This is PerfectMatch.com:
Unfortunately, PerfectMatch has closed down. If you are still looking for a serious relationship through a matchmaking site, feel free to take a look at our test winner, EliteSingles!
Dr. Pepper Schwartz, a premier premier dating and relationship expert, is behind the psychological technology that forms the Duet® Total Compatibility System. This system forms the basis of PerfectMatch.com and not just matches one or two aspects, but rather the "whole" you - your personality, lifestyle, values and preferences. PerfectMatch.com, as a matchmaking site, has over 5 million registered users.
Another cool feature of PerfectMatch.com is its video dating profiles. The only thing you have to do is attend one of their free dating events where a professional production crew will shoot, edit and produce your 2-5 minute matchmaking video - for free! Your video dating profile will be available on PerfectMatch.com as well as on the Dating On Demand service in your local area!
Further, PerfectMatch.com combines characteristic features of dating agencies, such as providing you with possible matches, and characteristics from “normal” dating sites, such as enabling you to search their database for potential partners yourself.

- The more info you give the more proposed matches you get.
- You can see a lot of info about the person even with the free option.
- Quality of the matching algorithm:
- The Duet® Compatibility test is what sets off the algorithm and finds the right matches for you. The test claims to focus on the "whole you", namely things like personality, lifestyle, values and preferences. There is no doubt that these are (if not vital) factors to consider in a relationship.
