EliteSingles TV ad: Needle in a Haystack
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/12/elitesingles-tv-ad-needle-in-haystack.html
EliteSingles/eDarling
(Affinitas GmbH.) sites are only copycats of eHarmony sites and
eHarmony is a 16+ years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big
scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big
Five normative test used by eHarmony and EliteSingles/eDarling, had been
proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure
personality of persons.
eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And
worse, Affinitas GmbH. can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc.
in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.
EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) Silly Global Rebrand WITH NO INNOVATION!
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/05/elitesingles-affinitas-gmbh-silly.html
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling/EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.

Affinitas GmbH. acquired French dating site Attractive World?
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/affinitas-gmbh-acquired-french-dating.html
My bet:
Affinitas GmbH. can not beat eHarmony Inc. with a copycat.
Match Group (MTCH) nor Oakley Capital are going to acquire Affinitas GmbH.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/02/affinitas-gmbh-wanting-to-be-acquired.html
Affinitas
GmbH. will run out of money and close soon. They had closed in Turkey
and Italy, and many of Affinitas GmbH.'s sites has little or no traffic
at all by Alexa. Its Management Team can not innovate and revolutionize
the Online Dating Industry.

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.

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.
I live in a South American country and I am really astonished to see how online daters in "1st World" countries are really victims of human experimentation.
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.

What do economic theories such as the Nash equilibrium and the optimal stopping problem have to do with finding love?
NOTHING, THEY ARE STUPIDITIES, NO MORE THAN THAT!
Same as 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.
It is a HOAX.

Personality Based Recommender Systems are the next generation of recommender

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.
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.
Online
Dating sites OFFERING COMPATIBILITY MATCHING METHODS BASED ON
PERSONALITY SIMILARITY 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 normative personality test instead.
The same applies for Personality Based Recommender Systems.

PAPER: A Recommender System based on an Improved Simultaneous Selection Method of Query Items and Neighbors

“It’s never been cheaper to start a dating site and never been more expensive to grow one,” said Mark Brooks, a consultant for the internet dating industry who also runs Online Personals Watch. Part of the problem, he said, is that 70 percent of internet dating in the United States is now on mobile.
“It used to be 10 percent of those who registered converted to paid,” Mr. Brooks said. “Now it’s more like 2 to 3 percent.”
Whether JDate and ChristianMingle end up refreshed by Spark or in a new marriage remains to be seen. Mr. Goldberg did not want to address that issue, but he said he was certain of one thing: “I don’t know what it will look like, but I bet the world of online dating in 18 months to two years will look completely different than it does today. That’s just the way we’re moving.”

eHarmony CEO talks stupidities with Mark Brooks. NO INNOVATION AT ALL for eHarmony!

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.

eHarmony is a 16+ years old obsolete site. The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
16+ LONG YEARS AND eHarmony DOES NOT HAVE ANY SCIENTIFIC PAPER FOR PUBLIC AND ACADEMIC SCRUTINY OF FINDINGS.
eHarmony
is not "scientifically proven" because eHarmony Labs could not prove
eHarmony's 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.
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 key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY
is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with
similar interests".
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!
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.
but no one can show you a list of compatible persons like this:
( for a prospective male customer / sample but calculated with real values)
“Over
1,000,000 million women database, here is the list of the 12 more
compatible with you. Notice that woman#1 is the most compatible with you
but she could be more compatible with other men right now.
woman#01 is 95.58476277% compatible
woman#02 is 95.56224356% compatible
woman#03 is 95.52998273% compatible
woman#04 is 94.18354278% compatible
woman#05 is 93.00453871% compatible
woman#06 is 93.00007524% compatible
woman#07 is 92.99738452% compatible
woman#08 is 92.37945551% compatible
woman#09 is 92.29779173% compatible
woman#10 is 92.27114287% compatible
woman#11 is 92.19515551% compatible
woman#12 is 92.12249558% compatible”
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"
The only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry
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 and expressing compatibility with
eight decimals (needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of
pattern recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity
between prospective mates.)
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
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.
Very easy to copycat eHarmony, but very difficult to innovate: a 100 times better algorithm than eHarmony.
