• Matchmaking site rather than dating site. You fill out a detailed questionnaire and they find matches for you. You will not have the ability to search the members' database yourself!
• Duet Compatibility Matching System - The initial questionnaire you fill in when you join will be used to find matches for you. This is an extensive questionnaire based on the same theory that inspired the famous Myers Briggs Type Indicator, this is the only test of its kind and it is the only one that tells you which traits your partner should share and which should be different.
• Once the system returns matches for you, you may initiate contact using a guided communication system, comprising of more questions and answers, or proceed straight to a Fast Track mode of communication.
• Most subscription packages include a match guarantee.
• No need to pay until a match is found for you and you wish to communicate with the other person
• One of the very few dating/matchmaking sites with roughly equal numbers of male and female members
• Recommended for long term, serious relationships only - not for casual dates or simple flirting!
• Excellent technical support.

Joining PerfectMatch.com:

• Fill out the extensive questionnaire and receive your personality profile as a free member. As a free member you will also be sent matches.
• You must upgrade to a paid subscription in order to initiate contact with any of the matches you are sent or in order to reply to anyone who initiates contact with you.

Performing a Search on PerfectMatch.com:

• You may not perform any member searches on PerfectMatch. The system will find matches for you based on your personality profile using the Duet Compatibility Matching System. These matches will be sent to you and only then can you view their profiles and choose to communicate with them.

Editor's Verdict:

What can we say about PerfectMatch? PerfectMatch is not your typical dating site, that's for sure! When you visit PerfectMatch, the first thing you notice is that it's divided into two sections: a section for singles who are looking for love; and a section for those who are already married. The singles section is designed to find you a perfect match - not just a date - but your perfect match in life, which is no mean feat! The married section is designed to strengthen your relationhsip with your spouse. For the purposes of this review, we will focus on the singles section of PerfectMatch - the section that's going to find you your perfect match!

PerfectMatch differs from almost every other dating site in that it won't allow you to search the members' database, no matter whether you're a free member or a fully paid-up member! You're probably thinking that's crazy, right? But the way PerfectMatch works is that they do the searching and the matchmaking for you. When you join PerfectMatch, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire. This questionnaire isn't like the other quick questionnaires you're asked to complete with other dating sites - this questionnaire is long - very long! Depending on the amount of thought you give to each question, this questionnaire will take you between 1 and 2 hours to complete - so a cup of coffee is probably in order!

As soon as you finsih the questionnaire, you will be able to view your personality profile. Once your questionnaire is complete, the system will begin trying to find compatible matches for you using its patented Compatibility Matching Sytem. The system may return just a handful of matches or it may return 50 or so, depending on your profile and the number of matches it has found. Also, you may not receive any matches for a few days or even a few weeks on PerfectMatch - so don't expect results right away. However, the matches you do get should (in theory) be very closely matched to your personality type.

Once matches are sent to you, you will be able to view the profiles of your matches and decide whether or not to initiate contact with them. In order to initiate contact, you must be a fully paid-up subscriber to PerfectMatch. And in order to reply, the person you're contacting must also be a fully paid-up member. Contacting the other person may be done in one of two ways: either by using the Guided Communication Process to break the ice, or bypass this using the Fast Track system and just contact them directly. The Guided Communication System, which PerfectMatch recommends you use is another round of Q&A's between you and your match to further determine your compatibility. The Fast Track communication system allows you to bypass all this hooey and contact your match directly.

With all these questions and answers and the "Guided Communication System" PerfectMatch is definately not for those of you who are looking for a quick date, a casual fling or just a bit of fun. It is basically for those of you who are looking to find your life partner, and nothing less.

Personally, I feel that all this scientific approach to dating based on hundreds of questions and answers and personality profiling is really taking all the fun out of dating. For me at least, part of the experience of dating is discovering for yourself how well matched you are and profiling your partner's personality yourself, subconciously, in your own mind. Personally, I would rather do my own searching and matchmaking, rather than relying on an algorithm to do it for me! For me at least, most of the fun of online dating is being able to search through hundreds of profiles of potential matches in my area, browse through their photographs, read what they have to say about themselves and even watch them live on video. Then I like to strike up a conversation over email or instant messenger, and do my best to charm them into meeting me for a date. You can do all of this and more at many of the other dating sites in this category, notably Match.com, our No. 1 choice in this arena. But at PerfectMatch.com, all of that is replaced with an algorithm that determines your compatibilty based on 29 different criteria! Is it just me, or does that take all the fun out of it?

Whilst the lengthy registration process and the fact that you can't perform your own searches may put some people off PerfectMatch.com, there is no doubt that it's advanced matchmaking skills make it a great choice for anyone serious enough about finding a long-term serious relationship to complete the lengthy registration questionnaire. Strictly speaking, PerfectMatch.com doesn't really belong in this category, as it is a matchmaking site, rather than a dating site per se. This is noticeable from the many differences between PerfectMatch.com and many of the other sites listed here. However, with more and more dating sites offering automatic matchmaking, the disctincion between the two groups has become blurred enough for us to lump them all together in the one category. However, if an advanced matchmaking site is what you're after, then we recommend Chemistry.com, which just beats PerfectMatch in terms of its matchmaking ability and is sure to return more matches in a shorter space of time. Also, Chemistry.com is a good bit cheaper to join that PerfectMatch. With a hefty joining fee of $59.95 for just one month's membership, we can't help feel that PerfectMatch.com is overpriced compared to the competition.

Whatever your opinion on PerfectMatch, its popularity and success at matching couples with one another can't be ignored. Could you be next? Well, if you're willing to plough your way through the extensive joining questionnaire, pay the hefty joining fee of $59.95 for just one month's membership, and wait around for your highly compatible matches to trickle in, then just maybe you will be! But for me, I'm off to see if there's anyone new in my area on Match.com!
