Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Currently in the mainstream of the online dating world, there are two classes of online dating sites and they differ in the way that members choose to find their partner.
Method 1: Often called matchmaking relies on users submitting a long questionnaire of their personality characteristics, their needs and the partner they are looking for. In this way the system will try to find compatible matches for you based on those personality dimensions. One such site is eharmony.
Method 2: You submit a shorter version of your profile and you do the search. The site has tools to narrow down your search according to different criteria of the search ie. age, weight, location, interests etc. An example of such a site would be Jumpdates.com.
Really its all down to preference and your taste but studies have suggested that people who are more serious about dating tend to opt for the matchmaking whereas people who want to have more flexibility and a wider choice go for the other one.
