If new dating app Wonder is *secretly* backed by former Tinder founders?





OPW INTERVIEW - Dec 28 - Sean Rad and Justin Mateen, the founders of Tinder, have something in common with Ryan Surratt. They're all USC grads. Ryan's built 'Wonder' a new dating app that focuses on getting people together for real world experiences, and weeds out the fibbers and ghosters. Here's his overview of the new dating app Wonder, which launches in L.A. in January.

FC article: 16 smartphone apps to delete before the new year
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2018/12/fc-article-16-smartphone-apps-to-delete.html

The Online Dating Industry is selling elixirs, tonics, snake oil liniments and other patent medicine and performing like the Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industry before the USA Food and Drug Administration was created where any player can make any claim without any credentials.


The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests or political views". 
 

 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.

Proof of FRAUD from ... Affiny by Meetic (It is the same as MatchAffinity in 2010)





https://www.rencontre-sur-internet.info/affiny-le-nouveau-meetic-affinity/

"a serious dating service based on *complementarity*, thanks to the personality test"

"For those seeking a lasting relationship
Far from ephemeral adventures, Affiny helps you find the right person. With a *tailored personality test*, we guide you to profiles that really fit you and share your lifestyle and values. A little logic, a little magic, and a lot of love!"


The Big Five normative personality test, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons. 

It is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use the Big Five normative test.  

MeeticAffinity / MatchAffinity rebranded as Affiny !

https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2018/09/techcrunch-article-about-swiped-hooking.html


"Mr Right or Ms Right" or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfectmatch" does not exist! It will only exist a pool of compatible persons, not more than that.
No online dating site can promise you to find you
"Mr Right or Ms Right"  or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfectmatch".
Moreover the person you are looking for does not exist or if it exist, he/she does not want to meet you because your are not compatible.


The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests or political views". 
 

 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.
