eharmony used to be a great dating site when I last used it six years ago, met a lot of really nice compatible women that fit my criteria. It used to give you a variety of subscription options to choose from, from month-to-month, 3, 6 or more months. Buying a longer sub was worth it, because the value to cost ratio was good.
Boy, how this site has changed. They now force you to buy a minimum 6 month subscription, even if paying monthly installments, at nearly $400, under the ostensible rationale that you need six months to find and start conversations with the many great matches they’ll send you. Yeah, good luck with.
The service now sucks. Its value no longer remotely correlates to the quality of what you get. They serve you tons of profiles that don’t match well, often well outside your desired geographic input points, and many profiles have no profile pics, so you can’t tell if someone meets your attractiveness factors – this aspect alone should not be allowed by eharmony.
What ones have pics seem to all be the virtual detritus of the dating world, because they don’t engage when you send a message or use the now less-than-previously-useful icebreakers – which are lame and not as good as they were before. Even eharmony’s once-vaunted algorithms match you with people that don’t fit your criteria.
On top of that, you cannot cancel without paying in full, even if you’re paying month-to-month within the minimum 6 month term. There is no means to complain and get service, making this lousy service nothing more than a huge scam to steal your money and provide an abysmal service. They should be prosecuted for by the FTC for not delivering a service and not offer refunds when they do.
Don’t waste your money.
