Just yesterday, my profile is now "incomplete" according to eH b/c I haven't done the relyId thing. This just showed up on Monday, why would my profile be incomplete without it? Anybody know why this wasn't an immediate option, why is this appearing weeks after I've subscribed?

RelyID is an additional cost item and is not required to make your profile complete. Very few people have RelyID. It really does not add any thing.

I would not get it.

I've been wondering the same thing. Should I ever actually get to the communication stage with anyone, I'll be happy to provide references, lol.

I'm not interested in the product, I enjoy EH just fine without it, and I wish EH wouldn't use the "incomplete" tactic to try to persuade people to buy it.

The folks at eHarmony will disagree, but it seems about the only true benefit of Real ID is that it might demonstrate that you are a paying member and therefore more willing to take the site seriously.

I have RelyID and definately feel more confortable about a match that had it as well.

Especially when it comes time for face to face meeting. For a face to face meeting with a match without RelyID I feel like I need to look into them further.

This situation has not happened yet so I can't tell you how I would deal with it. Looking at it from my point of view right now I would want it confirmed some how that I am meeting the person that they say I am meeting.

Heck, someone could use any name, birthdate or information that they wanted to. RelyID at least checks the last 4 digits of their SS# and some other information against their name and other information given to confirm identification.

The reason your profile is incomplete without the RelyID is that eHarmony can't charge you for it until you sign up.

Most of my matches don't have RelyID, and I don't either.

It's called sales. E Harmony.com is in the business of offering you a product. That product, online dating, has an extra service called Rely Id.
This is not a free item. Your profile is of course, incomplete to a salesperson or in this case, E H, since they want to sell you something.

I don't believe in that service and won't buy it.

Well, it has disappeared from my main page, and my profile is now complete again.

I can appreciate the concept of RelyID, however, a person can be honest about their name and S/N and still completely misrepresent themselves. So I'm not sure what this would get me anyways....I'll have to think about it.

thanks for the replies!
