   Just by little, they had not re-discovered “the online dating sound barrier”.

   They would had needed numbers to quantify their findings!!!

   Match is a Powerful Searching Engine and also a Bidirectional Recommendation Engine (Matching based on Self-Reported Data by personal preferences & likes and dislikes)

   eHarmony is a Compatibility Matching Algorithm based on personality similarity with the Big5 normative personality test and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (invented by Dr. Graham B. Spanier in 1976) as its core. The Guided Communication Process (a mutual filtering step) is an appendix of its main matching algorithm.

   The entire Online Dating Industry for serious daters in 1st World Countries is a HOAX, performing as a Big Online Casino, with low successful rates.

   Actual online dating sites offering compatibility matching methods are only fueled by big marketing budgets and not by serious scientific evidence. No online dating site can prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who will have more stable and satisfying relationships than couples matched by chance, astrological destiny, personal preferences, searching on one’s own, or other technique as the control group in a peer_reviewed Scientific Paper.

   They only use different versions of the Big5 or other proprietary models instead (like Chemistry or PerfectMatch) to measure personality traits.

   They are all like placebo, because they have less or at least the same precision as searching on one’s own. [in the range of 3 or 4 persons compatible per 1,000 persons screened]

   During 2003 I had discovered “the online dating sound barrier” for Compatibility Matching Algorithms.

   Breaking “the online dating sound barrier” is to achieve far better precision than searching on one’s own or mutual filtering.

   Breaking “the online dating sound barrier” is to achieve at least:
   3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
   12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
   48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.

   100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

   The only way to achieve that and improve the online dating efficiency is:

   - with the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5.

   - Using a quantized pattern comparison method (part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation) to calculate similarity between prospective mates.

   A WARNING ABOUT SITES LIKE MATCH.COM. Match.com allows people who do not live in town, who are of wrong age, who are married or otherwise in relationships to date on its site. So they may not be thieves but they are looking to take ADVANTAGE OF WOMEN.

   I have noticed that since 2009 a lot of men who would have actually used prostitutes have moved to sites like Match.com to find sex and they will lie through their teeth to get it. I know one guy who actually put down he is 44 but is actually 51, wants kids but doesn’t, doesn’t live in the location his profile indicates, has been incarcerated, and generally has a pretty incorrect profile. Also he is in a relationship with another woman in the city he actually lives in. All of this I reported to Match.com…and they will not shut down his profile. They continue to keep it up…knowing that the entire profile is a lie.

   I think Match.com specifically has become a magnet for men who were otherwise no longer able to afford prostitutes and now come to the site for the same…only they pay 10th of the price and lie to the women to take advantage of them.

   Online dating…especially Match.com are the way of johns.com now. Any decent person who is looking for a real relationship…BEWARE!!!

   If the man is an American, I suggest you do a complete background check on Intellus.com site where you can find out the real age, if they are married, if they have a criminal background or otherwise are lying about where they actually live. It costs about $12 and is worth every penny!
