Am I the only person who finds the eHarmony survey deceptive in regards to children?

The extremely long and detailed eHarmony questionnaire covers all kinds of subjects but fails to properly address the fundamental question of whether or not a person has kids!!! It simply asks if a person has any children AT HOME rather than directly asking if a person has children. Then, if the person states that they do not have any children AT HOME, on their profile, it states in bold letters that the person has "NO KIDS". This is deceptive, irritating, confusing, time-wasting, and a serious flaw! I spoke to a representative about this, and she stated that they do not consider children to be a major issue when selecting a mate! What kind of idiots are running that company? How can the presence of another human being not have an impact on a relationship! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH EHARMONY! If it is important to you whether or not a person has kids, you will not receive an honest answer on potential matches' profiles! Am I the only one who has issues with this??
 
Having been a member of Eharmony before, I tend to find a lot of what they do deceptive.
Here is the biggest deceptive thing they do.
You get "matched" by them, correct?
Well, their matches are made up of anyone that has ever been a member!!!!
You as a member, once you find someone you want to date, you can get Eharmony to stop sending YOU matches, but it doesn't prevent them from sending your profile to people that are still looking.
As a result, it gives the impression to people that are still looking that they have many more available matches than they actually do. In fact, people can still attempt to contact you even if you have requested that Eharm. stop sending you matches, which they will, and you will never know that someone is trying to contact you (which is fine if you're dating someone and no longer looking), but the person sending you messages doesn't get any hint that you are no longer available. All they know is that you are not responding.
What's the point? Well, it makes a member think they have all these available matches, when actually the number is much smaller, but hey....it does keep you enticed to keep sending Eharm. your monthly payments.
