AGELESS LIFESTYLES — Nov 15 — 23½ million single Baby Boomers are using
online dating and more than five million people over 55 have used online
dating as well. "Novices do best by
starting with large free sites like PlentyofFish.com to get a feel for
online dating. With that feel, they may want to move on to niche sites", said online
dating psychologist Dr. Jim Houran. FULL ARTICLE @ AGELESS LIFESTYLES
At the original article:
“On similarity and compatibility, it appears that similarity helps with religion, values, and perhaps politics, and is somewhat important for education and intelligence. When it comes to personality, however, it is hard to predict what works. Finally, Dr. Houran suggested that rather than just matching for similarities, as eharmony.com does, the most sophisticated online dating is assessing and coaching.”
Dr. Houran is right when he says:
“When it comes to personality, however, it is hard to predict what works. ”
The word *similarity* has different meanings for different persons, that is because I always ask how exactly similarity is calculated == the main matching math equation, without revealing proprietary information.
Also personality could be assessed with different tests, like MBTI, DISC, Big-5, 16PF5, and others.
In August 2005, Dr. John A. Johnson told me, “There are probably undiscovered factors beyond similarity of any type that determine relationship quality.”
