What are the odds you’ll find your soul mate online?


Online dating sites rely on a lot of personal data to find you a compatible partner...

New research is suggesting it might actually make it harder to find your soul mate. A team of scientists analyzed the formulas used it pairing up profiles and found a lot of flaws. They say the algorithms are missing the key component of chemistry that is virtually impossible to detect until you are face-to-face. Characteristics that singles seek out online are often very different than what creates a real connection in person. 

The study also found that that bigger dating pools could decrease the odds you’ll find a match. It can quickly become overwhelming to review potential mates and take on more of a shopping vibe. Online dating can be a great way to meet new people but your best bet is to take it offline as soon as you can and move on if it’s not a match.
