In order to ease the anxiety of the plus sized women who are not successful so far on eharmony, it would be good to see posts of the success stories of couples with plus sized women.


Please post links to existing success stories with photos or provide the success stories in response to this topic.

Try looking at some of eharmonys posted stories...from the pictures you can see that some of the ladies are plus sized and very happy.


Many people never look at the success story forum and two days isn't long for a response. I don't think it is fair to say any person is wasting their money...it's a chance to meet someone. There is no guarantee to dating. People of all sizes have varying degrees of success. You just got to have hope that the right person will come along and you will recognize them.

Hi shygrrl,


Along with your request, I certainly hope that successful, plus-sized members share their stories on this thread. However, my contribution to this thread is a link to the section of our Singles Success Stories site where you can view quite a number of wedding videos of plus-sized members.


http://www.eharmony.com/success/videos


I hope these videos will be an inspiration to all and confirm that eHarmony is a wonderful option for anyone searching for the love of their life.


All the best.

Renee, one or two of the finalists of last week's contest are plus size. Would you post the links to their stories here please?

What are you defining as "plus-size"? Someone who has to buy clothing in the "Women's" section rather than the "Misses"? (like sizes 18W and over?) Or someone who's just overweight?





I'm a Misses size 16 and met my current guy on EH. It's possible.

Thanks everyone who posted. This sure gives me new hope. I was positive that the reason I have not found someonewas because of my weight. Now, I am not so sure. I had written to EH and told them that I was wasting my time and money, because none of the guys they matched me with liked me because I was fat. BUT!!! I need to rethink this LOL. Maybe I will give EH another shot the next time they have a special price.

How awesome, ihavefaith, that you have been inspired by this thread and that you are considering giving eHarmony another try. So that you have the best chance of having a successful eHarmony experience when you return, I want to remind you that our Customer Care team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide you with support and account assistance. Even before you purchase your next subscription, upon request, a Customer Care agent will be happy to review your profile to ensure that it is representing you in the best light possible.


Also, I encourage you to continue to read the testimonials of our Successful members and use them as an example in how you conduct your search on eHarmony. Along with the inspiration and suggestion you can get from them, I also encourage you to view our 5 Keys to Success video in which Dr. Warren and successful couples provide tips to help you be similarly successful.


www.eHarmony.com/keystosuccess


Lastly, please keep in mind that finding the love of your life, even on eHarmony takes time. On average, successful members dedicate 3 to 6 months to their search before they begin communicating with their special someone.


I hope that you will return to our Singles service soon, and I wish you the best in your search.


Sincerely,


-Renee
