Dr. Pepper Schwartz, sounding the German equivalent of my favorite soda, is the brains behind this dating experience. The good doctor, always referred to by her full title, seems to provide more input into the site than say Dr. Neil Clark Warren does on his infamous eHarmony site. Despite Neil’s name being longer and more serious sounding, he appears more of a figurehead than old Pep does. On Perfect Match, there are personality tests, links to online TV/radio, the doctor’s regular column and a special "Ask Dr. Pepper Schwartz" exclusive.

"...at almost $60 US for just one month, it’s a pricey proposition."

I am a simple man, but if you read the results of my personality test, many of my personal characteristics are complicated and contradictory to one another. Perfect Match accused its major competitor of transparent compatibility testing. I have to say that I found PerfectMatch is much more obvious about where you're headed during and after the test.

The purpose of various sections of questions was quite plainly labeled and I could easily have fudged my answers to get the results I imagined were ideal. When matches were presented to me, it was abundantly clear that they were picked based upon their ability to tolerate my most blatant flaws. eHarmony’s questionnaire was more complicated and its modus operandi on making matches was never obvious to me.

One benefit of the site over its competition that is very evident to me is the ability to search profiles yourself as opposed to being based on the compatibility test alone. I waited a couple weeks before receiving any matches from eHarmony. Perfect Match lets me check out limited numbers of the other members for free.

Therefore, to compare Perfect Match to eHarmony, I have to say Perfect Match has a lot more content—period. It provides a fuller online experience and let’s you make some choices that eHarmony insists it can make for you better than you can make for yourself. Any Perfect Match contact is going to require a premium subscription and at almost $60 US for just one month, it’s a pricey proposition.

Visit Perfect Match if you want to try another “unique” compatibility system.
