And I broke it....or something. After I was done filling it out (and it is LONG), I got the following message. eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants to fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process. We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes 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 model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time. So do I suck or what? LOL. Not that I care. I was just bored. Thought I'd see what that guy on the radio was yapping about.

Ks - take it as a compliment that you are a unique individual and can't be shoved into a cookie cutter mold.

Ks ... I have a co-worker who came up with the same message. She went to myspace.com and has been very happy there. You may want to check it out. BTW ... I'm dating someone I met through eHarmony right now ... 2 months and counting.

LOL....just goes to show, the people with substance can't be fit into a mold and matched up I suppose. I would see that as a great compliment as well KS.

Ks, the same thing happened to me. My first thought was there are probably thousands of people here and I'm not compatible with any of them. What happened was on the first page of questions you are asked about your marital status. I checked that I was separated. Upon further reading after the devastating news that I had no hope, I read that you have to be totally single to be considered for a match. You would think they would tell you that the minute you check any box that disqualified you, right. No, I completed pages of questions before being told this.

Native - LOL... I think I clicked single. If it weren't so damned long I'd try it again. Maybe later.
