| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 6/19/2007 12:43:32 AM | Apparently, I'm the 1 of 5 or 20% of the population that will not benefit from eHarmony's services! Anyone else have this experience?!! Am I destined to be single all my life???

agreed videogirl. but i'm not having much luck finding someone on my own and from what I've heard match.com is just a meat market online so, i thought i'd try eHarmony. But my hopes were dashed! Where do I go now? ?...destined to be single i think. | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 6/19/2007 9:48:43 AM | | What do you mean you're part of the 20% of the population that won't benefit from a dating site??? How do they come to that conclusion? Is it because there aren't matches within your area restrictions? I'm curious to know how they can basically say you wouldn't find ANYONE you're compatible with on that site...Seems strange to me! | |
|
| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 6/19/2007 10:03:10 AM | tee ... I have no idea where they came up with that number....my guess is they can't put me in one of their buckets!...I'd be curious to see who is on this site!!! Maybe it's for the best.
This is part of the message I received after spending 1/2 an hour filling out their stupid surveys! They could have told me upfront!!!
"Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service." | |

My greatest fears validated by a machine! So, should I believe the machine and toss in my hat now?? Tell me there's hope! | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 6/19/2007 4:52:26 PM | | When you first sign up you are not likely to have matches. After a few weeks they will come up with someone. I think it is a ripoff though. Don't pay the bloodsuckers! | |

Hah! They don't even want my money!
From what I'm hearing they match you up with someone just like you. I had a friend who was a teacher sign-up for this and she kept getting matches for teachers. How boring is that! | |

They will want you money eventually - a LOT of it. Don't pay.
Those bloodsuckers! | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 6/22/2007 10:44:52 PM | | Thats b.s just try too have move confidence in yourself. I dont know about you guys but i have noticed the men who find the girls have confidence and even though we as men can see through the smoke shield most women buy into this believing the dude. | |
|
| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 6/26/2007 7:41:37 PM | I was also rejected by eHarmony.
With that said, I was recently unable to make it work with what would've amounted to the female version of me, so I don't necessarily find it surprising that eHarmony would've had issues trying to match me with anyone. | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 7/1/2007 12:37:45 AM | | i think its a scam everyone i know that tried it fell into 5 % of people they cant help | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 12/1/2007 5:12:14 AM | | eharmony has a class action lawsuit against them by gay and lesbian folks.... the founder of eHarmony has close ties to the conversative religious group "Focus on The Family" From what I read FOTF even provided financial support in getting the site off the ground. One article I read went as far as accusing them of social engineering.... as they seem to focus more on christian matching or their version of moral and "wholesome" folks.... | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 1/6/2008 11:50:24 PM | There's no law that says a business owner has to cater to all potential customers. I think it is ridiculous . I'm gonna go sue a gay site for not having hetero matches for me.
That being said. I was booted off of eHarmony because I managed to sneak my e-mail address into my profile. Also what sucked was all the matches they kept sending me were on the other side of the country. If it takes me more than an hour to get to your house... Fuhgeddaboutit | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 5/23/2009 10:09:17 PM | Well, eHarmony has a special going this Memorial Day weekend; you can shop around for free and check things out.
Being curious, I started to fill out the hundred and fifty page personality assessment (okay, not that long but it feels like it) so I could find out stuff like, how much does it cost and how does it work.
At the end of the survey, I got the big "You're the 1 in 5 people eHarmony cannot help."
*Shock.*
Fine! So my poor friend is sitting near me trying to read, and I make HER fill out the questionnaire. EHarmony exhorts you at all times to be as honest as possible, but I refuse to allow her to make any smart-assed answers that might get her axed from the service upfront.
Even so, at the end of her survey, SHE got the big "You're the 1 in 5 people eHarmony cannot help" announcement, too!
So what do we have in common? Glad you asked. There were many questions about religion in the survey. Is religion important to you? How important? Is spending time at your church important to you? Is it important to you to have ties to your church community?
Neither my friend nor I are particularly religious, or tied to a specific organized religion. Other than that, we are *miles* apart in temperament, humor, and all the other things eHarmony supposedly screens for.
Conclusion? EHarmony is making so much money off church-going people, they don't even bother with "spiritual but not religious" types.
(No offense to religious people, I'm sure you're all very nice.)
So if you're not commited to your religion and find spending time in your religious community important, don't waste your time checking out eHarmony. Not even for free! | |

| Rejected by eHarmony!!!! Posted: 8/31/2009 3:31:18 PM | Wow, I'm kinda jealous I didn't fall into the 5% group... I must be much less progressive and much more average than I thought I was... blech!
I've been on eharmony for a couple weeks, now. The guided communication is too drawn-out, you can't write your own profile, you can't view your profile, you can't search for yourself (the matches come from them... however they get them, I don't know), they keep sending me "matches" who aren't in my preferred age or distance range. It's really hard to get a sense of personality from these things. And it is awfully expensive. I think eharmony stinks and I definitely won't be renewing my membership.
Kudos to you guys for getting rejected! It saved you time and money, to be sure... | |

In a sense I feel fortunate to be rejected.....however, to be informed by a dating website that I'm not good enough for them, is a bit of a letdown. | |
