Posted: 4/23/2006 7:09:37 PM | | I had the same trouble with "True" website. They want you to sign up, make it easier for the free trail, but to cancel, you have to call them, there is no way for you to cancel online. So, you have to call them, deal with an operator that will try to talk you into some sales speach, it's annoying!!! | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 7:10:05 PM | I tried E-harmony and I was clueless about it being a conservative Christian site. I'm a Christian and have no problems stating that and I'm not ashamed of my beliefs, BUT I'm not a fanatical type person. My experience there was simliar to what I've read here. The matches they made for me were men who were so fanatical that I felt like I would burn in hell for enjoying kissing a man. They say you have control, but you don't. When you do communicate with the matches, you quickly learn that either they lied when they took that test they have, or E-harmony has a screw loose when it comes to making matches...
The men I talked to on this site were just too fanatical and although all sites have draw backs, I will take my chances on this site or even place a personals add in the paper, before I will pay another dollar to a paying site..
Good Luck to all who are searching... | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 7:16:55 PM | I had tried eHarmony for the three or six month period a few years ago. I got the same that I got on every other internet site here in Southern California for that time period--a bunch of flakes.... I had one date for that $99.95 price...
So, for me, in 2006, POF is a better deal, and the Forums sections rock!  | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 8:28:03 PM | | Now you tell me?I waited 9 months for them to find me a match,every time I checked ,no matches for me.I had to really think I must be so unique and they were making one for me from scratch..still waiting, one problem tho,I never checked on it for the last year..Hoping they are creating a perfect man for me and they will get back with me this life time. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 8:50:24 PM | | I tired it one. They only gave me two matches, and one blocked me because supposedly she showed interest in me and I didn't respond. Odd thing is, I was new to the site and never even saw her before. Besides, I thought pre-arrange set ups were out dated in the country. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 9:50:19 PM | | I've never checked out Eharmony, and I never will. I've heard way too many stories about it being little more than a marriage market for conservative religious fanatics-not that there's anything wrong with being any of these things, it's just not what I'm looking for. Also, I'd rather be the one to decide who I do and do not want to contact, not some personality quiz. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 10:05:43 PM | | In my mid 40's I tried them and the only matches I got were men in their 60's. I reminded them that I wasn't interested in someone as old as my father to which they had the nerve to say, but you have a son still at home and will be lucky to meet anyone. Then they sent another profile of yet another 60-something man. | |

Posted: 4/24/2006 11:10:30 AM | | I think this is a great website but if push came to shove I might try [matches] because it is only 89 for 6 months which is not bad . I just hope you people have credit card protection and I guess the lesson learned is to photocopy date signed up, email of cancellation of free trial[within time frame] and photocopy the cc charge to cya | |

Posted: 4/24/2006 11:29:08 AM | | I've never used e-Harmony, but the horror stories I'm hearing sure do make me glad I never tried it! Actually, my bad experience was with Match.com. My photo was cropped by the Match.com folks (without my permission, and it was unnecessary for any further photo cropping to be done anyway!) to the point that it appeared that I was nude. In my photo, I was wearing a V-neck dress, but it was not revealing. I actually had considered joining Match.com, but after that, I cancelled my free membership and assumed my profile would be taken off as well. Apparently, it's still up and I cancelled my membership months ago. Boy, some sites will do anything to get a person's money! | |

Posted: 4/24/2006 9:32:35 PM | show your emails to the credit card company and they will credit you the money and charge it back to the site.
I agree...I tried them once...and after pages and pages of asking me the same thing 20 different ways, they decided i was compatible with a guy 20 years older than me, fat and bald living in Texas! I live in Vancouver. Yeah REAL compatible. | |

Posted: 4/24/2006 10:54:09 PM | | I think it depends on what you are looking for. My sister met her boyfriend of a year and a half on eHarmony. They live in the NYC and DC areas though, and I think it makes a difference where you live as to which sites are the best. Trends don't always hit the same place at the same time. PoF, for example has a large concentration of handsome Canadian gentlemen members. Match seems to have a larger southern component to it. As for it being a tool of Christian Conservatism, is this a suspicion or provable? I'm not a Christian myself, and while eHarmony has suggested several possible matches, very few of them have been Christian. If this is true about them I would like to know, I don't want to continue giving them my money. Especially since I'm not quite ready to meet anyone yet. | |

Posted: 4/25/2006 12:40:51 AM | | I didn't give them my credit card, but eHarmony told me there were no local matches after I did their rather time-consuming questionnaire. I began expending my area for matches incrementally only to be told there were no matches in a larger and larger area. By the time I was done, I had been told there were no matches in the whole US. It did find some later, but I think onyl about four, only one of whom was remotely interesting. None of them were with 1500 miles. I think the issue is all the questions about spirituality. I'm an atheist, materialist (in the philosophical sense) and liberal humanist. The site isn't aimed at me. | |

Posted: 4/25/2006 4:48:03 PM | You can add Yahoo Personals, Match Dot Com, and probably just about every other pay site to the list.
Most of their 'profiles' aren't even real, they're only there to get you poor sucker to subscribe. | |

Posted: 4/25/2006 9:06:06 PM | I"ve tried both eHarmony and match.com. I don't share most people's anger to match.com--I actually had pretty good luck on there and met have met some good people off of there. I have heard the stories about fake profiles and everything though, but I'd have to say that it went pretty well aside from not finding the "perfect woman". I don't really feel that I would have been doing better on my own though in that respect.
I really disliked eHarmony though. I hated how slow and tedious the process was. I had plenty of matches--actually too many of them for me to really work with well. That was my problem, I just didn't have time to read them as much as you had to and spend time really thinking about the questions. Towards the end of my 3 month subscription, I was so tired of it that it started to feel like homework going on there and answering essay questions. I did talk to one woman on the phone quite a bit, but we were both busy and never met. In all, I spent 100 bucks and never met anyone. Sometimes I just wasn't sure what to think.....seemed like I might be compatiable with someone, answers seemed OK....the other person never opened open communication, or I didn't because I wasn't sure what to say, etc. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 9:54:43 AM | | The few people i know who tried that site had no dates from it or not even anyone interested in meeting them . One guy was matched up with 2 girls who never even communicated with him when he wrote them. I have not heard anything good about that site. The site i have liked the most was yahoo personals. I tried it a while ago and met some people locally from it and they had real people who lived near me on it. I got way more action on yahoo then i do on here. This site seems pretty dead for me. But since its free and lots of fun i am keeping it :) | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 10:00:50 AM | | I tried eharmony...actually I signed up for their "3 months for the price of 1" offer and have about a month left on my membership. The default settings on the account are crappy...they choose the age range for you and you're also initially setup to auto-renew your subscription. But I did meet a guy on there who I'm very interested in, so I won't complain. I think the best thing about eharmony is the majority of people there seem to be looking for marriage, so that was a plus for me. One of the worst things: They don't let you select a body type and they don't place a lot of emphasis on uploading pics, so you could conceivably go through the whole Q&A process and then wind up meeting someone you find physically unattractive. | |

Posted: 4/29/2006 7:42:56 AM | No success on e-harmony either. Even with the promotional rates, it is too expensive for matches that also need to be current subscribers. I'd probably say it was okay if they let subscribers communicate with all of their matches even non-subscribers. I've tried it off and on over the years, but I won't again.
I never met any from that site. There were profiles that sounded familiar from other sites where I met the person briefly or talked long enough and it was certainly not a good fit. If one of those matches was really my match, I think I'll stay single!
My matches were terrible-- too conservative Christian sounding when I distinctly recall excluding those groups. I'm somewhat traditional minded sure, but that's not good fit for me despite what e-harmony thinks. Someone shopping for a "submissive" wife so he can lead and take charge would not be a match with me! Worse were those that wanted an instant marriage and family-- that was a bit much. Once I hit 30, all of a sudden I was getting match up with mid-40s. Perhaps the funniest was a man closed me out due to distance. He lived in a nearby beach town that's less than 15 minutes away!
I have to say PoF is my favorite. The price is right, Even though this site is a bit alternative for me. My mailbox isn't overflowing, but the people I've emailed have been nice (so far!) compared to other sites. And the forums are the best entertainment.
Way to go PoF!
