Did anybody notice there are so many posts on the other topics, but only a handfull on "success stories"? Is eHarmony really as successful as they claim? Just something to think about.
They seem to be very successful in second marriages and the over 50 crowd.

I've only heard of 3 couples that were both single and never married... those are the 3 couples in the commericals. They were so rare, EH is paying them to be the spokes models.

Hi qp106sd,

I invite you to take a look at our Success Stories page, http://www.eharmony.com/success. While it is true that we have a section dedicated to members 50+ who found love on eHarmony, many members under 50 have also been successfully matched!

To be truthful, I really couldn't say what percentage of the 236 eHarmony members who marry each day on average have never been married before; so I wouldn't be comfortable making a statement about the rarity of marriages in which both members had been.

Also, not working in the Marketing department, I can't speak to what remunerations, if any, success couples receive for being part of our TV commercials or the decision-making process regarding which couples to feature in any given TV campaign.

But what I can say is that couples with varying experiences have been part of our TV campaigns over the years, and that whether eHarmony members have been married before or not, our goals is that their eHarmony marriages will be happy and lifelong!

All the best,

-Renee

It's not spaghetti. It's Panda Express three item combo with noodles (brocolli beef and orange chicken).

First to Jelly bean Mom, get off your MARRIED HIGH HORSE telling people where to go and post........you were once single too, perhaps you forgot about that part of your life?

Briteeyes444 had me intrigued about her comment that she actually had better luck here on eHarmony Advice than on eH. Within the span of two weeks, I gained two new eH friends though one, with whom communication was going quite well, has seemed to have gone missing for reasons I cannot determine. Another new one is filling the void. This is way better results that eH, on which I have had results for communication, accepted some, declined others and have gone on some first dates (one had repeat dates) but no relationships. I live in a large metro area, some days do not get any matches for days and yet I've had hundreds in 6 1/2 months since I joined. Nevertheless, despite having reached communication, and perhaps because I come from a large city (where dating is already difficult) I find there is little to choose from in the matches; the profiles simply do not "match" me in any way regarding interests, and so I mostly get the "flexible" matches which means they generally go outside my "set" parameters and just give me what they feel like giving me.

Another thing, most of the matches all seem the same. I had hopes of finding some success here and do know it takes time but I think my location (think HUGE northeast city) is an inherent limit as to what I am going to receive in the way of what's available here, because essentially, there's not much available here and the ratio of available men to women is not in the women's favor. Also I am looking for some qualities that are rather specific which I know limit my possibilites and so I know my chances here are not the greatest. But at least I can say I tried it, after receiving so many years of nudging from practically everyone I knew. I refused to try online dating.

I was also somewhat encouraged by another poster's message by her long distance connection which ended up working out, Chicago to FL. I am eager to get out of my BIG city life though I don't put that in my profile, because nor is it an easy thing to have success with on the dating front. You have to really WANT that to work. And work it does, indeed sometimes.

Anyway, what I wondered most about now was, what about the success that Briteeyes444 wrote about on eAdvice? Is it an uncommon thing or was it an anomaly for her? I think I've read about it before here on the boards because people do in fact sort of get to know one another and well, it's a way to open doors, I imagine. I didn't even expect to get friends from the boards and I got two so fast in two weeks just now......MEN! What's it all about. Penpals?

Just curious. Don't really know what, if anything to make of it because it's been better for me than eHarmony. That has a little more than one month left in it and I don't know that I care to continue. Could do more with the money!

Honestly, people confuse me sometimes. Well more times than not. I'm an open book, but most are up to something. Oh well.......

One thing about an online community, if it's tied to an actual service, whether it be free or paid for, you will only see a small sample of the people who use the service in the forums.

I am not a smart man but this is what I think. If you own or work for a company you have an interest in it. I believe eHarmony has our interest at heart. Take the outfit you are working for. When a customer walks up are you going to talk about failures or successes. Are you the best at what you do or is the other guy better. I myself always tell everyone we are the best structural ironworkers in the buisness. How about that blind date, did it work. Or trying to find singles before internet. They are just trying to make it easier to find each other. You can browse for yourself or they can help, you choose. I have not dated for so long I would not even know where to begin. Lets put 20 bachelors and 20 single women in a room and one couple walks away and gets married. Isn't that a success. Yes it is. If every relationship is a success we would not need eH in the first place. And no, I am not a "success story" or employed by eH. Just someone who enjoys working iron like eH employees enjoy their job which is a harder job than my own.
