I tried eHarmony for a short period of time and met a very nice man. We emailed for awhile. He lived a long ways off and I had no intention of moving where he lived. We met when he was passing through town. Nothing wrong with him. I told him he'd make a nice catch for any woman but I wasn't planning to move.
Afterwards I corresponded with a few other men. The problem with eHarmony is that I got very bored going through the question answer sessions, over and over again, the same rigamarole...
I quit.
Meeting people in real life is still my favorite method of dating.
What kind of experiences have you had with the eHarmony site. Good, bad, a little bit of both. Let me know.
Weird.
I registered when my husband and I were separated, just to get the profile and was told I could not join because I was still married. This impressed me so I emailed asking what I needed to do once my divorce was final to use the service. I was told I'd have to produce proof of my divorce and give them the judges name so they could check. OKAYYYYY. So I emailed back this question: "If I had lied and said I was single you would have taken my word for it but because I was honest, you won't take my word once I'm divorced?". To which they emialed back, affirmative.
Apparently because I told the truth about being separated, I'm not not trustworthy enough to sign up when I do become single?????? I'm still trying to figure out that logic out.
Silly me, I thought I'd just have to let them know when the divorce is final. Sorry, but I'm not providing the judges name. If you think I'm that untrustworthy that I'd lie (I mean after all I told the truth about being separated so you now have to assume I'll lie....??????? don't get it), I really don't want the service.
So people who lie get to continue using the service because they won't question them but people like me who tell the truth can't be trusted to tell the truth in the future??????? So we have to present proof of being single????? Weird.
You'd think if I told the truth the first time, they'd trust me. Apparently not. I went from impressed at their integrity of not accepting people who are only separated to baffled no one has a brian working there in about three seconds after reading that email. I don't get why I'm untrustworthy because I told the truth. Apparently, that makes sense to them.
However, I do know a couple who met through eharmony.
Wow, you certainly don't waste your time. Kind of strange considering the big hoopla you made about him "cheating" while separated.
Getting a personality profile isn't cheating. They were offering free profiles so I thought I'd get one. I would have signed up for one if married and he was still living here. I just would have told him first what I was doing. It would have been interesting to see if they would have matched us :lol.
I joined Match.com but only because I had to get a copy of his profile for my lawyer after a few friends called to say "HAVE you SEEN what he's posted?". Even his lawyer chewed him out over that one.
That was an interesting experience. I kept getting messages from guys 10-15 years younger than me. Apparently looking for a maternal figure....I didn't answer any of them. Just made sure my STBX wasn't posting anything he shouldn't have been.
Well, long questionnaires might be a pain in the rear once, but can save a lot of headache down the road (provided they're answered honestly).
That's a big "if" (or in your case, "provided"). I don't know how accurate people's responses are to those surveys are, but I don't have much faith in those answers. I still shake my head at my friend's expereience. He was supposed to go out with a girl he met on-line that turned out to be ~100 pounds heavier than what her profile and pic lead him to believe.
Woohoo, my post count is currently at 2,600. Geeks and hackers will realize the significance of that number.

Oh please, let's not open that can of worms!

It's not like you can hide it. Or do they hope to go on a crash diet once they start something online...
