On average how many communications do you guys initiate before you get 1 response. Like for me it's usually 1 every 10-12. I just wanted to see if that's like the average number or I am way below average.

I'd say 1 in 10 is about right. Of that maybe 1 in 10 get to Open Communications.

I am not sending invites right now, too many to close
However I am getting a number of invites and that seems odd. Most have been closed for various reasons.

I started eH 2 days ago and here's my current stats...
Started communication with 11 women
6 have closed
1 responded (no stage 2 yet)
5 have not responded

Which is 1 in 11, same as yours.

Are women in eH really this picky about who they date with all the elaborate matching used by eH?

I've sent 9 open communications, no responses yet (still early for a few).

I've received 3 open communications.

I'm a guy, and I'm assuming we initiate more. A few I sent to have viewed my profile (but haven't closed.). Most of the others are probably inactive.

I'd say that I get at least an initial response from about half of the people I initiate communication with. Here are some stats so far:

Total matches received: 87
Initiated communication: 10
Some non-closure response: 6
Open communication: 2
Still in guided comm: 3

I'd say my numbers are fairly consistent with that.

95% of the matches don't seem to respond to anything. The ones that have responded so far ended up being the complete opposite of what I was looking for - druggy sluts. It seems like few people pay for this service. I'm not recommending this site to anyone and I'm definitely not renewing. Plentyoffish.com is 100x better (and free). Match.com is even better and cheaper than this. eHarmony.com markets themselves as "unique" but that "uniqueness" doesn't work - it's just a marketing gimmick. Let's see how fast they erase this post. God forbid someone speaks the truth.
