eharmony sucks

I don't have a whole lot to say about it; I've just been disappointed in general. Very few to none of the guys I've been matched with would I actually go out with.

And it's expensive! I've been looking at some dating sites, just for "fun" as I'm definitely not ready to date. But I filled out the free personality profile thing and almost immediately I got an email that someone wanted to start communication. I thought for a second about signing up just to "practice" for when I am ready, but I was surprised at how much it costs. Maybe it was just the fact that they bill you in one lump sum.

I guess maybe that is to keep people like me, who aren't really serious about it, away.

I am on plentyoffish.com and being on there has made me realize how small the amount of good catches are in the dating pool in my area, even though I live in such a metropolis LOL

In fact! it matched me up with a dude I know.. I met him at a bar a few months ago, have hung out a couple times, and we're friends on FB. His POF profile said "looking for a relationship" so I asked him about it and he said "oh I just put that so more girls will talk to me." He's really just looking for hang out/sex haha. Since I know he lied, it's hard to know how many other dudes on there are lying.

I'm nowhere near ready to start dating again but this does not make me feel hopeful. Sigh. I really thought I'd never have to date again I am considering eharmony for when I do feel ready. Maybe you just need to give it some time. Good luck.

I was thinking the same thing for myself...

But good luck!  Maybe after a little while it will get better?  They'll match up you better?

eharmony takes time. I signed up in May, and met a few people that I had dates with -- mostly one-date-wonders, one that I dated for about 6 weeks. Six months after I signed up to be on the site, I met my current bf. It just takes time. And play with your criteria a bit -- like age and location. Just move them around one day and them move them back the next and it may change some matches.

I agree.  I met my husband on eharmony.  I met a few guys that were really nice, and had dates with, but the majority of my matches were not good.  Most of them were really short, or just not my type.  Eharmony has more quality guys than any other site I went on.  I went on the plentyoffish site and I thought that was the worst... a lot of people to meet, but douche bags just looking to get laid.

I also met my husband on there!  It does costs more than the other sites, but I found it far better than any of the cheaper/free sites.  Like the previous poster said, the quality of the guys on there is definitely better, and in my opinion the guys seemed more relationship-minded, whereas on match.com I felt like a lot of the guys were just looking for one night stands or something like that.

It does take time, though.  I was only on there for a month when I got matched with my husband, but he had been on there for almost a year.
