Facebook dating is in big war with Tinder, Badoo, Bumble, PlentyOfFish (POF), OKCupid, Zoosk, Happn, Hinge, Once, CoffeeMeetsBagel (CMB) and many other online social dating applications that are vaporware!

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

C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.

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.
