Launched in July 2013, after eHarmony Inc. refused to acquire the whole of Affinitas GmbH. parent company of eDarling / EliteSingles last May 2012, EliteSingles is only a "bad" copycat of eHarmony.
When eHarmony was launched in August year 2000, the Big Five normative personality test was revealed as incorrect and incomplete model of personality!!! Please see: THE HEXACO PERSONALITY INVENTORY - REVISED / A MEASURE OF THE SIX MAJOR DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY http://hexaco.org/history
Tinder, Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, Badoo and many more: in a WAR between themselves, no one will win!
Badoo is in war with Zoosk and Badoo backed Bumble to fight and destroy Tinder. Tinder is in big war with Badoo, and can not outperform it. The mission of Tinder was to kill Badoo, but it seems Tinder is killing Match. It seems there is an internal war between Tinder and Match App. If Tinder is cannibalizing Match and Match Group now wants to promote more Match App and not much Tinder because Tinder is not monetizing as expected? ------------- The 8 tips to innovate in the Online Dating Industry! http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/12/the-8-tips-to-innovate-in-online-dating.html
Hinge: A two old months interview where the CEO explains he can not beat Tinder and will waste over USD 20 Million ? http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/04/hinge-two-old-months-interview-where.html Tinder, Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, Badoo and many more: in a WAR between themselves, no one will win! Social dating is vaporware. Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient. It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance. The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".

Please see also: eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like the online dating sitesEliteSinglesin 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., Marrily in India and now LemonSwan in Germany and other countries.
LemonSwan-Prinzip == home grown Big Five normative personality test.
Unless they can prove their method 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
the members of the site: It is a HOAX, a big FRAUD. Unfortunately the Big Five normative personality test is obsolete, it has been proven as an incomplete and incorrect model of personality.

The
Big Five (Big5, OCEAN, Five Factor Model) normative personality test is
the biggest mistake Psychologists made since several years ago. The
Big Five is also known as the Five Factor Model theory of personality
traits, a psychological model based on research by Paul Costa and Robert
McCrae. http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/02/edarling-german-version-homepage.html
Lack Of Innovation and 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.
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 until now 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.
The same approach to innovate in the Online Dating Industry
== 16PF5 test or similar to assess personality traits and a new method
to calculate similarity between quantized patterns.
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 Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo!!!
Dating.ai lets users scour big dating sites for particular faces in the crowd. For generations, technology has been driving the way we date; with both innovation and relationships, however, it is vitally important to realize when it's time to hit the brakes. Case in point: Dating.ai, a new app which uses neural network-based facial recognition AI to scour dating platforms for profiles that match a user's specified 'type'--or even belong to a specific person.
But ... 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.
Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient. It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.

Other article says: "Tantan now claimes 90 million registered users. Excluding the fake and banned accounts, the number of valid users boils down to 60 million, roughly the size of the population of Italy. Among them, “post-90s” account for more than 75%. The DAUs reached 6 million and the second-day return rate is around 75%. Users have made over 3 billion matches in total, the firm disclosed." http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/chinese-tinder-like-tantan-soon-to.html 3 billion matches in total == that is the same to say out of control machine gun shooting flowers (good for nothing, useless).

The
Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating
sites: Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, LoveScout24 (FriendScout24),
OurTime, HowAboutWe, PlentyOfFish and many more and all of them are past
their primes, reached operating ceiling and they are in decadence.
