I met a really good guy on eHarmony, but it didn't work out. He was Vietnamese. I wasn't matched with many BM, or they weren't matched with me.

I joined eHarmony but none of the guys matched to me worked out. We weren't compatible and actually one guy was a freak. Called me one night before we even went on a date and wanted me to "touch" myself for him. GTFOOHWTM. He kept calling and I never answered the phone after that and cancelled my membership.

I second what Sylver says.
They matched me up with old weird white dudes. There were hardly any men of color on there worth dating.
I suppose it depends on where you live though. I'm in the DMV.
Have you tried a free site? Free doesn't mean you can't find quality men.
And a site that charges doesn't mean you'll find quality men.

The link to her post in the Online Dating thread is http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=15131931&highlight=eharmony#post15131931
Put your coffee/tea down before you read it
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.

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

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.

Sorry about that but
. . . I would be fighting mad too. I wonder if they have people who they just throw at others because they seem so unmatchable.I thought you could specify other preferences. I am not sure what these ladies did or if they lucked out. I guess finding love is a lot of luck anyway.
thks.
now who?? the dude who i have a pic of in my other post? if so who cares? wtf i dont care if he's Prince of Zamunda.
i remember looking at all his pics and he was a sloppy big mess. if u want him im sure hes still on e. lmao

Hello is me your looking for?
It did not work out for me. I did see some black men up there but it seemed like there wasn't much of a pick. I met more people on ok.cupid. And what pissed me off more is i'm six foot tall and even if i saw somebody decent they were like 5'6".......crappy e-harmony.

And the cost, but that's why I signed up. For me, it weeded out the people who weren't serious about finding a serious relationship. I ran into a lot of guys wantin gto hook up on free dating sites and sites that only cost $9.00/month. That's just my experience, though.
I was recieving matches everyday. It actually became a bit overwhelming. I was a bit more open on race to, so that may have helped. I don't know.
