Perhaps the biggest advantage eHarmony offers male singles, is that there are always more women on this particular dating site than men. When you first join eHarmony, the sheer number of profile questions can seem a little daunting. However, persist through all 436 of them, as these questions are designed to increase the success rate of finding the right dates to suit your specific preferences. You’re also only ever shown those members whose profiles and preferences show a high level of compatibility with your own. This is a great way to save time and know you’re only dealing with people who have the potential to be really compatible with what you prefer. |
| Number of Members | 25,000,000+ |
|
| Who Should Sign Up | eHarmony is ideal for singles searching for love, with a view to marriage. |
|
| Why You Should Join | eHarmony is easily one of the more in-depth online dating services available. It’s also one of the few where there are more women members than men. The matching system was created by interviewing, testing and comparing happily married couples. The results gave the researchers behind eHarmony the algorithms needed to work out the best possible likelihood of compatibility between singles for successful results. |
|
| What is Free | You are able to create a free membership on eHarmony that lasts for as long as you want it. Free members can create and personalize profiles, and begin searching for matches who interest you. Unfortunately, you will not be able to communicate with other members. There is also no search function available, so you aren’t able to browse through profiles at will. You’re only shown people who match your profile and are considered to be compatible with you in some way. |
|
| What is Members Only | Those members on the Basic Plan can fill in the detailed Personality Profile. This is quite in-depth, and is designed to get a good idea of who you are, inside and out, in order to come up with the best possible matches to suit you. Basic Plan members are also able to send and receive messages from other singles. Other features are optional upgrades. Members on the Total Connect Plan can benefit from receiving the same perks as Basic Plan members, but all of the optional upgrades are included in this package price. This means you’ll receive a Premium Personality Profile, RelyID to verify your membership information and also Secure Call, which lets you use the eHarmony system to make calls from your own phone to singles without giving out your private phone number. |
|
| Commitment | Free members may remain so for an indefinite period of time. Minimum membership term is 1 month. |
|
| Guarantee | There is no guarantee offered. |
|
| Tips and Tools | The eHarmony iPhone app is ideal for those members who wish to check messages and respond to singles while they’re away from the computer. The iPhone app is also compatible with the iPad and iPod Touch. If you’re not keen about communicating with someone via the impersonal medium of email, you have the ability to use eHarmony’s ‘Secure Call’ feature. This allows you to hear your match’s voice and get to know each other without giving that person your phone number at any time. You use your own phone, but you’re connected via the Secure Call system. |
|
| Features | While there is no search function available on the site, members are shown plenty of compatible singles who match the parameters entered into their own profile. This is part of the reason the profile section is so detailed. It allows the system to weed out those people who aren’t compatible with you and show you only those who are. This can be a great time saving feature. One of the best features of eHarmony is the Matching Model. This automatically eliminated more than 99% of those singles who are simply not compatible with your own likes, preferences, tastes or personality type. The Matching Model only shows you those singles who are compatible with you and your goals for a long-term relationship. |
