about article: "Relationship quotient: a science of love"
We often underestimate the need to match relationship quotients among couples because they usually aren’t as apparent as body mass indices or bullet points on a resume
http://www.livemint.com/Sundayapp/RR7ZyNk2aJspXs0x1EzYIO/Relationship-quotient-a-science-of-love.html
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!!! i.e. if you are a man seeking women, to show how compatible you are with a 20,000,000 women database, and to select a bunch of 100 women from 20,000,000 women database.
- 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.
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"

Security researchers have uncovered numerous exploits in popular dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and OK Cupid. Using exploits ranging from simple to complex, researchers at the Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab say they could access users’ location data, their real names and login info, their message history, and even see which profiles they’ve viewed. As the researchers note, this makes users vulnerable to blackmail and stalking.

NEW Lovoo review as part of Meet Group
https://www.netzwelt.de/lovoo/testbericht.html
https://seekingalpha.com/filing/3733637
What we do not like:
Attention! If you delete your profile at Lovoo, you must cancel the VIP subscription separately.
Lovoo urges you as a user formally to spend money. In the test, nearly half an hour after our registration, we received numerous push messages. They pointed out that a different user is looking at our profile. The text has always been formulated in such a way that it suggests a great interest in our profile. The goal of Lovoo is obviously to push us to buy credits to reveal the profile. Interestingly, the push messages ebbed in the test then also when we had a positive credit balance.
Both the purchase of credits as well as the VIP status, Lovoo's credit policy is not transparent. In the test, similar to Tinder, prices fluctuated depending on the terminal used. While we were on our Android smartphone for a month VIP membership to pay 11.99 euros, Lovoo offered us on the Windows computer the same subscription for 8 euros. So it is worth comparing. Lovoo also earns money with advertising - both on the desktop and in the app. The ads are decent but not intrusive.
Test score 6.2 of 10

FAILED and BIASED article "Mathematician reveals formula to find a perfect mate"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2015/03/failed-and-biased-article-mathematician.html
--------------
Compatibility is all about a high level on personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating with commitment, and not meet other people with similar interests or political views.
At the paper "Perceptions of Ideal and Former Partners' Personality and Similarity"
The authors had written
".... mismatches in personality are a frequently mentioned cause for relationship break-up. If former partners indeed have dissimilar personalities, our findings underline how difficult it is for many people to select a mate with a similar personality, or, alternatively, how little value individuals put on finding a similar partner in terms of personality.
The present study's results, as well as the results found in previous studies (e.g., Eastwick & Finkel, 2008), may be used to educate people, especially singles, about what really matters in long-term relationships, for instance, similarity in personality, instead of complementarity."
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"
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 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.

Please remember: Gale-Shapley marriage problem is a HOAX. It does not take into account personality similarity between prospective mates.
Also a marriage can be stable, but miserable. Gale-Shapley marriage problem does not take into account marital satisfaction.
Gale-Shapley marriage problem proposes stable marriage as an economic function (as a complex mental process).
They propose: a stable marriage can be predicted using mainly Gale_Shapley algorithm, General Equilibrium Theory and Non_cooperative Game Theory.
The Gale-Shapley algorithm is not good enough to solve the stable marriage problem because is based on initial preferences (attraction, fantasies, infatuation) and does not take into account temporal patterns of relationship variables.
