Some 14 years ago a site named Match.com was launched. It has redefined a new way people meet and fall in love. Now the new venture of this site is chemistry.com. This is a paid online dating site with some unique features in this. You can look into depth and find who you are and what you want in a relationship by some fun made by chemistry’s personality test and profile creation.
Chemistry is a premium offering from match.com designed especially for serious daters.

The registration is finally completed with information as to your background, basic preferences and an upload of your picture.

The whole registration process  is very lengthy and some may give up because of this and you cannot skip any process.

You should be over 18 years old to register to this site.

Login & Customizing Profiles

You need to give your email and password for logging in to the site.

If you have just signed up, you are automatically logged into the site.

Customizing is not that great as you can only edit your profile and edit/add more images and to have access to more features you will need to purchase the premium membership.

Photo Profile Section

Photo uploading is easy and can be done directly from your computer and the site has no association with facebook or other third-party sites.

However, the site lets you post up to 26 images so you have ample opportunity to showcase the various facets of your life through your pictures.

There are rules for uploading your photos and they photos with sunglasses, blurry images, red eyes, crowded background and copyrighted materials will be rejected. Photos that are too racy, too big etc. will also not be approved. Photos with kids are acceptable only if you are in that image.

If you are not able to upload your pictures you can send them via mail to the site address and they will do this for you.

There is actually nothing to search for your matches as the site will automatically send you the list of the people who you might be interested in and works similar to the eharmony’s matchmaking engine.

I tried to see my matches, but the site mentioned that it will take some time to find a perfect match for me.

Messaging

Since this site does not have a search features, the only form of communication is by sending mail and that is a premium feature costing $49.95 per month which I find to be very expensive.

What’s Missing

One would expect at first glance that this site lacks many features available on other dating sites, but since this is a matchmaking site, Article the way it works is different. The matching ‘engine’ based on the information you provided tries to match you up with potential suitors and hence you will need to wait for the engine to come back with the appropriate matches each time. Howe frequently it does that, I am not sure.
