Poll 35: How soon do you review your matches?

Posted by eharmonyblog on 14 March 2010 under Polls · Comments (0)

According to a past poll, when we have no reply from a match for a week, it’s most likely he or she is not interested. But how about newly-received matches? How soon can we expect that they view our profile? This month we’re going to find out:

When do you review your new matches and act on them? (Choose the best answer)

March 18-21: eHarmony’s Twenty-third Free Communication Weekend

Posted by eharmonyblog on 13 March 2010 under Seen on eH · Comments (0)

The paid-yet-have-a-free-weekend-every-month business model is working fantastically for eHarmony, because here it is again. According to Brad of Little Red Rails, the upcoming four-day event is for the US and Canada locales.

FCW ad

Get ready to turn your matching on (or off, depending on how you look forward to these things).

Tip: FCW participants cannot initiate, accept or reject FastTrack (aka “Skip to Email”), so don’t initiate FastTrack with them this weekend or communication would be stuck.

eHarmony shuts down eHarmony Marriage

Posted by eharmonyblog on 12 March 2010 under Site changes · Comments (0)

eHarmony Marriage (http://marriage.eharmony.com/) now redirects to eHarmony Advice. Offering an online alternative to marriage counseling was an innovative idea, but it never flew or impressed the company’s then-new VC shareholders. It was launched on February 6, 2006 in a press release. In late November 2009, the site quietly removed the link to it from its pages. Starting yesterday, the subdomain for it is gone.

eHarmony Marriage Homepage

“Underscoring its commitment to building happy and lasting relationships, this new marriage wellness service helps marriages flourish by empowering couples with the knowledge and tools to build a deepened sense of understanding, appreciation and connectedness.” –Press release of the launch

This commitment would be directed elsewhere.

Rest in peace.

EHB, on your side — March 2010 issue

Posted by eharmonyblog on 01 March 2010 under EHB, on your side · Comments (0)

eHarmony Blog is on your side. If you have a complaint with eHarmony and you have trouble getting through customer service, let us know. Don’t forget to give your eHarmony account email address and don’t forget to give us permission to chase eHarmony on your behalf.

Here is last month’s supply of consumer complaints against eHarmony posted on the leading gripe website ConsumerAffairs.com, plus our comments. Some of this month’s complaints are valid and justified, thus highlighted, while the rest are “buyer beware — read the fine print” or may be resolved with a call to customer service.

No, we are not eHarmony, we just like to help out or comment. If you have an opinion as well, post them at the end of the article. Continue Reading ☞

 

University of California Berkeley students find out UCB students are shallow (a comment on social experiments)

Posted by Pyke on 01 March 2010 under Opinion · Comments (2)

I took Sociology 101 in university and never liked it.

eHarmony Labs (and subsequently the official blog) shared this week the findings of four University of California Berkeley (UCB) psychology majors after their study on the “Relative Importance of Physical Attractiveness on Initial Attractiveness and Dating Online“.

The Labs piece, “A picture in your profile might get you a date, but not a relationship!” reads like a rebuttal to last month’s OKCupid Blog piece on the 4 myths of profile photos that was featured on the New York Times two weeks ago. The Labs piece reads like a half-baked “Hey, here’s proof that good photos don’t matter in a long-term-relationship dating site.”

I reviewed these students’ findings and, funny, I came up with different conclusions: Continue Reading ☞

    What I like about OkCupid is the use of 'ranged' questions as a statistical match of match, friend, enemy. I have a problem of calling it "personality". I believe that the underlying character is what keeps a relationship working, albeit it manifests itself in the personality. …
