   It seems to me that this blog is doing work that eHarmony service reps should be doing. I am not following that closely because I am not trying to become a customer. In all honesty it shouldn’t be rock science to use a promotion code and neither should be all that complicated to quit and get a refund.. Just one more little wrinkle showing that they are not customer friendly. But heck everyone is reading their hype instead of their and conditions or the technical aspect of it. It shouldn’t be this complicated.

   Annoymous1, nearly five months ago this blog published your story and what the company did to you. Do you remember that? If you want to see more of a certain “type” of articles here, I have to inform you that you will have to write those articles yourself. This is a open-submission site, ma’am, so its writers should always feel free to write about what they want to write about. You have to respect this, as much as others must respect that you write what you want to write about.

   If you don’t like what we’ve been having for dinner recently, it’s one thing to complain on the dinner table about it, it’s another thing to volunteer to cook dinner next time. I hope you understand.

   As evidenced by the “EHB, on your side” series, many people don’t understand how to enter codes, cancel their account or request a refund. Please understand that you are better at this than some people, but at the same time some people are better at attracting the opposite sex than you.

   My comment was more a reflection on eHarmony themselves then what the blog should be doing. And some of my reflections have to do with the fact that eHarmony is not a good communicator by that I mean they put their terms and conditions in fine small print and send out puffery claims which are contradicted on their “terms and condition.” The main reason in my opinion a secondary unofficial blog like this has to help with promotion codes is because eHarmony service reps are probably not doing their job and the codes are not clear.

   As for me I would rather not go into my relationship with eHarmony except to say that I naively trusted them to be what they claim to be.

   And as for how good I am at attracting the oppositie sex, I think that comment is out of line. I will give you the benefit of the doubt in thinking that you were just making some comparisons. Again, I am reflecting what I see. Btw there are some customers on there who have been there around 10 years. One rep told me her sister was still looking after 7 years.

   eHarmony is still probably going to stay afloat. But they have taken some falls , they have had to form a entity like Compatible Partners and they have law suits. And while they probably have a good legal department, nothing in life is infalliable so we will see.

   Finnally, I was not criticizing anyones intelligence. After all I trusted them. And so it goes.

   eHarmony and other dating agencies would go out of business if everyone was great at attracting the opposite sex. I put up a silly excerpt on this blog yesterday about two police clerks (women) who lost their job because they look at men in the police classfied file. One clerk said she hadn’t dated in twenty years and wanted to sure she was on the right track. I am not that different than anyone else. Although it has not been twenty years.

   Police records clerks fired after searching for dates
   In a truly “what were they thinking” move, two records clerks at the Fort Myers Police Department were fired after reportedly misusing a classified search database to look up people one woman was considering dating. On March 21, 2009, clerks Carol Bass and Helen Lehman were let go after learning that Bass was researching potential dates on people who responded to her dating service ad. Her excuse? “I haven’t dated for 20 years, so I thought well, this might be a way to get information before I make a move.”

   Anyway, who know maybe she was recently divorced, widowed, in the convent or maybe it had been twenty singles years.

   I read an interesting article about a married couple who went on eHarmony pretending to see if they would be match up and they weren’t. This just shows how relying on eHarmony view on compatibility can mess with your head. And again there is their disclaimer. But maybe the problem was they weren’t blood kin. I heard a brother and sister were match up. But a lot of good it did them. I must say though that when I was match up with my former dentist I really begin to wonder. It was just plain strange. Again who want to have a lip lock with someone who did a root canal on you. I imagine there can be a scenario where a student could be match up with a professor or employee with a supervisor. This just shows that a personality test like this does not take in account all variables. I believe this couple were happily married. And so it goes.

   Today, I help the Singles Volunteers of Austin get packets together for CROP. I have not done a whole lot with them they seem to be primarily a social club. I guess that is all right as long as they do volunteer for different causes. I am shy and I am not comfortable at parties especially with people I don’t know. I think that looking for someone later in life is uncharted. And perhaps you end up doing different things like trying to be part of group like I mentioned or even get on these telephone lines or try an dating agency like Singlesnet. I do not think anyone has the answer. And that is why I think these dating agencies should be held to a high standard. However, I do not think anyone of them has the answers. I think that the most ethical thing to do is be honest about they can and can not do and also identify their niche. And by that I mean customer base. eHarmony sends out advertising strategies to almost everyone when they are not for eveyone. Anyway, personally for now I would rather not get aboard any internantional or big corporation. Match send me out a list of twelve people when two of them are from Texas. I am skeptical of all of them. I will say for Singles.net they do seem to have a lot of local singles. And that is why I stay on them.
