So I received an email, 14.95 a month for three months. From what I remember, it's usually 40 a month so that's great deal. However, I don't know anything about Eharmony other than it's meant for long term relationships.
I was considering Match but my good buddy signed up on it and didn't like it. He stated he filled all the surveys and questionnaire stuff. When he tried to message women in his area, he couldn't several times because the website stated they didn't match or he had to fill out more surveys and questionnaires.
A good friend of mine met his wife on there. he keeps begging me to try it but I don't like the idea that they match you with people who are the opposite sex version of yourself. I can only imagine what kind of matches that would mean for me! eeek!

Deal ends on 3/1...
I got some fantastic matches on eH, but they were all too far away even though I'd specified that I wanted matches to be within 60 miles. Many of my matches were 150+ miles away. I feel that eH does a much better job of matching personalities than the other sites do, but the distance thing really bugged me. I was a member for 6 months.
I do know at least 5 happily married couples who met on eH, though! My nephew and his wife met there and have been very happily married for 8 or 9 years. I just met someone last weekend who met her husband on eH and she said they're a perfect match. So it does happen.
I think it helps if you are located in or near a larger city, as the pool of candidates in your area is naturally larger. If you're willing to date long-distance, the world's your oyster. I tried long-distance dating in the past and found it too difficult to maintain. And I'm too old to pick up and move on a whim.

Seems weird because I created a profile on eharmony last week just to see what kind of profiles it matched me with, and since then I have had over 20 women attempt to "open communications" with me, and I did not even upload a picture
And yeah some of my matches lived around 100 miles away. Not going to happen.

I like it. I did match and okcupid and hated it. Eharmony will match me up quite often with people that are definitely too far away, but there's plenty in my area as well....that's fine, ignore the ones that are too far (what's so hard about that?)
Here's why I like eharmony: If I have interest, I click a couple buttons to let you know. I am so sick and tired of reading stupid boring profiles of people just so I can write a thoughtful/clever/funny/interesting email to a girl I have no idea is even interested in me and try to prove to her I actually read her stupid profile and not just looked at her pictures. So, you spend this time thinking of an email to write her, then the best part: She doesn't even respond to you.
Wow, that's fun. Who has time for that? What a waste of your life. If you're a guy, eharmony is the way to go. So easy, no wasted time. If you're a girl, any site will work for an insta-boyfriend.
I like Chemistry.com better than eharmony. I actually do not like internet dating anyway. So, I am probably not one to ask.
Thought eharmony sucked. No better than other sites that aren't so "sophisticated" in their technique. I've only done this a few times when they keep hounding you with "irresistible" specials. Don't think you can find interpersonal chemistry on the internet. I can't believe I'm posting this, but so what. Perhaps more disappointing was my experience with "Catholic Singles" which is obviously faith based. However, I did have a friend who found his wife on "J-Date" which is aimed at the Jewish community. I still think you meet your dates in "normal" interpersonal situations, where you "see" the person first and go from there.
