Chemistry

From the creators of Match.com, Chemistry bases its matchmaking on science and compatibility. It has been designed from the ground up for singles who are serious about having long-term, meaningful relationships.

Why is this site so innovative? From leading experts and Chemistry's view point, meaningful relationships are built on two equally important foundations: compatibility and chemistry. Most sites just deal with compatible, but Chemistry's matchmaking system, based on years of research into human attraction and successful relationships, is designed to help you find both of these elements. From the type of questions asked, to the process of communicating with your matches (called First Meet Technology), you can see how a lot of time and effort went into designing a dating system that would work.

Positive aspects

  • May be one of the most detailed profiles to date, but it was also the most interesting. Chemistry combines your normal multiple select answers with questions on images, sound clips and short puzzles. I can honestly say that this was one of the more fun and meaningful profiles to fill out.
  • A 7 day full free trial. No need to use a coupon or promo code.
  • A different way to approach online dating.
  • This site uses a lot more graphics when asking questions and displaying answers. This makes it easier and faster to understand the question or answer.
