Why online dating apps are the real black hole?
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/04/why-online-dating-apps-are-real-black.html
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 (five thousand) online dating sites
- but no one is using the 16PF6 (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!!!
i.e. if you are a man seeking women, to show how compatible you are
with a 20,000,000 women database, and to select a bunch of 100 women
from 20,000,000 women database.
- 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.
The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY
is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with
similar interests or political views".
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 Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.
Lack Of Innovation & 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.
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF6 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

Facebook announced today at its F8 conference that Dating is opening in 14 more countries, bringing the total to 19. It will launch in the US before the end of the year. Dating brings with it a new feature called Secret Crush that expands it beyond strangers and friends-of-friends. Choose up to 9 friends you like-like. If they’ve opted into Facebook Dating, they’ll get a notification that some friend has a crush on them. If they add you as a Secret Crush too, you’re both notified and can chat on Messenger.
Facebook dating launches at Chile, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana and Suriname.

Please remember EliteSingles / SilverSingles powered by Spark Networks and copycats of eHarmony, are HOAXES, BIG FRAUDS.
eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like
the online dating sites EliteSingles / SilverSingles in 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
LemonSwan in Germany and other countries.
The
Five Factor Model aka Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its
copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model
to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now several newspapers talk about the "Tinder created by Facebook"

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. The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY
is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with
similar interests or political views".
PAPER "Only the congruent survive - Personality similarities in couples. Personality and Individual Differences"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/04/paper-partnership-longevity-and.html
PAPER "Partnership longevity and personality congruence in couples"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2010/04/only-congruent-survive-personality.html
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 16PF6
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 16PF6 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to

The new Private Detector feature is something Andreev and Wolfe Herd have been working on for a while. In her role as CEO of Bumble, Wolfe Herd has been working with Texas state lawmakers (Bumble’s HQ is in Austin) on a bill to make the sharing of lewd photos a punishable offence.
Perhaps persons with facial surgery or even worse Photoshopped / altered / retouched images (nose, lips, eyebrows) can introduce bias in the algorithm.
Also
* Normally cycling women versus women using hormonal contraceptive methods.
"Ovulatory cycle and changes in face width:
How women can tell when other females are ovulating using clues in
their face - and how they may then try to hide their partners from the
'threat' of these fertile ladies"
