PerfectMatch is a great site for singles over the age of thirty who have arrived at the place in life where they want to settle down and get married
Roughly 77% of all the 15 million PerfectMatch members are over thirty. This is not the place to just make friends for casual dating. Don’t join if you are not ready for a serious dating relationship. Be prepared to enter a long term committed relationship that could very likely result in saying “I do!” sometime in the future. At the very least, you will learn more about yourself, what “type” of person you are, and what “type” of person would be the best match for you. The PerfectMatch system uses matching principals based on the Briggs & Myers Type Indicator, and measures 29 different areas of compatibility.
Start with FREE regular membership, fill out all the questionnaire pages and relax. You do not have to pay until you are happy with the matches they send to you and wish to contact the person(s) they’ve matched you up with. Plus, PAID membership comes with a match guarantee to make sure you are totally satisfied with the matchmaking services rendered. Once you are a fully paid up member you can choose to contact your matches via the “Guided Communication System” which is, you guessed it, a series of more compatibility questions to further test your patience and the mathematical computer matching formulas ability to help you find your soul-mate. Or, you can choose to use the FAST TRACK communication option and finally contact them directly. It is up to you, but it seems like the sooner you begin direct communication the sooner you can let your hearts guide the matching/relationship and get the math out of the equation.
Membership Costs
At the time of this writing, 12 months membership will save you about 64% at $249.99 total ($20.83/mo.). 6 months membership costs $159.99 total ($26.67/mo.). 3 months membership costs $99.99 ($26.67/mo.); and 2 months costs $64.99 ($32.48/mo.) which is only about 5 bucks more than $59.95 for 1 month. Start with FREE regular membership and before you decide to pay for full membership, make sure you have been matched up with singles that you want to contact. Be aware that the person(s) with whom you have been matched must also be fully paid up members in order for you to contact them.
The best way to use everything PerfectMatch has to offer to seriously dating singles looking for a compatible soul-mate
Our advice for joining any matchmaking service is always to be prepared to fill out online forms and questionnaires for hours. But do not rush or cut corners. You would only be hurting your chances of being correctly matched up with your potential soul-mate. This might sound a bit old fashioned or even pedantic, but do at least consider filling out the long, detailed online personality questionnaire with help. It could be a close friend or family member who knows you very, very well. They might prove to be very valuable in helping you to define yourself, likes, dislikes, etc. in such a way that you might just get matched up with someone who is perfect for you. Also, once you finish signing up, be patient because it could take up to a month before you start receiving your matches. Try to fight the urge to search the matchmaking database yourself. Remember all matches are chosen for you by dating experts or psychologists. So do not get frustrated. As a hedge, you could go off and join an actual online dating service that gives you total access to search the database. See our reviews of dating services for a good selection.
One final matchmaking tip
Take full advantage of any free offers. PerfectMatch offers a free dating relationship book entitled Finding Your Perfect Match by Dr. Pepper Schwartz—which is well worth reading.
Also, bone up on your PerfectMatch movie trivia. It could come in handy. Viewing the movie entitled “Must Love Dogs” is not only very entertaining. Discussing it with your matches could supply the perfect way to break the ice. You could send an email like “Have you seen the movie ‘Must Love Dogs?’” “…what is your favorite scene?” “…I like the part where Diane Lane and John Cusack meet in the park and he says, etc.”
We like PerfectMatch and highly recommend it to you. Our only real caution is that you absolutely do not get to search the database and be your own matchmaker. This is a serious dating site for singles who are serious about finding a compatible mate.
