How Do You Change Your eHarmony Profile?

Go to the Home Page and click the dropdown arrow beside your picture. Choose Edit Profile, click the edit button in the section you want to change, and hit Save when you are done. Photos are changed in the same place. A few things, like your name and your match preferences, are changed somewhere else, and the Compatibility Quiz is a separate case altogether.

Start on the Home Page. The dropdown arrow next to your picture holds the Edit Profile option. Every section of the profile has its own edit button, so you can fix one answer without touching the rest.

Nothing is final until you press Save. If you close the page halfway through a rewrite, expect to do it again. Write longer answers in a notes app first and paste them in.

Inside Edit Profile, click the plus sign next to your photo, or the Edit Photos icon, then pick a photo or drag a file onto the page.

eharmony says its Customer Care team reviews every uploaded photo, and only photos of you are allowed. That rules out a group shot where she has to guess which one is you, and it rules out a picture of your dog or your car.

To delete a photo, click the trash can next to it in the Organize Your Photos section. The arrow buttons move photos up and down, which matters more than most men think. The first photo is the one that decides whether she opens the rest, so give it your clearest, most recent close-up and push the rest down in order of how well they show your life.

Your name, your date of birth and your gender each have their own help article on eharmony's site. That tells you they are handled separately from the profile editor. If you try to change one of them and cannot find the button, that is why.

Your match preferences work the same way. They control who shows up for you, not what other people read about you, so they sit outside the profile page.

The quiz is different again. eharmony says not to take the Compatibility Quiz more than once, though you can ask Customer Care about a retake when you renew a Premium membership. Editing the profile does not touch your quiz answers. We cover that in our article on retaking the Compatibility Quiz.

Men sometimes find a profile that no longer looks like their own. The first place to look is the photos. Because eharmony reviews every photo before it appears, one that was rejected will simply be missing, and the order of the rest will shift.

Check that nothing in the written sections was lost when you last saved. If a section you wrote is still blank after you saved it, redo it and watch for the confirmation. If something still looks wrong, Customer Care is the route. You cannot fix a fault in their system from your side, and a short note describing what you see gets a quicker answer than a general complaint.

Most men edit the wrong thing first. They fiddle with adjectives when the problem is a photo.

Fix things in this order. First, the lead photo: a clear, recent close-up of your face in daylight. Second, one answer that is vague. "I like to travel and try new restaurants" fits ten thousand men. A line about the one trip you would repeat tomorrow, and why, gives a woman something to ask you about. a dating coach makes this point about every dating site: general claims fade into the background, while a specific picture sticks.

Third, anything out of date. A job you left, a city you moved from, a photo from a different haircut. Small gaps like these make a woman wonder what else is old.

If you rewrite everything in one evening, you will not know which change did the work. Change the lead photo first and give it a week or two. Then rewrite one answer and watch again.

Keep a simple count: how many women open your page, how many reply to what you send, how many turn into a plan to meet. If a number moves after an edit, keep the edit. If nothing moves, undo it and try the next thing.

Sometimes a man edits a profile five times and still gets nothing. That is a sign the problem is in the material, not the wording. A folder with no usable photographs cannot be fixed by an edit button. Take new pictures in daylight, ask a friend to hold the phone, and replace the lead photo with the best one. Then come back and tune the words around it.
