Current mood:amused
Ok, we've all heard and seen the Eharmony advertisements on T.V. or the radio. They used to guarantee to find you a mate due to their "patented 29 Dimensions of Compatibility" survey within a certain amount of time or your money back. ( I'm still giggling at that) Well, a couple of years ago, several women sued them for false advertisement and breach of contract because the site didn't fulfill its "promise" and refused to give them their money back, stating it was not anything EHarmony had done wrong and that they should have read the agreement closer. (Its all in the fine print my friends!) Now EHarmony settled the suit rather quickly, can't have bad press can we! Bad for business. Anyway a few months ago, before I learned of all this, I too, tried Eharmony, along with several other online "match" sites...
This is what I have discovered. The "29 Dimensions of Compatibility" is a survey that THEY are counting on YOU to be honest. Now, in itself, this might not seem like much, but think a bit closer. Now most sites just ask for the vitals and for you to write a few words about yourself and what you are looking for and then let you look around at other people. EHarmony charges you $49.99 to take half of the work away from you and sends you a few matches every other day or so and gives you the false idea that they are making it easier and safer for us all to find that special someone. The "29 Dimension of Compatibility" is nothing more than, shall I say it....BULLSHIT!
If you lie on the survey, you can be anybody you want to be. They don't do a background check on you, they don't really do anything, except give you the opportunity to make a choice.....be "29" different things you truly are or "29" different things you truly aren't. Are you getting the picture? and one more question for you to think about....do you think everyone on the internet will be honest, even through EHarmony? (humming the song "This will be....) Hmmmmmmmm.....
