BBC article: "Why people behave badly on dating apps"

 




https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20220505-why-people-behave-badly-on-dating-apps

MTCH Avoids USD844 Million in USA FTC Claims on Judge’s Ruling

From iDate2004 to iDate2013 / FINAL CONCLUSIONS

article: Why the VC Missed Out on Gaming and Online Dating
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2022/03/article-why-vc-missed-out-on-gaming-and.html

 

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.
 
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".  

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 innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

article about "How Dating App Algorithms Work to Find the One for You "???
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2021/04/article-about-how-dating-app-algorithms.html
 

compatibility == STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2021/04/compatibility-strict-personality.html

The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.

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 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 normative model or the HEXACO normative model are not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the normative 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.

article about "How Dating App Algorithms Work to Find the One for You "???

PAPER: Plenty of (Similar) fish in the sea:
The role of social identity and self-categorization in niche online dating
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2020/04/paper-plenty-of-similar-fish-in-sea.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.

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

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.
