I was disappointed with the site in several ways. I am an attractive and fit 42 year old man, and look mid 30’s in appearance. However, I received far too many profiles of women in their early to late 40’s, where profiles of women in ...

eHarmony
As one of the most well publicized online dating sites, eHarmony is the best bet for those looking for a truly serious commitment with the right person. Science and romance come together with in-depth personality questionnaires designed to match compatible personality traits most likely to result in chemistry. Rather than members entering information to search for compatible matches, the eHarmony.com online system locates matches and delivers them. While signup and personality profiles are free, a paid membership is required in order to communicate.
One can use the guided communication process to break the ice or bypass it all using the site's Fast Track system. Founded by Dr. Neil Warren, a dating and relationship expert, eHarmony.com is recognized for its ability to create long lasting compatible matches. This is because of the lengthy questionnaires that must be filled out which is designed to match couples on a deeper level that appearances alone. The site has strong Christian principles, and has received complaints in the past for not catering for same sex couples. It’s not clear whether this policy will change.
The extensive compatibility questionnaire must be completed before gaining access to the site, so unlike many other match sites, at eHarmony one cannot simply register in a few moments and start browsing profiles. The test answers can be saved at any time however so that you can come back at a later point to finish the test.
Once you complete the test and access the site, you can easily modify your profile and customize your settings. Choosing between the fast track or guided communications options can be done here, as well as specifying whether you’d like to receive matches by email or not. It’s also possible to restrict matches to people living within a certain distance, to those with certain religious beliefs or ethnic backgrounds, and of a certain height.
eHarmony has one of the most comprehensive matchmaking services available both on and off the internet. It’s well suited to those seeking a compatible partner for a serious, lasting relationship. Those uncomfortable or unwilling to examine themselves at length are not likely to find themselves suited to eHarmony.com.

I was disappointed with the site in several ways. I am an attractive and fit 42 year old man, and look mid 30’s in appearance. However, I received far too many profiles of women in their early to late 40’s, where profiles of women in their 30’s would have been more appropriate. The quality of profiles of women in their 30’s that I did see was disappointing to say the least, rarely fit or attractive.
Even after the extensive questionnaire, some women would immediately close communication, even though these were supposed matches. In addition to the hoops to jump through, it can be very time consuming to actually get to one on one contact.
Eharmony you are doing great job. I hope you keep it up.
Couldn't be more disgusted with the 20 plus years older matches I was sent. Obviously, Eharmony victimizes women for matches with much older men who are the large base of their clients. This is a rip-off of the highest order.
To 25-year-old Priscilla:
The cookie will crumble. You too will be old one day. But for your own sake, I hope you focus those young eyes on the guys who are "in [your] face all the time".
Anyone who dates far younger is not looking for an equal partner - they are seeking someone to dominate. Don't believe words; watch actions and make up your own mind.
Best of Luck,
Cathy
PS - I agree that E-Harmony is not a great place.
If you're not Christian, don't bother. They will reject you.
I am in my mid 20s and I was sent no one older than 28 and no one matching close to someone I'd choose. I didn't even limit the search to my area! All unmotivated men and all far away from me! I live in New York City! The test was way off in my opinion. Everyone on there wants children and I make no apologies for wanting a career and not wanting a nanny raise my kids. I am so unhappy with eHarmony in every single aspect of it.
I wish they'd let me rate it '0' stars!
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.
I am a good-looking, fit woman of 52. I have been using eHarmony for 2 weeks. I get at least 10 matches a day, and half are good matches, but: the guys don't contact me, and if I try to contact them with an "Icebreaker" or "Questions", they block or ignore me. I have even rewritten my profile to sound more welcoming, and have good pictures. What is happening?
My limited experience with e-harmony was off-putting. I'm a hot, youthful late 40's woman, but they kept sending my profiles to "old" guys in their 60's, because they insisted it "works out better statistically." It didn't matter what I wanted; a still hot guy my age or slightly younger.
Actually, statistically, older woman/younger man pairings work well. But my guess is that the company wanted to cater to their pool of older men, who want younger women.
And the initial cyber meeting question menu we could select from to ask one another were very limited and trite. Nothing in them I would want to know about someone right off the bat.
Since then, I've heard some other negative things about the limited boxes they put people in, or reject them by.
This site has judged me unfit to take part in the matching services it offers. I followed their test, and completed all the questions, and was told they cannot (will not) help me. The test is more like a psych exam than questions for dating. Complete waste of time.
