eHarmony is great if you're a Christian white-person looking for another Christian white-person.

If you take their test, they warn you that 20% of people don't quite conform to certain criteria and therefore aren't allow to use the site. I'm pretty sure the criteria has to do with religious beliefs and isn't necessarily race-based. I said white-person above mostly because just watch one of their commercials.

Its all goodtimes right? I just checked back and found "6" matches... When I was filling out the test, it asked if you were good looking and on a scale of 1-10, I put 1 so it really says something if I could "find a match". I'm not subscribing so I dunno what they look like "doesn't show pic".

Actually I heard the same exact thing on another forum. Alot of people tried the testing and the common thing that seemed to bump them was religious beleif.

True, but when my standards and experience say that only about 3-4% of the female population are what I would consider datable it helps to weed them out. I have no problem meeting people, I have a problem meeting women with quailities and goals I must have in a partner.

eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive testing of married individuals. One of the requirements for it to work successfully is for participants to fall into our rigorously defined profiles. If we aren't able to match a user well using these profiles, the most considerate approach is to inform them early in the process.

We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish and enjoy happy, lasting relationships that we choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching system is not suitable for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply would not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand that we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.

In other words, I suck.
