Reverse Matching is the latest feature on Match.com.
From the website:
With one click, we can deliver the members who are looking for you using the personal information you’ve entered in your profile.
That sounds interesting. Let’s try it on my profile. Drumroll…. 50 pages of women! Apparently I’m not as discerning as I thought, or the reverse matching algorithm is not doing it’s job.
Read the fine print, “To get different results, simply update your profile.” I’m casting too wide a net with my current requirements, and I need to narrow down my criteria. I revised my profile, cranking down on my criteria, especially age range, hair color and finances and mark all “selection very important”. I see there is a new interface for editing.
Done. Because I didn’t change my essay, I’m exempt from the 24-72 hour review period. I’ll wait until I get a confirmation and then share my reverse matching results. Hopefully less than 50 pages next time.
I see a new feature for gently letting down people who contact you with a selection of “not interested” emails. I don’t have any emails in my inbox so I can’t vouch for this but I do know that Yahoo! has provided this option for quite some time. Match is starting to play catch-up and matching Yahoo! feature for feature, interesting.
