April Fools’ Day in Australia: eHarmony is introducing ‘magnetism’ to its dating app.



https://www.marketingmag.com.au/news-c/april-fools-day-2017/

To be honest, eHarmony is entirely an April Fools’ Day for its customers every day.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
eHarmony is a 16+ years old obsolete site and a big fraud. The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%. (via reverse engineering by Fernando Ardenghi)
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.

Someone named John wrote and deleted a comment there:
   
John

Fernando - is your response due to the fact that you have tried to launch your own dating platform since 2001 and have continuously failed to raise any investment or in fact launch your site....despite telling everyone repeatedly that your are the best in the world?

---------------------

Here is what I had said to John:

I am NOT the best in the world.

I have only invented a high precision matching algorithm that I think it deserves the opportunity to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

What comes after the Social Networking wave?
The Next Big Investment Opportunity on the Internet will be .... Personalization!
Personality Based Recommender Systems and Strict Personality Based Compatibility Matching Engines for serious Online Dating with the normative 16PF5 personality test.

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 sh
ow 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.




eHarmony Premium, new feature / option from eHarmony

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/increase-odds-finding-love-eharmony-150000518.html
"eHarmony Premium is a refreshing new way to help people immediately increase their chances of finding love. This is just the beginning. We plan to roll out additional amenities and tiers in the coming year including professional photography and coaching advice, to name a few."

eHarmony closed eH+ and ElevatedCareers and now offers a new silly option, at USD 30 per month, nobody will care?
Please be alerted The Big Five normative personality test, had been revealed as incorrect and incomplete model of personality. Now it is obsolete and a fraud to use it.
The Online Dating Industry needs Innovations, not more bells and whistles!

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/very-easy-to-copycat-eharmony-but-very.html

eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like the online dating sites EliteSingles in Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Chile, Mexico; eDarling in Spain, German, France, Russia; also TeAmo in Russia is another copycat of eHarmony; esync (eSynchrony) in Singapore, MiMediaManzana in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Chile, etc. and Marrily in India.

PAPER: Who is dating and gaming online?

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563217302017
Categorizing, profiling, and predicting online daters and gamers

Computers in Human Behavior Volume 73, August 2017, Pages 152–160

Highlights: 



Online daters and gamers have sociodemographic differences in their profiles.
• Negative attitudes exert a significant impact on online dating and gaming as much as positive attitudes do.
• The curvilinear effect of age is present for online dating but not for online gaming.

Abstract
This analysis of U.S.-based survey data from the Pew Research Center profiles and categorizes online daters and gamers to determine the factors predicting whether an individual has experience of online dating or gaming. The profiles of online daters and gamers show sociodemographic differences by user type (both daters and gamers, daters only, gamers only, and neither daters nor gamers). Attitudinal differences are also identified across those user types and sociodemographic categories. The binary logistic regression analysis found that positive and negative attitudes about online dating and gaming exert a significant influence on whether an individual has experience with either.

article: Why Tinder won't find you love!





Almost HALF of users only swipe as a quick distraction or confidence boost

    Research reveals that Tinder is seldom used to meet new people
    Forty four per cent of users only use it for a confidence boost or procrastination
    Only four per cent of Tinder users are looking for a relationship through the app
    For every one person on Tinder looking for love, there are 10 who have no intention of meeting someone through the app

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.

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"

Match’s Dilemma: Tinder Thrives as Dating Fades
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/02/matchs-dilemma-tinder-thrives-as-dating.html

Data is mother’s milk to Netflix as it tweaks algorithms

to find that perfect content — just like a dating app ???
http://business.financialpost.com/fp-tech-desk/personal-tech/data-is-mothers-milk-to-netflix-as-it-tweaks-algorithms-to-find-that-perfect-content-just-like-a-dating-app
"The most important work I think we do is around personalization,” said Reed Hastings, the company’s chief executive, during a Q&A session “This idea that the more you watch, the more Netflix learns your tastes. Personalization is really the thing that the Internet can do that linear (distribution) can’t, and that’s a real breakthrough.”

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 but there are different formulas to calculate similarity.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/03/paper-game-based-extraction-of-web.html
In case you did not notice, recommender systems are morphing to compatibility matching engines, as the same used in the Online Dating Industry for years, with low success rates!!! 
Because they mostly use the Big Five model to assess personality and the Pearson correlation coefficient to calculate similarity.
Please remember: Personality traits are highly stable in persons over 25 years old to 45 years old.


How the Big Five (Big 5, OCEAN, or FFI five factor inventory, FFM five factor model ) normative personality test was revealed as .... an incomplete and incorrect model to assess personality ? Short answer: thanks to commingling analysis.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/12/how-big-five-big-5-normative.html
Commingling analysis is a statistical method for distinguishing between one (usually normal) distribution and a mixture of two or more distributions.
