Chemistry.com Free Weekend May 2012
Chemistry.com’s latest free communication weekend for the USA has just been announced. It runs from Friday May 4th to Sunday May 6th 2012.
After taking the personality test at Chemistry.com, you can view your personalized matches and choose who to make contact with. There is no browsing of profiles like you would on many general dating sites; all matches are provided for you. The personality test was designed by Dr. Helen Fisher (Chief Scientific Adviser to chemistry.com) and has reportedly been taken by over 8 million people worldwide.

Midsummer’s Eve Ups Free Message Limit
Midsummer’s Eve has just increased its free membership message limit from three to fifteen per day. Sounds like a good move to us from one of our featured 100% free dating sites. Three messages is a little restrictive if you happen to strike up a conversation eh!? On the other hand we still like the idea of a message limit for free sites as (in theory, at least) it would make it more difficult for anyone not genuinely interested in dating or a particular profile to ‘spam’ large numbers of members. The best option might be to allow unlimited messages to another member (so you can get a conversation going!) – but no more than a few members in any one day!? Not all dating sites have this issue; some compatibility sites like eHarmony for example only allow you to contact those who are deemed a match for you in the first place. What do you think?
Match UK adds Dating Advice Site
UK.Match.com has a new dating advice site – advice.uk.match.com and we review it here. In our opinion it’s got just enough articles for starters. We won’t be joining the brave few who chose to ‘like’ it on Facebook though; it’s not that good! Not too surprising to find it’s sprinkled with links to Match sites and yes, you guessed it, pictures of sexy looking singles wait patiently at the end of every article. I don’t remember my matches looking that good last time I logged into Match!
There’s quite a line up on the main menu, which initially looks impressive but quickly disappoints. Three entries are dating advice by other names and form the core content of the site. There’s one other main menu item of interest; LoveGeist – their annual dating report (more on this later!). Selecting ‘Reviews’ from the main menu invites you to submit a review for match.com. At the time of review, this section contained only three 5* reviews from ecstatic match.com users! A shame because it simply detracts from the sites creditability.
The quality of the articles depends on the author – and to be fair this is no different to eHarmony’s advice site. One of our favourites was the five key steps by Scott McKay; sound advice in our opinion. There’s plenty of ‘Why Men do this’ and ‘what women really want’ style articles to be found as well. There’s even an article on learning from Kim Kardashian’s 72 day marriage!
Right. Back to the LoveGeist report! In their words then; ‘the definitive annual study which tracks changing attitudes towards love and relationships in the UK and Ireland.’ We were a little surprised when we couldn’t find a link to the 2011-12 LoveGeist report; after a little searching we discovered there isn’t one! (yet).
The 2010 report is available for download though and makes for interesting reading. To give you a flavour, the 2010 report covers the effects of the recession (on the nations love life!), the current perception of marriage, what daters really want from relationships & the challenges faced by single parents when dating.
You can find all published LoveGeist reports via the LoveGeist reports page.

Friends Reunited Dating leased to Cupid PLC
So it appears that brightsolid has agreed a 10 year licensing deal with Cupid PLC to run and manage its UK focused dating sites; Friends Reunited Dating, Friends Over Fifty and Swoon. Having acquired Friends Reunited in April 2010, brightsolid reports that it will be concentrating on its core activities in online publishing and online technology.
Cupid reportedly has around 40 million people using their services worldwide. The plan is to port all sites to Cupid’s software platform, although exactly what this means for the users is not entirely clear yet. Cupid will be in touch with all Friends Reunited Dating members in the near future to let them know what’s in store.
I guess this move is not too surprising as Friends Reunited Dating, despite having a perfectly good platform and competitive pricing has been struggling to build the user numbers it needs for real success. The lower active membership numbers compared to the rival dating sites is the real reason behind its low position in the DatingSiteSavvy charts!
Cupid PLC and its myriad sites, in our opinion, are far more aggressive when it comes to customer acquisition. Whilst this may lead to more members for Friends Reunited Dating, will it be at the expense of the high customer service levels and general standards that members are used to? Will they be able to retain their position in the DatingSiteSavvy charts? Don’t worry, We will keep you posted..
