Last

for misleading statements, false claims, overpromises.
Like Match, eHarmony, Zoosk, OkCupid, EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) copycat of eHarmony, Tinder and others.

The
only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using 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 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals
(needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern
recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between
prospective mates.)
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.

Social dating is vaporware.
Online
Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to
be more effective/efficient.
It needs to reduce the false positives
problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.

The Secret Sauce Behind Online Dating ?
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/07/the-secret-sauce-behind-online-dating.html
The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.
Personality
Based Recommender Systems are the next generation of recommender
systems because they perform far better than Behavioural ones (past
actions and pattern of personal preferences)
That
is the only way to improve recommender systems, to include the
personality traits of their users. They need to calculate personality
similarity between users.
Which is the RIGHT approach to innovate in the Personality Based Recommender Systems Arena?
The same approach to innovate in the Online Dating Industry
== 16PF5 test or similar to assess personality traits and a new method
to calculate similarity between quantized patterns.
The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY, and not "meet other people with similar interests"The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level
executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and
not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be
beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.
Wasting precious time with Matchmakers which should be obsolete.
The Online Dating Industry needs Innovations.
Innovations are not adding more bells and whistles to actual online dating sites.

development with commitment.

The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
but no one is using the 16PF5 (or similar) to assess personality of its members!
but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!
but no one is scientifically proven! No
actual online dating site is "scientifically proven" because no one
can prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who
will have more stable and satisfying relationships -and very low divorce rates- 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 for the majority (over 90%) of its members.
but no one can show you a list of compatible persons like this:
( for a prospective male customer / sample but calculated with real values)
“Over 1,000,000
million women database, here is the list of the 12 more compatible with
you. Notice that woman#1 is the most compatible with you but she could
be more compatible with other men right now.
woman#01 is 95.58476277% compatible
woman#02 is 95.56224356% compatible
woman#03 is 95.52998273% compatible
woman#04 is 94.18354278% compatible
woman#05 is 93.00453871% compatible
woman#06 is 93.00007524% compatible
woman#07 is 92.99738452% compatible
woman#08 is 92.37945551% compatible
woman#09 is 92.29779173% compatible

Good for short term, bad for long term.
"The company generated 55 cents of revenue per paying user in the second quarter, a penny higher than in the first quarter, but below the 58 cents per user a year ago. "
For me it is clear they do not want to innovate. They want to squeeze their big databases to get all the juice (money) from the wallets of the daters.
“There’s no question Tinder was a massive contributor to the quarter,” “We are selling more to our Tinder subscribers,” Match Group Chief Financial Officer Gary Swidler said.
That is why they had overpaid USD575 Million cash for PlentyOfFish, whose owner ran away with cash in his pockets and now Match Group has a big debt!

The Match Group overpaid for PlentyOfFish
(It was insane, USD575 Million for PlentyOfFish that past its prime 2
years ago). The Match Group had been doing all wrong, acquiring rotten
companies to show illusory success to its investors.
The Match Group is not going to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry in the next years.

Remember? In
the case of Yuliana Avalos and Melissa Midwest former 2014 big lawsuit
againts MATCH GROUP, third-party scammers in Africa or wherever were
creating fake profiles and catfishing with them.
IAC and MATCH GROUP were essentially aware of that situation and did nothing to stop it.
The USA Court ruled that IAC and MATCH GROUP were not responsible.
Attorney
Evan Spencer, said that despite the fact that anti-scammer technology
is available, MATCH GROUP failed to use such things as face-recognition
software – which would have discovered that her pictures were being used
hundreds of times. Yuliana Avalos has argued in a former 2014 big
lawsuit against Match that photos of her were posted without her
permission on the site as part of a scam that drove a man to commit
suicide.
