And that is PRECISELY why eHarmony suuuucks. They pick and choose specific people for you for YEARS based upon a profile that is only partially true for an instant. And most of the questions are so broad you can answer many different ways and still be speaking the truth. But those different answers will make the difference on who they match you with!!!! I mean come on!!! To think that if I had answered the questions just a teensy bit different, I might be sitting here next to my new wife! eHarmony acts as if their broad questions create a precise profile, and that's just totally 100% WRONG!
And what's worse is that they won't let you change your profile. At least when I was an active member they didn't. Although since I complained to them all the time, finally one of the operators told me that he would let me retake the quiz. But really, you really do need to be able to take the quiz every few weeks because we all change constantly.
I was an eharmony member for a couple of years. One day I decided to take the quiz again because I was never happy with the matches they gave me. Now what prompted me to retake the quiz was that I got dumped. And you are supposed to answer honestly. Pfft. Do that after you get dumped and you are never going to be allowed into eHarmony. So, I took the quiz once more and answered a bit differently. I still spoke the truth, but really you can tell which questions are going to get you booted. Curiously, even though I spoke the truth, eHarmony's profile for me was like 180 degrees opposite of my previous profile. Yet both of the profiles were still true.
I finally couldn't take their sucky matches and cold higher-than-thou attitude anymore and quit. And I had a freaking AWESOME deal. $12 a month paid month to month!!! Yes they did have that deal before. Believe me eHarmony isn't even worth $12 a month. It's that bad.
[EDIT]Oh, one more thing... How many of you eharmony members have been members for awhile and they create a new match with someone else who's been on the website for a long time? Why didn't they match me with these people on day one? Every single match that you receive should be with someone who joined THAT DAY!!!!! If they match you with ANYBODY who has been a member for some time, then they are lying to you. See? They hold off giving you all of your matches at once and dish them out 5 at a time because they want to keep you a member longer. They are all about the dollar.
THAT is one of the main reasons why I quit. I knew that they weren't interested in introducing me to my wife.
I did get a lot more action at eHarmony than at other websites like Match and plentyoffish though. That's because the women on eHarmony believe that it works. They take the process more seriously than the women on the other dating websites. Women are suckers I guess. LOL No offense. I'm just kidding on that.
