Perfectmatch Review
Perfectmatch.com (4/2/06), an eHarmony clone? The relationship matching of today looks a lot different than the online dating services of the 1990’s. Online dating has become more mainstream and may even one day become the norm for singles to find a statistically compatible match. Instead of displaying pictures and profiles to rate and choose from, users of Perfectmatch and similar sites are presented with professionally packaged online matching applications. Words like “scientific” and “compatability” and “expert” appear in site descriptions. Sponsors are often PhD’s who have done research in sociology or psychology. Free dating services seem to be a thing of the past. But that may not be so bad.
Perfectmatch looks a lot like its competitor, eHarmony. Perfectmatch is a “leading online relationship service” that has its genesis in decades of research by relationship expert, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington in Seattle and regular guest on “Oprah.” Sounding similar to eHarmony’s personality profile, the Perfectmatch Duet® Total Compatibility System finds members that have a high likelihood of compatibility with yourself. However, with Perfectmatch Duet® it is understood that marriage is not necessarily the goal of all members. Under the “Endorsements” section of the Perfectmatch.com site, there is no shortage of PhD’s offering their comments about Dr. Schwartz and the service:

Dating websites? All of them are in this for the $$$$ or the big fiery that has went on for quite some time that the internet is the way to go to meet singles. The free ones are no worse than the paid ones. Same ppl, same games, same ones had u met them in real life a few times you’d say, “nahhh, don’t think so!” The paid want you to believe there is better quality so you will pay. Most of the men are to cheap to even pay to contact the women. Why would you want to go out with a man who clearly lets you know he is not a paying member? Sounds like an exciting man to date to me! I believe I will pay to meet this loser???!!! Nahhhhh, don’t think so! I have met many ppl from off the net as well as in everyday life. I find most of the ppl who use the net are ppl with problems meeting folks in the real world, men with tons of problems {very dysfunctional men to put it mildly) that had u met them anywhere else b4 all the games, u wouldn’t have bothered. I met maybe 2 decent men out of nearly a hundred I dated and I understand lots of dysfunctional women with real life problems also hit these sites. Why? No effort to get out there and be real, be friendly, meet real ppl. I do just about anything now, even bars LOOK GOOD compared to internet dating and that is my opinion from EXPERIENCE with ANY of the big or small dating sites. A scam for sure on we “poor, lonely singles” not coupled up like most of the folks running these sites.

Why oh why didn’t I read the reviews before paying? Initially I thought it seemed great-a perfect combination of Match and Eharmony. But then the reality struck, there are basically no paying male members in my area (upstate NY). Save your money and try either eharmony, match or plenty of fish (which is free)!

I was originally drawn to the site because I was led to believe it was community based. I soon discovered it was not. I requested a cancelation and the responder stated he would cancel my account immediately and process a refund. Later when I checked my CC statement I discovered that the thieves had only credited me $29 and kept the other $50. Nowhere in the emails they sent me did they mention partial refund.
