There Should be Quality Standards of Free Internet Dating Sites – a Concept
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
In the previous dating article we talked extensively about “free dating war” which is kind of cold war between free internet dating sites to lure more and more online singles to their site. In the process, these sites forgot to think about the quality of the site and the requirements of online singles as they focused only to achieve high sign-ups.
While doing some research Jumpdates found that there are free internet dating sites who even posted jobs on freelance sites to get sign-ups. We don’t want to label any of these sites but, you can certainly understand the extent of black hat technique that are being employed. Sites will do much just to gain traffic, which is unfortunate because they are too busy concentrating on turnover. As a result many sites have an aged look about them and they have not kept up with the modern standards demanded by users.
Here is an idea how about having a platform like the upcoming Olympics for free internet dating sites where all the players from the dating industry would showcase their achievements with and figures. There should be a federation of online dating which keeps an eye on the entire site and create standards for dating sites. Something like ISO stands which never tell how to do business but keep and check to certain standards.

Are the compatibility figures in online dating sites a myth or a fact?
Friday, April 27th, 2012
We have reported in earlier posts about the big deal that many dating sites make regarding the algorithms that they employ to find your best matches. Although, we at Jumpdates feel that these can be useful aids to some online daters to find compatible matches, we do not think that they are the ‘holy grail’ to your compatible match.
We have covered many posts on the innate nature of human beings when it comes to relationships, marriage, gender differences and the many unique qualities that make all of us different. In addition to the complexity of each individual, add the unique relationship of the two individuals on top of this and we end up with an exceptionally intricate ‘union’ that cannot be determined through quantitative analysis alone.

We also know that human beings also have an innate ability to change within, so how does that ‘impact’ the relationship. Most likely, it will throw a curveball in the entire relationship in the eyes of your partner and the relationship will need adapting to. There are just too many factors for online dating sites to claim they have a perfect system with regards to compatibility, it’s just not possible.
What dating sites can work towards instead, is to promote and ‘open’ the eyes of members to greater possibilities. Provide them with the necessary tools for them to locate the partner they are looking for and let them decide what will work for them. Dating sites by all means will always provide an excellent platform to engage many singletons together to find their meaningful relationship and this will continue to grow for years to come. However, we should all be realistic to how far we can really pair up couples since this communion can only be really understood by the couples themselves.

Where You Want to go Matchmaking Sites or Free Dating Websites…Choice is yours
Friday, April 20th, 2012
There are plenty of matchmaking sites that claims to have a scientific method of doing matchmaking for online singles looking for their soul mate. Dr. Benjamin Karney – psychology professor from the University of California and other fellow professors did not find any thing scientific in these matchmaking algorithms.
The team of professors found that they failed to prove that the algorithm they used is scientific and did not give enough evidence to support their claim. This is where the freedom to search for your matches on free dating websites has advantage as it puts the power directly in the hands of online singles.
Free dating websites such as Jumpdates does not force online singles saying that these are the only perfect matches for you. There is no harm in sending what the algorithm considers as matches but, these matching algorithms need to be back up by enough good reasons and not by bold claims. The team of researchers from California University raised serious doubts on some of the claims made by major sites like eHarmony and others. We on the other hand at Jumpdates - free dating websites have quick pieces of advice for our fellow singles to start sending a short description as to why someone is your best match along with your matched profile which would be a great help for other online singles and shed new light to our critics.
