I fucking HATE Eharmony commercials
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 01:16 PM by HEyHEY
They are god damned vile and irritating as all hell. A bunch of yuppies, model couples, terrible music, hokey loves stories.... egad. Where's a psycho path with a hook for a hand when you need one?

1. You're just mad you failed their personality test, aren't you?
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 01:05 PM by JVS
They're programed to reject people who list drinking and screwing as their hobbies.

3. Failing their personality test would be a compliment, not like failing the freemason's
cause that would suck.

5. Freemasons are the tool of the Devil.
So is Eharmony, but I need to set the record straight.

7. It's more than that
If you pay attention, not only are there no inter-racial couples, but they seem to have matched couples based on complexion. Pasty white redhead with pasty white redhead. Mediterranean olive complexion with Mediterranean olive complexion. East Asian with East Asian. South Asian with South Asian. Light-skinned black with light-skinned black. The couples look alike.

STP to eHarmony: isn't incest illegal in all 50 states?

8. I like the Lowered Expectations commercials on MadTV
Some of them are offensive, but some of them are really funny.

11. I always loved the Vancome lady
She was an insufferable bitch, but at least she was easy.

9. I hate them too but not as much
as the Match.com commercials. Gee, I wonder why the loser with the felt hat had to try internet dating, you'd think he'd be quite the catch.

21. Cause it's like a menu, other than that.... kills time!
I went on Lavalife after a bad break up cause my roomie forced me too try it. It actually was fun, I met some nice people ( Some I'm still friends with though nothing happened). And kinda got back into the swing of things.... reminded me there's so many people out there.

13. Their ad music sounds like a slowed-down Muzak version of "Don't Stop Believing."

14. Last I saw, the couples all looked like brother-sister.
:scared: Which wasn't a ringing endorsement.

16. I knew someone who signed up for it.
and it was sheer bullshit. They claim to carefully match you up with someone, then you have to go through a whole series of online interactions before they allow you to actually meet the person. Then it turns out you have nothing in common and live 50 miles away.

Happened to him 3 times before he quit.

And yes, the commercials are completely obnoxious.

30. Ugh! Why did I....
go there?

Why does it not surprise me that they
"got engaged" after 9 days?

:puke:

Can they get their divorce through E-DisHarmony?

27. The founder is a fundy and hates gays
So, yeah, eHarmony is a bunch of bullshit. They stack the odds by rejecting anyone who isn't mindless and happy according to their personality quiz.

28. You must not
want to marry a Stepford Wife. WTF is wrong with you? Yep, they pretty much creep me right out too.. Mr. Fundy-the-Founder is a closet something or other - anyone who hates gays and grins like that has some hidden issues...

I have my kids programed to hat eHarmony commercials too. - :)

31. Their founder always sounds like he's dosed up to the eyeballs on antidepressants.
"Hi, I'm Dr. so and so. We match you based on 29 dimensions of compatibility."
