EHarmony Complaint - What a Rip Off - Online Dating Service

Online Dating Service - Complaint
Review by PDbad on 2009-03-15
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- What a rip off. You waste a lot of time getting set up and then find our they want $60 a month. If their service was so good, they would not need a year long rate! I got several hits tat were nt good matches. Also, the whole thing is a scam - if you find a person you like, and they are a member - they can not reply.

The eHarmony folks are total pukes - these folks prey on lonely people and make it worse. If someone reaches out to you - you should be able to reply. How do you know if the person you mailed was not interest or jut not stupid enough to pay these folks $60 when anyone worth dating can meet someone by just heading to the local coffee shop.

I hope others will start to get it that these sort of services do more harm than good!

My friend tried a few of them, so have I actually. She did EHarmony and said it was the worst of them. The "you can't see or communicate with your interests" thing is really stupid and it takes a long time to get set up. It is among the most expensive, too. Good review and good luck to you.

I've always been grateful that I never had to try online dating. I know people who swear by it, though, and they either love or hate e-Harmony. I say save your money and get out there and find someone. Lots of fish in the sea and you'll eventually find one :) Good luck!

Isn't eharmony a business? And aren't businesses trying to make money? To exist, they have to make money! Paying $60 bucks is nothing when you compare the cost of what places like Great Expectations charge (thousands). There's always craigslist (free).

Yes, but businesses are not allowed to advertise one thing and present another. On eHarmony, they send you matches, you can't shop the profiles, and they decide who you communicate with. My friend was sent two profiles for $60. This is not something they advertise. On Yahoo.com, comparitively, charges $16 and you are allowed to see all profiles and talk to whomever you want.
