This is Be2.com.au:
Be2.com.au is an online dating agency that began in Germany in March 2004. In 2007, they expanded to other countries. At the moment there are about 36 million registered members on Be2, and of those 50,000 users are registered in Australia. This number represents individuals from 34 different countries.Love is just a heartbeat away!
"Find the one who’s right for you" is the slogan that Be2 runs off and aims to bring the best quality online dating service to you. In recent years, however, advertising campaigns have been far and few between and therefore not as many singles are joining as they once did. Do remember, though: despite the lower number of joining members, Be2’s matching algorithm still has huge potential when it comes to finding a fitting match!
The central machination behind Be2.com is this matching algorithm, or its scientific personality test. In essence, it attempts to assess the compatibility of two users. Candidates will then be suggested to you based on the answers you provide to the test.
Overall, the test consists of 60 questions and will take you around 15 minutes to complete.
Be2.com.au has lots of members and cheap, short term membership. However... watch out with the payment renewals!

Matching procedure of Be2.com.au:
- Steps to success:
- The questionnaire is a bit long for you and your desired partner.
- Test duration: about 15 min
- Quantity of proposed partners:
- By narrowing down your search criteria, you yourself have an impact on contact proposals displayed.
- In most cases, you receive around 40 suitable contact proposals.
- This list is not static and is updated depends on new members who sign in.
- Quality of the matching algorithm:
- The Be2 mediation algorithm bases itself off your tastes, preferences and other information garnered from the test, therefore finding the most fitting partners.
- Also be aware that the first message you receive will contain automatically generated text. Do not let this put you off as it is standard on Be2!
- Judging the quality of the mediation algorithm of an agency objectively is almost impossible. University researchers do not dare to make such statements...
- That is why we can only provide you with our own personal impression that we received after having looked at the personality traits, preferences, ideas etc. that were taken into account by the respective agencies.
- In the course of the last few years, all online dating agencies have reached a similar algorithm. Their main difference is in how far you can look for partners yourself.
- Given contact guarantee:
- The duration of your subscription will be extended if you do not get at least 10 contacts as a paying member within 3 months.
- Quality of user profiles:
- Profiles on Be2 can be quite revealing, giving singles the opportunity to talk about things such as facts, their views and lifestyle.
- Most of it is a 'tick the answer' situation and not a lot of free text. This is a plus for those who do not consider themselves fantastic writers.
