Men on eHarmony seem obsessed with women who are "clean" Doesn't everybody shower? Sixty percent of the men I meet on eHarmony say, "I can't stand someone who is not clean." By Cary Tennis [2007-09-26]

  eHarmony is not scientific, it is Snake Oil.

  You can't even search on eHarmony, only look at what they search for you. For all I know they just throw me every profile in the area and let the other steps like the can't stands/must haves, and other crap be the weed out factor.

  Where is the data and research behind the construct he is using? I can make the same thing, it is most likely nothing more than a multiple discriminant analysis with 29 variables. If you believe that eHarmony has a valid and reliable construct to match couples, I have a bridge in MN you might be interested in.

  I tried eHarmony and got a book in the mail from that creepy old guy. It is all anecdotes.
