eHarmony is run by a evangelical Christian (who's friends with James Dobson, the Focus on the Family guy). As such, they don't do matches for LGBTQ people. (I guess I wasn't heterosexual enough for them, even though I identify as straight.) Other things they look for include past marriages, current mental health issues, and (I think) your relationship to your own parents. I think the website says that 1 out of 5 people aren't able to be matched, so it clearly happens to a lot of people.
Wait, you answered "Nero" for something? That might explain the rejection! ;)
I am proud and pleased not to have passed eHarmony's standards. Although it does make me want to try and crack their code for what makes a person matchable. Hey, I have plenty of e-mail addresses I can sign up with.
I suppose I should have answered that I grew up in the perfect Brady Bunch family. Oh, no, wait, the Brady Bunch are one of those weird blended families, with unrelated teenage boys and girls sleeping right nearby each other. The Seventh Heaven family, then--which I thought was one of those gee-whiz-family-values shows, but why is it every time I see a coming attraction for it someone is unexpectedly pregnant or running off with someone else? WHERE ARE OUR VALUES!! No, seriously, where are they, 'cause I seem to have misplaced mine.
There could very well have been one of those sliding-scale questions on the site. You know the sort:
