Intereting comment good to know however, you cannot find someone to communicate with if you start and it becomes a shut off. understanding more is that there is quite a bit of deception out there. PWR

I have to agree with Faintestinkling!  Under 5% of my matches request communication or answer my request for communication, or even close me out. I understand (although strongly disagree with) the fact that EH sends out matches who are non-paying members, and therefore are unable to respond, but with these percentages, I"m starting to wonder what I am paying for! I consider myself an attractive intelligent woman, but seriously, that kind of rejection is starting to make me feel invisible. I have voiced my opinion about non-paying members before, and every time I am asked to take a survey, but so far nothing has changed. Also I'm sure this is not the proper venue to bring up this point but I'm giving it a shot anyway. Cheers Faintestinkling, excellent point and very well stated.

i am in agreement  with all because i am new to this eharmony thing and since i hace joined 1 week ago have not even got a responce.
i have followed the advice  to change the list of question  not to included the negitive answers but fopund out that you have to have all the numbers they require, this seem to me as if they just want the money from us and dont want to help.
 
the bad thing is that you have to sign up for 3 mnths  at a time and cant do anything about it

When I first joined eH I was a smoker and I only got about a dozen matches in almost two months. Then I quit smoking for six months and changed my status to non-smoker. In the month since I did that I picked up 180 matches, an average of six women a day.

I have two comments about this, one is that just one unwanted reply to an important subject can cause a lady to stop reading your profile.

My other comment is that I have a very hard time keeping up with that many matches. Could there really be "The One" out there that eH will connect me with, given how many matches they have been sending me. I have written to a lot of them and have only heard back from a very few of them.

I think, like the article says, you have to have an informative and well written profile to get responses with potential matches. I know I obviously need to work on mine but I'm hesitant because communication on eH takes so long.

I have actually had better luck using OkCupid and Plentyoffish. I've canceled my eH subscription because I didn't feel like I am getting my money's worth and it's a bit pricey.
