eHarmony Review February 2023

The registration process for eHarmony takes much longer than on other dating sites. The site makes sure to gather all the important information from its users before allowing them to browse and look for matches. 

You will be given two signup options on the site's registration page. You can either choose to register via an email address or connect your Facebook account. Either way, you will still be required to answer the questionnaires and personality tests the site has prepared for every newcomer.

Personality tests consist of items that help gauge each member's personality. They usually have situational questions like "What would you do if...?" 

Compatibility quizzes are questions that lean more on how you would like your match to be. Aside from that, you get to indicate specific attributes of the matches you want. You can specify the height, body type, nationality, and other quantifiable characteristics of your future match in your match preference.

The process will take more than 10 minutes to complete. After that, you may choose to upload your profile photo.

eHarmony dating site's contacting features are limited, but this doesn't keep it from making lasting connections. The method of communication is only through sending messages, which premium members may only use. 

If you are a free user, you can still use the messaging feature but only to send your five favourite site-generated questions, and your match can opt to answer them or not. Standard members cannot send personal messages and reply to any message they receive; they can only send smiles and add people to their favourites list.

You won't be able to see all the users who are online and currently active. Members will only be able to see the site's proposed matches list. If you don't find someone good enough, you must wait for your updated match results daily to find someone new. But if you upgrade to premium, you get a chance to meet people outside your compatibility area. 

The site offers a basic search filter that allows you to narrow down your match list based on age. You can also search for matches based on the city or location. If you choose to upgrade to premium, you can access the 'What If' feature and receive 30 extra matches that are outside your preference list. That means you get extra matches, giving you more possible choices. You can also go on virtual dates using the Video Date premium feature.

The platform boasts of the quality of the matches they create. One of the major factors that affect your compatibility with a certain member is the amount of information you lay down on your profile. As previously mentioned, the site takes pride in making sure that all newcomers answer the registration questions.

The information from the tests and questionnaires you took is reflected in your profile. Additionally, your profile has the written "About me" section, information about your preference, and the level of compatibility every visitor shall have concerning the different areas in your life.

If you carefully browse through other members' profiles, you will see that the majority have filled out their profile sections informatively. You will also find a detailed percentage of how much of your match's values fit yours on the compatibility tab. 

The compatibility tab shows how your personality and attitude toward a relationship would match. These are the following characteristics and attitudes you will find on this tab:

• Emotional Intimacy
• Conscientiousness
• Physical Intimacy
• Relationship Values
• Religious Values
• Social Values
• Extraversion
• Agreeableness
• Altruism
• Intellect
• Affection
• Accommodation
• Athleticism
• Exclusivity
• Romance

Aside from those required fields, the site has prepared a Q&A portion where you can get to know your match better by reading through random questions they have answered. You can also answer questions on your profile if you want, but it isn't required. 

After saving your answers to each of the questions that appear, you will immediately see what your match has answered. This way, you can see whether you both agree on something or not.

Fake profiles are possible but with the help of RelyID, members can now filter and identify the genuine users.
