eHarmony Reviews

I wish I saw all these comments before I wasted over 200 on a subscription to eHarmony! I’m new to the online dating scene and I saw their ads on tv and figured with the amount of “matches” they claim happen every day I thought I would have a pretty good chance at finding someone to talk with and possibly connect! I was so wrong!! I believe I’ve been on there for a couple of months and not one man has responded to my messages! I know I am not model thin or beautiful but I also don’t think I’m huge or ugly!!! I’m on 2 other pay apps, which are way cheaper, and I get messages and would like to meet me every day! I understand their point of view about, "It’s how you answer the questions, blah, blah!" It’s **! Save your money, you can feel better about yourself on way more dating apps that are cheaper! Nothing like throwing away money and your self esteem.

I haven't had an account for over 3 years with eHarmony, and in the last 2 days I have received 2 emails stating that they have closed my account due to suspicious activity/fraudulent biography. 2nd email stated that I have been talking to a man named John from Indianapolis, (I live in SC) which is NOT true, and that he is basically undesirable. They said that I need to stop talking to him immediately!!! Of course they then say that they cannot disclose the reasons why they are doing this, so my first thought is..... someone fraudulently is using my info on eHarmony.

I am completely new to the online dating world. I dislike every minute of it. Either the profiles are fake or they are not paying for service. All of the matches I received were all way too far away even when I set my profile and or none of them responded. I cancelled my subscription within a day of loading the app and lost $150.00 in the process I will not get back.

I've been on every dating site, Match, eHarmony, all the apps. The apps are free, they make sense, these pay for sites don't. Perhaps the users are serious, but I have rarely encountered users. Here's the deal, eHarmony allows anyone to make a profile, whether they are paying or not. These profiles are listed and allow eHarmony to inflate their numbers. What does this mean for you, a paying customer? It means lots of the "matches" they send you, are not paying customers and cannot see or read your messages. I have checked and found less than 20% of the people I send messages to have even read them, which to me indicates one of two things; the profile is inactive and no one checks it or the profile is a free profile that cannot see messages. Either way, it's a poor experience for me.

I signed up for eHarmony and in one month was sent only three matches in my city, all of whom were 10 years too old or 10 years too young. I had about 75 matches within 60 km even and they WERE ALL too young, too old or completely not what I was asking for. Then came the "What ifs?" They were mainly 1,000 km away and nothing close to what I was expecting. I sent friendly notes to two potentials and they did not read my notes or respond. Not unusual but I noticed one guy had photoshopped his photos to look like he'd been in London, and two of his photos didn't look like the same person. I cancelled after one month and plan to spend my time volunteering in my town and striking up a conversation with friendly looking guys at the Starbucks near my house. Better way to connect with real people and save a few hundred dollars too.

They trap you in a contract!!!! Literally knew it wasn't going to be right for me after the second day and reached out to them 2 times and they refused to cancel the subscription. So do not sign up for any plan. It traps you for at least 3-6 months.

I am a good looking man but on the inside I am highly unique in a mostly negative way. As far as the rest of the population goes I have the rarest personality type in the world, INFJ. As a man this makes me very effeminate in that I like things women like such as naked cuddles and talking for hours. I am highly sensitive highly empathetic very prone to anxiety. I don't really have any friends preferring to spend all my time with one woman. On my profile I pretty much said these things in hopes of driving most room in a way which is exactly what happened. I ended up dating a local woman who has an INFP personality, Myers-Briggs inventory if you are curious about your own type. We are a perfect match. We can spend all day naked in bed just talking and snuggling and a couple other things LOL but mostly the first two. We both love nature, can talk for hours and time flies when we are together.

I signed up in eHarmony in hope of finding someone who is compatible (age, religion, etc). However while I was working on my profile, someone tried to send me message (highly likely a fake account) and lured me into signing then deactivated the day after. I got busy and forgot to cancel until the 4th day, which literally I was a few hours late to cancel, so I called customer service for a refund (one year for $439), or at least partial refund. I was told I am not allowed to. The matches they were sending were beyond the age limit and most of the people contact me were simply not the type of match I described in my profile.

I’m not a complainer but my experience with eHarmony has been extremely disappointing. I filled out all the questions and had a profile started before I shelled out any money. I got 40+ “matches” in just a few days. They lured me in and once I subscribed, I saw that those “matches” were not even remotely appealing to me. Dirty, unshaven, disheveled—many of them downright unhealthy looking. Not. Even. One. And even worse, eHarmony controls the matching. Match.com isn’t all that great either but at least you can do your own browsing. I feel completely ripped off, my money taken and I’ve gotten nothing in return.

I have been on eHarmony for about 4 months (I bought the one year plan - a big mistake). They don't have enough matches. I have had pretty much the same matches from day one. Maybe one or two have been added since. Whenever I hit the match button, the comment is no matches yet, but come back later. Or widen my search with age or distance. Widening my age or distance search is not of interest to me. That won't solve the issue of not enough matches from this site. It will just give me more people than I'm not compatible with. I have had only correspondence with one person. They have now withdrawn from the site. In hindsight, I should have only tried it for 3 months but don't waste your money. They don't have enough people on this site to match people with.

This company should be charged with fraud. Take you money, deceive that you will get a result and provide nothing. I have sent off countless contacts and got not one response in three months. Appalling. Obviously full of fake profiles.

I just used discount code ** to join e-harmony (3 payments of 65CAD instead of 99CAD). The status screen on the top right said 'discount code applied'. The pre-transaction screen showed me paying the discounted amount. Once I hit proceed with the transaction, the regular, un-discounted amount was shown in the status and the same amount taken from my account. I have called my bank and they said there is no way of blocking the transaction without calling eHarmony.

I have had an eHarmony account twice about 4 years apart - both times I had to cancel my subscription 3-4 times over the course of 8-12 months before they would stop charging my credit card (finally because I would cancel it and get a new one - then they would say, "Ok your profile is closed and you won’t be charged further") - neither time did they refund the unauthorized charges and denied my attempts to close the account. I would choose any other dating platform if I were you. The matches I found on eHarmony were also not a good fit either time which was surprising. My best matches were 4-6 hours away. And to my surprise there were just as many “hook up only” profiles on there as POF... so don’t be fooled into thinking they are more serious just because they paid for the account - they just aren’t as young, lol.

I joined eHarmony and Match at the same time. In four months I have had one prospect contact me through eHarmony. The only updates I have had were if someone posted a change to his profile. The images at the top showing my matches have not changed since I joined! My account seems nearly frozen in time. During that same time, with Match.com I have had dozens of matches, with the same profile photo, match criteria and profile narrative. On Match.com I may get as many as 20 or more profile views on any given day, with new matches to consider all the time. Every single day I check Match.com since there is something new to consider. I regret spending money on eHarmony. Caveat emptor!

I signed up with eHarmony for 6 months since that seemed to be the shortest sign up time period available. I would be considered to be an above average attractive, educated young woman and after having been on the app for 2 months - I have yet to have a single date. 99.9% of the people who contact me are those with VERY different sensibilities and not compatible. Most of the messages aren't even actual sentences but rather eHarmony generated auto questions.

This is from a customer who used Eharmony close to 10 years ago, then returned four years ago and has used it the past 12 months. At one time, I loved this site. It helped me to meet someone who has remained a special part of my life, and I literally can't imagine my life without this dear friend in it. I was a real believer. Then I returned to using Eharmony one year ago and was appalled. The site is rampant with fraudulent, scammer profiles. Matches would be pulled constantly with emails sent advising that it was deemed a suspicious or fraudulent profile.

I had a paid membership on this site for two months, from approximately February 15, 2019 to April 15, 2019. I did not renew thereafter but my profile was still active. Today they closed my account for unknown reasons and sent emails to everyone I ever interacted with that I am some kind of scammer. Well, I soon found out the reason, it seems that a woman I went out once seven weeks ago fabricated some kind of story about me because I did not call her back. I know because she wrote me to gloat about it. I could care less that they closed my account, it is a terrible site with few matches less than three or four hours away, but impugning my character to others with no factual basis is too much. These people are the worst.

So I signed up for a single month and decided I did not like the platform and would not be renewing. Six months later to the day, I was charged $34.99. My first thought was that someone is using my card. How could this be? I contacted customer service which is a true misnomer, there's no "service" anywhere with this department. They take a long time to get back to you and don't fully address your questions so it takes over a week to get any real answers. Apparently, everyone who signs up, regardless for how long is put on auto renewal. eHarmony says this is to "ensure continuous service". They provided me with a link to their ten page Terms of Service stating that "all customers agree to this policy", essentially saying that I should have seen the tiny snippet buried in ten pages of legalese that says unless I disable automatic billing, I will be billed again and it's pretty much tough **.

I have been using eHarmony over a month now and have had only 2 matches that I've liked and neither moved past the initial chatting stage. All of my matches were either not someone I'd consider dating or they were super religious (which I am not). If you consider yourself very traditional and very Christian, this is the site for you. If you are not conservative/religious, stay away. You can't even browse matches other than the 3-8 they give you a day, so tough luck there. The worst thing for me is when I tried to cancel and because I signed up for a monthly subscription, they wouldn't cancel until my subscription expires. This is really, slimy!!! I ended up canceling my credit card. If you do use them, use a gift card or something like that to sign up. I've had much, much better luck on free sites.

After a painful divorce, I decided to put myself back out there after it had been a while. After an intense questionnaire, I was only matched with 2 people. Really? After that long quiz and a pricey membership, that’s all? I even live near a highly populated metro area. I talked to 1 guy for about a month. Any time I mentioned us meeting up he kind of dodged the question. I started to wonder if this guy was legit, married or something. Somehow he let it slip that he knew my full name and everything about me. How? He admitted he hacked into my account! He said he works with security fraud and did it to make sure I was a real person and not a fake profile because he had been catfished before. That’s still not okay!

I spoke to a friend that used eHarmony several years used eHarmony (BTW, she did not someone from EH), so she said, "Save about an hour or so for the questions that eHarmony will ask!" So last week I did just that... then I register, start the questions excited about the possibility of finding as one of their founders says... "REAL"... BTW, what a joke... I pressed onward with the general profile Q&A, entered several REAL up to date pictures, REAL email, etc. and then the following additional BIG RED FLAGS started to occur...

Well, I had a very hopeful heart that eHarmony was going to aid me in finding someone to share the remaining of my life with. I had heard a lot of positive stories about people finding their love partner on eHarmony and since it was a paid site I thought it would be even better to find someone who wanted to make a effort to find happiness and love again. Boy, was I dead wrong. What I mean is with the expectation of two decent guys all of the others were out for one thing to have sex. I stated in my profile on the site that I was looking for someone to have a long meaningful relationship with and was not looking for a one night stand. I thought stupid me that people looked at your profile with some of the same feeling as me.

Don't waste your money on this service. It provides no added value over free dating apps. There are lots of "free" user profiles who don't have access to communicate but are sent out as matches regularly. Unless you live in a major city such as NYC there likely won't be sufficient active matches to connect with.

Being one of the most expensive online dating sites it is frustrating to pay the money and then be matched with people who are trying for free and can’t actually communicate. And these people taking advantage of the free trial? Numerous scammers! A network of scammers from Nigeria and Turkey target woman on this site (and I’m sure others) to get money. I unfortunately was targeted numerous times.

I read these reviews and I am here to say I have had a very positive experience. After 3 months of sifting and going on dates I found my perfect match. We have been together for 2 years and we are 3 hours away. "Imagine that”. I have never felt so happy in my life. He was definitely made for me. I have tried a million other dating sites and got nothing but junk and a lot of catfishers so this was a big relief to finally find the man of my dreams on eHarmony. We are planning our big day soon and getting ready for our transition. I would recommend just sticking with it and God will send you what's for you.

Eharmony puts people on their sites without knowledge that most of them are catfishers, the people that I spoke with either never responded or they were not real profiles. Very discouraging and no one in authority to speak to AT ALL! I asked for a refund and since it was past 3 days they would not give it, how would anyone know that it was a waste in 3 days. HOW can you possibly sleep at night knowing that people are being taken advantage of. The people that I reported WERE ALL TAKEN down, by you. I knew it and you didn't I again ask for a refund. This was a terrible experience and once that has turned me off from ONLINE dating forever. Please reconsider you have totally taken advantage of me and I am sure for other woman who don't know to report people.

Signed up because a trusted friend recommended eHarmony. I live in a city with 10 million people, yet I'd only get paired up with guys who lived 5 hours away or more - some of them 10 hours away! How are you supposed to date someone who lives so far away you'd have to drive 10-20 hours for a date?!? And, even if they had lived closer, there was not a single one who even caught my interest. (Tried Match, went on many fun and interesting dates.)

I used eHarmony several years ago and had such a positive experience. So when I decided to try online dating again, I definitely wanted to use eHarmony again. It was bad from the get go but I wanted to give it a fair chance so I used eHarmony for a couple of weeks. I finally got one match that I actually decided to share my number with and it was very obvious it was not the person and was extremely scary. I was definitely dome and was fine to cancel and pay for the three months already paid for about two weeks of "service " but they won't stop charging me.

I keep receiving emails deposited to my spam monitor telling me that I have matches and I never registered for this site. I have emailed them twice for them to remove from their email list and they have not done so as of yet.

I thought that E-Harmony would be a good place for online dating as you have to pay money to be on it - so less chance of BS or hookups (like Tinder, Bumble, POF). What a joke. Barely any matches, so I was asked to broaden my search perimeters. Then I started getting flooded with bizarre matches from all over the world. When I would click on their profile, I discovered they hadn't even filled out the profile - yet we seemed to be "100% compatible". Then there was the fact that in a two week span I had over FIVE termination notices for some of my matches... and I reported one as it was CLEARLY fraudulent. One guy even sent me ** images after telling me that he was just getting ready to spend the day with his family (since family meant so much to him). What a joke!!
