Doesn't everybody shower? Sixty percent of the men I meet on eHarmony say, "I can't stand someone who is not clean."

    29 "dimensions"

    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.
