eHarmony is ONLY a 20 years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big
scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
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.
New Silly Patent for eHarmony: SOCIAL MATCHING
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/06/new-silly-patent-for-eharmony-social.html
The
Online Dating Industry is selling elixirs, tonics, snake oil liniments
and other patent medicine and performing like the Pharmaceutical and
Cosmetic Industry before the USA Food and Drug Administration was
created where any player can make any claim without any credentials.
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.

MBTI (Myers–Briggs personality types) is an OBSOLETE IPSATIVE TEST
The Swiss 16PT is NOT the same as the 16PF test

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 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 "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.

The app suggests 30 potential husbands or wives a month, and includes a 24/7 concierge service.
Pairs Engage costs 9,800 yen (USD 92) per month, plus another 9,800 yen as a sign-up fee once the pre-registration period ends – a third as much as five major conventional services, according to its website.
