To follow suit with many of the other online dating sites, as well to response to discrimination comments, eHarmony has launched their new same sex dating site. This website will offer services for same sex couples, both male and female.

The new eHarmony site, know being called Compatible Partners, was developed as one part of a settlement that took place last fall. The case that was brought against eHarmony was filed by a gay user of their site who felt they were not in line with discrimination laws.

For the most part, Compatible Partners is much like a sister site to eHarmony. It follows the same format of using a questionnaire in order to help find preferred matches. The site did have to make changes to some of the questions that, of course, would not of fit in. Questions that asked how important is beauty in the opposite sex would not of been fitting for the site.

However, some other websites that are already catering to same sex couples remain very skeptical about this new eHarmony website. The founder of myPartner, another match making website for gays, said that the gay community is a very different population that needs different needs. This is something that he feels eHarmony may be lacking in.

Just last month, eHarmony was the sixth most visited online dating site. The site ended up landing 2.3 million unique visitors. However, SinglesNet is a website that has been offering same sex matching since its start and has the most visits, with 3.7 million. This website could prove to be a way that eHarmony can stay competitive in the online dating market place.
