Perfectmatch.com, as seen on “Science of Love” on NBC TV, connects people seeking their perfect partner using a compatibility system scientifically devised with over 30 years of research. Unlike eHarmony, another top dating site that boasts its focus on compatibility,
Perfectmatch.com doesn’t lock you into those matches selected for you by the system. It lets you conduct your own searches using a wide assortment of advanced search tools. It is this combination of compatibility systems and advanced search tools that make
Perfectmatch.com stand apart.
But the benefits don’t stop there—
Perfectmatch.com also boasts an on-staff relationship expert, Dr. Pepper Schwartz (author of “Finding Your
Perfect Match”, and seen on Today, ABC, CNN, NBC, Oprah), to give you support and advice whenever you need it.
Perfect Match is more expensive than most other dating sites, but they attribute this to their commitment to strictly help those people who are serious about wanting a long-term relationship, instead of just friendships or casual encounters.
Perfectmatch.com caters to the following types of relationship:
- Heterosexual
- Homosexual
- Bisexual
- Long-term relationships
Perfectmatch.com services are available in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
Perfectmatch.com does not offer a Free Trial Membership. The only things you can do for free are sign up, take the Duet Compatibility Profile test, and use your Basic Account to browse other profiles. You cannot, however, communicate with other members without upgrading to a paid membership.

Perfectmatch.com was launched in 2003, and while they are extremely guarded about the number of members, they claim that more members in different demographic ratios (in terms of gender and geography, for example) are joining all the time. The gender ratio at Perfect Match is 50-50.
All Perfect Match members must be at least 18 years old. Members also have to be single, divorced, or widowed. Adults who are currently legally separated from their spouses are not eligible to become Perfect Match members until their divorces are final.
Perfect Match gives you a choice between working with the matches it comes up with for you and searching for matches on your own. The profile is easy to fill out, as it’s mostly a collection of True/False questions. Icebreakers are helpful in taking that all-important first step. And with Perfectmatch.com, photos are not revealed until you request them, proving that Perfectmatch.com wishes to help people find deep, meaningful, and permanent connections that aren’t made or broken prematurely on superficial grounds like a person’s appearance.
