Matchmaking searches
�@ |
Many dating sites have a 'compatibility
search', or 'mutual match' search. This search type attempts to
match you up with compatible singles by comparing your profile
with others using an algorithm designed by the site. Each dating
site has its own method of matching, some are better than
others. The question is, should you trust a computer to decide
who you belong with? For those of you that have had unsuccessful
relationship after unsuccessful relationship, it's certainly
worth a try! Our general opinion on matching systems is mixed.
On one hand, they can be helpful in filtering out the thousands
of profiles that you have no interest in, leaving only profiles
that have solid potential. On the other hand, you are likely to
miss out on the actual people that you would be good with simply
because you put all of your faith in a computer system to find
the right person for you. Our advice is to try them out and see
what kind of results you get. Maybe they will work great, maybe
not. But don't rely on them completely. Run searches manually,
contact a lot of people. You really never know if someone is
right for you until you get to know them. A profile is
definitely not going to determine if you are going to fall in
love with someone. It is merely a guide. |
