I am on my 3rd bout with E harmony. Both times I paid I ended up getting my money back before the 7 days were up. $49.99 is a lot to pay for no matches.
Absolutely nothing for over a year and a half. E-H sent me a message the day before V Day saying I had two matches. Very convenient, eh? And a coupon code for 3 months for the price of one that conveniently expired on V Day. I think they wanted me to join or something *shrugs*
The first guy seemed ok, the second guy lived too far away and all his answers pointed to 'I LOVE MONEY'. So i didn't feel like that one match was worth signing up for. And neither of them have contacted me, so they are not paying members or they haven't checked the site.
The benefit of E-H is that any man that finishes that dang long profile is serious about finding someone.
In my opinoin, the downsides far outweigh the benefits:
- Cannot search through profiles
- Have to wait for E-H to send matches to you-- you could get 3 in one day or none for a month
- Sometimes the people sent to me was nothing I had said I was loooking for. E-H even threw some people at me that lived nowhere near me, even though I had put location as a must have.
I think there are other sites that cost less and give you more freedom, like being able to write your own introduction- like True.com, match.com, yahoopersonals.com, Twofakind.com. Peoplemeet.com is ok but I got messages from everywhere in the US except for the area I LIVE in.
It's what you make it. It can be fun entertainment if you don't take it too seriously.
Word to the wise--- don't pay a THING until you find more than one person you would not mind paying to talk to. Paying right out and then doing a search and finding nothing is a frustrating waste of money.
