Description of eHarmony.com

No, this won't be another boring review. This, dear reader, is a simple numbers game - with over 20 million members at eHarmony.com, you don't need to be a genius to figure out your match probabilities, do you?

So, take a psychologist, give him 35 years listening to couples ( = relationship expert = Dr. Neil Clark Warren = Mr Patience!), add the internet and what do you get? eHarmony.com! Powered by their belief in matching personalities and not matching hobbies, eHarmony.com is a Must Visit on the Dating Map. For those of you who like hard facts, their method is based on a 3-year study of 5000 heterosexual couples. Of course, 3 years is not very long-term but it seems to have been enough for eHarmony to have established a set of traits and personality combinations that make for a succesful, happy and lasting relationship.

eHarmony.com is especially successful with adult singles between the ages of 30 and 55. For the rest: you should be either working/studying hard ( the below 30's) or sipping a piña colada in some beach (the above 55).....just kidding!

What you get for Free

When you register, eHarmony.com offers you a free Personality Profile questionnaire which takes about 45 minutes to complete but don't be put off by this, please! It is not a test, but merely a self-enlightening process to see who is compatible with you. You can always save what you have done and go back to completing it. The questionnaire is excellently designed, simple to follow and actually fun to complete. It covers many areas with questions concerning your personality and beliefs ranging to your living skills and communication style. Once this is complete, you will receive accurate results of your free in-depth profile and the rest can be left to eharmony.com. They will find you compatible matches via their sophisticated matching software, eliminating any emotionally unqualified people. eHarmony.com notifies you of your compatible matches via email, and you can read all about your match before communicating and without having to pay.

What you get if you pay

Feel ready to communicate with your potential match? Well, this is the moment to pay up. Once you get in touch with your match, eHarmony.com will guide you in asking the right questions for you to explore issues that are normally overlooked, which also avoids time-wasting.

Our Comments

We Like:

We are impressed by the extremely high standard quality of service offered by eHarmony.com.
Their questionnaire and in-depth profile are excellent value (absolutely free!) and prove to be effective in finding compatible matches.
Also, eHarmony.com respect members privacy and offer you the freedom to decide when you want to have your photo on display (before communication, during, or after, etc.)
Remember, eHarmony.com does the searching, you are left to choose from what they have selected, all of which is extremely time-saving!

To Be Improved:

Unfortunately, eHarmony.com do not offer same sex matching, as they claim that they haven't carried out any research involved in this area.
It is quite expensive. But at the same time, this is debatable since you do get your money's worth in being precisely matched to someone.
Also, after having filled the 258-questions questionnaire, you might be rejected!
You can't do your own search since they present the matches based on your profile,
You can't see the photos unless yo pay up. Argh!!!

eHarmony.com is for you if

You are a single, self-aware, heterosexual looking for a long-term relationship.
