Quick Look
Feature Overview:
– Review matches for free
– Software finds compatible matches
– Multiple communication tools
PerfectMatch’s Duet compatibility system was developed by Dr. Pepper Schwartz, renowned author and relationship expert. She has worked on creating a system that will automatically find the best possible matches in the site’s database. PerfectMatch offers both free and paid subscriptions, at which there are two levels that include different features.
The sign up process isn’t very speedy, and is along the lines of the sign up process at Chemistry.com or eHarmony, but not quite as extensive. The driving force behind PerfectMatch’s matching system is the Duet Compatibility Profile, a 5-part questionnaire, the last step being Duet Analysis, an 8-part questionnaire — you must complete this at sign up. It should take around 20 minutes.
The Duet Compatibility Profile
Prove some basic facts about yourself to begin the sign up process
The Duet Compatibility Profile consists of 5 parts: Essentials, Values & Ideals, DealBreakers, Life & Lovestyle, and Duet Analysis.
How do you love?
During the final section of the Duet Compatibility Profile, you’ll be answering questions on romantic impulsivity, personal energy, outlook, predictability, flexibility, decision making style, emotionality, and self-nurturing — this helps to identify the essential elements of your personality used to find your perfect match.
Are you willing to take romantic risks?
Your energy level and intensity are important aspects of your personality
Are you “glass half empty” or “glass half full?”
Some other true/fasle statements you’ll answer in the Duet Analysis section:
- True or Fasle: I am a shy person, even if I don’t appear to be.
- True or False: I like to plan everything out in advance.
- True or False: I would like to have a place to go to every weekend and/or most vacations.
- True or False: I frequently need alone time. If I don’t get it, I can feel trapped or anxious.
Profile and Photos
Once you complete the personality compatibility portion, you’ll be directed to your home page. From there, you can tweak your profile further by adding photos.
PerfectMatch’s interface is uncluttered by ads and is relatively easy to navigate
Although PerfectMatch provides multiple easy ways to post your photos — via upload, email, or snail mail — you are only allowed 3 total under a free account. Even with a paid account, you’re only allow a max of 8 total, which is far less in comparison to sites like Chemistry.com, which allows up to 25.
PerfectMatch offers multiple ways to post your photos
When you’re ready to start diving in to your matches, PerfectMatch makes it easy to size everyone up. From the Home page you can click on your new matches list to browse — click on one that catches your eye. PerfectMatch by default displays “Compare Us:” Your match, a photo, and their information side-by-side with yours so you can make a decision on whether or not you’d like to make a connection.
