. However, if they change that feature, then that may mean less money for the company. Once users find out who isn’t active, they won’t waste their time or money. The scheme is quite unfortunate, because it is built on the hope of people finding the love of their life. I would never recommend eHarmony. Not only is the price not worth it, but the site itself could have been created with the user in mind. I have only received messages from 4 women. 3 out of 4 disappeared on me. It didn’t quite work out with one woman I messaged due to a disagreement about personal beliefs, but that aside, the message ratio has been quite low. I have received smiles from women I wasn’t interested in, and a few looks. Other than that, this site is complete junk! Don’t waste your time or money with this.
Although I have had issues with this website, it was more over the women I contacted rather than a short comming of this website, From my limited but wasteful experience at “other” sites, It is delivered without the scammers, mysterious email from people, etc.
Run far away from this one it’s an complete scam!
Keep your money TOTAL SCAM
This is a total scam. I paid to join because the profile I put up received messages indicating interest from reasonably attractive females. After I paid I found out they had never sent the message.
Warning this is a fake site that takes your money..non of the profiles on here are real its some phsycho using fake pics and taking money.
My experience is that this site was good for finding suitable matches. I do like their interface. would totally recommend the site to everyone, its so easy to use and they give you great matches!
I had a great experience on this site l have met someone so very special she is my soul mate she is the best thing that has come into my life
This dating app definite helped me get out of my comfort zone. Thank you for the opportunity, I will be forever grateful that this site provided a safe place for me to build confidence.
It’s a small world they say but believe me when I say you haven’t seen nothing yet. Just create a profile and get ready for a whole new experience.
Met the man Ive been waiting for for a very long time! 8 years on and off sites being single but this website got it spot on! Thanks guys
I was able to find a few dates within the first week on the platform, and all were genuinely looking for lasting relationships.
It takes your safety very seriously, so you can rest assured that all personal details you enter are well protected and completely confidential.
Very good. I didn’t believe I would, but I’ve met the woman of my dreams.
After numerous tries on this site, I finally met the woman of my dreams!!! Thank you !! I will definitely recommend this site to anyone and everyone!!!
This is the best dating website in the world, it keeps you informed all the time! And allows everyone to actually talk. The reminders are my favorite.
Crappy site!
Paying is easy but try and cancel your subscribtion is near on impossible as As soon as you try the app locks up.Keep away from it
I don’t get anyone close to the profile I entered and keep getting pop ups for more money. What a joke – same people over and over. Difficult site to navigate – no simple way to delete. No “Maybe” button – just Pass or Like. I wasted hard earned money for this as they will not give a refund if you are dissatisfied. Don’t sign up on this site.
Lots of hype and very little substance, many of the profiles are fault and no longer active. Worse than this site actively interferes in your choices by suggesting what age people should seek, and get you locked in certain age against your choice. I would highly recommend people search other online dating entities before joining in.
While acclaimed as one of the better sites, Eharmony shares the same algorithms as the worst of them. Visits, messages and matches are articles are “planted” I cannot tell you how many women I’ve sent a note never viewed me. I’m sure visits stack up for the women where men are eliminated on first sight. You would be surprised how many truly homely women there are. The majority of women have only one picture and no narrative. I’m leaving and after a thousand views without even being close to asking a woman out.
DO NOT join! False Advertising and HORRIBLE Customer Service! Save your money. Much more reputable sites out there. Quick to take your money but very very ignorant when it comes to assisting the customer. Again,..Beware!!
I used this site many years ago and l’m very disappointed this time. Waste of money. Not worth it. They want to charge you for everything. You can’t even put the picture you want on as your profile. Horrible experience.
They cannot be responsible for what people post but their overall caliber of people is somewhat risky. They say one thing one time and something different next time. Never felt safe. When I tried to block someone it did not always work and if it did it took a few days. Again, didn’t feel safe.
After clicking w/ a very charming apparently “normal” guy for a couple of hrs, our conversation poof! Disappeared…twice! We were never able to reconnect. Then, I wasn’t even able to post my pictures or contact someone either via telephone or email. The site is a joke!
Save your money. I suspect this site is nothing but a scam. Every day I look for new matches. The pictures are listed as “New” but they are not new. They just keep sending me pictures of the same people. I wish I could get a refund. This site is horrible. It’s not even worth one star.
Customer service no where to be found, good luck if you need help except for your payment! A definite lack of substance.
Just found this company is taking another 3 months subscription fee although I’ve cancelled.. it’s a rubbish site please don’t use ive now got headaches of trying to get my money back
This is one of the most poorly functional and monitored Apps. I will be sticking with Match and another reputable site. This has been a complete waste of time and money. Frankly, the free site is better than this one. And better run, to boot. Stay far away. This company is going soon.
Just an awful app. There is so few matches in your area to start. The app itself is useless and put off date. It buffers and doesn’t load. Then when you contact their customer service team they keep telling you to uninstall and reinstall the app. When you decide (very quickly) this isn’t worth the ridiculous amount of money being charged and try to cancel, you will be informed that it isn’t possible as per their terms and conditions.
I joined a while ago but wasn’t on there very often, but decided to login and check things out, I couldn’t login so I asked for a email with password reset, I never got it so I contacted the help page, I got an email saying sorry for your login issues we have manually sent you a password reset , I never got it glad I’m not wasting my money paying to be a part of this money grabber online website, which looks like because I’m not paying they don’t want me on there, fairly annoyed right now with the mediocre help I’ve received all I can say is don’t waste your time or money.
This app is an absolute scam. I’m not a bad looking guy and I have had success on other apps like tinder… over the past month I have had about 12 matches and 6 conversations started. All 6 of which were initiated with a gif or a simple “hi”. Most of those initiations didn’t respond to my first message and a day or two later showed as “deleted user” in my inbox. There are no real women on this app. Or if there is… they are not active. I spent $20 on spotlights and got an extra 3 likes which did not turn into matches. Just stay away and don’t waste your money.
I know you might say just do not use them but if no one complains then they just go on and scam more people. So if my review save one person from paying this company then I am happy. The CEO of this company is a billionaire now and laughing all the way to the bank. The system is rigged
Horrible dating site for finding true love. I’ve been ghosted and meet losers on this site. Don’t waste your money.
I wanted to cancel 24 hours after signing up because I bought their chips along with signing up. I have sent them three emails and have not replied at all. They just ignore my request. I will have a copy of all correspondence if needed. Even if there was a no-refund policy, they should at least have been advised.
Probably better than average for the service it provides.
