Chemistry.com Online Dating Site Review
OVERVIEW
Brought to you by the folks who run the successful sister dating company, Match.com, Chemistry.com was introduced in 2005 and is a branch from its sibling that takes meaningful, long-term relationships to a new level.
Rooted in the philosophy that great relationships are based on both compatibility and chemistry, the system formed by Chemistry.com was designed to help members find their most compatible partners and bring them together.
The unique approach for Chemistry.com is its more in-depth profile system developed by world renowned biological anthropology expert, Dr. Helen Fisher. For over 30 years Dr. Fisher has been studying the effects of human attraction and compatibility in areas that include biological, social, psychologically, and intellectually. She believes that once dating partners get past the romantic love stage of a relationship, then the "attachment" stage must set in between the partners in order to sustain the relationship.
Based on Dr. Fisher's extensive research on human attraction, Chemistry.com's system of matchmaking not only asks questions about you, but you are put through a series of puzzles, sounds, and images that peer into the heart of your answers. It is believed that matching your profile answers with other similar answers of other members can help you find that right compatibility.
Chemistry.com's goal is to match people for long term relationships rather than quick searches for potential mates and dates. Profile searching is not an option. Chemistry.com does all the work with an advanced matching system and allows members to look only at other profiles best matched by questions answered. The site allows matches to communicate with an introduction and a step-by-step paced question and answer system.
If you are truly looking for a long-term relationship with someone most compatible with you, Chemistry.com is a good place to begin. Free profile creation is available, and premium membership is $49.95 monthly, or $26.65 per month with 6-month subscription.
