I'm just curious, for the email that eHarmony sends out notifying you of a match is it possible to find out what they send out about you to a match? I'm not currently an active subscriber otherwise I would ask someone I was communicating with what it said. Is it always the same? Or does the text of the email vary?

Sure, this is an example of one of mine:

"(name) (city) (age) (height)
About (name)
I strive to understand other people's points of view. It's important for me to take time to 'smell the roses', and to continue to expand my knowledge and awareness. I take great pleasure in knowing I have done a good job, whether or not others recognize it. I try to find pleasure in the simple things in life.

My friends describe me as:
  • Compassionate
  • Supportive
  • Organized
Some of my favorite activities:
  • Traveling
  • Learning
  • Listening to music"

I think that you are going to ask if they show a photo and the answer is no.

Is that what is sent out to describe you to your matches? If so how did you find out what it said? By having a match send it to you?

And no, I wasn't going to ask about the pics, I know you can only see them if you are a paying member.

The emails vary but some elements are the same. It's like a form email for certain traits.

No idea what the one is like they send out for me and I generally ignore those emails. They just really aren't helpful in my opinion other than letting you know that you have a new match. I much prefer to read the profile which in the individual's own words.

What I posted was the e-mail notification that eHarmony sent me on a new match this morning. As brave said it is a form letter that varies the content to fit each person. The particular highlighted interests and values are taken from the persons profile and inserted into the form letter.

The photo is not shown in the e-mail regardless if you are a paying member or not. However, you are correct that only paying members can see the photos of their matches, if one is posted.
