“First up: eHarmony” (a review)

Posted by eharmonyblog on 22 February 2010 under Reviews · Comments (0)

“I wait with baited breath, though, to hear back from Fashion Man and any other ‘perfect matches’ who, you never know, could turn out to be, well, perfect. After all, I’ve paid an extortionate amount of money in advance. I’m too tight to give up now.” — Valentine Taylor of soFeminine, UK.

Chemistry.com = epic fail?

Posted by SingleGuyInNC on 06 December 2009 under Opinion § Reviews · Comments (10)

A long time ago, in a dating galaxy far, far away from eHarmony…

…I filled out the Chemistry questionnaire and profile.

Sometime ago, I think about 6 months back, Chemistry.com started to offer free weekends, just like eHarmony, on roughly the same 6 week schedule.  So, I figured, what the heck, I’ll give it a try.  I gave it a try again, several times during each free weekend, the last one being this weekend.

During these free weekends, not one of them yielded a match going to their “open communication”.  In fact, I think maybe at best, two matches ever responded.

In my opinion, Chemistry.com just doesn’t make the grade.  It is overpriced compared to eHarmony when you look at multiple month memberships.  The website is clunkier to use: first you have to “show interest”, then you have to actually click to send your first questions.  Seriously?

eHarmony Disharmony: eHarmony’s Misleading Ads

Posted by eharmonyblog on 04 December 2009 under Opinion § Reviews · Comments (0)

(Republished in entirety with permission from Alice Merrypole, dated 4 December 2009. Article source: Articlebase)

A friend of mine said she was thinking of joining eHarmony, because they have such a high marriage rate – 2% of marriages in the US are of people who met on eHarmony, according to their TV ad, she said. I found this statistic remarkable and started doing some research to find out if it was true.

Not only did I find the ads had been deemed by authorities to be misleading, I also found some other interesting facts about the company which, all added up together, made my friend think twice about joining the site herself

Tired of the monotony of their dating lives, they embark on The Experiment. Is Mr. Right just a click away?”

Anway, perhaps enemies list is not the best example, because Nixon enemies were well known and reasons pretty transparent. However they were originally compiled in secret and brought up at the Watergate trial. How …

    It might be interesting to see how this poll ends up in alignment with the last poll. For example, suppose the two polls end up contradicting, e.g., people don't want the whole world finding their profile on the site, BUT they want to be able to browse profiles. What I don't like about this poll …
