PerfectMatch is the ideal choice for singles that have already tried eHarmony and are still searching for a long-term relationship or marriage. The site’s use of the Duet Compatibility System, which strongly considers personality type when suggesting matches, takes on a scientific approach and provides members with a more precise choice of profiles based on compatibility.

Ease of Use
Perfectmatch is a straightforward site that is made for singles that are seriously looking for deep relationships. The site’s navigation is divided into clearly-labeled sections that make it simple for users to find what they are looking for. Search options include quick, custom, compatibility and keyword searches. While it may take a while to fill out the Duel Compatibility assessment, it is a fun survey that does most of the work for you and helps weed out non-matches.
The help section provides a selection of help topics and frequently asked questions, but PerfectMatch.com does not offer customer service by phone. However, Dr. Schwartz and customer service representatives are available by email.

The Bottom Line
PerfectMatch gives its members the best of both worlds with its matchmaking system and useful search options. Its Duet Compatibility System allows plenty of opportunity for serious singles to find their “Perfect Match.” However, pricing is on the higher end compared to other dating sites. The site has a plethora of features that make it easy to navigate the online dating scene. The “Love and Life” section provides numerous tips for every dater, including relationship quizzes, polls and dating guides. Perfect Match’s safety features allow for optimum profile privacy, but its help and support does lack enough resources.
