Compatibility IS REALLY No. 1 Ingredient To Satisfying Relationship, Study Says
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/07/compatibility-is-really-no-1-ingredient.html
"The researchers studied 2,500 heterosexual couples who have been married for about 20 years and discovered that shared interests weren’t the No. 1 element to a satisfying relationship despite what many people – and dating apps – believe."

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.
 

FAILED PROPOSAL: eVow

eVow, the paid independent site from PlentyOfFish launched 13 months ago, intended for serious daters,  failed.

eVow claims "At eVow, we use an innovative compatibility matching system that we created specifically for singles who are serious about finding long-term relationships."
But guess ... that "innovative compatibility matching system" is only a HOAX.

5 social dating FAILED PROPOSALS

Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it does not need to "embrace" the social networking phenomenom; it needs to be more effective/efficient. It needs to reduce the false positives problem.
I remember 5 social dating companies who had failed to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry, like

Engage (then rebranded to Ignighter group dating)

Triangulate

Ge.la.to (then rebranded to Twnty)

Thread

Smartdate

FAILED PROPOSAL: Cupids X Factors

The era of "One could make any claim and engage in the Online Dating Industry without any credentials" should end soon.

THIS FAILURE SHOULD BE A CASE OF STUDY.

Cupids X Factors was a failed proposal of nearly 4 years ago. Never took off.


"Cupidsxfactors plans to revolutionize the online dating industry with its unique (patent pending) matchmaking process, which matches potentials based on 10 key factors in a person’s life. "
"  that everyone is given a chance to fully explore this innovative website. "
