eHarmony ReviewPRICE: $21 - $49.95/month. FREE for posting profile,
finding matches, and taking an in-depth personality test.
OUR REVIEW: eHarmony was founded in 1998 by relationship expert Dr. Neil Clark Warren. It differs from other dating sites in that it places a special emphasis on compatibility and uses a unique matching system to find matches for you. If you are open to letting a scientific, carefully constructed matching system find potential matches for you, eHarmony may do wonders for you. At the core of the matching system is an extensive questionnaire that all eHarmony participants are required to fill out. The questionnaire took us over 30 minutes to complete, but on the positive side, it was very straightforward and easy to do. Having such a long questionnaire is good in the sense that: 1) It gives a lot of information for eHarmony to use to find your match, and 2) It weeds out the people who aren't serious. After you submit the questionnaire, eHarmony generates a FREE personality profile ($40 value) which is surprisingly accurate. Unlike other dating sites, eHarmony offers no searchable listings - Instead, eHarmony finds potential matches for you using their "29 dimensions of compatibility" and displays only your matches. You can then view detailed profiles of the matches that eHarmony found, and if you decide to contact a match, at that point you are required to sign up for paid membership, which costs anywhere from $21 to $49.95/month, depending on the length of subscription. eHarmony requires more work up front when you join, but less work afterwards, since you don't have to spend hours searching through listings and trying to find your match. In a sense, eHarmony does the hard part for you, and it's encouraging to know that the model eHarmony uses to match you with potential partners is a well-researched, scientifically proven model that really works, as is evident by the numerous testimonials on the site. If you prefer to spend hours browsing through listings on your own, a site like Match.com may be more appropriate for you. On the other hand, if you haven't had much luck with other dating sites, or prefer to take advantage of technology and a scientific matching system, eHarmony may be exactly what you are looking for.
