Spark Networks SE Acquired Zoosk, Inc.?

Matchmakers Emerge as an Antidote to the Agony of Online Dating ???
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/03/matchmakers-emerge-as-antidote-to-agony.html



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.

"The personality test is based on the Five Factor Model theory of personality traits"
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 it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2019)

FUNNY interview: Parship CEO via OPW
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/01/funny-interview-parship-ceo-via-opw.html
 
eHarmony is ONLY a 18+  years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
It is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use the Big Five normative test in year 2019. 


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.

Reddit User Turns 'Black Mirror' Episode Gimmick Into Dating App (Juliet App)
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/01/reddit-user-turns-black-mirror-episode.html


"Mr Right or Ms Right" or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfectmatch" 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 you
"Mr Right or Ms Right"  or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfectmatch".
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.

 
The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests or political views".  

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.

 
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 (five thousand) online dating sites:

- but no one is using the 16PF5 (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.

Last May 2016, I suggested USA FTC investigate several online dating sites for misleading statements, false claims, overpromises.
Like Match, eHarmony, Zoosk, OkCupid, EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) copycat of eHarmony, Tinder and others.

Spark Networks (LOV) Investor Presentation - Slideshow 7 DEC 2017 (Affinitas, EliteSingles)
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/spark-networks-lov-investor.html
EliteSingles / eDarling sites are only copycats of eHarmony.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling / EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/about-article-elitesingles-full-of-fake.html
It is also said EliteSingles USA churn rate 87% every 5 months! 

Match Group is 10 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue.
eHarmony is 2 or 3 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue and 
eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And worse, NYSE:LOV can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc. in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/08/coo-von-betreiber-affinitas-im-neuen.html
 

eHarmony is a 18 years old obsolete site. The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
The 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 it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2018)  

The same for eDarling and EliteSingles sites!
