Designingwoman,

I am a Christain conservative and I also got burned on the site. I quit on the third day and demanded my money back and they assured me it was in the works.

"Daddy knows best" is truly a good description. It is a big hoax and if it is run by "Christian Conservatives", I'd love to show up at their meeting and give them a piece of my mind.

They are not just against liberals. They are for their rigid rules and they show no flexibility at all.

LOL gotta laugh at how so many post these threads to bash another site. I think there has been one for just about every other site on the net by now. Oh yeah, this one is perfect though

As far as 'free trial' goes, beware of ANY site offering ANY service, when they immediately need a credit card or check card# to activate your "free" trial. Again, this applies to a multitude of internet entities, not just dating sites. Expect your account to be charged. Yes, in most cases you can get your CC company or bank to do a chargeback,if you have the time to deal with the hassle.
As far as the effectiveness(or lack thereof) of any dating site, hey it's a crapshoot.So is meeting people at bars, church, the bingo hall...WHEREVER!! What I will give matchcom and yahoo credit for, in my own case, is making some wonderful (platonic) friends and a couple of fairly longrunning "epenpal" contacts. Oh yeah there have been dates, a few "almost relationships"(LOL) but by and large I hold the friendships and penpals to be the better value so far...

i was on eharmony for a while as well....i consider myself a fairly bright woman. several times they matched me with men they couldn't even spell simple words. my favorite was when they matched me to a country bumpkin....his hero in life was his friend bubba because "he gets all the hot chicks and he drives a "bitc@in camero"

pof has any other site beat by a long shot.....

I agree with grog27. I also had "issues" with eharmony. I signed up for the 3 month plan, no problem. I spent the 45 minutes to an hour filling out the questionaire. Met a few nice men (not much of a selection for men in the state of Alaska on there). I wasn't really happy with the way things were going.

I sent many emails asking to cancel my membership at the end of the 3 months and they continued to try billing my credit card.

I was thankful that the CC was working with me after I proved that I had on several occasions asked them to cancel my membership.

It took me close to 2 months to get everything straight.

Stay away!!! It was about the money, not their statement of trying to help others find a connection.

TedJMill wrote: I did the eHarmony questionnaire and was told I was in the small percentage they couldn't match. They never said anywhere that it was specifically a conservative Christian dating site, though; I didn't find that out until later. It would have saved a lot of time if they did say that right at the beginning; I would have know it wasn't appropriate for me.

Same here. I always suspected I was unmatchable, but now I'm absolutely, positively sure I'm unmatchable on a site run by some religious nut. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I tried to join them a couple of years ago and after doing their long "personality profile" they told me rather unceremoniously and rather matter-of-factly that they didn't have ANYONE that was compatible with ME. Kind of made me wonder what was "wrong" with me........well, here I am still single, 2 years later..........maybe there was something to that after all.

Hmmm? I tried it once...trial period...ridiculous "matches"...cancelled before trial period expired...no problems.

I DID post, last week, that CBS Entertainment Tonight featured a big story on how GREAT their site is and how SUCCESSFUL. HUH? WTF?!?
I think Warren has big bucks invested in CBS...what other reasons would inspire them to tout EHarmony and not give all the other sites the same courtesy? He also is very big and powerfully involved in a large Fundamentalist group out of Colorado. He is a smart cookie. Predator.

Probably the American "Family" Association which is both a fundamentalist group and a disgusting hate group! I am glad you mentioned that. I refuse to support any organization that supports such organizations that use false Christianity to promote hatred towards people.

I heard a lot of complains about that sitebnut other ones are there for money too.
They say they are free but you can't write anyone unless you pay. What good does it do to search for profiles when you can't send emails? That "free" thing is so misleading.

Same thing happened to me...I was on it for 6 months, not ONE single match that was even remotely close to me or even in any sort of atmosheric realm of the sort of man I would even think of dating. What a nightmare after all the damn hassle involved in even getting on the stupid thing in the first place!

I was on e-Harmony and the only contacts I was given were American - had to wonder if they were genuine or staged.

If you think eHarmony is bad try Mate1, especially if your a guy. Women can have their profiles for free, while men must pay $50/month. I've had better luck on LoveHappens.com which is $20 for 6 months then its "paid-up" and you can still contact people just the same (as a full member). I've met women on their averaged out to be 2 or 3/month, partially because I was working 10-12 hours 6 days/week at my job.

I'm a liberal christian but I would not use eharmony, heard too many negative things about it from sources other than this forum. I have however had some good contacts from match.com.

Glad to know I am not the only one who found nonharmonious to be a big expensive joke! Wow, I think I got a total of 4 matches and most of them lived so far away there was really no way to ever get together. Hooray for pof....

what i encountered from them is their 7 day free trial was charged to my credit card from day one, on day 2 i had found this out called them and told them that how can something be a free trial when your billed from day one, then the trial of getting it taken off started and it never was removed, sure they cancled it afterwords but ive not got my money back and all i did get is a offer for a three month membership for the price of one........so yea stay away....

Yes the people in the E harmony ads are paid to be together, they are NOT real couples, my lil bro is into acting & modeling & the site where I get some of his auditions, had one for E harmony commercials, It said need average people to be put together in couples for ads. So those are not success stories, and now I know why the people are so ugly, the ask for "average" people in the audtions lol!! I find there are alot more attractive guys on POF than any of the sites where I signed up but never paid, Thank goodness. I tried Match Perect Match E harmony and even Military Friends, but never got one guy I'd consider dating so I just never paid a $.
