What is Eharmony ?

Eharmony is a dating site that employs the compatibility matching system to find appropriate matches for its members. The system helps narrow down matches to the closest compatibility levels and that’s probably the reason a couple gets hooked every 14 minutes.

The site came into being in the year 2000 and has been providing its matching services ever since. The services have naturally evolved and that’s the reason for such a large member base today. With members from all over the world, Eharmony aims to help its members find love- serious love and long-lasting relationships. Unmistakably then, they seem to know what makes long-term relationships tick and have worked towards it. Reports indicate that over 600,000 couples found love and entered matrimony through the efforts of the site.

 Features

 

With a rather minimalistic design, Eharmony’s user interface appeals to the users, both young and older. With a few icons and tabs on the menu bar, there are not many other features to brag about. The user profiles are arranged in a grid format. The profiles, with blurred images, provide the user’s name, city, and age.

The navigational features are excellent and finding your way through is as easy as a, b, c. The site is clutter-free, making for easy viewing of what is supposed to be seen. Although there aren’t any fancy features, all that is required for good communication is in place. You will see a few nudges that ask you to upgrade your account, but apart from those, you’ll find no ads.

Some features worth mention are Send a Smile, Send Questions, Add to Favorites, What if, and Video Date.

‘Send a smile’ lets you send a smiley to the person whose profile you are viewing- this happens when you click the smiley icon under each profile photo. You can send automated questions through the ‘send a question’ feature- a good way to start a conversation. ‘Add to favorites’ allows you to add a profile to your favorites list. ‘What If?’ is a paid feature that provides you 30 additional matches outside of your preference list. ‘Video Date’ allows you to meet members via video. This helps in getting to know each other better.

Membership

When compared to an average dating site, registration on Eharmony takes much longer. This is because you need to provide a lot of personal information before you can start looking for matches. You may sign up using your email or your Facebook account. You then need to answer a lengthy questionnaire prepared by the site’s experts. This is done to know more details about you so that the matching can be more accurate. There are situational questions as well as pertinent ones. Aside from questions about yourself and your traits, you can specify what type of partner or match you like. You can specify the gender, age range, body type, height, nationality, and other characteristics you’d like to find in your match. You may also upload your photos.

The paid membership has three types of plans, Light, Plus, and Extra. They are as follows:

Light
6 months
$9.98/month
plus
12 months
$2.99/month
Comfort
24 months
$1.08/month
