eHarmony

So I took the test and posted a profile on eHarmony, but I'm not liking it. The questions that you can answer on your profile are so generic that everyone seems the same and I can't tell if someone is interesting or not.  I end up closing matches for stupid little reasons, rather than because I actually feel like I wouldn't click with the guy.
Also the 55 guys or so that they've 'matched' me with didn't seem like guys that I would normally be interested in.  Maybe it's because the type of guy that I'm looking for isn't on eHarmony, and the matching algorithm is just doing the best that it can.  But I've found much more interesting people on okcupid, people that I have a lot in common with in terms of interests.
Although eHarmony does make me think & ponder...  On okcupid and irl, I tend to focus on finding guys who I have things in common with (interests in math/science, cogsci/learning, movement/dance, etc), and while I've certainly met some cool people and had a few good relationships, I haven't found 'the one' or whatever.  Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing - maybe I need to go more of the eHarmony route, trying to find someone who matches me on more of the relationship 'must-haves', 'life-skills', and 'personality profile' rather than someone who matches me on interests.
