There are a few new things mentioned in a press release on Market Watch from eHarmony. They are reporting 93 percent of Brits do not believe a scientific formula can match them successfully, eHarmony hopes to change this thinking. The release also mentions there are currently 150,000 singles living in the United Kingdom registered on the U.S. version of eHarmony. Lastly, the press release mentions a few key differences in the U.S. and U.K. matching algorithm:

The OII research revealed that while the UK had many similarities in what determines a successful relationship, there were also some interesting differences between US and UK couples.

For example, married people in the United Kingdom consistently express greater satisfaction with the amount of consensus they experience in their marriage, such as the time spent together, how they get along with family and in-laws, and their sexual relationship.

Those from the United States, on the other hand, show more satisfaction with interpersonal aspects of the relationship, such as laughing together more frequently, exchanging ideas, and kissing more often.

Reuters mentions that eHarmony will reject members who are currently married (which we knew) or who have been married more than 3 times. Also, members who "are emotionally unfit to enter a relationship, such as the severely clinically depressed" will not be granted a membership. eHarmony also restated the fact that they would consider started a dating site for homosexuals but, do not currently have plans to do so.

It seems the eHarmony Cracked blog will not be updated for the next little while. The writer of the blog, Scott, needs to concentrate on some other aspects in his life. We wish him well and hope he can return to blogging soon.
