Hi Eharmony/EharmonyAdvice,

(Please don't moderate this comment out, I think its very important for everyone to see and respond to!)

You/Eharmony are misreading our complaints about the free weekend! We generally do NOT have any complaints about the free weekend itself!

We have complaints that you do not *LABEL* said users as "free weekenders"/"Non paying Members"!

I absolutely AGREE with the fact that most of us started out as non-paying members/free weekenders.

Matching paying members with nonpayers is ABSOLUTELY fine!

But what most of us have a problem with, is that you do not label our matches are paying/nonpaying!!!

This goes for people that let their subscriptions lapse, and do NOT turn off matching!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just have a little icon/button/something that indictes the person is currently a paying member or not.

This is all we ask, give us this little request, and you will find that your users will be *SO* much happier!!!
Great comments Scott,



If eHarmony could also add a "last logged-in (blank)" where blank is a date or time period like "1 week ago" that would be great too.
I love the idea of the last logged-in (blank). I think this would be helpful in weeding out the free weekenders as well!

I totally agree with Scott. I sent an email asking eharmony why the nonpaying members could not be designated and got a response that I was less than thrilled with. A simple icon would let us know if communicating would be worth our effort.

It would allow people to completely ignore non-paying members--so why would the non-paying members ever sign up?

It seems we all have our dating styles and I do not think we should be so critical of other's styles. Seems some of you have been on eH for a long time, AND it appears that some of you have gone through matches and deleted them a lot faster then I do. But that doen't bother me, we are all different and I can respect that about you. As for me, I have been in open commuication with 5 so far, three of which became good friends and even started communicating outside eH, our friendships endure. And all these contacts were gained on the free weekends (two free weekends so far). I am a student in college as well as being a single parent so paying for this excellent matching site is out of the question for now. But if I saw someone I really felt attracted to I would pay! But over all.. my dating style is to discover enduring friendships and when I am ready for marriage he will likely be one of my friends.

It wouldn't be so bad if we were told who were on the free pass. Or at least let us know after the free weekend that we have been corresponding with someone who will no longer be able to communicate back.


As it stands, I might just take the weekend off from eharmony.


Diana;


That is an excellent point. Perhaps one way to do this is to turn off the matching setting over the weekend. That might reduce the number of duds.
Just because someone does not have a paying membership does not make said person a "dud". I currently have no paid membership, but I wish I did. I genuinely cannot afford it, but my financial status does not make me less of a decent match. You are insulting the less affluent by calling us "duds". We can't all help how much money we have. If we could, more people would be millionaires!

HELP


I just paid for a year long membership and found out I don't have any matches... am i that messed up? Is there any way to get my money back?


-Matt
As far as I know, there is no way to get your money back. I feel really bad about you paying for a membership up front like that. It's funny, I am seriously high in my standards, but I get swamped with matches. I don't understand why you aren't getting any. I hear that there are some people that just aren't getting matches. i don't know why not.

one of my friends has a wife in a coma for 3 years...would he be accepted for eharmony? or should he divorce her first? he doens't want to marry but wants companionship...surely there are many members who are not looking to remarry but want a close friend.
I'm truly sorry to hear about this terrible event, but I don't understand just divorcing or abandoning a wife (or husband) because said person has gone into a coma. Where has loyalty gone?

You are a dud.


Why?


Because if you aren't a paying member, and can't afford it right now, then for crying outloud, TURN OFF YOUR MATCHING!!!


When you are able to afford to be back on EH, then turn Matching back on!


Why should us paying members have to suffer by getting Matches like you, where there is no way for you to communicate back to us?


The inconsideration you show us by leaving your Matching on when you can't communicate back, is what makes you a "dud".

Hi Thread... I was once on e-harmony, they told me they could not find me any matches... I had to laugh. Plenty of Fish.com is totally free, try that. they even have IM. it's pretty good.

im with you on that. but its been a few days since i joined and im still unable to matched with anyone. so i guess the millionaires are free from 1 "dud" this weekend...i guess someone who has money to throw in the air deserves the best in life.
