Chemistry.com Review

1Signing Up & Creating Your Profile

The first step in signing up at Chemistry.com is easy enough and you just have to provide a small amount of basic information. There is a lot more involved, though, in the process for creating a profile – which is primarily made up of the very comprehensive personality test. The first part of the test requires you to answer a selection of fairly standard multiple choice questions that are similar to those you will come across at most dating sites, designed to provide an insight into your personality. There are also a number of more advanced questions too, some of which involve images and audio.

The next part is largely based on factual information and you must answer questions relating to your appearance, your education, your religion and your work. After this you will be asked a series of question regarding what you are looking for in a potential match. Finally, there is a free text section where you can write anything you like about yourself. You can also choose to add some photos to your profile at this stage.

2Searching & Contacting Others

At many online dating sites you need to be pro-active in searching through the profiles of other members and selecting those that interest you. Because Chemistry.com uses their unique system to try and find suitable matches though, once you have added your profile you will then automatically be provided with a selection of potential matches. These profiles can be sorted using a variety of criteria and you can then take a look through them and decide whether you are interested or not.

The communication tools are very good, and it is easy to get in touch with someone that interests you. You will also receive notifications when other members express an interest in wanting to know more about you. A feature called “First Meeting” helps to guide you through the process of making contact with someone and getting to know them better and, if it reaches the next stage, arranging a face to face meeting.

3Additional Features of the Site

As the main focus is about matching you with compatible members and helping you get in touch, there is not really a huge amount required in the way of additional features. There are a few little extras, though, that you might find useful. One particularly good feature is the control you have over who can see your photos. It is very important to upload photos when using a dating site, as other users will often ignore a profile without them; however you may want to upload some photos that you don’t want everyone to see. At Chemistry.com you can categorize your photos so you can have some that everyone can see and others that can only be viewed by those you provide access to.

4Payment & Pricing of Chemistry.com

There is a free option at Chemistry.com, which allows you to complete the personality test and create your profile.
