Tinder,
Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn,
CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, and many more: in a WAR
between themselves, no one will win!
There's no evidence that (actual) matching algorithms work, Dr. Finkel says.

Is Romantic Desire Predictable? Machine Learning Applied to Initial Romantic Attraction
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0956797617714580
PLEASE NOTICE: Romantic Attraction AND Compatibility between prospective mates for long term mating with commitment ARE NOT THE SAME CONCEPTS!
Tinder is like an out of control machine gun shooting flowers (good for nothing, useless).

Online Dating Pioneer: Algorithmic Insights Can Help Us Become Better People
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/09/online-dating-pioneer-algorithmic.html
NEW 2017 fresh paper "Assortative mating and couple similarity: Patterns, mechanisms, and consequences"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/08/new-2017-fresh-paper-assortative-mating.html
------------
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, 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.

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.
"Mr Right or Ms Right" OR The one or your soulmate or the perfect match 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 "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfect match".
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.

What
is important in attracting people to one another may not be important

and remember also:
In the case of Yuliana Avalos and Melissa Midwest former 2014
big lawsuit againts Match Group, third-party scammers in Africa or
wherever were creating fake profiles and catfishing with them.
IAC and Match Group were essentially aware of that situation and did nothing to stop it.
The USA Court ruled that IAC and Match Group were not responsible.
Attorney
Evan Spencer, said that despite the fact that anti-scammer technology
is available, Match Group failed to use such things as face-recognition software – which would have discovered that Yuliana Avalos's pictures
were being used hundreds of times.
Yuliana Avalos has argued in a
former 2014 big lawsuit against Match that photos of her were posted
without her permission on the site as part of a scam that drove a man to
commit suicide.

I was interviewed last January 2011, 6 LONG YEARS AGO, by "Caras y Caretas" (summer in
Argentina) I thought there were going to be a big scandal, because
former CEO of Match LATAM Countries recognized 75% inactive profiles at
Match Argentina, but nothing happened. Soon or later, all online dating
sites should scan all photos used in each and every profile!
