REVIEW: Can PerfectMatch Help You Find Your Perfect Match?

PerfectMatch.com attempts to create exactly what their name suggests: a perfect match. They are one of many online dating websites that have cropped up over the last decade. PerfectMatch is a little bit different, though. Pepper Schwartz, a self-professed “relationship expert” and a professor at the University of Washington, helped develop one of the site’s main features: the DUET Total Compatibility System. This is essentially a survey that creates a personality portfolio for you and other members of the site. But, is it worth trying out? This PerfectMatch review will let you know.

Starting Out

Immediately after signing up for PerfectMatch, you will be taken to DUET Total Compatibility System survey. The survey is modeled after the Myers-Briggs personality test and designed to help you find the ideal match. The survey is really just a bunch of true-false statements. You simply have to answer true or false to indicate if the statement applies to you or not. The test is split into two different parts (Similarity and Complementary) with 4 sections each. There are 7 questions in each of the 8 sections. The sections are delineated by their topics which include:

Romantic impulsivity

Personal energy

Outlook

Predictability

Flexibility

Decision-making style

Emotionality

Self-nurturing

This is, of course, meant to give you a more well-rounded personality portfolio and improve the selection of your matches.

Functionality

Once you’ve finished taking the DUET test, you can start building your public profile on PerfectMatch. This includes filling in basic information about yourself while also taking a few more assessments. Of course, all of this is optional, but it does behoove you to produce the fullest profile you can.

You can analyze your DUET test results at any time. This is convenient because it helps you understand your personality a little bit better. It also lets you know which personality types are compatible with yours. Of course, taking further assessments on the website helps create an even fuller picture of your romantic sensibility. All of this information is located conveniently in a sidebar on your homepage.

There are various toolbars at the top of the page, but the most important one is, of course, the one entitled “Perfect Matches.” Here, the website will provide you with profiles that match your compatibility score. You can search through these profiles and contact the individuals on the other end.

You can also send potential matches “IceBreakers.” This is the name of a question and answer system incorporated into the website. You can send a first-round of IceBreakers to a potential match. If you are still interested, then you can send a second, more in-depth round of IceBreakers to really connect on a deeper level.

If you are not satisfied with the automatic Perfect Matches that the website will send you, then you can also use their robust search function. You can search based on numerous factors, including your compatibility on the DUET test.

Price

PerfectMatch costs $59.95 for a one-month membership. If you get multiple-month memberships, you can lower the monthly cost (although the one-time fee will be greater). For instance, the 3-month membership is technically $36.95 per month. You will be charged $110.85 up front and pay $29.95 monthly for that three-month period.

Obviously, opting into the PerfectMatch program lets you contact other singles, add more photos, access the “Ask Dr. Schwartz” feature, and use advanced search tools. With a Platinum membership (one-step up from the Premium membership), you can do all of the following:

Be featured higher on search lists

Contact every single member on PerfectMatch.com

Be highlighted as a Platinum profile

Pros

Extensive DUET personality assessment

Easy to build your profile

Perfect Match does all the work for you

Nice IceBreaker feature

Cons

One of the most expensive options

Takes a while to start searching profiles

Not good if you don’t like taking tests

Final Verdict

So, is PerfectMatch worth your investment? In general, it is. It’s got everything you could ask for in a dating website, and you can certainly find your perfect match with ease. That’s why we give PerfectMatch 9 stars out of 10.

REVIEW: Can Spark.com Light Your Spark?

When you have some chemistry with another person, you may refer to it as a “spark.” That’s why Spark.com’s name is so appropriate. The dating service offers you a chance to find that spark in one of many different profiles. Its tagline is “A fun site for serious daters,” which is a fairly accurate description of the website. But, is Spark.com really what you need to find love? We’ll let you know in this Spark.com review.

Getting Started

Unlike many other dating websites out there, Spark.com actually allows you to browse through profiles without having to sign up for anything. In fact, it’s the most prominent option on their homepage. You can search through profiles to decide if you want to create a profile of your own. Starting a profile is easy on Spark.com. You will be asked a series of very basic questions (location, username, age, etc.). Once you’ve finished with the basic questions, you’ll be taken to a page that gives you three options:

Subscribe to Spark.com

Continue building your profile

Start browsing members

In most cases, you’ll want to continue building you profile to ensure that you have the best chance of attracting visitors. Spark.com also makes editing you profile easy. You will see your profile as other people see it, except you will also be given the option to edit everything. You can fill in information about yourself ranging from your physical appearance to what you want in a significant other.

There are also numerous essay questions that allow you to expound on your personality, daily Q & As, and a compatibility test. All of this certainly helps you indicate your level of seriousness as well as your compatibility with other members.

Using the Site

Once you’ve filled out your profile, you can start searching through matches on Spark.com. The layout of the website is exceedingly easy to use. There is a top toolbar with several tabs on the left side. These tabs include:

Home

Inbox

Matches

Search

Hot Lists

Community

Your Profile

The Matches tab is where most people will check first. This is a list of people in your area who are most compatible with your profile. There is also a “Secret Admirer” option in the Matches tab that allows you to view basic information about certain profiles and decide if you are a “secret admirer.” The other person will play the Secret Admirer game and if they also decide to be your secret admirer, then you will be able to communicate with them.

The search function on Spark.com is also easy. You can perform an advanced search or a quick search to find potential matches. You can also just search through profiles as a photo gallery. In the “Hot Lists” section of the site, you can see who has looked at your profile and which profiles you have viewed. The “Community” section includes chatrooms, message boards, and the ability to send “E-cards” to other members.

Price

Of course, most of the messaging capabilities on the website are only available if you have a subscription. There is currently only one option if you’re looking to subscribe to the Spark.com service. The price is $24.99 per month, which will recur every month until you cancel the subscription. The problem with the price is that there just isn’t a large swath of members on the website. In fact, Spark.com will show you how many members are currently online, and that number will almost never break 1,000.

That beings said, access to chatrooms and message boards can be fun, and there’s always a chance that your true match will be on Spark.com instead of a more heavily populated dating website.

PROS

Incredibly easy-to-use

Vast search capabilities

Fun messaging system

Chatrooms and message boards are an added bonus

CONS

Not enough members to warrant the subscription price

A fairly basic website when it comes down to it

Final Verdict

While Spark.com clearly doesn’t have a ton of members, it is still a pretty functional site with quite a few features. Most dating websites don’t have compatibility tests and thorough profiles like Spark. That being said, building your profile on this site could all be a moot point if you can’t find anyone else to communicate with. Although the community may be small, there is a chance that you could find love on Spark.com. That’s why we give it 7 stars out of 10.

REVIEW: How Good is AsianDating.com?

AsianDating.com is a dating website that is geared toward Asian members. Of course, anyone can join AsianDating.com regardless of their ethnicity. It has been called one of the best Asian dating sites, especially if you are looking for an Asian individual to date. But, is that an accurate adjudication of the website? Or does have a few issues? We’ll let you know in the AsianDating.com review.

Opening an Account

It’s easy to sign up for an account on AsianDating.com. You’ll need to answer a few questions about yourself and about your ideal match before being able to browse through profiles. Again, you do not have to be Asian to open an account on AsianDating.com.

If you want to edit your profile, you can easily go to the “My Profile” tab. You can edit individual items in categories like:

Profile

Match

Interests

Personality

CupidTag

The CupidTag feature is just a way for you to add a few keywords to your profile that make it easier to find. For instance, if you like soccer, you can just put in “soccer” as one of your CupidTags, and people will be able to search that to find you. All in all, the profiles on AsianDating.com are actually quite large. Of course, they use a template that can be found on many other dating websites, but it’s a good template to use.

AsianDating Features

Despite the name of the website, AsianDating.com appears to be more interested in connecting Asian people with other non-Asian people. Of course, this isn’t the stated goal of the site, but when they have galleries like “Exotic Asian Beauties” and “Ladies from the East,” then you start to realize who this site is marketed to.

Many of the members on AsianDating.com are actually from Asia. In fact, one of the primary questions in the initial profile questionnaire is “Would you be willing to move outside your own country?”

In terms of actual features, there’s not a considerable amount that sets AsianDating.com apart from other dating websites. As we’ve noted, the website uses a template, so it’s likely that you’ve seen a website layout that is identical to this one. At the top of each page, you’ll find salient links like:

Mail

Search

Lists

My Profile

You can communicate with other members using standard email messages, instant messaging, favorites, or showing interest. Your Favorites and your Interests will appear in the Lists section where you’ll also find people who have added you to their interests. You can search for members based on location, ethnicity, keywords, or CupidTags. Obviously, this makes it easy to find someone who fits your requirements.

Price

In order to actually communicate with members, you’ll need to purchase a membership to AsianDating.com. The site has two subscription plans: Gold and Platinum. The Gold membership gives you basic access to communication features. A one-month Gold membership plan will cost you $29.98.

Platinum membership may be the most useful at your disposal. This is because one of the features you get with a Platinum membership is message translation. Because many of the members on AsianDating.com are actually from Asia, language barriers could present an issue. But, with a Platinum membership, you can surpass that problem. These memberships cost $34.99 for one month and also come with the ability to video chat and highlight your profile.

PROS

Decent amount of members

Simple website layout and design

Lots of communication options

CONS

Fetishizes Asian women

Many members won’t be close to you

Expensive

Final Verdict

When it comes down to it, AsianDating.com is just a little bit weird. So, is it the best Asian dating site on the internet? The answer to that is “Probably not.” It’s not a site aimed at exclusively Asian people. Instead, it’s almost more of a fantasy website for non-Asian men to find Asian women. If this is something that you are looking for, then AsianDating.com might be right for you. But, if you want an experience that doesn’t involve the fetishizing of Asian women, then you may want to look elsewhere. As it stands, we couldn’t give AsianDating.com more than 8 stars out of 10.

Happiness That Is Obvious on the Surface Is Not Always an Indicator for a Happy Couple

A couple that is deliberately showing off how happy they are in their relationship is the best indicator that there is something going wrong between the two of them. Two people who are pretty sure and confident of their feelings towards each other will not make any attempts to convince the world and the other people in the success of their relationship. If they are both happy with each other they will not bother to prove it to the outer world. The moment when they are not sure themselves, this is the time when uncertainty results in the desire to convince themselves by convincing the others. If you see a couple writing hearts and kisses on each other’s wall in some social network, do not think: “Ooh, how cute!” because you do not know the whole story that is hiding behind these superficial “signs of love”. Sometimes you do not know how much pain is hiding behind one smile, one kiss, one heart. True love does not need proofs in front of the others. True love exists on its own and only two people who are indeed happy with each other can understand and appreciate it.

First rule to Dating: You need to be sure that you are ready for it

You can’t devote yourself to a new relationship if you are still holding onto your last one. You need to move on without having the ghosts of the past haunting you. Make sure that you have freed your heart from everything else so that there could be room for something new. If you are not truly devoted to your new partner because of a past relationship, then the person next to you will find it out and will subconsciously or deliberately stay back. There is not enough room for two, so it is your choice which one of them is with priority. But if you have someone new next to you, give them what they deserve. Never put them in the shadow of a person you have lost. It is not fair.

Yes or No to Blind Dating?

Sometimes people who are single (and in some cases, people who are in a relationship, as well) struggle to find a new partner. With this influence technology and social media have on people these days, there is a practice that has been gaining popularity over the years. More and more people have begun to set a date with somebody they have met on the Internet, but have never seen in person. Or the so-called blind dates. First of all, this kind of dates may be pretty dangerous because you can never trust a stranger completely and you never know for sure who the person standing on the other side of the screen is. Not few of these dates, however, have proved to be successful. This is, in fact, the reason why so many people prefer to believe that a blind date will help them find their soul mate. What is more, this could be a memorable experience because you can find a person who is actually worth meeting. If you are courageous enough, and do not think about the worst thing that may happen in each situation, go for it. Yet, nobody knows. Maybe your future husband/wife is there, waiting for you.
