This was the part of your write up on pictures that I found the most surprising. While I think some of your guidelines for pictures were good (face requirement, half dressed, and lots of drinking pics), in other ones you are reading too much into the pictures.

People post pictures of what they enjoy doing. People may or may not expect or want a partner to share in their activities.
As I said before, this isn't an automatic no but I have had some people that all the pics are scenery pics which are great but they are so tiny in the pic you can't even guess at what they look like besides general body type. As for the pics with lots of activities in them, these I don't usually close without reading their profiles but I find that these people will also list all these activities in their "passionate about" section so the combination is usually a no for me as it doesn't really look like we have much in common.

None of those pics are instant close for me if they have pics mixed in that I do like.

I was getting a steady 7 a day for a long time, but I guess the pool must be getting shallow. Now I'm down to 1-3 a day.

I'm also getting emails that I haven't seen from eHarmony before. I was getting the roundup of all of my new matches "meet this seven great matches." I've had two emails this week of "so and so just joined eHarmony. Be the first to meet so and so..."

[COLOR="rgb(0, 100, 0)"]In my case, I receive 20 to 30 possible match per month.
I do not know really how this works, because I select the places that I'd like to meet people and I continue getting matches from all over the world...

I had one per month with distance to 30 miles - which is 55 road miles and minimum two hours where I live. (Some were across the bay and therefore four hours.)

With distance at 60 miles - 110 road miles and four hours, plus tolls - I had one per week.

Also, of those matches, half were immediate discards for having children when I want only matches without children.

I was extremely open, too: no race restrictions, and age 28 to 54.

Reading through the posts I am wondering if this is a situation where eHarmony does not know where you live.

I would expect that you would get matches daily or at least most days. As far as I know there is quite a large eHarmony population in the Dallas area. And your age group is not outside the normal users of eHarmony (you are not a teenager nor are you a nursing home patient). There should not be a significant problem with having smoking set to no and at the highest importance. The drinking could be a small problem but I still would not think that it would reduce your matches to nearly zero. Now the children setting could be a problem and you may want to fiddle with that and see if it is causing the problem. Also if you have set something else very important then you may want to move that down a notch or two.. The importance settings scale is not linear so moving it just a little bit from the very important end can have a big difference.

Now to the distance setting. Check your matches and see where they are located. If they are mostly all from one particular area of your match radius eHarmony probably doesn't know where you are and you need to call Customer Care. Be prepared with a list of all the names of the towns that are in your search radius along with all the ZIP codes.
