Science And Online Dating

Science And Online Dating Cover
Considering the myriad dating sites on the net of late, it's becoming more and more difficult to find the one that might be right for you. But now some online dating sites are trying to use science as a basis for helping you in your journey of finding true love.

SCIENTIFICMATCH, launched in 2008, makes it its mission to match people based on genetic testing. The site will take a cheek swab from you, process your DNA, do a background criminal and bankruptcy check, verify your age and marital status, and then find the perfect partner for you, who has also undergone the virtual anal cavity search.

COST: $1,995.95 FOR A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP

CHEMISTRY, launched in 2006 by major online dating site Match.com, used biological anthropologist Helen Fisher to develop a questionnaire that is designed to find a compatible partner based on your temperament (i.e. how decisive, empathetic and adventurous you might be).

COST: $50 A MONTH

EHARMONY, the granddaddy of all scientific match websites, was founded by a marriage counselor in 2000, and expects members to devote about a year's time to filling out a questionnaire that will make you cry. Perhaps I'm exaggerating a little bit. The questionnaire is designed to help match people based on their morals, values, background, and social style.

COST: $45.95 A MONTH

Online dating is a $976 million industry (that's annual) in the US; it's not easy to be the new guy in town and be successful in such a mass market, so the aforementioned sites believe that anyone who signs up is interested in long-term relationships that will eventually lead to marriage.

I mean, I don't know too many guys who'd pay two grand for a one-night stand. But then, I see way too many jackasses spending way too much cash at bars in the hopes of getting a piece of tail, so I don't know.
