PerfectMatch.com is an established dating site that has proved very popular with singles that are looking for serious relationships. It is one of a number of dating sites that use scientifically based systems to help match people together that are likely to be compatible. PerfectMatch.com uses a system they call the Duet Total Compatibility System, and this was developed by Dr. Pepper Schwartz – an American professor of sociology.

The system is primarily based on several years of research by Dr. Schwartz into what makes relationships successful. It works by identifying certain aspects of members’ personalities through a detailed set of questions and then highlighting members which are likely to be compatible with each other. The site is particularly well known in the United States, where it has received a lot of television coverage, but accepts members from many different parts of the world.

Additional Information

1Signing Up & Creating Your Profile

To sign up and create your profile at PerfectMatch.com you have to go through a fairly lengthy process. You must first enter some personal details and then complete the required personality test that basically builds your profile for you. The test is largely made up of true or false questions and once completed you receive an analysis of your own personality and a guide to which personality types you are likely to be compatible with.

To improve the accuracy of any potential matches, you can also undertake a range of additional tests which cover more specific aspects of your life. Topics such as your religious beliefs and political leanings are covered, along with your goals, passions and lifestyle choices. It can take some time to go through all these tests, but they will give you a greater chance of receiving well targeted matches.

2Searching & Contacting Others

Most dating sites that use a compatibility matching system will only allow you to search through matches that the system has identified for you. However, at PerfectMatch.com you will be shown a number of ideal matches but are also free to search through the database of members and look for your own matches. This really gives you the best of both worlds, and provides a great deal of flexibility in terms of finding the right kind of person for you.

The communication tools at PerfectMatch are effective and easy to use. For the initial contact, you can choose from a number of “IceBreakers” to send; these are quick questions that are a great way to introduce yourself and find out a little more about the other person before deciding whether you want to engage further. You can then choose to communicate via private mail if you want to and there is also a system in place for when you want to invite another member out on a date.

3Additional Features

There is not much in the away of additional features at PerfectMatch.com. However, given that you receive personalized matches and can carry out your own searches there is not really the need for much else. There is the “Ask Dr. Schwartz” feature, which allows you to direct questions at the relationship expert and receive personalized dating advice. This can be very useful if you are new to online dating and perhaps need a little bit of help.

4Payment & Pricing

There are a number of membership options at PerfectMatch.com, including a free one. You can take the personality test and create your profile for free, and view your potential matches. If you want to communicate with your matches though, you will need a paid membership. A one month membership costs $59.95 or you can take two months for $79.90 ($39.95 per month). A three month membership is $110.85 ($36.96 per month) and a six month membership is $173.70 ($28.95 per month).

CONCLUSION

PerfectMatch.com has one distinct advantage over most other dating sites – you will receive potential matches tailored to your personality AND you can also search through other members based on your own criteria. Although the matching system is good enough that you are likely to find someone that way, it is still nice to have the option to take a look at some other profiles too. The site has a good number of members over 50, which makes it a good option for anyone looking for a senior dating site, but PerfectMatch.com caters for people of all ages who are looking for a serious relationship.
