Hunting The Muse

This is quite an interesting website with reviews about eHarmony. Naturally, the majority of the reviews are negative, and I understand and can relate with some of the experiences, that people have had on here, both good and bad. Let me say this, when subscribing to any dating service, whether it's eHarmony or not, there is always an element of risk with a combination of sincerety and insincerety. Many years ago, when telephone sex and dating lines were just starting out and into their high point during a transition to internet dating, I had worked in the industry for years in an operational administrative accounting and marketing capacity. I understood the marketing tactics and the phony seed message both on the telephone lines and and the phony profiles needed to attract new customers as the competition was steadily growing with Mom and Pop dating services springing about everywhere both on the telephone, the classifieds and the internet. Be warned, that being successful at dating from these avenues are merited to finding real people connecting, which is now and then and not so often as people or advertisers may think. You need to realize, that there are REAL people, who work for these dating companies, and are PAID to respond to users as to give them the idea, that they are so called "Real" people looking for love. On the flip side of the coin, there are real people on there, spending their money and sincerely looking for someone. However, there is no sure proof way to know, who's real and who's not. Therein lies the risk, that everyone must take in order to find "real" love. I can say that there technique is certainly unique, and that people's reviews here whether they be positive or negative are certainly validated by common experiences that are relational with each other. In the end, if you can afford to waste $50 for a month to see how you feel about it, dive in. But just remember, this is corporate America. Eharmony is a business foremost, and just roll the dice, and pray that you get in touch with the real ones out there.

Blessings to everyone here...

So, you're saying it's to be *expected* there would be a lot of company-sponsored false profiles on these services, to reel real customers in? That's got to be illegal.

Tunesmith,

I just happened to stumble on to this page. Are you now running two sites for people to give their opinions on eharmony and internet dating. If so Tank may not know that either which is why he might not respond to your very important question which we all want and need to know the answer to. Thanks.

The main thread is still over at the other thread. I'll close comments on this one so peopler reading this will participate over there.
