eHarmony 1

eHarmony truly doesn't deserve one star, but there is no option for no stars. My experience has been that they throw tons of "matches" at me and when I read the limited profiles that are provided, they are quite obviously people who I would not be compatible with.
Here is a recent example:
Me: 5'9 Highly intelligent, professional woman earning 6 figures.
Recent match: 5'5 welder who says he doesn't like to read.
When I complained to eHarmony and asked for my money back, they sent me two canned emails in a row that accused me of being superficial (apparently they are looking for "deeper connections").
I'm not sure what the "29 dimensions of compatibility" are that they advertise, but they sure don't include some of the most important things, such as intellectual compatibility and equality in a relationship.
I am giving up on sifting through the hundreds of bad matches they send to me and writing off the money I wasted on this service. I intend to spend a lot of time in the next few weeks posting all over the internet to try to save others from wasting their money on this bad service. I think the only "dimension" they truly care about is increasing the dimensions of their wallets.

I agree that eharmony is a scam I realized it the first time i saw there commercial I would get mad because it insulted me.but i do agree you are beeing superficial having a education doesn't make you a super brain just means your atleast average .I put up with your kind when i was young and dating ,your level of intelligence is a potential like voltage in a conductor education doesn't make you intelligent it makes you less ignorant I have A IQ of 150 non educated but very knowledgeable I also no more than my educated wife she also agrees because she only learned what she did in school and im curious everyday you could be happy with a man who is not educated but atleast average if you were not so shallow .i never went to school becuase i was withdrawn not interested when i was young

Wow, zdogy, please don't lie about your IQ in a public forum. It's quite obvious from your poor command of grammar that you're not nearly as intelligent as advertised in your post. My guess is that you're (not YOUR) not smart enough to understand that a well-read, intelligent woman could not possibly get the kind of intellectual stimulation she needs from someone who specifies that he doesn't like to read. While I have nothing against uneducated or less-intelligent people per se, I am certainly not compatible with unintelligent men.

Perhaps if your IQ were indeed as high as advertised, you would understand that I was not being shallow, simply searching for intellectual compatibility in a mate, which, by the way, I paid eHarmony a lot of money to do and they failed miserably. If I were shallow, I would have been complaining about bald men, men with pot bellies, men with big noses, etc. I would be happy to date a big-nosed, pot-bellied man if he could participate in a scintillating conversation every now and then.

Also, you mentioned education in your post and stated that because I am educated, I am not a "super brain" but instead, average. I never stated in my post what my education level is, nor that those who choose not to complete a formal education are not intelligent. I know quite a few extremely intelligent, interesting people who lack formal post-secondary education. I believe that your lack of education is a sore point for you, so you choose to make yourself feel better by going around the internet lying boastfully about yourself and berating those whom you feel surely have a superior intellect to your own. I do hope this helps to bolster your self esteem because it truly serves no other purpose.

Anyway, it's silly for me to waste my time on responding further to you because I am truly offended by people who use the internet to lie to others. Being boastful in a dishonest way is despicable and ridiculous, even if done in a pathetic attempt to inflate a deflated ego. I suggest counseling as a far superior method of dealing with your issues.

Arguing with idiots should be above you.
You may be smart but you are very pretentious. Not insulting you, I am just saying you you are right, you SHOULD be with another pretentious person who's only goal in life is to make more money then they can possibly ever use.
While you do that, I will skip that guy who doesn't like reading (eww) and date his cuddly welder buddies :D
I have my things too though, I like my men laid back, working class and very good in bed. That has nothing to do with my IQ because I am smart as well.
That guy sounds like my "matches", maybe you get those matches because that is all there is. I doubt hansom doctors use that site.
