eHarmony

Does eHarmony work?  I have a lot of single friends on it.  I know one couple that got married from it.  That's about it.  Saw this article about eHarmony...  Does their algorithm work?  Like OkC, a lot of the questions are answered by the users.  So, let's say a guy believes he's adventurous, but he's really not.  That would impact the compatibility factor, wouldn't it?   However, eHarmony does expose users to a wide range of people you know are single (and basics, such as, age, city, etc), that probably wouldn't happen on your standard Friday night barhopping excursion.

    I think the purpose of EHarmony is to open yourself to the prospect of meeting people you wouldn't normally see as your type. Just like any other method of dating, you might meet a frog or two before finding a prince.

    I did EHarmony for a little while before I realized I wasn't quite ready to move on from my previous relationship. I liked their method, it was different and brought up a lot of questions and answers that are important and should be known. I recommend trying it out.

    You do have to pay for it to really do anything though, that's the downside. But if it leads you to a true relationship, it's probably worth the money. Just make sure you're really ready to meet someone and invest some time into making it worth your while.

      There are a lot steps involved...like a lot. Might as well sign up, right? I've already tried match.com, didn't like it. Ok Cupid is pretty good or pretty bad depending on the guy, hahaha. Plenty of Fish is just plain terrible.

    I put zero faith in matching algorithms. All this is saying is that the other person is the best match for you among the other people on the site, and the base size is anyone who fits into your basic criteria of age/location/education/etc.

    eHarmony can get very expensive and my friends that have used it found that there was a very specific breed of guy on there. The one's that yes were a bit better off and stable but at the same time all seemed to want a globetrotting model.

    I hated eharmony because it only matched me with people from miles and miles away from me. I live in Northeast Ohio and was getting matched with people in Toronto or Wisconsin so I demanded to cancel my account before my month was up cause I was not at all pleased.
    Maybe I didn't give it long enough. But it makes sense they lose money if they fine you a match, so why would they try and help you find a match quickly

      Spoke with some of my lady friends. We are all paying much less than our guy friends... I think if you are in an area with a lot more guys, eHarmony gives the ladies deep discounts
