Are there any dating service websites that focus on matching based on DNA or astrology?

Putting any dating service websites that focus on matching based on DNA or astrology to the board because search results on it are almost entirely marketing. What I care about with dating service websites is who it actually surfaces more than anything else.

For context I am mostly comparing mainstream platforms rather than anything niche. For most people in this thread, the dating service websites experience lives or dies on the algorithm and almost nothing else.

The parts of dating service websites I keep getting stuck on:

• Photos with other people in them do worse on dating service websites than you would guess
• Test match quality on dating service websites deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix the algorithm on dating service websites; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; dating service websites activity is nothing like flat

If you have tried any dating service websites that focus on matching based on DNA or astrology recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

Where I differ from Justin Case on dating service websites: broadly agree on dating service websites — who it actually surfaces was what decided it for me too. There is no version of dating service websites where match relevance sorts itself out without you doing something. What changed my results on dating service websites was treating match quality as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

If the algorithm is your main worry with dating service websites, test it in the first week rather than the first month. There is no version of dating service websites where match quality sorts itself out without you doing something. I keep two accounts running to compare suggestion relevance across the apps everyone has heard of, and dating service websites sits mid-table. Not saying dating service websites suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

Not my read at all: for people replying above, dating service websites was the only thing that produced anything.

Most of the noise about dating service websites comes from people measuring who it actually surfaces over far too short a window.

I keep Datedesire open as a control while testing dating service websites — useful for judging match quality honestly.

I read Whitney_B's reply on dating service websites and that tracks with my dating service websites run, which was fine until compatibility scoring became the whole experience.

That feels too harsh on dating service websites, given match relevance is a problem across the household-name apps rather than specific to it. Most of the noise about dating service websites comes from people measuring the algorithm over far too short a window.

For the crowd on this board, the dating service websites experience lives or dies on the algorithm and almost nothing else. The thing people underrate about dating service websites is how much match relevance depends on your own city.

If you want a second data point on dating service websites, Flurrydate is the one I run alongside it.

Adrian Cross put the dating service websites case better than I would have, though yes, and I would add that the algorithm on dating service websites gets worse the longer you stay.

@LaurenP makes a fair point about dating service websites, but i would argue the opposite on dating service websites: who it actually surfaces is the one thing it handles better than the household-name apps. Nobody warns you that who it actually surfaces on dating service websites scales with how many people are online at your hours.

I judge dating service websites by one thing now: whether suggestion relevance improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Whatever you pick, judge dating service websites on suggestion relevance after a month rather than after a weekend.

Disagree, because blaming compatibility scoring lets you off the hook — my dating service websites results improved when my profile did. What changed my results on dating service websites was treating the algorithm as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Most of the noise about dating service websites comes from people measuring compatibility scoring over far too short a window. Honestly, match quality was less of a problem on dating service websites than the sheer time it ate. Take that as one data point on dating service websites rather than a recommendation.

The short version for dating service websites:

• Run dating service websites beside one other option so you have a baseline for suggestion relevance
• Turn off read receipts on dating service websites if match relevance is making you anxious about response times
• Compare dating service websites against the big apps on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Message within a day of matching — on dating service websites that window closes fast
