If eHarmony’s algorithm was supposed to match people that were most alike, it would have been called eMelody.

But most of the preferences were the same between us. I was just trying to game it to produce a match. I am very surprised at the quantity of matches we did get. Holy cow there are a lot of fairly local, similar age folks lookin’ for love out there.

Usually people with different characteristics are actually better matched. Travis On 1/26/2017 11:42 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: For fun, my wife and I both got a free eHarmony account. Worked hard to have the exact same preferences. Only differences is our ages. One week later and we still have not been matched to each other. I wonder if the algorithm somehow knows we are related. I don’t think it asked for addresses. Not even sure it asked for a last name. In any event I guess this must mean that we are not compatible...
