I absolutely hated E-harmony. I wrote about my experience in the online dating thread. I wish I could sue them. A waste of money and yes it was costly.

I hate you so much lol. I just had to go back and search that thread to read about your experience. That pic of your match had me dying
Carry on...
sylver2 link pls!?
I know a few couples who met there; married; babies etc.
I was shocked at the first one because she was always shy but it worked really well for her.
I hear you have to be very patient because you often dont get any potential matches for a month or so after joining. You also have to be very specific: if you dont want a certain type of men say so.
It looks like the problem is other sites give you people to look through but on eharmony to have to wait. Most people I know who did not like it said they felt discouraged when after the long a$$ form or whatever your fill out there is no-one matched with them.
Funny - I just had this conversation with a friend about it. I think she ended up going to another site.
Didn't work for me. I didn't receive enough men of color as matches.
but thats the thing, they don't really let you specify what you want. other then ethnicity. I put black only and they still sent me others. They will send me a 400lb 5foot obese white dude or a 2 foot midget as my match. thats all fine and dandy our personalities would click(which i doubt:/) but thats ridiculous. Cool for others but not for me and not worth my $45 a month. Dang at least let me search and look at some profiles on my own sice u sending me some crappy matches..HATE THEM HATE THEM..grr
sylver2 what did that gent do for a living? I'm curious. Lol, I'm glad you made a match!
I think the reason that there aren't many black men on eHarmony may have something to do with the fact that it was originally touted as a site for people with Christian values.
I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but I barely see black men attend church anymore and most looking for romance aren't looking for wives, but girlfriends and hookups.
The Christian values thing may have been a turnoff versus Match.com and other sites.
