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.

It was actually the first thing I noticed. I've only been here for 5 minutes and that is what stuck out. I'd like to think that hopefully the sucess of the forums isn't related to the sucess of the actual eharmony matchmaking, as one isn't required of the other, so it's possible that just not that many people who use eharmony also use the forums. I know I was almost not going to bother to come here, when I realized I didn't really have anything else to do until afternoon.

I thought the same thing! It is all in the advertising...show them what they want to see to bring them in :-)

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I've been a member almost 8 months and here's my stats: 8 months, 1700+ matches, 8 matches made to open communication, no dates I thought that people at eHarmony would be more serious about getting to know people and ultimately meeting a few. When it takes 200 matches to get to open communication with 1, you kinda wonder if it's not all about the advertising.

I have been on this site for only 3days and I don't know. I sent questions to guys and I am still waiting for a reply. How long should I wait before calling it quits.

Not sure how successful it is, but I don't think most people having success would be posting on these forums.

I would have to disagree. Normally, people only leave feedback for customer service when it is BAD (waitstaff, poor vacation, crappy apartment, etc.). Yes, people will leave good feedback, but generally the people who have been dissatisfied are more likely to write about. *shrugs* maybe all the success stories are so busy being in love they dont have time for EH Advice anymore!

I am having the same problem. I have had almost 200 matches and only one open communication which started off with communicating everyday and now I am left to wonder is this is going anywhere. When I call eHarmony they just keep telling me be patient we have 240 marriages a day and it usually takes at least three months before you will find your perfect match. I do not think I could take 8 months of this and then when I read the success stories they provide most of the people state they were on the site for three years. I only signed up for one month to see what it would be like and I already sound like everyone else on here.


Any advice?
