I haven't been a member in so long, and I have to say, I have enjoyed this site the most!.. lol so sad..


The EH site to me, its just like playing the slot machines, you never know what you're going to get. You hit scan and expect to win and what you get is " loss or no match"


To those of you on EH, best of luck, hopefully, its a winner"

Just be patient and be realistic about what you want in a person. If you've had 1700 matches, or something like that, and haven't had ANY dates, well then.....I don't know if you're being too picky or if you just haven't really tried. I had great luck, I met my fiance. It CAN be done! I don't mean to sound mean, I just want people to be happy. I joined the site in July 07, dated two great guys, but didn't have "the connection." Then in February 08 I met the man who will be my husband in two weeks. It does work, he is everything I ever wanted and needed in a partner and I fell in love with his words, and his writing first. When I met him it took me a little longer to warm up to him, he was really nervous ( I was his first match!!!) , but I gave him a chance and he blew me away with his depth of character, his wonderful kisses, and his total awesomeness. Good luck! It really works! You have to believe and you have to be willing to work a little.

the sad truth Is that eh Isn't as successful as they claim I know of only one couple that have been married through eh that's it. If your still paying for a membership it money down the drain!!! if it really worked all they would charge is a one time fee not hit you up every month!

While I didn't have any success at eH (I met my fiance on a rival site), I do know 5 married eH couples. It can work, but obviously, it often doesn't.

Well I am a member and have about 40 matches in 1 year. only one sent a ice breaker and one sent Q's.The one who sent the Q's closed communications because I didn't send answers right away. I mean a few hours had past between him sending and me answering and when I tried tosend answers it said closed because I didn't answer Q's. I was like oh for real are you that up tight that you need answers back that fast mind you this was the first set of Q's. I don't check my email every 15 mins give a person a chance.

Move this out of the "success stories" section. Seriously.. you have to hog up this section too with your negativity?

If it doesn't work for you, then just LEAVE. Don't stick around to complain.

My husband and I are an E-harmony success story, and I'd like to read other stories in this section.. not a bunch of people bashing the site like in the other sections.

What's the big deal? If the site isn't working.. then don't use it. Simple as that. Game over... move on.

It's easy to get discouraged, especially with all the upbeat tv commercials and online advertising.

To be truthful, it (the eH matching service) is only as good as the pool of clients. In certain geographical areas and demographics, the possible matches are rather thin on the ground (I'd venture that over-fifty males are pretty well under-represented relative to females). I think I had to wait two months for any matches at all.

It's a numbers game, and if you have the money to pay for a long enough subscription, you might eventually win. Being open-minded but retaining some standards is a tricky balancing act, but patience (and money) can deliver some quality matches (along with the "what were they thinking?" ones).

For me: six months, around 100 matches, two contacts, one in-person meeting.

EH is just one venue for finding possible dates/matches/partners. It works better for some than for others.

maybe all the success stories are so busy being in love they dont have time for EH Advice anymore!

I can say this is the reason why it took me over a year of being with Honey to post anything. Once we were matched and realized we had something special going on, I never came back on eH. It's only now, that we are moving ahead (and I quit my job and have extra time on my hands) that I even thought of seeing if there was a place to post our success story.

I don't think it's a scam...I think people just don't have the time/desire to post online once they are in a successful relationship.
