The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.
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) or other system that learns your preferences (READ machine learning)
Also do not mistake "artificial intelligence" with a behavioural recommender system.
Please do not call AI to any silly recommender system that learns your preference.

Compatibility
is all about a high level on personality similarity between prospective

"The chemistry of lasting love is still a mystery, perhaps one that science will never solve. "
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."

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..

about DNA matching Instant Chemistry and SingldOut partnership
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2014/07/about-dna-matching-instant-chemistry.html
Genetic Matchmaking is mainly based on the T_shirt Experiment that only proved:
normally cycling
women (not pregnant and not taking contraceptive pills) are
(temporarily) attracted by the perspiration scent of clothes used by men
with a Major Histocompatibility Complex MHC more dissimilar to theirs,
and not proved: women attracted by those men for long term mating with commitment.
and
2 Scientific Papers debunk their claims.
1) "Human oestrus" Gangestad & Thornhill (2008)
"Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
2) "Does the contraceptive pill alter mate choice in humans?" Alvergne & Lummaa (2009)
"..
whereas normally cycling women express a preference for MHC (Major
Histocompatibility Complex) dissimilarity in mates, pill users prefer
odours of MHC-SIMILAR men, indicating that pill use might eliminate
adaptive preferences for genetic dissimilarity."
................
"....,
Roberts et al. attempted to eliminate these potential confounds by
adopting a within-subject design in which women's mate preferences were
assessed before and after they began taking the pill. Women starting the
pill showed a significant preference shift towards MHC SIMILARITY
compared with three months before the pill was taken, a shift that was
not observed in the control group of normally cycling women."
Please remember personality = temperament + character
Personality is composed of two basic types of traits:
traits that an individual acquires, dimensions of character;
and
traits with biological underpinnings, dimensions of temperament (Cloninger 1987)
The
key to long-lasting romance; COMPATIBILITY is: STRICT PERSONALITY
SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".
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"

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.
