How many eHarmony matches will you get? I've updated the formula!

It's been six months since I've published my original "Date Predictor" - a tool designed to help people think about how a change in their match settings will affect how many people they'll be able to meet on eHarmony. It will also generate rough estimates of how many matches you'll recieve per day, and how many people are able to be matched, within your criteria. However, there are a lot of reasons why this estimate would be inaccurate.

Anyway, in the last six months, the statistics have changed, and it's now time to update the tool. You can download the new tool here.

Bad news - for most guys, the statistics have gotten worse in the last six months. Factors that may be affecting a decline in your matches?
  • New member growth on eHarmony has slowed, somewhat.
  • The male/female ratio has risen. It's now 60% female.
  • If you're not interested in women who have children... sorry, but the percentage of the membership with children has grown to 32%.
Good news? Quality guys are still hard to find.
