You would get an email in say well my aol addy
and it was say
"you have an email from nic so and so and they want to meetyou
Only to open it up and there is nothing in there nothing
not a pic not a word from the person just his nic and thats it
and when i did contact the person I found out he did not even send it true did??
Noone hardly had pics on there it was so oddI would say 99 percent no pics

And they ask you for so much info only to send you men that do not fit it at all...
Oh I did get one email sorry lol

true.com...STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!!!

I didn't get rejected from eharmony, but didn't like it either.

HOWEVER True.com has to be the biggest scam dating site in the history of internet dating since Al Gore invented it. Hell, true.com even pays dearly for Google placement on *this* site, claiming to be "free!". They pepper their matches with shills that send you automated "Did you try to view me ?" spams for 40+ days. You take up their trial offer after they claim to have hundreds of matches in your area, where there are in fact only a nominal number.

The big kicker is that they claim to screen for felons and married people. That site is such a blowhard repository of fecal matter that they are more likely to sell your e-mail addy to the Chinese viagra people than ever query it against a criminal database.

Eharmony may have billing issues. but it's a saint compared to true.com. That is all.

I agree with the matching described by others here... I too prefer younger men and they seemed to only match me up with men 10 years older than me... The other stinky part of this is that they send your profile around even after you have ended your term with them, especially if your profile was one with lots of requests for communication.

I think Eharmony is full of crap... just my humble opinion.

I guess I might be about the only one who actually had a GOOD experience with eHarmony. I struggled through the long questionnaire--and I'm glad I did--and had contact with several people before I met the one that eventually ended up in a 2-year relationship. I think the difference between them and all the other "picture and a profile" sites is that most other sites, including POF, make no pretense about 'matching' anyone with anyone. You do it yourself based on a picture and a profile. And, as we all know, there are many lies in the profiles and the pictures (I did not know that Cheryl Ladd has a profile on a competitor's site! Amazing!)

Anyway, I believe that if you really want to get matched with someone based on personality and other important characteristics FIRST, eHarmony is a pretty good way to start. Of course, the details still have to be worked out, just like in any relationship. And that includes the height/weight/physical attraction thing. It's just that starting there often leads to disappointment and disillusionment.

And you can change your age range, as long as it meets a 6-year range, as I recall. So if you want young, you can have young! Or if you want old, ditto.

Now where's that Cheryl Ladd-wannabe.....

eHarmony sends-Me a Dozen-or-so "Matches" , Every Day. None of the "Matches" appear to have Much if-Anything in-common with-Me. I've never paid-Them a Cent , and don't intend-to. I'll stick with the Free WebSites like P.O.F. and That Other One that the Aquarium won't let Us mention in Our Messages.

I agree. Don't listen to that con-man Dr.What's His Name on TV. There is no way filling in a "Psychological Profile" is going to find your "soulmate." Ask any psychologist. Guaranteed ? The only guarantee is what P.T.Barnum said.
as for me, all I got matched up with was over-weight ex-school teachers who were only a short-haul jet-flight away. Most of the rest of the women I contacted didn't respond. Like 99%. Talk about an ego-boost, even on POF, you are lucky if you get a response. You feel like a comedian on stage with a tough crowd...Hello? Is this thing on? I know you are out there, I can hear you breathing.....The other 1% contacted me, probably out of desperation. If I wanted to date someone who resembled my mother I would have asked her out long ago. And I think I am rather articulate and not bad looking and can spell and I went to university, not that it should matter. Maybe I expect too much from these sites. It seems like everyone else is having such luck and having a great time dating all kinds of women. Well I have been standing on the "platform," as someone below has said, off and on over the past 2 years and guess what,? I think they discontinued the train service.

I have been on this site for sometime now. It is by far the best!!!! I have met a lot of people but Im very selective and just wont settle. As for E harmony, I did join a few yrs ago, for 1 year...I think they withhold the mail and answers to questions....Trust me this one is great....you just have to hang in there, be selective and keep fishing!!!!

Another one that smells like a rat is "The Relationship Company." Those jerks won't give you a price quote on the phone, and will only give information if you visit their office (which turned out to be a waste of gas--these jerks wanted $2000 minimum!). Steer clear of anyone who won't give a price quote on the phone.

What most people don't understand, is that, after going through all the profile crap that they require "in order to match you" - you've spent $40/month for THEM to match YOU (you don't get to choose - it's blind "trust") - - and, either they never do - or it is someone from so far off, it wouldn't make sense. I waited three weeks for my first "MATCH" - he didn't think so, and then another month for the second, meanwhile paying their blood money for NOTHING! The second match AGAIN was 780 miles away and wasn't interested enough to even answer........... It's most disappointing . . and the people who are asked to be courteous and at least make some acknowledgment that they were matched, are so rude as to NEVER acknowledge or answer . . . such a disappointment for the "Christian-based" site.... I CONCUR - THEY RIP YOU OFF - and you've got to pay!!! CalamityJanie/plenty of fish

I've been scammed by E+HARM+MONEY site... after I canceled with them after 6 days after signing up with them they charged my card twice and did not want to refund the money. I had to submit a chargeback to get my money back...

You mean out of 400 guys/gals you found none? And you canceled because you too cheap? Perhaps they were the ones who canceled you? You shouldn't show those big naturals, then perhaps you'd find someone genuine, you know what I mean. Come down a lil' bit, you'll find plenty...

I tried to join that site a few years back and at the time I was separated , so I spent all that time filling out the stupid survey and they rejected me because I was not Single or Divorced .
A couple years later after I Divorced I tried again ..I could not get those idiots to change my status from Separated to Divorced , so I gave up .
If they charged your credit card without authorization , you can file a dispute with the credit card company and have it removed .

Have to chime in here.

I did the eHarmony thing. I mean, it was only a few bucks and no big deal. At the very least, I figured, I would meet someone interesting.

Oh, how wrong I was!

About 90% of my matches were 5'7" or 5'8". Now this is all well and good, nothing wrong with me who are that height, but

I AM A 6' TALL WOMAN!!!

The shorter guys didn't want me either!

When I wrote to their "customer service" center complaining about all the short matches, they wrote back and basically said I didn't know what I wanted and they did because some ya-hoo wrote a bunch of questions for me to answer (limiting multiple choice questions I might add) and now these people sitting in their flowing robes in their ivory tower know better than I do what man will make me happy.

Can anyone say arranged marriages?

So, I cancelled, but still had some time left on my membership. So I decided to play around a little. Each day I changed something on my profile to see if my matches changed (hey, they were sending me a bunch of short guys who weren't interested - it wasn't like it mattered). I went through the entire list of religions, changed my eye color, hair color - basically I had some fun with it - made lemonade out of all those lemons!

Hi, just a few words about my experiences with eharmony! I signed up two different times(seems like I forgot about the first time).
The first time I never met anyone who responded to me and I only received bios that they sent to me. I was never allowed to choose anyone to respond to that I wanted to get to know. The second time was my own fault for signing up, I saw an ad on tv and it was so enticing that I did it again!!! Don't be fooled. Irispink

I have been on many sites and I have to say that one (e-harmony) has to be the worst! 98% were scammers. Luckily, I paid a low price to be on for 3 months but I vowed NEVER to return to them again. I agree, people should stay away from that site!

Did it once,They sent me 10 to 20 matches a day during the trial period and two of whoI acutually I and they mentioned it to me during the week of which We are social friends however would never date for that matter.
The rest were out of the area and also if they decline you for anyreaason you may never contact them again it should be mandatory that a pic be in the profile,
Then they hooked me with the timing thing when I tried to cancel,and I said oh well i'll let it ride I got next to nothing for matches once my money was credited.
I called and went thru the we can't do anything routine till I sent a letter to the state consumers office in the Attorney generals office,then my credit card pmt was returned.
Did you ever notice that they say they match people only by compatibility and in the ads they are all similar looks and of same financial standing. I never see a handsome man with a not so average gal or vice versa or a poor looking guy with a wealthy woman.just an observance

E+HARM+MONEY An apt description of those scammers. They don't use any genuine matchmaking system that I could see. I kept being matched with people either too far away, or overly religious or Republicans, none of which appeal to me in any way! I even stated in my profile that I would not date a conservative or someone who was overly religious, and they STILL sent me these guys who were bad matches for me.

I'll stick with Plentyoffish, you can't beat the price, and I've made lots of great friends on this site even if I haven't met Mr. Right through it. I consider POF a great success in bringing people together, even as friends. Friendships enrich a person's life as well as if not more than a significant other. Kudos to POF!!

Well of all the posts i should have read a few hours ago.... I signed up on there today and really wish i had not spent the money. I figured that must be where the people serious about meeting someone must go because "some" are filled with people just looking for attention from 9-5.....

5 matches within 120 miles... WTF... only 2 have photos, and are not really my type. i should have bought a tank of gas with my money.., *%&%$^%&$#

Sorry to be the "Odd Man Out" but I had great results with E -Harmony, made some really great friends, had a six month membership, got hundreds of matches, yes it is expensive, but when my membership was up, I cancelled and walked away cause I found POF which is GREAT! E-Harmony really puts ya through the test, if you can answer as many questions as you have to, you will meet your match ONLY if you and them are honest in the answers. Be that as it may, I would rather come to POF as it is run so much better. To each their own, some good, some bad, POF is where I will stay!
