As a sister site of Match.com and Match Affinity (our No. 1 choice in this category of matchmaking websites), we expected a lot from Chemistry.com. The Chemistry formula has been the subject of intense media consideration for many months now, with the scientist behind the Chemistry.com structure making a number of high profile television appearances across the USA and beyond. Dr. Helen Fisher, a professor of social anthropology and renowned expert in the biology of attraction and romance, devised the complex Chemistry.com matching algorithm following years of research into the subject. What results, therefore, is a world-class online matchmaking site built on solid scientific principles. While this does not automatically mean that the site will be successful in matching you with your perfect partner, it does mean that you stand just as good chance with Chemistry.com as anywhere else, and with more than 14 million active users on the site, there’s a lot of potential partners to be matched with, too!
In joining Chemistry.com, users have to complete the usual extensive personality and attribute questionnaire. This questionnaire has been discussed and featured on a number of high-profile television shows including 20/20 and Good Morning America, and has been praised for being both accurate and engaging. Users of Chemistry.com will have to devote between 30 minutes and an hour to completing the personality questionnaire and then ensuring that their profiles are adequately completed (so that if any matches prove potentially successful, other users can check out what you’re like!). We were particularly impressed by how varied the questionnaire was, covering a wide range of topics and doing so in a captivating way. The questionnaire uses a number of different question styles so as to ensure that, in completing it, it remains exciting and interesting (something that we think is particularly important in ensuring the responses given accurately reflect your personality). Once the questionnaire is complete, a wide range of useful features become available (based on your responses to the questionnaire). These tools not only help to improve the dating experience, but provide some startlingly accurate insights into your personality along the way.
Chemistry.com runs in a network-like fashion, with users having a constant, live awareness of profiles viewed and responses to ‘interested in’ requests. Once the personality questionnaire is complete, users have access to all of the profiles that match their requirements and, similarly, those other users are also made aware of another potential match to their profile. As such, all users’ profiles appear in one of the categories of ‘match’, ‘viewed’, ‘liked’ or ’contacted’ etc. so that the site effectively provides a ‘status update’ on your dating search. Users also get access to their ‘personality insight’, personally devised by Dr. Helen Fisher, which fits all members into particular categories and provides a summary of personality traits expected from individuals of a particular type. Whilst this in itself is not likely to help you in your search for love, the personality insight does suggest what ‘category’ of people would make the best partner (and as the site lists individuals by their personality type, this is certainly a potentially useful feature). One of our favorite features on Chemistry.com was First Meet, which allows users to set up their first meeting with another Chemistry user using a range of pre-set locations in your area. These suggested locations are categorized so that you can choose the perfect location for your first meeting.
If you’re already a member of Match.com, it’s extremely easy to join Chemistry.com as the site offers an automatic profile transfer. You will still have to pay the membership fee, however, and at $26.65 a month (at its cheapest), it is one of the more expensive sites we have reviewed in this category. Nevertheless, the site has an excellent overall quality and a range of great features.
