Dr. Dato’s Brief:

This post mentions variations of online dating sites that some of our users are astute to but other may not. I will try to clarify the different systems that are used by the various dating sites out there.

Matching System
These types of dating sites usually have a very lengthy questionnaire that users have to fill in before they can register to their site. It’s not something you can skip because it is this very information that the dating sites will use to pass through their dating algorithms in order to match you to other members on the website. Such dating sites include eHarmony, eVow and a host of others.

Search System
These dating sites allow you to go through a very simplified registration process often takes just a few minutes before you can become a member of these sites. Once you are logged in to the dating site, you are free to browse and search for other members on the website. The search criteria can be by location, age, photo and other options which allows you to limit the returned search to your exact needs. Such dating sites include zoosk, bandoo and more.

Hybrid System
This type of dating system does both of the above. Usually the system will allow you to register fairly quick to the website and you can go to a section where you can also find your matches that has been delivered by the matching algorithm of the site. To get the best results you need to plugin as much information about yourself into the system through their pages like ‘Edit Profile’ or ‘Update Profile’. Such dating sites include Plentyoffish, Jumpdates, Datehookup and more. Some of these sites will deliver your matches via an emil such as Jumpdates.

Hopefully this will help our readers to appreciate the kind of technology that goes on behind the scenes. Watch this space for more information on this subject.
