From time to time in the 10 years since my divorce, I have used online dating services like Match.com to meet new people. These sites provide a convenient way to meet people you wouldn't otherwise encounter.
But I will never use eHarmoney.com. You shouldn't either, if you care about equality and tolerance.
eHarmony seems to get much more publicity than the other dating sites, through its sappy radio and television ads about how they've matched so many attractive couples via "29 key dimensions of compatibility". But their cutesy, lovey-dovey rhetoric belies its real attitude that gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are second-class citizens and unworthy of finding true love.
On their sign-up form, eHarmony offers only two gender-related options: "Man seeking a woman" or "Woman seeking a man".
So if you're a man seeking a man, or a woman seeking a woman, you're out of luck. You don't deserve to find a match based on "29 key dimensions of compatibility". You don't deserve to find true love.
So eHarmoney doesn't deserve my money. Please don't give them yours either.
