The ability of an online dating website to find you appropriate matches is what ultimately makes or breaks its success. In this category, we are assessing the ability of a website to show you matches that are correct for you. If a site has many members but does a lousy job at showing you the correct people, then the amount of traffic a website gets is irrelevant. Some of the features these websites present are personality tests, hot/favorite lists, advanced searching, compatibility charts, and voice/video uploading options. The more features a website has, the better you will get to know its members and the more educated your choice of partners will ultimately be.

The winner in the Search/Find Members category is True.com, with an impressive score of 30 / 34 = 8,82. True.com by far led the pack in terms of personality tests. With numerous amusing quizzes and descriptive personality types for each individual quiz, the dimensions of character it provides are not only informative but also entertaining. You can then see how compatible each of the separate types is, giving you a good idea of your compatibility with a person. Each quiz comes with its own compatibility chart and/or comparison of the types and how they get along. True.com also allows its members to upload both voice and video to their profiles, so you can hear and see what members look, move, and sound like. Isn’t that the biggest complaint online daters typically have? “He wasn’t anything in person like what I thought he would be from what he said.” True has taken care to minimize that most common of dating complaints.

In terms of the quality of results after searching, Match and American Singles are both worth mentioning. The quality of its members and the completeness of their profiles will most likely lend to a positive dating experience. Mate1 also scored well in the quality of its members’ profiles and the completeness of profiles.
