PlentyOfFish (POF) 1 year under the umbrella of Match Group in severe decadence
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/if-plentyoffish-hacked-again-and-all.html
The Match Group had been doing all wrong, acquiring rotten companies to show illusory success to its investors.
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.

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.
In case you had not noticed,
recommender systems are morphing to compatibility matching engines, as
the same used in the Online Dating Industry.
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.
Online
Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000
(twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are
not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5
test instead and another method to calculate similarity.
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.
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.

The Secret Sauce Behind Online Dating ? There is no one yet!

Abstract
The rapid growth of social network services has produced a considerable amount of data, called big social data. Big social data are helpful for improving personalized recommender systems because these enormous data have various characteristics. Therefore, many personalized recommender systems based on big social data have been proposed, in particular models that use people relationship information. However, most existing studies have provided recommendations on special purpose and single-domain SNS that have a set of users with similar tastes, such as MovieLens and Last.fm; nonetheless, they have considered closeness relation. In this paper, we introduce an appropriate measure to calculate the closeness between users in a social circle, namely, the friendship strength. Further, we propose a friendship strength-based personalized recommender system that recommends topics or interests users might have in order to analyze big social data, using Twitter in particular. The proposed measure provides precise recommendations in multi-domain environments that have various topics. We evaluated the proposed system using one month's Twitter data based on various evaluation metrics. Our experimental results show that our personalized recommender system outperforms the baseline systems, and friendship strength is of great importance in personalized recommendation.

The
key to long-lasting romance; COMPATIBILITY is: STRICT PERSONALITY
SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".
Only 3 major discoveries can help to revolutionize the online dating industry.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/12/the-8-tips-to-innovate-in-online-dating.html
The 3 milestone discoveries of the 2001 - 2010 decade for Theories of Romantic Relationships Development are:
I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users. "Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
II)
People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with
their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other
system that learns your preferences are useless)
III) What is
important in attracting people to one another may not be important in
making couples happy. Compatibility is all about a high level on
personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating
with commitment.
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
