Review
I am in my fourth month with eHarmony. I did research
before joining so I knew the drawbacks of signing
up for this '29 dimensions' nonsense. So far I have
receive almost 200 matches, 75% of which have shut
my profile down. I have gotten to the final stage
of communication with three matches, and gotten as
far as a second date with one.
I find it judgemental that matches can't even attempt
to get past initial communication before they shut
down your profile. You have to at least go through
the multiple choice and open ended question/answer
portion of the communication before you have enough
information to close a profile down. Otherwise you
are doing yourself a disservice and will NEVER find
a mate on this website.
If I based my decision to close down a match solely
on their profile I would close 90% of them. Based on
the matches I have received, not enough effort is put
into completing the profile. I spent time refining
and wordsmithing my profile to better market myself
to potential matches.
The profile needs to be approached like you do a resume.
And if I get one more match that lists Ronald Reagan
as their personal hero or that has read The Davinci
Code I will scream! And guys, if the only picture you
have is you dressed as a pirate, DON'T post it. I know,
I know. I complained about passing judgement but come
on, I just can't date a pirate.
eHarmony has added a new feature to their website.
If a match closes down your profile, you now have the
option of sending them a 'Final Message' in response.
eHarmony provides 5 standardized messages, none of
which really satisfy your instinct to tell the other
person what an idiot they are to pass you up! I am
not interested in sending a final message to someone
who closes my profile. I am not going to beg someone
to reconsider.
I have a couple more days before it is too late to
cancel my membership. I didn't want to battle all the
freaks on Match.com but I think I am ready to take
my chances.
