The first problem I saw is that they think they fact that the average profile only lasts 6.5 months is a -bad- thing.
When you have a relationship, you don't NEED a dating site. This means people either find a match or give up in an average of 6.5 months.
The second thing I noticed was that they are very down on the dead profiles. I haven't used e-harmony, but I suspect there's a way to tell when the person last used the site. Simply don't message people who haven't logged in for months and you won't have to to worry about it.
Much more useful is the fact that they get 12-15k new customers daily. In 6.5 months, that's a LOT of people to look through. (Yeah, they mostly won't be in your area, but most of the dead accounts won't be, either.)
There is not a way to tell when someone has last used the site with eharmony. At least not immediately.
I live in Vermont and there were like ~50 women within 60 miles within 5 years of my age on either side that showed up as 'matches' for me to view/message.
If I go another 35~ miles to montreal, there are approximately infinite women to view/message.
If I expand my search to world-wide it's exactly infinite.
