FUNNY: IDEA's Project 0d8 Helps Dating Services Improve
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/07/funny-ideas-project-0d8-helps-dating.html
Improvement is not innovation!
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/01/mistakes-at-behavioral-economics-of.html

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.   

IAC's Q2 2012 results (and Meetic)

The IAC had increased its paid subscribers database thanks to acquiring companies, like SinglesNet, Meetic, OkCupid and others, but if they acquire is a sign they can not innovate.


Q2 2012 showed a decrease comparing Q1 2012, the same for Meetic


Paid subscribers Q1 2012: 2,821,000 (includes the ones from Meetic Group)
Paid subscribers Q2 2012: 2,787,000 (includes the ones from Meetic Group) and IAC says 750,000 paid subscribers from Meetic.

 (Meetic, which has been consolidated since September 1, 2011, had 844 thousand paid subscribers in Q2 2011.)

 For Meetic:

"Revenue for the 1st half of 2012 totalled 82.0 million euros, and integrates a 13.2% decrease in the number of subscribers, which totalled 733,158 at 30th June."
