    I like eH because I, and anyone else cannot do the manual perusal. I also like eH because it "sort of" protects me from crazies. My pics only appear to a limited number of people at a limited time frame. The chances of that being discovered by enemies, crazy exes, etc. are low - co …

EHB, on your side — March 2010 issue

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 »

This is more of a value acquisition than a strategic one, and Singlesnet will predominantly be run as a standalone business. Nonetheless, the addition of the site’s considerable traffic to our existing aggregation of traffic in this single category should open new monetization opportunities for Match.com’s collective portfolio of domestic online dating brands.” –Greg Blatt, CEO of Match.com

As I’m writing this, NO ONE in the SinglesNet Forums cares. Go figure this out.

You’ve Got 4 Weeks to Claim eHarmony Didn’t Let You Hunt for Same-Sex Matches (And Win Free Money!)

Yay, free money!

If you attempted to use the eharmony.com website to be matched with an individual of the same sex but were denied the opportunity to do so at any time between May 31, 2004 and January 25, 2010, and were a resident of California at the time of your attempt, you may be a member of the Settlement Class entitled to make a claim from the Claim Fund.

See http://www.queerty.com/youve-got-4-weeks-to-claim-eharmony-didnt-let-you-hunt-for-same-sex-matches-and-win-free-money-20100225/ , dated 25 February 2009.

Just for today, February 24, eHarmony gives away 5-day free trials … with photos

Members who register today in eHarmony US, in eHarmony Canada and in Compatible Partners will get 5 free days to look, review, communicate and email their matches. No credit card is required.

IMPORTANT: You must register today and finish the questionnaire today, February 24, 2010.

5 Free Days

Everybody, this is just for today. I don’t think there’s an occasion and I don’t think eHarmony has done this thing before.
