Soul2Match, FindYourFaceMate and Digital Physiognomy

Several times I had reviewed Soul2Match, FindYourFaceMate, "FaceReader from Profiler1: Personality Traits analysis based on facial features." and other dating sites with biometric software which analyzes facial features and bone structure, helping to detect levels of soulmate love and friendship like the Digital Physiognomy software


Soul2Match, FaceReader and FindYourFaceMate are SCAMS, HOAXES

 The paper "Recognition of Psychological Characteristics from Face" is also useless for the Online Dating Industry.

Do you want to know why?
Here are the answers:

1) 
Profiling by music preferences to assess personality
video preferences to assess personality
color preferences to assess personality
bookmarks preferences to assess personality
handwriting analysis to assess personality
purchases and buying trends from credit cards to assess personality
facial features to assess personality
and other methods like them add distortion to the measurement.

ALL indirect methods, ADD a lot of DISTORTION to the measurement.
The best way to assess personality of daters is using a normative instrument.



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

Please remember:
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.

Also there is a similarity trilogy between genetic, mate choice and personality based recommender systems.

WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
but no one is using the 16PF5 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!

The Online Dating Industry needs a very powerful algorithm like the "Teller Ulam design". In this case 100 times more powerful than actual matching algorithms.

Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve at least:
3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.
100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

The only way to achieve that 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. The ensemble of the 16PF5 is: 10E16, big number as All World Population is nearly 7.0 * 10E9 (estimated OCT 2011)
- expressing compatibility with eight decimals, like The pattern 6.7.6.8.9.6.7.7.8.7.2.5.8.7.3.4 is 92.55033557%  +/- 0.00000001% similar to the pattern 7.7.6.8.8.7.6.5.8.7.4.5.7.7.3.4
Using a quantized pattern comparison method (part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation) to calculate similarity between prospective mates.

That is the only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

All other proposals are .............. NOISE and perform as placebo!

  1. The above article makes some erroneous assertions that i'd briefly like to correct. Find Your Facemate does not claim that one can read personalities by looking at the face. Our dating site employs a unique algorithm that uses the scientifcally valid evidence that people are innately attracted to those with similar facial features to their own. Our research indicates that successful long term relationships are predicated on real chemistry and that attraction is greater where facial feature similarity exists. Of course, once chemistry is generated, it is up to the individual partners to evaluate personality, style and values for compatibility. We offer to bring people together who have greater potential for chemistry; the rest is up to them.

  2. "Our dating site employs a unique algorithm that uses the scientifcally valid evidence"

    Hi Christina, can you prove that in a peer reviewed paper?
