eHarmony
I think most of the complaints expressed here are from those who have not used eHarmony appropriately. The secret is to make sure that you go to "My Settings" and visit each of "Distance", "Personal Preferences", and "Backgrounds and Beliefs" and adjust the "How important is this to you?" to reflect the appropriate significance that you personally want to apply. For example under "I would like my matches to be between the ages of X and Y" you need not only to enter the appropriate ages but also say how important it is that you only get matches that fall between those ages. So if it is VERY IMPORTANT then make sure the marker is moved to #7. If you don't do this you are much more likely to get matches that are outside of the values of "X" and "Y".
But please remember that sometimes eHarmony will still send you someone who does not meet a particular value you have set because the proposed match measures so highly on the 29 deep criteria measured by the extensive questionnaire you each completed.
As for the physical appearance of any particular proposed match sent to you, it is important to remember two things. First, that the software they use is not capable of measuring the appearance of a photo against some criteria that you may currently be carrying in your mind. And two, that as the site says any match sent you has been evaluated against the 29 deeper criteria and so it is recommended that you rarely reject someone based solely on their physical appearance.
I want to address the issue of this supposedly being a "Christian" website. Nothing could be more incorrect. I myself have followed my own advice given above and excluded any "Christian" and set my choice to "Spiritual but not religious" and moved the bar to make this a very important criteria. I get lots of matches sent me and none of them are from Christians.
Finally, one important tip. Whenever you change criteria, make sure you hit "Save" or your change will not be applied to possible matches.

@Sarah You say you just changed your religion to Christian and then the next day 200 matches! I don't believe it! I have no religion set but I still get matches. Eharmony questionnaire is about 50 pages with some pretty obscure stuff so how do you know everything was the same just religion? Did you print a copy?

I have joined eharmony going on a month or less, so i do not know what to say about them.

You old women had 50 years to figure it out, and if you haven't by now, maybe you should get a cat. Maybe you are crazy, fat, boring, wrinkled, or just plain out ugly. You may think that you look better than you actually do. If you are in your 40's, nobody wants you but a 60 year old man, if not 70. I am 25 and I have "40 year old" men in my face all the time.

I've had no problems with eHarmony.
