Comments on: Why won’t eHarmony reject me? http://neverblog.net/why-wont-eharmony-reject-me/ the Dude abides.

However, they were most likely approved under the pretense that they are probally, caring, passionate, and understanding. Fail. Entirely. Anyone can lie, if someone was a real "weirdo" they would. Then they would meet you under the pretense of a different personality. How is that an ideal match? It seems as though they already let a lot of people do that. Men and women lie at bars and social events to get with the opposite gender, why is this any different?

So though marriage between their patrons is not necessarily the goal of the exercise, it is the foundation for the matching system. I also read in my Personality Profile that I am lucky, lucky, lucky! I'm so balanced people envy me. Sometimes I'm outgoing, sometimes I'm reserved. Maybe I'm steady but I'm also responsive. I'm focused but flexible, curious and content. I take care of other people but also myself. All these "sometimes this, sometimes that" answers are, I'm sure, the reason why I was told that eHarmony could not help me. Not because of any specific answer, but because my *pattern* of answers can't be easily pigeonholed. So all you rejects, hold your heads high and be proud of your individuality! Say, is there a web site for eHarmony rejects? After all, we DO have something in common! ;-) I was also rejected by eHarmony but I believe that they told me the reason: I don’t fit into any of the Profiles they have built, so they can’t predict who might be a good match.

I had a rather $hitty childhood, but have done a lot of personal work. I am trying a free trial on chemistry.com but it seems to be a bunch of neurotic psychopaths (okay so its a little exaggerated but seriously one dude said he is always depressed and sleeps as day). so yay for compatible partners! lets hope it works out for the best. so now gays can join as well.

I am not saying that you are weird if you got rejected, just that their system kept at least one weirdo out.

Everyone at my work thinks he is weird and he is never invited out. I'm far from perfect, but I am not weird like him, so I think their system works fairly well, at least in this case. It has nothing to do with religion or race either. A work mate of mine was rejected, I wasn’t. Everyone at my work thinks he is weird and he is never invited out.

I don't think it's a problem though, they're offering a service and they can deny it if they want, there's plenty of other sites anyways. Though I find some of these comments pretty funny. I'd think people who need to pay money to meet people would be less judgmental. I was rejected forever ago when I took it when I was bored, I don’t remember any of the details.

If you really think eHarmony's rejection process saves you from dating potential psychos I've got a bridge to sell you. Wow… some seriously nasty comments here.
