Perfectmatch.com Review

Perfectmatch.com, as seen on “Science of Love” on NBC TV, connects heterosexuals 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 Perfect Match stand apart.

But the benefits don’t stop there—Perfect Match 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. Perfectmatch.com 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, heterosexual relationship, instead of just friendships or casual encounters.

Credibility
Credibility

Perfect Match 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 Perfectmatch.com is 50-50.

Safety
Safety

All Perfectmatch.com 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.

Ease of Use
Ease of Use

Perfectmatch.com 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 Perfect Match, photos are not revealed until you request them, proving that Perfect Match 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.
